You have to stop thinking of the tau as blue people with hooves. They are not human, and thus it is doubtful they even think like we do. And anyhow, who cares if Pheromones, or mind control or even wizards were involved. None of those things are good reasons to hate a whole race....

Honestly, I like the tau cos' they are so different. They are not a fantasy cliché(at least none that i can think of) and get alot of hate due to the fact people haven't seen anything like them before. Oh yeah, and they have robot suits.... which are to Asian when compared to the other races robot suits.

Anime robot suits....yes.....how crazy original.

They provide more alien variety in a universe that is quite lacking in that regard, no need to be a jerk about it

Bossasaurus wrote:@KamikazeCanuck The suits are anime(to an extent). Thats what i was implying. They are not incredibly anime, just they are high tech mechanical exo suits. Unfortunately, we tend to only see these suits in anime so thus the 'tau were made for anime fanboys' line. Japanese influences are present in the tau, so 'mecha' seem somewhat logical.

Don't put words in my mouth. Retribution said "people haven't seen anything like them before." to which I'm replying yes actually we have. Anime has been known to have a robot suit or two.
