40k is literally nazi fanfiction and it's no surprise that real life nazis would be into it since it 100% validates them.

It's weird because I feel like the tone of Warhammer was satirical for a really long time and that that was literally the joke (i.e. the Empire is a parody nightmare theocratic bureaucracy) but I guess they figured out who was buying their game and reading their dime store paperbacks

yeah all warhammer poo poo was originally satirical and ironic, that's why it's full of so much crazy skull nonsense, no one needs a whole desk drawer full of skulls but they got 'em in warhams 40k because that poo poo was funny

unfortunately, irony becomes extremely dangerous when stupid people are exposed to it

ehh. no. warhammer 40k even now is supposed to be weird tragic grimdark black comedy. everything is loving terrible and always will be because everything is slowly falling apart and is hosed. its fun for lore nerds like me. yeah dumb Nazis jerk off to the aesthetics and quote the adeptus ministorum propaganda lines because they are too loving dumb to get that its making fun of them. I mean i am a democratic socialist and i love this poo poo.

yeah pretty much. though some of the dimestore paperbacks are fun. i like the cain ones and most stuff done by Aaron Dembski-Bowden. that dude can make a legit tragedy out of a angry giant terminal rage monster idiot named angron.

Yeah one of the running undercurrents of the lore is that if the humans just stopped being insane theocratic nazis for like, twenty minutes, things would start going their way.

its both. it was origonally satire, but then they get dummies who are too dumb to pick up on it to write poo poo and then you have stories about space hitler being right. and since games workshops is incompetent they'll never walk back on it so expect it to keep be schizo about it

there really isn't tho. its an extreme minority compared to dominant pop culture, which is overwhelmingly telling kids that Gay is OK

you have to be a real goony goon to think that todays kids are paying more attention to 40k than to Adventure Time

do you seriously think teens in 2017 america are reading 40k books? wow, lol. goons have a really hosed up idea of what mainstream youth culture looks like. i have to market to them all day so i know way more than i want to :(

the 4chan pepe /pol dorks are an overwhelming minority with a disproportionately loud voice in nerd culture. in fact, that minority/outcast status is what makes them so adamant. all the cool kids and the normal kids already hate them, why not just troll everybody IRL? Meanwhile,

honestly the only hard right is blops2 and sorta ghosts. the modern warfare series is SAS basicaly unfucking various mistakes of the US and russia. AW is a liberterian PMC trying to take over the world, ww2 us world war 2 and you play as the soviets a ton, and the new one is space nazis. BlOPS 1 is basicaly cold war pulp fiction and 3 is basicaly "nothing happend it was all a dream".

video games are basically the only pop culture were there's a significant alt-right presence, mostly due to preexisting demographics. hence why they can go apeshit over overwatch having women of color and get a news article but try to boycott a netflix series and get treated with a wet fart.

The Call of Duty franchise pretends they're apolitical, and nobody likes Nazis - but they paid Ollie North to guest star in one of their video games for Christ's sake. A loving traitor.

this, the gaming industry devs are pretty liberal/progresive in general apart from maybe some with libertarian bents as are most nerds. /pol/ are a bunch of edgelord kids or angry incel type neckbeards who get overly attached to "muh European culture" because they are losers. they arnt the loving majority. i like 40k/cod SP and ton of other nerdy violent poo poo, but i am not some white nationalist dickhead and neither are the various friends i have with the same interests and the people here with same interests.
