If everything in 40K is a scale of "Well, how evil is this?", with the Tau at one end under "Well, it's only the Ethereals who are really evil", meeting the Imperium about halfway under "Well, it's either small evils, or annihilation", then the Dark Eldar fight with Chaos for the title of "Evil just for the heck of it" title.

The Dark Eldar actually need to perform their acts of evil for their own survival. This doesn't make those acts any less evil, but it requires them to be just as ruthless as the Imperium is.

It doesn't "require" anything. They do it to extend their own lives preternaturally, lol. They are attempting to remain immortal by consuming the souls of other living things. This isn't like me eating a chicken because I need food, or even the Imperium sacrificing psykers to fuel the Golden Throne.

Interesting digression though...

Unless you're in a desparate survival situation, you don't need to eat a chicken to survive. You eat it because you like the taste, survival is merely a side effect. So your main reason for doing it is pleasure.

Nothing like the DE thing - if they don't take souls they WILL be killed by Slaanesh, and if they don't take enough souls, they'll be so weak they'll be killed by other, stronger DE.

Or they could just cease raping each other, wipe the evil grins off their faces, and put some damned shoes on. What I mean by that, is learn from their Craftworlder brothers and sisters.

When the toturing of sentient beings is compared to eating chicken I know that the time for sensible discussion is past.

...and the time for orifice invasion has arrived.

Yeah, TBH I don't know why this thread hasn't been locked yet. We've had 4 pages of people agreeing that the DE are evil, with the occasional idiotic reason that they could be considered Ok being argued against by anyone with a brain.

The Vampiric, Flesh Forging, Space Elves are the bad guys? But they grow people second spines and help them get ripped!

Get ripped in four weeks, find out how!

I call that time "All day every day, baby!"
