[QUOTE="BrokenTwin, post: 8462746, member: 7017978"] In regards to the "there is no good guy faction in 40K", I remmeber reading about people being upset about the introduction of the Tau specifically because Games Workshop seemed to have introduced an objectively morally superior faction to the game. And even with the mind control, that still remains fairly true. Especially when you look at it with the view that most references to the "mind control pheremones" comes from books written from the Imperium's perspective, which is functionally in-setting propaganda. I also remember them complaining about the Tau being the "anime weeaboo faction", back when liking Japanese cartoons was somehow more socially shameful than playing with little metal and pewter figurines. Which always baffled me, because the Eldar's mechs look a lot more eastern inspired than the Tau's BattleTech mechs. But yeah, everybody who has interacted with the 40K fandom has met at least a one player who either REALLY missed the point of the Imperium or was wholeheartedly for it. [/QUOTE]
