Corvus Belli Infinity. It's about space age stuff where Islam saves itself by turning to science even though they still praise allah and constantly do terror attacks on other factions, their "invincible wall" is a special kind of med pack that is string based that only they can produce because they are so smart about science. So if anybody attacks their faction head on not only can they hold the line with their effective special med packs but they can also threaten to cut off said special med packs to that other faction. They also look down on everybody else as the Americans are no longer a power player and the Catholics are just deus vult nut jobs.

Trench Pilgrims confirm that Christians who fight and die against the Heretics go to Heaven. Christians get miracles. Christians get to hear the word of God. Christians have multiple Jesus clones that all confirm they're Jesus and aid the Christians in war. Christians get the lion's share of the lore, the fan art, the attention and the purchases.

Christians are by far the most beloved aspect of Trench Crusade, and the developers have said as much when they used their own upbringings to fill the lore with Christian theology and symbolism - theology and symbolism we (as in, me and you) gloss over because we also grew up with it, but now that our countries aren't really Christian anymore, the deeper meaning of what an Anchorite or the significance of 3 and 7 can be lost on people.

There's probably a lot of literature on the topic because Star Wars was a moderately popular franchise, but my two cents is that people derive great pleasure from watching larger-than-life personalities revel in their power. It's the same sort of feeling you get from seeing any great man hold out a hand and ask, "want to join me?"

I kind of wonder how people miss this was almost standard in the 80's, every toyline needed a bad guy part of it, because you need a conflict, and because of that someone is going to need to play as the bad guys. 40k largely goes beyond here because everyone is an over the top personality who is some layer of bad guy, which I have witnessed some people be turned off by because they don't like the idea that they couldn't play as the good guys. Maybe I just don't understand the mindset that much since I was always the kid that chose the Decepticons or the Empire because being the bad guy is fun.

Yeah sure anon tell me again how the Arabs were building rocket ships while Europeans burned books. What do you think you're getting out of this conversation by saying Arabs are hyper-geniuses and all you stupid paleskins need to go back to worshiping some Jew on a stick? Because that's what these conversations always boil down to - Europeans stupid, Arabs smart. Islam beautiful, Christianity ugly. I've seen these debates before and that's how they happen.

So let's get to the meat of the matter and say that people are damn tired of being portrayed as the stupid, parochial brute. Especially when other people are presented as great, wise and cultured. It's that kind of mindset that gets people to obsess over the white-washed aspects of their culture which will, many times, lead them into extremism.

The arab world did give us some important advancements (The word Algebra is a corruption of of the arabic Al jabr which means bonesetting) however its worth keeping mind that this golden age was built of their conquests of formerly Byzantine holdings and the knowledge of greek and roman philosophers, the same thing which people credit as the spark for the renaissance. In short, we all stand on the shoulders of giants.
There is an increasing tendency to exaggerate the Islamic golden age in order to help dispel prejudice arising out of current Islamic culture to the point that it approaches CHRISTIAN DARK AGE levels of absolute delusion.

It's not as bad as it was, honestly. I remember a point in the 2015s where we had articles claiming Islam was actually far kinder to women than Christianity, and presented one or two female Muslim poets from the 1100s as evidence. Most of the "Islam is amazing" content came from the madness of that late-2010s era.

The Caliphate should be given credit for preserving ancient knowledge (and expanding on it) in the same way Northumbrians were given credit for effectively maintaining civilization in Northern Europe. It's important and their contribution is valued, but insisting it was the defining quality of the Caliphate is patronizing. Just like Europeans are constantly whipped to think about the sour sides of their history, the Caliphate should be allowed to get criticized for their excesses as well.

It's like, the Ottoman Empire was pretty cool for being big and wealthy but kidnapping/buying Christian boys so they can be turned into zealots high on "zeal of the convert" and set loose on their former family to terrorize them is something that still needs to be discussed. Muslims aren't saints, and the media has become incredibly eager to depict them as such.

Like, I need to emphasize that the Caliphate fucked the Persians. Hard. They were seen as heathens, and Zoroastrianism was ruthlessly stamped out over a period of centuries. Christians did the same thing with Hellenism once they got into power, but anyone here who's lived in Western civilization knows which one is given more of a critical view.

And don't even get me started on the Jizya tax, which so much praise has been given over how it's some perfect presentation of tolerance during an intolerant time, and how it's a sign that Islam is a truly great religion while Christians are just mean old freaks. People were economically and socially pushed to convert, and while "people of the book" were technically given fair representation under law the sheer volume of venom that everyone under the Ottomans felt towards their "just" masters suggests the de jure wasn't de facto.

The post says "space fascism destroyed itself" which is past tense and claims the "human factions that arose afterwards have explicitly progressive values". So my understanding is that if that game includes a space monarchy it'll be alien/robot which is ironic given that they're dehumanizing their political opponents.

It would, and the consistent avoidance of portraying what is an obviously compelling setting should be brought up. I've seen game groups play, "collapsing Empire with factions bickering for power" before, but it's hard to find companies who do it. Even Disney avoided this with Star Wars when the EU explored the matter thoroughly.

For fiction, the collectivist military regimes that will do anything to win including over the top methods of wave tactics while shouting problematic slogans and doing a salute are typically far more fun to role play as and get cool stuff to talk about, and role playing and having cool stuff to talk about is a very effective way to get people invested in a setting. Its a sad modern thing that making and liking certain fictional things means you actually support those things in real life and want to enact them.

Look at the videogmae Starfield for an example of a progressive sci fi with no space hitlers or "evil" factions, its fucking boring. Is it a progressive liveable setting that wouldnt be terribly bad to live in? Yes. But wheres the conflict for a game. Wheres the cool stuff with guys wearing cool armour fighting other guys in cool armour as one side fights to impose their will over another and both sides have to escalte to get their way and fans argue about which side is right and which side has done cooler stuff.

Part of it is also that the good guys often look incredibly lame or lack any sense of flaws or aesthetic.
When you play as the Empire, you get cool armor and sick looking spaceships, you get moral conundrums but also slogans to shout. Compare that to the Rebellion where the soldiers look dorky, the only cool ship is the X-Wing, and the characters generally look lame. I recall a quote along the lines of people caring less about whether a character is good or bad and more about whether they are interesting, and this rings true for factions.

It's a shame too since good guys can still look cool. The Clone Troopers from Star Wars are beloved, because despite being the good guys who fight for the Republic and should seem lame, they get spiffy armor and awesome moments. Frankly, if creators want people to side with their Good Guy Faction then they should invest less in making them philosophically sound and more in making them badass.

Clone troopers are kinda cheating because they are just stormtrooper prototypes, and before the 3D Clone Wars show, they also were unironically evil fuckers who basically knew the whole time that sooner or later they would gun down their Jedi leaders.

It would be interesting but I doubt anything would come of it because of who's making it. Adam Something makes solid videos on trains and cities but his takes on topics beyond that are rancid dogshit. He completely misses the point of 40k and colors the whole setting as fascistic, with contradictory statements of "the games should emphasize more that you're the Bad Guy as a space marine" and "anyone who would want to be the Bad Guy space marine belongs in a psych ward" (paraphrasing). If he just did a video on some right-wing grifters who use 40k as a vehicle for their bullshit, it'd have gone over far better. Instead he basically wrote off an entire setting and fanbase as braindead proto-fascists, which if anything speaks to his inability to separate fiction from reality.

He's the sort of person to get mad that people play Call of Duty because it "glorifies war".

I think it's a good reason why Andor is as popular as it is compared to other rebellion focused stuff in the disney era, because it actually shows the rebellion being more than just "the good guys" and tackles the actual difficulties and moral issues that arise from an insurrection.

They're just one example, plenty of people love Paladins in DnD or Halo Spartans, and to use another Star Wars example Andor made the Rebellion actually seem cool. Again it's a matter of aesthetic and in this aspect people miss the point,
>>96251472
Essentially. You also see this with New Vegas, people side with the NCR more than the Legion because the Rangers look badass. Aesthetic is just as important to convincing people to enjoy things as substance: regardless of whether people agree with the faction, they would rather have one that looks cool and has potential for good writing.

It's interesting that the Legion is so widely and instantly recognized as evil fucktards, unlike many other "totally bringing law and order" evil factions. I wonder what they do differently that makes it work?

The Legion was competing with a lot of better aesthetics. Not just NCR Rangers but the Brotherhood of Steel, and the Enclave. The NCR gets a major buff for being incredibly palatable to a modern audience politically speaking, and having really cool armor. Brotherhood of Steel will always have fans because they are THE fallout faction. And if you want to be the "I love being the bad guys" fellow the Enclave is right there are demonstratable far worse than the Legion in many ways while also looking cooler. It does lead to the funny situation where the Legion is almost always supported by contrarians or by people who are just trying to get a rise out of someone online.

Maybe has something to do with how the very first encounter you have with them is a mass crucifixion in a burning town, and all the "law and order" justification comes afterwards

They just don't look that cool anon. That's basically it. Sure their philosophy sucks too but players (left, right or nonpolitical) largely care less about that and more about how a character looks. People play Space Marines and shout HERESY despite the faction being fucked up because they look awesome.
Another Fallout example is the Enclave. Ignoring the numerous other issues with the Fallout Frontier mod, one was that the devs shut down any ideas of playing the Enclave because they couldn't believe anyone would want to play the evil fascists (unless those players were themselves fascists).
In reality, people will play factions that literally bomb orphanages and kick puppies if those factions have spiffy powersuits and cool slogans. Almost no one who wants to play the Enclave believes in their retarded ideology, but it's insanely fun to scream DIE MUTIE and fire a plasma rifle while decked out in power armor.

Which was still extra funny because you could still side with the Legion. Like yeah you can't side with the genocidal guys in power armor, but you sure as hell can side with the slavers who crucify people. It always felt like an odd stance to take.

Counterpoint: compare the US West Coast to the US East Coast in Fallout. The Enclave is perfectly justified to wipe out the East Coast so that whatever fucking turboautism they have doesn't spread any further.

If I had to guess, it hits a little too close to home for the suits. Multiple factions of competing rich people and ideological standpoints hits a lot closer to home than an evil empire and a good rebellion. The latter of which is perfect wish fulfillment for consumers. To put it simply:

Pillage is my new friend. Cant wait for people to hop on that and start calling it woke when the creator declares they dont give a fucking about politics too. Happened with Turnip aswell for fuck sake. I unsubbed from Arch over this shit, his hypocrisy towards TC and Helldivers as being "woke" and "THE CREATORS HAAAATE YOU" without pointing to anything woke in game was just wierd, like it found success without him and he wants it to fail because of that so he can say "look, it failed because I didnt support it, all you had to do was bend the knee" exactly like how the troons would do it. Im sick of political pandering in any form, these people are insufferable.. Like how do you come out in defence of Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 and have to argue with your own fans about that position, then make a mission of denouncing and tearing down TC for something it DIDNT do and you only percieve to have done lol.

It was incredible to watch the hype around this thing die. Just face plant after face plant after face plant from the brain dead devs who had zero idea how to handle the momentum they gained. At every turn they managed to make the worst decisions and now they're left hoping they can at least sell the IP off and pray it at least puts them above zero.
I'd call it sad, but that would imply I have any sympathy for them.

Yeah, and in most ways the NCR is objectively worse. They're as tyrannical, but you actually find NPCs who point out that life under them just gets shittier by the year and that law and order practically don't exist and the NCR is just a system for stealing from people via taxes, while the few Legion-citizens point out that it's pretty steady and is an improvement over the barely surviving scattered tribes everyone used to have.

Good examples are how the NCR handles the locals in New Vegas. They're completely uninterested in them unless there's a profit to be made and will happily murder entire towns of tax payers if it's conducive to their short term goals.

The funny thing about Lancer's Union is that it's far closer to the Terran Federation or pre-Covenant UNSC in operation than it is to the UFP, but it hides behind a veneer of commieboo paint and the average discord fag eats it up, ignoring that all the heckin' evil corporations are what drives politics and decides who gets what in an ostensibly progressive post-scarcity society.
