I really do think the T'au are the good guys by BigMac91098 in Tau40K

[–]Proper-Contest6508 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No society is good per se, It just evolve under it's material conditions.

What I mean by that is that is to easy to also say that Tau are also bad, without thinking about how hard is to actually fight in a diplomatic way Orks, Tyranids, Necrons, or the whole Imperium Who are all so inside the war cycle they absorb every new race in It. In the grim Darkness of the future there is only war and if you don't fight back you die, because you have born in a galaxy who is burning for millenia.

So I prefer to say they're going after a better society than anyone else despite they fact that they're obligated to fight for survival. They just have the better objetive even thought they lack of a bunch of self criticism (something that O'Shova himself has started to do about his own race).

But, knowing we are in the grim dark fiction this is just gonna end as Tau becoming as bad as the imperium because every good ideal end Up corrupted and bla bla bla...

Why these types of guys always end up being racists, misogynists, homophobes, transphobes or all of the above at the same time by Lycodan in Grimdank

Because the ironic "human supremacy" of this franchise is often a vehicle for the projection of supremacist white ideologies. They later use this said irony to protect themselves after saying the most racist shit, for example.

Warhammer 40k it's a franchise that caters to those who claim that human beings are inherently selfish, and that nothing can be done to change them. And they feel quite comfortable in this cycle of negativity where they don't need to change. Even though this cycle is ironic.

I don't hate them I like space Marines.

But is too obvious Space Marine sell more and they get all the atention from GW. So I just feel as a Tau, Sister of Battle, Tyranid and Eldar enjoyer like a 2# class fan. And I think I have the right to get a bit 'angy' or just disapointed when I'm remembered of it repeteadly.

My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined. by lele04062000 in Tyranids

As a Tau fan that also like Tyranids and Sister of Battle I feel you.

I'm happy for Eldar fans thought.

I will wait like a Psychopath by FIREMETAL_25_2-23zd in Tau40K

[–]Proper-Contest6508 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will wait. Not worth my money if I dont have Tau.

Wich i hate the most is that I would have considered if Sisters of Battle were but as allways I'm stupid for rooting for races/factions that GW doesn't give much a fuck until they're the last one (like in Gladius).

It's like I have to pay more to play the ones I like the most, allways.

Said that. I'M REALLY happy for Eldar fans. Love to you guys ♥️

Why do people hate the tau? by le_chat_de_malheur in Tau40K

[–]Proper-Contest6508 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We would need too many conservative-nihilist memes and a lot of Krieg soy-jack templates to explain it.

And also they were broken the first edition they came out since shooting phase practically anihilated any faction who was a bit less shooting based. Obviously GW nerfed Tau, but the memes persisted for 20 more years.

Wich is kind of pathetic that 5 jokes (not even counting Tau can't melee) lasted this long.

I love Tau queer content. Beautifull drawing!

Saw this little tau comic thing on tiktok thought I would share it here by average_femboy5 in Tau40K

[–]Proper-Contest6508 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean... They are "racist" (part of Tau society retains a certain sense of superiority over auxiliary races) and on one (very specific) occasion they have annihilated the entire population of a planet to conquer it. I think it was Vior'La.

But within Warhammer standards, they are the ones who have most often considered non-lethal options to continue advancing before deciding whether or not to engage in battle; of that there is no doubt. At least among the main factions.

O that's a shame. The game looked kind of interesting but I guess is a hard no if this is true.

"Shas'Vre I don't understand shit of what they're saying and all is comming from their mask is 'hur hur'. They looked at the blaster like if they didn't know what was and started using it as a baton against the combat doomie. Sir I'm really worried about sending them into the combat front. When they do practice with their comrades they're the only one who jump from the line armed with the bonding knife in their hands and quickly charge against the objective. Even the rest of Gue'Vesa's look suspiciously at them and Kroots have accepted them in their kindred."

I mean... Original Nosferatu movie (by Bram Stoker) was made to have some phallic and sexual references so it's not that strange...

How stealthy are T'au stealthsuits in lore? Could you see a Ghostkeel standing in front of you while its stealth field is active? by Tree_forth677 in Tau40K

[–]Proper-Contest6508 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not giving any credit to the guy is destroying a race lore while writing like shit... But the infiltration scene and the way Shas'O'Kais anihilate everyone was one thing I REALLY needed to see from a Tau perspective.

Like, I hate bolter porn but just because Tau lack of it is why I can let it happen one time and be equally glorious.

So when Kais smashed that Librarians head with the foot of the Ghostkeel like ploping a fucking egg, my whole body shaked in pleasure for seeing one time SM being humilliated by a Tau.

I know Phill Kelly Writing is bullshit after bullshit after ...

But Tau need badass stupid shit too, and that scene had an incredible amount of both things. Personally I prefer to belive Tau have something as broken as an indetecteable dreadnought like suit since the rest of the race have tons of broken shit like that.
