Racist? Space Marines aren’t racist. We love all races. As long as they don’t have green skin. Or you know, belong to a different religion. I don’t know why anyone would call us racist. We don’t hate any races.
Except Orks.
And Eldar.
And Dark Eldar.
And Necrons.
And T’au. Because nobody likes dumbass weeaboo space communists.
But at least they don’t try to eat us like the Tyranids.
Interesting article from Polygon on fascism in the 40k universe here: https://www.polygon.com/23414657/warhammer-40k-anti-fascism-space-marines-capitalism-leagues-of-votann-hate
That’s actually a pretty great analysis, even if the writer shies away from outright stating that 40k, like all satires that go on too long, has become an earnest story instead of a critical comedy, which has certain implications when your property started out as being anti-fascist.
Yeah, I thought it was a good read. Glad you enjoyed it.
