They only people I know who play 40k are obsessed with Orks. Dunno what kind of person that makes them, but at least they aren't nazis.

The lore around 40k Orks is hilarious
If I were a 40k player I would a Necron simp.
That makes them fun
It might be the same phenomenon as bimbofication / puppygirl stuff, where one longs to be released from the responsibility of thinking
Also known as "Waaaaaaagh"
where one longs to be released from the responsibility of thinking
I have plenty of experience there
We got football, pints and coke for that, mate
Wait a minute

I was briefly into 40k in the 00s, but once the 2010s started I slowly started getting an ick feeling from it but I couldn't quite put my finger on it.
specifically, I was still cool with most of the lore, but the Imperium fanboys were getting to be unfun to be around. As I got older and wised up, I figured out around the same time many others did, that these same people just had a fascism fetish in general.
so with all that said.
Death to the false emperor Let the galaxy burn BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD
I played Imps and I still cannot wrap my head around people thinking the empire is the good guy. The appeal to me is that they are normal people pulled into an unfair and cruel world led by people who are entirely indifferent to their suffering. The best IG stories always involve a lot of infighting.
These days I don't really tell people I am into it.
As someone who likes the Space Marines, but hates Nazis and understands that Warhammer 40k is satire, I'm greatly saddened by the Fascism fan boys in the community.
The 80s 40k is satire. That ship sailed long, long ago tho.
Prosper like Tau shall.

It's quite simple really.
If they play the Death Korps of Krieg, who look like 
they're probably really nice people.
The funny thing is that they are closer to soviet ideology then nazi. It's a pitty because if you understand 40k they are the poster boys for how fucked up and insane the galaxy is.
