"Meanwhile, me being guilt tripped by a random anon om the internet, because when I first experienced things like 40k, Pratchett, Lovecraft, I lived in a different part of the world, isolated from the political context and experienced them as pure fiction. And that apparently makes me racist fascist homophobe."

"More as in: "stop trying to tell me I should feel bad for liking the 9 feet tall supermen in a Range Rover's worth of armor".
We get it. "Imperium bad because totalitarianism". Guess what? I don't care. IG is cool, SM are cool, SoBs are cool, let me enjoy my funny soldier game's lore without shoving your political views down my throat. Be an adult and just enjoy the factions blowing eachother up with WMDs because gods are real and they hate you."

"Don't be political" is a dumb statement,the more apt is "Don't shove your personal politics down the consumer's throat.
And realistically you can look at the actions of the central figure,the Emperor,as both being aspiringly visionary or balls in your face dumb and naive."

This is like saying your 1488 tattoo next to your swastika is actually NOT 1488 next to a swastika, it's... something else.
There's dog whistles, and then there's airhorns. If someone says his board game made in 90s England with a character or world or whatever mag uruk thrakka is is not Margaret Thatcher, you can safely plug your ears and call him a liar.
'Oh no, I swear, Dumb Old Hump was never a reference to a then-President. It was... just a dumb old hump. His fake tan and blond combover actually originate in a pretty funny personal anecdote haha I can't remember it, tho haha'
