I love characters that are developed out of listening to 12 year olds argue about who the best superhero is.

I thought it was a satire on totalitarianism and the sort of phrases and ideas you see the propaganda machine ascribe to rulers like Kim Jong Il?

WH40K was a rather jokey, beardy satire of Thatcherism, at its inception. Then at some point it became a phenomenon, the Yanks got ahold of it and it became OTT serious enough in that way of theirs for it to be co-opted by pepes.

There’s still a large sense of humour running through 40k, it’s not exactly Discworld, but yeah I can see how a bunch of dweebs would misinterpret it to its own ends. The Imperium is obviously fash, but it’s the high camp, baroque Catholic / neo-Classical aesthetic that is the selling point.

Chaos marines are the true comrades btw

I’m sorry, but I cannot understand why Banksy has just done a painting of the normal House of Commons.
