No Mutants Allowed

Warhammer in all iterations is gay, and it's a shitty xerox job of every popular sci-fi/fantasy setting in the cultural sphere. It is even worse now because instead of a group of hack nerds running the show, it's a group of hack tranny-geeks running the show.

I just don’t like that they added female Astartes. That kinda defeats the themes of brotherhood, and renders the entire Horus Heresy and its overarching themes of Pat/fratricide a lot less impactful.

Imagine taking all your major elements from other stories and still being shit.

I don’t even know WH40K shit. Just don’t ever get the Xerox complaints. Everyone uses that.

Because it's a valid criticism, it's one thing to take ideas from other works but Warhammer never brought anything new to the table with its narrative or games.

From what I've seen, I really doubt that. At least for 40k.

...and elves and dark elves and space marines, and chaos (including a familiar chaos symbol), and xenomorphs, and Egyptians, and terminators, and Japanese, etc.

Egyptians and Japanese? What's wrong with that? And mixing it with Tolkien? Sounds interesting to me. I don't think Tolkien ever had terminators or xenomorphs.

"Bro! My G.I. Joe versus your Aliens!" Nothing interesting is done with any of the races or tropes used. I like Mechanicus but they are barely given any spotlight, Space Marines are boring, Tau are boring, Eldar/Dark Eldar are boring, Orks are boring, Tyranids are boring. All the cool races are left to the side while heckin' cool Orkarinos get a new Waagh! every week.
