Exactly. Thanks. I did play warhammer a lot in my youth and the amount of fascists who are easily rallied by stuff like this is insane. I remember when we played it was an all white boys loser club and a lot hat very, very bad ideas of race and other nonsense. I wont exclude myself from that as I grew up heavily influenced by nationalist people in my neoghborhood. But I got out and started reading, most dont.
Reading theory is our duty too, as it is introducing others. Just as we got "saved", so can others. Unironically, talking about how bad the universe is in warhammer and how badly people have it there, despite how almost comically exaggerated it is at times, has helped me making people open their eyes to how bad the current world we live in is, and how those methods they so clearly see as bad in warhammer are exact copies of what goes on irl, just with a coat of gothic sci-fi. If Warhammer is the reason people radicalise, so be it
