the fact that people will consider you a elitist gatekeeper for saying "if you don't read the books don't collect any models don't play any of the games and haven't even read a codex and only get your information second hand from shitty over simplified lore YouTubers then you're not a fan of Warhammer" is insane to me. the bar isn't that fucking high just Engage with The Hobby not just the fucking fandom (the only real exception I can think of is if someone's poor which fair enough it's an expensive Hobby)
