Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Told my W40k nerd coworker that if I was born a human in that universe I'd try and defect to the Tau. He said: "so you'd rather be a house cat than a lion?" (hexbear.net)

Lion? If you're a human in 40k you're more likely to be a mangy street cat forced to work in a factory processing other cats into fancy feast. Fuck yeah I'll be the Taus little pet over that, I can work in at a space turnip farm or something, maybe they'll give me little human treats.

i tend to see them as a deeply flawed federation due to space wizard fuckery (Imagine if Q wanted to collect blood for the blood god) that still tries their best.

i have a proxy where a tau fire squad is being lead by an auxiliary with a picard head picard-pointing he also has worf with a batleth cause one of the heroes has a knife or something. i imagine the enterprise would immediately join the tau or maybe aeldari to try to find a way back home and tbh if theyre gonna throw trek into the dumps with nutrek they may as well do a silly crossover like this

That's awesome.

Personaly having T'au Etheral only high-leadership precludes them from being a federation analogue, imo the Interex and Disporex were much closer to the federation, shame they where just fodder to show the downsides of Emp's xenophobic vision during the Great Crusade
