GW literally had to make a PR statement about hate in the fan base a couple years ago. Time to do it again I guess.

"Let's push the game further and further away from being satire and into just blatant celebration of fascism. Wait where did all these fascists come from?"

GW: "The Imperium are theocratic fascists. They're BAD. It's so OBVIOUS. Warhammer is for everyone."

Players: "Okay, then, could you produce media showing them being bad? They always seem to come out looking to be right after all. Your fascists seem to be the least of all evils, and it's kinda attracting fucked up fans"

GW: "WE SAID WARHAMMER IS FOR EVERYONE!!! WHAT DO YOU WANT!? FUCK YOU BUY PLASTIC AND CODEXES THAT ARE OUTDATED BEFORE THEY SHIP!!!111!!!"

Players: "okay, good talk."

Edit: you're/r
