Why are their fans so defensive?
You bring up 1 minor complaint about the looks of the figures or factions or any other complaint and you immediately have 10 of them telling you how good it actually is (and so much better than fantasy even if you havent played or cared about fantasy) and that only the first edition was bad.
What makes somebody like this?

They're basically equivalent to scabs who showed up during a labour dispute. They will always carry a sense of shame and inadequacy.

At one point or another every AoS player individually made the decision to join a game/world with awful, simplified rules and thin, corporate lore. That in itself proves they lack discernment. They freely chose to spend their time and thought on a pastime that completely lacks any enduring quality. It will not be remembered except in terms of nostalgia. It will not be imitated or taken as an influence by any worthwhile creative of the future. It's a dead end and a waste of time and mind and life.

Because there have been 10 years of slide threads allowed by the Polish former mod of /tg/, whose actions were shown in the 4chan leak earlier this year.

It wasn't organic, it was specifically other Poles coordinating shitposting slide threads specifically because they wanted to kill /tg/, full stop.

I don't give a shit if people like or hate aos, but it became the weapon of the disgusting niggers who were trying to murder this board for having the audacity to like things they didn't like. D&D, MTG, Warhammer, it didn't matter.

Per usual, Eastern Europeans ruined everything and are still trying, as this threads existence proves. All of these threads are made during continental European prime time.

They are deeply insecure because despite being a better skirmish wargame than modern 40k, they are vastly less popular and cool. Conversely, depsite having less players in general, the WHFB secondary stuff (games, lore, and memes) are far more popular to the point the /aosg/ is mostly just posting WHFB fan art and memes. This has been supercharged by TOW doing surprisingly well, so the foundational myth that "WHFB is inherently bad and it needed rebooting" has been shattered.
They are being crushed from above and below, and the sad state of 4e further exacerbated that.

I'm going to do some earnestposting here. Mock away.

We bought into this new game expecting support. Instead we get scraps for the past few years, some characters and now the Helsmith range.

Meanwhile GW brings out TOW and reassigns multiple AOS factions to it like Beasts of Chaos. I've never once seem anyone playing it at my LGS but GW seems to take orders from its aging fanbase for some reason. The Cathay release felt like a slap in the face, since it looks like the Cities of Sigmar army but you can tell GW actually put some love into the sculpts.

Have some human empathy and imagine if GW just stopped making 30K releases after Age of Darkness came out or just straight up got rid of Primaris marines and started making 2000's era Space Marines again with rules based on older editions.

It's like a woman who steals another woman's husband and then worries he will leave her too. It's a relationship of insecurity because she knows he's the kind of man who will abandon her when he finds a younger, prettier woman, because that's how she married him in the first place. Just like AoS fans (homewrecking hussies) know that GW is willing to brutally kill off their own properties if they fail to keep pace with expectations because that's how they got AoS.

The lore is so bad that the primary use of the whole games existence is to get old world minis from the rebranded ex old-world factions.

One exception here is flesh eater courts. Done to death as an opinion but they're such a good, clean and evocative concept they should be promoted to existing in the old world. Don't know what went wrong at GW HQ that they accidentally made a good concept for an Age of Sigmar faction, but I'm sure someone got fired over it.

You losers like to attempt revisionist history and pretend you were an important or significant cohort of those games but you weren't. The weird goths and punks and pierced 90's freaks mostly trended lefty. The designers and artists, pro and amateur, mostly trended lefty.

There was definitely a small group of pasty bespeckled trogs with an "interest in military history" (Star Wars uniforms) around, but they weren't creative, they didn't grow gaming communities or interact with them much, they weren't buying much.

It's because deep down they know that their setting is a failure. Outside their playerbase, no one thinks it is cool or interesting. You have an entire secondary ecosystem with Warhammer Fantasy lore videos getting hundreds of thousands of views alongside 40k lore videos, but despite a decade of mainstream corporate pushing no one cares about the setting or lore of AoS outside the playerbase ( understandably because it is shit ). Deep down they know that most people think their chosen game/setting is ass, and this causes them to become very defensive and angry whenever anyone criticizes any aspect of AoS. Even resorting to fantastical conspiracy theories like the guys pushing the Polish conspiracy to destroy /tg/ ( by insulting AoS lmao ).

Which is a terrible thing. You know secondarys and tertiaries are frequently despised along with talentless wiki-reading "loretubers"? They're seen by many tabletop players as invasive or shoving ill-informed headcanon onto their tabletop while contributing nothing to the actual game besides hot air. The vast majority will never buy minis, and if they do they'd never paint them so we'd get a badly assembled greytide army with the shittiest of recycled opinions some Youtuber fed them. If AoS has few of those then they're lucky.

I like AOS but anyone who plays it or enjoys the lore knows it's the third tier universe for Warhammer. 40k is first and even though it didn't have a table top game till recently Fantasy is second, AOS is late to that party. There's also that worry that if people don't like AOS the game will get squatted. Obviously anyone that likes the game can enjoy it on it's own merits whether or not GW supports it but for a lot of people this isn't enough and they need to have constant official support for their product.

The issue with AoS people aren't realizing is not that the setting is bad, but that it outright doesn't even fucking exist.
There's nothing to even talk about or read into for Age of Sigmar's world, they have done zero worldbuilding outside of naming the realms and throwing a few maps out with no text about what or how any of these locations work. The primary issue is that AoS is trying to riff off what 40kfags like, such as big named heroes and horus heresy tier shit, but GW failed to actually make a setting for them to fight over first. 95% of Age of Sigmar "lore" is

Back in 2015 GW killed Fantasy and launched AOS. Even though Fantasy had no table top game it was still more popular amongst people due to the fact there were still video games being made with the property.

Not that anyone here cares but they're not infinite. They're not even that big either, as they supposedly ""only"" 'take a lifetime to cross'. Aside from that, while the realms are relatively stable and normal near the centre, as you veer out towards the edges they get more satiated with the respective realms' attributes, making them practically unliveable. The edge of hysh is so bright it could blind the literal god of light, the outer edges of ghyran will have you trapped in a permanent hellish cycle of pregnancy and giving birth, shit like that. The main conflicts of the setting take place within this habitable zone surrounding the centre. For all intents and purposes aos basically takes place in a solar system with 8 planets.

No, I wouldn't because GW lore in general is heavily flawed and retconning itself 24/7. Lore is temporary and minis are average at best. And secondaries don't even have minis. The hobby doesn't need secondaries.

Pffftt, excuse me, spamming over and over again the same "uugggh, this model is a woman. This dwarf is tanned so WOKE. This model is not a copy-paste of this 50 years old lead ugly miniature i have. So overdesigned. Its not warhammer enough. I dont like it, it flops. Etc" in every thread is not a minor complaint.
Stop acting victim. You are insufferable trolls with no life, no miniatures and a lot of free time who think carry the truth like a fucking giant torch.

It's a flawed game/setting that's built on the corpse of something that's regarded as superior in pretty much all ways other than how much money it made James Workshop (at least as a miniature title). It's very rare to show public like for AoS without your taste being judged for said reasons. Its fans thusly assume any critique they see is coming from a place they ultimately can't hope to argue against or change. Hence they get defensive and automatically default to bad faith tactics.

Why exactly they've chosen this approach to having a bad reputation, rather than ignoring it in favor of quietly enjoying AoS and doing their own thing, might be because of those flaws making it hard to enjoy without seeking communal approval, and anything threatening that is a big problem in their minds. It might be that its fans are just more neurotic than is normal.

The only AoS player I know insists that the game is amazing because it's newer and thus has more up to date game design, though he couldn't actually say what specific parts were better. He also refused to even try battletech because the rules "Haven't been updated in 40 years."

>Which is a terrible thing.
It's annoying if you want to have discussions about something and a secondary who doesn't really understand it comes along to spout shit off.

Otherwise? It just demonstrates popularity, which draws in primaries. It also shows that Something about 40k and Fantasy make both able to resonate with pretty broad audiences, to the point where people with no financial investment and no community investment feel interest and are drawn to it. AoS lacks that Something.

Which is why it sucks. Blank canvases are attractive to artists, but most people aren't artists and don't care to become one, and most artists will want a better canvas anyways.

This is reflected with how 40k and Fantasy became their most popular through the ideas they actually put out there. People won't listen if you yell at them to come make up cool stuff, they wanna see the cool stuff you've already made and are offering to them.

That something is a world with stakes and interesting worldbuilding. AoS feels like a random assortment of corporate ideas smushed together into one game to sell wacky models that often don’t look like they are from the same setting, and it feels that way because that is what it is. AoS is a world designed by marketing grads. Whereas Fantasy and 40k are worlds designed by archeology and history grads.

Just tossing my two cents, I think AoS has some of the best looking models GW has put out. I think 3.0 felt alot better to play than 9/10e of 40k. The armies felt balanced and more distinct than 40k. I think the lore is fine. It leaves room for /yourdudes/ but the mortal realms themselves are lackluster. I never got into Fantasy since it was dead when I started hobbying and the Old World community is nonexistent in my area so I can’t say if it’s the better game or not. Fantasy definitely has better lore and I do prefer the aesthetics of Bretonia and the Empire over Stormcast and Cities.

>AoS players never belittle WFB.
The few people still playing WFB are the most unwashed 40+ year old neckbeard grognards living in their mom's basement while AoS player are mostly regular if somewhat nerdy zoomers with a life. AoS players simply aren't as obsessed with their action figures as the WFB grognards who made it their identity are. Fast forward 15-20 years and it will be same with some new line being the new AoS and only the new generation of unwashed contrarian neckbeards clinging to old one.
