It is not only annoying and offensive, but as dangerous as messages promoting homophobia or racism. Haven't you thought anytime maybe any horrible things said about the Spanish empire were only lies by enemy propaganda? The pirates movies tell English corsairs were brave to attack Spanish ships, but in the real world the Spanish ships went together in convoys to avoid those pirates. The most of attacks by pirates were against coast villages to catch slavers. Spain built universities in the new world for the naives, Spain published books about naive American languanges when any European countries hadn't yet done with theirs. We may need humildity and self-criticism to not become monsters, but don't allow be emotinally manipulated apealling the shame and the guilty shame, and less when others should Let's imagine for a second all that look of neogothic art by the space marines was replaced by Russian and Chinese esthetic. Can you notice now the potential menace of the speculative fiction being used as a propagandistic weapon? If some day GW is acquired by a bigger fish, you could bet a restart of the IP to be more.... open-mind and flexible.</blockquote>
