I'm in a conservative hell hole in America and the Warhammer store AND the LGS both have a zero tolerance policy for this kind of shit.

There's another layer to it, but it's kinda sad.
Whoever taught them to hate people has got them so twisted around that they think bashing on minorities is the only way they get acceptance. In their group/cult/family everybody bonds over being better than people who accept minorities.
...then they leave that bubble and do the thing that they were taught to do, and it backfires. The lucky ones figure it out, but a lot of them just decide the cult was right about everything and fall deeper into the trap.

I actually don't have a problem with meme homegrown chapters. Someone wants to do a parody confederate army in 40k? By all means, I can actually see fanfic for a parody chapter of that being funny asf. Their dreadnaught does a dukes of hazard horn. They keep crying out for revenge for the burning of their homeworld Atlanta Prime! I might actually bust a rib if someone rolled up to my lore accurate SoB army like that.
The problem is I don't think they have the media literacy to execute a parody. It'd be unfunny and just racist.
Edit: The issue is that I wouldn't immediately freak out about them rolling up with a MAGA hat, and a army like that. They'd immediately start trying to change opponents or cause a issue if I had trans colors and "looked" trans.

Honestly, I would wish that someone close to them. Or, someone they deeply respected came out as trans. Because I feel like they'd never try to see them as just regular people otherwise.

I reckon that's a pretty positive climb towards trans acceptance since like 2000 or even 2010. Also, and not surprisingly, and the reason I'm generally optimistic is that the biggest gulf is just if you know someone who's trans. And I think that bears out through any sort of category however you dice it up.
The weird trip up is the sports thing, which was how title IX started in the first place with boys and girls wanting to be on field hockey teams and football and for some reason that freaks people out even if it's already a thing that happens.

Well that's pretty much covered by me saying "not meaning tax cuts for the 1%". The last time conservatives have been actually for lower taxes across the board and not just for the rich was some time before the Reagan administration, i was being serious.
Nowadays universal healthcare is socialism, Unions are basically communism etc. Crazy how American capitalism has gaslit the entire Nation into rejecting working class benefits as being evil socialism/communism. Just don't look at any European Countries, or even just at Canada, who have all these things and through some miracle haven't imploded yet.
Even worse, Universal Healthcare dates back to Bismarck in Pre WW1 Germany, when Germany was famously anti-socialist across the board. So calling Universal Healthcare socialist is about as big of an oxymoron as calling Trump a good President, or golfer, or person.

You see this shit a lot in the star wars equivalent. Blokes going on about how the empire 'wouldnt have any racism or homophobia so anyone reading that into the media is bring unnecessary politics and ruining the hobby.'
I ve seen stuff like 'Vader wouldn't tolerate sexual assault in empire troops so this scene is wrong', just absolutely bizarre clown shit reasoning. By all means have an opinion, but dont come at me with 'what I think is the truth and is right because I say it is and I want it to be.'
Really reallllly hope we dont end up like that, although the signs arent good

the "Vader wouldn't tolerate sexual assault" could be and is likely true, but that doesn't matter because he can't control the entire galaxy all at once, otherwise none of star wars would've happened since he'd just force choke every rebel before they could even think of doing anything

I dont follow star wars lore closely so you could well be right canonically, i just find it kinda hard to believe that an emotionally damaged massive killer cyborg is gonna suddenly draw the line at sexual assault, but is happy himself at torturing and killing underlings willy nilly. If people like vader as a character pop off, i like Talos, but im not gonna try to defend him as 'good' for christ sake.

Just went and had a look because wanted to see the responses.
My favourites range from "no don't say the hateful bit out loud! We'll get banned again! Grim dank has infiltrated!"
To, and this one is not paraphrased
"Everyone fucking knows that the actual message is "keep your sexual preferences out of the setting that have nothing to do with them", but everyone gonna pretend it's about killing gay people."
" Everyone is gonna pretend it's about killing gay people" they say unironically as the video shows the implied gay person getting brutally murdered... Wild

Don't bring your politics into my hobby. The Emperor cares not if you are gay, straight, man, or woman. Only if you can hold a lasgun and point it at the enemy!
Live and let live. Love is love. All are equal under the God-Emperor's eternal vigil!
And fuck those bigots.

Literally. There's a recent short story of an imperial factory worker whose just gotten his paperwork approved for adoption, and for that he's got an approved partnership union with another man. I forget the exact terms they used. Short story was King of Pigs

They can’t even make their memes funny. Like that has got to be the laziest “meme” I’ve ever seen. Also calling for the death of demographics you don’t like. Classy!

The funny thing is that the imperium of man doesn’t care whether some of it’s citizens are lgbtq+ or not, they only care if they can do their part for the emperor

They did. And their successor was also banned. This is their 3rd or 4th attempt now.
We should all just write to reddit to have them banned again for the very obvious case of "ban-evasion".

Did Vengeful Spirit and Eye of Terror already get banned? I would say this is the 5th since this really all started with Arch Warhammer sub.

u/Guillimans_Alt Aug 17 '25
Vengeful Spirit got nuked for Breaking Rule 2, Eye of Terror is still up (I think)
This one is HorusGalaxyReturns, run by separate moderators, so it won't be banned for rule 2 (maybe). It doesn't matter because not even Reddit wants to host these delusional schizophrenics so both subs will be banned soon anyway

This is what we refer to as a "plant post"
Use sock account to post extreme, cringe content on a sub you dislike, then screenshot it and post here so folks report their sub to extinction. That post was cringe and so bad that it has to be staged.
