Alphas. Don’t like them. Or blanks. But not as much as alphas.

One peeve, How many different stories have Space Marine heroes bro-fist with filthy Xenos.

And you call yourself a Loyalist...

Homophonic?
do you mean Homophobic right? when and were would that be?
Also why does that seem to trigger you so much?

Yep, obviously meant that but autocorrect exists and clearly sucks.

Get away with the “trigger you” nonsense, save it for 4chan or YouTube comments.

Let’s be perfectly clear. Using gay as a derogatory term isn’t edgy or clever. Homophobic slurs are hateful and pathetic. Don’t perpetuate hatred of others, even through seemingly trivial things. If there’s a choice just don’t choose the hateful option. See also: sexist, racist, etc. Just... don’t.

You ever read about a genocide and wanted to repeat it?

You ever read an offensive joke and repeated it in front of your grandmother by mistake?

That was a terrible strawman to set up. Back on topic I just got reminded about the sensei again. *sigh*

Thanks for fielding that one, ChargerIIC.

I looked up more CS Goto-isms after reading this thread and the bad, it hurts. I remember trying to read Dawn Of War and giving up a few pages in as it was utter dross

OK first off:
Autocorect is questionable and at worst terrible and a nemisis of mine, i just wanted to reassure that this was what you were trying to say.
Secondly: I am not active on either, tends to get circlejerky this day and age way to fast, my question is and was and probably could've been better formulated, something like this: What did get you so riled up?
Thridly: If slurs are your problem, boy you don't have a real problem. Take that from sonebody that got gak on literally all his live (for the record not just slurs but also more then one time physical). At some point you need to realise that not everything that someone makes, every edgy joke is to be taken serious and instead of labeling someone instantly sexist, racist, etc wont do you good.Because this blows issues way out of proportion, meanwhile the real cases of such persons can get away because people get fed up with a issue, since apathy is en vogue atm, in many cases aggresive apathy.

You see humor is subjective and even what you deem as bad Humor or edgy behaviour has a place and time and in many cases is just stuff/jokes/ behaviour/etc. brought over the top to create thought provoking experiences and since in this case we technically have a satire infront of us this is excactly the type of reaction and goal that is supposed to be achieved.Not only that but generally difficult topics are easier to approach for people if humor is involved even at the baseline, that is human psychology 101 literally.
BTW 40 k was in many regards and still is in many regards a satire and mirror for the worst in human society/ ideology, cranked up to 11 and can be quite thought provoking.

BTW this is in no means an attack on you just to make that clear.

Also would you like some multilasers for your space marines?

I fully understand humour is subjective, yet here you are lecturing me as if it isn't and defending intolerance. Strange...

Let's leave it here, eh? If you consider that f****** 'joke' edgy, well, we ain't ever gonna see eye to eye. If you must reply PM me and spare everyone else in the thread.

No one mentioned that magical language that instantly materializes anything you want out of thin air, without using warp at all?

Thankfully only one author ever used it but it still felt dumb and unfitting the setting. Seriously, why bother with webway project when PC randomly combining sounds will make you stronger than the Chaos gods?

Alternatively, Phil Kelly's Tau series definitely qualifies. I see better written fanfiction daily
