Ok with seeing you spelling out your opinion very explicitly I probably shouldn't have argued that much. Yeah the satire definitely still exists. I do disagree that it's entirely effective or great satire -a lot of plot elements including the "recently" reintroduced Guilleman make it really difficult to peace apart. But I don't think you would think it's perfect either. And you're right that chuds are basically always only coping by thinking the setting actually fully validates them. I just think the satire could be improved without dumbing it down, and obviously I believe the issue with why it hasn't been improved in these more effective ways is because GW can't really afford to make the cognitive dissonance of their (as you have pointed out relative minority) of miniatures-game players too great when they see the shiny tacticool man game box
