bulletsponge13 posted:I told my wife about the nerds losing their poo poo over Kid's First Book of Grimdark. The way to rope in kids is have them painting minis and playing games. They'll read the books because they like the game, not the other way around. Also a little grimdark is good for kids. I'm reading a series about Occupied Holland with my son right now, and the plight of the little Jewish boy doesn't have a lot of gravity if death camps don't exist. (I can't wait until he discovers the After the Bomb genre from the 80s.)

I read every Animorphs book and that poo poo's way darker than 40k. Like the 8th book or something just about an alien slowly staving to death in the main character's brain, pleading for its life.

Okay, but Animorphs is the high bar for children/teen literature and nothing has ever come close since. These books won't be as good as Animorphs, but that's okay because nothing is

The 2 books that hang with me from being that age are one where a boy has his personality programed into a robot replica as a way of traveling over lightyears only to discover that the aunt he is visiting is actually a replica controlled by someone (I don't.remember who. They were after her will) The other is I am the Cheese by Robert Cormier where it starts out as a travel story of a kid biking through Massachusetts but it is eventually revealed he is biking in circles in the yard of a mental institution trying to deal with effects of brain damage incurred in a car accident that was part of the assasination of his parents. The problem isn't that the books are Grimdark since the best kid lit is as well, it's that that kind of stupid dark wrecks a kid's willingness to read the kind of books that makes good adult readers. At least that's my concern, not the stupid things nerds are bringing up.

Honestly, as long as a kid is reading something they enjoy (and it's broadly age appropriate obviously), I don't think there is a wrong book for them. Most of he adults I know who read grew up reading their share of unbelievable trash.

Most of he adults I know who read grew up reading their share of unbelievable trash. Yeah, you're right to a point. I did to, but I think in retrospect I'm glad I had more challenging books mixed in with the Dragonlance. So: WH40k is not really too dark for a 8-10 year old The lore is not going to convince anyone to play the game There's probably better books for kids to read at that age It's fine, stop freaking out nerds! Cool. That's my reasoned position then. Thanks for that thread.

Ah, fresh off the presses: I joined a discord the other day of a guy whos videos I like to watch, and it seems some of the other fans are very /pol/ as you can see from what they thought was a hilarious joke.  Holy poo poo I just realized it was even titled Skaven Jew... what the gently caress is wrong with these people.

Tired: Skaven merchant based on anti-Semitic stereotypes. Wired: Skaven merchant based on Cut-Me-Own-Throat Dibbler (to include sausage grill). E: Just found the picture of CMOT from the Soul Music cartoon. Goddamnit  , what the gently caress is wrong with you guys?

Fair enough, it's reasonable to assume that (had I not been primed to be disappointed by seeing Skavenjew previously) I wouldn't make that association.

A litmus test against ork standards could be: is their shoota the shootiest, their choppa the choppiest, and are their teef all proudly on display? If some other aspect like ornamentation is prioritized higher then it ain't orky and is more likely based on some human bias.
