soys sneed and screed over a fictional image in r/Grimdank CONTEXT!
Warhammer 40k is a fictional dramatic opera about genocide 
and superhuman 
daddy issues. In 40k future humanity, after a lot of catastrophic galaxy-wide wars have regressed from a star trek Utopia back into a ultra totalitarian religious dictatorship, where all of humanity worships (or is forced to worship by pain of genocide) the comatose corpse of the God-Emperor sitting on a giant hospital ventilator. Everything sux and is mega dystopian, and traitors (rebels/dissidents) are called synonemously as heretics, so show how entrenched emperor worship is.
The main thing putting 40k universe apart from all the other Starshit nerd franchises is the perpetual genocides, and specifically the XENOPHOBIA 
Humanity hates all other sentient life and aliens, and are prone to genocide 
all alien life
So art and fanfiction regularly places the totalitarian humanity (called the Imperuim of Man) in the position of genociding aliens, sometimes for fun, the Imperuim of Man is depicted fighting aliens from other well known franchises, like star trek, star wars, Xenomorphs, and other series just for fun. 
It's common
You'd think with such a turbo edgy 
universe with chud shit like genocide, slavery, neo-feudalism and racial supremacy being core themes of the universe that a more right wing-ish crown would make up the core fanbase 
But on Fricking reddit, and especially /r/Grimdank (a meme sub), it's often filled with turbo ultra omega soys 
And these turbo soys will b-word about the most typical bullshit we have grown tired 
from reddit echo chambers. Like the frequent fights 
about Space Marine only being male in universe, or the frequently monthly "TRANS RIGHTS" posting 
, or virtue signalling by libtards who are clearly not sub regulars of give a shit about the 40k lore at all and wants to colonize all hobby/fandom subs like the chaos gods 
Well in today's sperg congregation, we have another shitlib hugbox cry fest 
about some art on twatter where another generic 40k artist made some art about the Imperuim of Man facing off against the Navi from the Avatar movies.
The cardinal sin of the artist in question today is the use of the Navi specifically because they are space Indians 
(the yank type) , and the casual and INSENSITIVE nature of this fictional picture has ruffled the 
feathers of grimDork
Killing space natives is unimpressive 
"Killing space natives in fiction is A POLITICAL STATEMENT" 
"Ugh I hate the low brow members of this truly scholarly and cultured hobby of ours, ggnnhhhhh" 
"YIKESERINOS, I keep getting a bad VIBE from fans who immitate the bad-guys too much, they give off a hecking NAZI VIBE!" 
"It's getting disturbing for me how many of the fanbase is taking the purge the Xenos seriously"
PROJECTION!!
"Chuds masterbate to Space Marines killing furries, and this makes me mad!" 
THIS ART IS CRINGE BECAUSE IT PROMOTES COLONIALISM AGAINST THE UNDERDOG 
Man this art REALLY pissed of the soys
"Some people are a little too excited to be space xenophobes."
@XY plz pin thank you

Between grimdank and 40klore, I wonder how much of the user base actually owns an army or has ever even played 40k

Why is this? The franchise seems made for
with the imperium and main themes so why has it become popular with 
and marvel enjoyers?

In the case of at least a few, the fan base was neurodivergent and alternative enough to develop their own valids.

I've only really played KillTeam and Necromunda
The main game is too unbalanced. My AdMech army is trash rules wise.
