I'm not going to play the games (not THAT much of a manchild) or read the books(I know they're slop), so I thought reading their lore would be a good way to pass the time but even that didn't seem all that well thought out. It's like they came up with a lot of cool concepts/premises but didn't bother to flesh it out beyond that 
.
This isn't the "neurodivergent world building" that nerds promised me 
. Worst part was how underdeveloped the "God Emperor" 
himself was.

To be fair, as originally created, all of that lore was supposed to be ancient history told by unreliable narrators. It was heckin' valid to interpret the Emperor as just being a 10,000 year old corpse because it didn't matter and probably made the setting better if he was dead and everything he was allegedly doing with his
psychic powers was actually just 
Space Church Lies.
