Rick Priestley creator of warhammer 40K in almost every major contributor said repeatedly it's not satire it is a game setting for selling little toy soldiers
"To me the background to 40K was always intended to be ironic. The fact that the Space Marines were lauded as heroes within Games Workshop always amused me, because they're brutal, but they're also completely self-deceiving. The whole idea of the Emperor is that you don't know whether he's alive or dead. The whole Imperium might be running on superstition. There's no guarantee that the Emperor is anything other than a corpse with a residual mental ability to direct spacecraft. It's got some parallels with religious beliefs and principles, and I think a lot of that got missed and overwritten."
Rick Priestley, Warhammer 40K lore author and creator, in a December 2015 interview with Unplugged Games
death of the author is ******** and anyone who provides that talking point needs to have their head checked with the 45
Death of the author is older than you think. Again, I refer to the Watchmen example where Rorschach is applauded as a true hero by the fans even though the author, Alan Moore, thinks he's an unhinged loony.
Hell, you even had pagan hippie fans of JRR Tolkien's Lord of the Rings who thought that the Valar and Maiar were gods instead of angels of God, the latter interpretation being Tolkien's.
Then you had Imperial fans from the Star Wars fandom who would justify every crime the Empire commits, even though George Lucas sees the Empire as evil.
There's also the fans of the Starship Trooper movie that think the Federation is wholesome and good, as opposed to the intended message that they're indoctrinating people to fight a war they can't win.
It's funny that Breadtube hates people who cosplay as fascists when that's just "death of the author" talking.
5. How do this people expect these massive changes to happen, like they demand for such overarching changes that ignore factors like race, religion and territorial disputes that realistically would never happen.
Adam is a skeptic. He couldn't give less of a shit about such things.
6. Turning the eu into a “singe nation” will just cause a fucking civil war within the eu, could you imagine what would happen if the eu parliament came out an said” oh yeah we are becoming a single country” the untold amounts of violence and war would be larger than ww2
My point exactly. That was when I figured out that Adam was completely ignorant of the political realities of the situation, of how there's still bad blood between European nations.
