The real good guys of 40K?
It's whatever faction you play, stop being pseudo-intellectual fags and trying to apply morality to my space game. Probably the most asinine imported nonsense discussion ever brought into the online discourse.

Throwing a youtube thumbnail for a video I would never watch at me is a plague on every site, happened at exactly the time monetization blew up, and I report it as advertising every time because if the mods aren't going to do anything about it they should at least have that much more reports to climb over as punishment for not doing anything about it.

That was the point you idiot. It's not even about living in fascism government or whatever, thought Imperium being such disorganized mess with feudal structures can't be fascist in anyreal sense, it's about the fact you will live as slave regardless, with only difference being if you slavemaster has tentacles or hands. If you lived in Imperium, you don't have a choice.

Nu-40K fans are demonstrably lower IQ and less cultured than those who came before. GW, in an effort to cater, has made great strides in dumbing down 40K to the level of Age of Sigmar or Warhammer Fantasy. Horus Heresy was the main vehicle for this and it worked.

The simple act of living and breathing does it, that doesn't really mean much. Like, according to Chaos simps, Stub your toe and get mildly annoyed, congrats you've empowered Khorne. Get an awkward boner looking at a piece of curvy wood, congrats you've empowered Slaanesh. Lay in bed an extra minute, that's Nurgle empowered. Oh, and believing the sun will come tomorrow, bet your bottom dollar that's Tzeentch benefiting.

The imperium sucks, but it was basically a team effort to make the galaxy suck as a whole. The elves fucked Slaneesh into existence by themselves, after all.

If you want to go even further one can claim the imperium is at fault for both the tyranid and necron threat. A loyalist lit up the fucking uhhh tyranid light beam device during the HH and the mechanicus keep waking up dynasties over nothing.
>>96113011
Ok but it's not like the shit the imperium does is tiny itsy bitsy stuff en masse. They run on a war economy, refuse to change because it might piss of corrupt oligarchs, keep their streets dirty and simply don't care about proper healthcare, constantly scheme agains't each other and make piles of propaganda and deceit to keep their system alive. It's not a team effort because most people involved don't have any choice to change their conditions set up by a couple of higher ups on Terra.
That aside, who else in the galaxy is feeding up chaos in the same scale as the imperium? The imperium made it so half the galaxy entered a bloody civil war over having chaos corruptible super soldiers spread through every single corner of the milky way. Necrons sure don't feed the warp, neither do nids, orkz have their own gods who hate the big 4, some nurglite and weird propaganda godess thing are popping up in the tau empire but not nearly to the same strength and the ethereals are just mirroring the imperium's treatment with the gue'la so it's not like they made it worst than the imperium, just not better enough because they think humans are a inferior caste. Minor xenos empires didn't have enough warp influence to fuck the whole galaxy over like the imperium did and you sure as hell don't hear about jokaero falling to the taint of the blood god. The whole point of the eldar birthing slaneesh is kinda stupid because only a minor fraction of schizos within them actually powers her and said fraction is deathly afraid of her coming close to their little webway city. A majority of the bad things in the galaxy is directly or indirectly done by the imperium.

It's not like they're their biggest followers now is it? If slaneesh fed solely off eldar souls as the anti elf argument usually goes eventually she would have eventually stopped, no? If anything the eldar are going out of their way to actually fix the bullshit they cause through effective means. If the eldar created slaneesh, the death watch are at fault for not allowing eldrad to banish him off this realm. The ynnari actually get shit done and are sorry for their mistakes but the imperium has only gotten worst since their big chaos debacle (The horus heresy) and doesn't back down

I'm saying that the premise that "chaos is the imperium's fault" doesn't match the actual text, especially since the Warp existed ages before humanity ever did. Most of its current big-name agents are the Daemon Primarchs to have as a proper "evil" counterpart to the already nasty Imperium, and from a meta perspective of course you're going to build up one of the biggest rivals to humanity to have a human face. But fluff makes it clear the Imperium didn't destabilize the warp into the way it is today, it was already a shitshow ages before the chaos marines squatted their fat asses in it.

It only became a massive shitshow after humans started travelling around the stars during the golden age of humanity and it's stated explicitly it only became a shitshow during the age of strife. Not the imperium's fault but still doesn't stand by HFKfags' delusions. It's just that out of any species in the entire galaxy, out of anything out there, the imperium is the biggest source of power for chaos and that's outright said so. Chaos cults only rise up that often in humanity because of the conditions they have to face on a day to day basis. Chaos cults are a natural thing but the violent and desperate way they are worshipped by slimy masses in hopes of anything better. One could also claim humanity has an inhenrently higher rate of warp taint than any other species in the galaxy.

40k fans that are neither especially new nor especially old - the middle children of the fandom, essentially - have a Napoleon complex about 40k being the wargame that's seen as adolescent and overrated, which just comes with the territory of its popularity and other older wargames being about actual wars that actually mattered. They project this complex into massively overrating the novels because the novels were written to appeal to them, but now people are starting to see the novels and youtube content surrounding their lore as Reddit and these middle-children - needing more than anything to care about and respond to the opinions of others - have to reconcile liking the novels with the novels being Reddit (the option to abandon either or both premises doesn't occur) the significance of whether or not there are "good guys" in 40k will always be wrapped up in all this overly-serious nonsense, but with the advent of troon-tourists being farmed by Arch and the like the question becomes less about what oldhammer was actually like and more about whether or not you see the Imperium as evil and whether or not that means something
>inb4 poltarded
Yeah but it's a noticeable and consistent trend. People are trying to make morality in 40k something that really truly matters in that way because they're either seething troons, or coping with the fact that reading most of the novels was a waste of time.

Technically if any one group is primarily at fault for the Warp being the way it is, it's the Old Ones for fucking up the universe in the first place. The Immaterium always existed, but it was a relatively calm place. It wasn't "the Warp" until they activated their fuck-everything-forever device during the War in Heaven.
