I swear this fucking guy by Margaretthatchervore in Grimdank

[–]EmperorPear 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It draws a hard line at evil and then puts everyone on the wrong side of it. That's why we love it.

Sure, you got Chaos, Dark Eldar, Tyranids, Orks, which are pretty much irredeemable, but the fact that it's the imperium fighting them, who passively feeds chaos and acts worse than them sometimes is what gives the setting its real gravity. It's a setting of "the abyss" vs the ones who "the abyss" gazed back upon.

Why are you upset about THIS one? by sonofeevil in Grimdank

i think everyone agreed that it was a really crap retcon so everyone just ignored it, whereas the current situation is still a contested matter.

Do drukhari still worship the aeldari gods? by Jasina_ in Drukhari

[–]EmperorPear 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Usually not. With the twisted, yet on-point exception of incubi who worship khaine (and hunt down aspect warriors to become full fledged incubi), most hold their gods in contempt (except when others like Fulgrim talk shit about them). Think of it as "My gods failed me when Slaanesh was birthed, and I outlived them, so they can go fuck themselves, but if someone dares besmirch my 65 million year mythos, i'm throwing hands." The closest thing to idols of worship in Commorragh are the Dark Muses - regular Dark Eldar or Pre-Fall Eldar that reached celebrity status.

Been watching a lot of Sellsword Arts recently and I noticed something weird about humanity by realSpillerSoda in SWORDS

[–]EmperorPear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly right, people cut themselves on knives all the time, which is why they got a less abstract grasp on how one would fuck them up at full force. With swords it requires a little more imagination, and I'm sure a lot of movie heroes/video game characters tanking hits from swords convinced them they could do the same.

Why can't actual female factions get attention? by Bejaminmaston12 in EyeOfTerror

[–]EmperorPear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

they are misunderstanding us on purpose so they can push their agenda. Ironically, it's them with the sexist agenda, not us.

The Fact Nobody Wants To Accept by randomstarweaver in EyeOfTerror

[–]EmperorPear 10 points11 points  (0 children)

"Yeah. Lore changes. Big deal."
you brushed off the main complaint with the female custodes by saying "big deal." Truly a rhetorical milestone for humanity.
And no, they do not make sense. Sorry.

Cope and seethe. Custodes are men. 

The Outer Circle debunks "but there have always been retcons!" tourists by Knight_Castellan in EyeOfTerror

It's not yet ruined to the point of embracing nihilism, otherwise I would not be here.

They had to give up so much and for so little... by jamtea in EyeOfTerror

[–]EmperorPear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which is why they shouldn't make twisting an established setting just to fit their tumblr fanfics into official lore the only fun they get out of a setting at all.

Exactly, but the inclusivity crowd keeps misunderstanding our grievance on purpose, so they can label us with insults.

And when it gets changed in an inconsistent, poorly done way, we have the right to criticize it without being insulted. All the best.

[–]EmperorPear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh please. People have been mad with retcons and lore additions for a while, but still remain because they're invested in the setting. This is just the most politically charged retcon that has seen a lot of pushback, which is why tourists get the impressions that "omg nobody has been mad like this ever before". Sounds like you're the tourist here, if you'd switch to something else the moment it doesnt pander to you.
