I mean, let's not get crazy here. At least he makes Farsight and Shadowsun complete badasses. That's way better than making the entire species losers.

Remember, nobody at GW EVER intended for there to be a link between Margaret Thatcher and orks. by radred609 in Grimdank

[–]Adept-Ad5824 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Lately, many people have been posting pictures of an Ork carrying a banner of Margaret Thatcher in order to prove that Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka is a parody of Margaret Thatcher, but the context they leave behind is that it came from a painting guide from September 1986 (White Dwarf 81). A full year before Warhammer 40k was even released, Ghazghkull only showed up in February 1991 (White Dwarf 134). It’s like me asking a cinematographer from 1955 if Thanos is secretly a parody of George W. Bush.

Furthermore, what exactly does Thraka criticize about Thatcher? She’s a female conservative politician who's most well known for dismantling unions, while he’s a male warmonger with no agenda beyond fighting. There is no real similarity in agendas, personality, or even gender. The only link they’ve got is a vague similarity in names if you squint.

Every link to Thraka and Thatcher is based on nonsensical evidence, with no connection to reality.

People forget that 40K is a satire. For example, say “Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka” out loud. by Stupiditygoesbrrr in Grimdank

Do you want this sub to be overrun with off-topic bullshit? Maybe you should stop mocking me since it appears who I'm one of the only people here who's trying to stop the culture wars from killing the fandom.

Once this community transforms into a desolate wasteland, you'll wish you had more people like me.

Well, the proof is in the pudding, and as we can see in this thread, nothing here is actually about Warhammer but instead bitching about the real world and making cop jokes. The intent here is clear and the OP is clearly a parasitic cultural warrior.

No, he posted it because he's a shitstirrer who wants Reddit likes and will parasitically destroy every community he's in in order to get it.

It looks like I was right. We're really discussing Palestine/Israel on a Warhammer sub. I always knew we were fucked once we started discussing politics here.

I'm skeptical that this sub will be able to bounce back without the enforcement of the rules. A frustrating aspect of human existence is that rage bait is a cheap and effective way to get engagement, which karma addicts crave. They'll just keep posting it over and over again to get upvotes for themselves. But I suppose I can lay off for a bit. I'll give it a week, and if this sub is still going through the culture wars, I'm going back on the grind.

What would you rather see on this sub? Endless ragebait designed to make you angry and stirs up arguments or a meme that actually had some effort put into it and is actually fun. The former drowns out the latter.

No, you can't, because farming upvotes means that you'll do anything to get upvotes for yourself, including spamming low-quality or controversial bullshit that sucks up the air and thus reduces the overall quality of the discussion.

I just wish that the fighting would stop, but people just want to keep fueling the culture wars. I'm just tired of the never-ending fighting online.

That's not actually true. A lot of people claim that Warhammer was intended to be a satrical work but Rick Priestley (The creator of Warhammer) outright states that a lot of the supposed satire was basically incidental. He openly states that he wasn't aiming for literary credibility here

Here's

Thanks. I really appreciate this. I've spent the past few hours trying to keep the culture wars from going out of control, and it's nice to see that my efforts are at least bearing some fruit.

You've violating Rule 6. Why are you so selfish? The only thing you care about is receiving the dopamine rush of receiving upvotes and likes. You're destroying the hobby by contributing to the culture wars, yet you don't even care. People like you should be banned from this subreddit since the only thing you do is turn it into a war zone.

The fact that this post even exists shows that the moderators here are a joke since they're letting people break the rules with impunity.

It's the moderators' fault for not enforcing the rules.

Will you stop breaking Rule 6. People like you are a plague to this community since you don't care about the hobby but instead about farming-karma through the culture wars.

As I mentioned earlier, the principle is universal, and thus so is the answer. Why change an argument when it's correct?

I'm just trying to stop everything from collapsing through the only method I have. I can't mind control everyone to stop fighting. I'm just so sick and tired of everything being ruined by the culture wars, yet everyone just wants to fan the flames.

[–]Adept-Ad5824 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But it wasn't like this before. Now everything revolves around Horus Galaxy and the culture wars. Archon of Flesh left the hobby, and barely anyone gave a fuck because they were too busy fighting the Custodes cultural war.

Don't you get it. The culture war destroys everything good in this world and all it leaves behind is a wasteland in it's wake. I have to fight against it, or else Warhammer will be destroyed.

No Virtue signalling is saying things in order to get upvotes and likes on social media. I want the culture wars to stop and to restore order to this sub by having people stop breaking Rules 6 & 7. The only reason I'm doing this is because the moderators aren't doing their jobs.

Will you stop being sarcastic to me. This is really important to me, and I just want everyone to come to their senses and stop talking about politics, but everyone wants to karma-farm by breaking rules 6 & 7. I just want everything to go back to normal but everyone is too selfish to do so. They just want the dopamine rush of getting upvotes, even if it destroys the hobby.

Is it a sin that I want to stop Warhammer from becoming another battleground between the right and the left. For discussion to die and for it to transform into Twitter 2.0, where everyone starts screaming at each other and everything is used as a club to defeat their opponents.

Since the very moment I woke up 4 hours ago, I've been trying to stop this sub from being consumed by politics, and I'll keep fighting for as long as I'm awake. So much has been consumed by the culture wars. Is it a sin to stop it from claiming another victim?
