Redscare approved take.
Heβs so right about GoT. Epic yet no detail spared. Great casting. Best costumes. Love the shameless stereotyping of North vs South. White Walker subplot legit one of the scariest things to appear on TV in recent history. Faithful depictions of political scheming and intrigue byβ¦ https://t.co/VQvYKr9Fjb

You know, it's funny whenever people try to paint the Imperium as "fascist", except in-context literally everything the Emperor has ever done has been objectively correct.
15,000 years ago humanity got its chance at a progressive liberal utopia, and it failed. Not saying it would fail in real life, but in the warhammer universe their super progressive society got overran by AI uprisings, demons, and shit like that.
All the "bad" things in the current 40k setting that the government does are all there for a good reason, to stop the mistakes of the past from happening again.

The Emperor's actual designs all failed, it is no one's fault but his own that he's practically a ghost trapped in his own mummified corpse.
The system that emerged after him contradicts everything he wanted and is itself the result of millennia of institutional inertia and bureaucratic creep: the Sisters of Battle exist as a legal loophole, for example.
Yeah, 40k isn't the kind of setting where multiculti Star Trek utopia is supposed to work (this is all an excuse for a miniatures wargame, 'member?), but the tone of everything about the Imperium is that it's a crumbling mess on the verge of imploding and led by at times utterly irrational actors (when they aren't actually fifth columnists). It does a lot of shit for no good reason, because that's the point of the setting. That and ripping ideas from 2000 AD.

Yeah, but the concepts of "racism good" are independent of whatever frick-ups the Emperor's plans had. The backstory establishes that humanity tried to be Star Trek and failed. That's all I was getting at.

Yeah, racism good because it's a wargame (and they ripped off TomΓ‘s de Torquemada from 2000 AD).
You need the factions to always be butting heads so players have coherent reasons to play any combination match they want.
This is also why the Imperium and every other faction has so much internal conflict, it's all about giving reasons for why your dudes are fighting the opponent's dudes.
Basically, you're reading too much into a piece of fiction that's about Space Nazi Catholics fighting Egyptian Cyborg-Terminator Aliens fighting Elves fighting Space Heck that's ripped from Moorpeepee.

If I recall the actual correct take is that the Emperor is r-slurred and evil because he also sowed the seeds of humanity's ruin because he didn't use common sense to see that they might not go according to plan. It's like making it so that everyone worldwide hears a brownnote every 24 hours so you just give everyone diapers to cover up your mistake. Like sure, it's "correct" but you made it happen in the first place.

What
Maybe theres some super super obscure book that reveals some very small factoid but the gist of it is
"Robots bad, AI bad, no robots. Psychics bad, summon demons, no psychics. Everyone must work all the time, or the trillions of angry bugs and orks and demons will kill us."
The average "media-literate" nonchud reading this isn't going to go much deeper than that.

Look man, the emperor was there for all human history are you trying to say that he couldn't have predicted or prevented at least half of that. God why don't you go prolapse your butt and then pat yourself on the back when you wear a diaper to shield everyone from your messy innards.

But he isn't the reason people call the Imperium fascist (it isn't, it's just xenophobic and callously destructive).

That's another thing lol, it's xenophobic for a really, really good reason. In-universe the objectively correct course of action is to be a racist gigachud, or all of humanity dies. It almost reads like porn for hyperconservatives given how objectively correct all the hyperconservatives in the 40k universe are.

IDK if that's the correct way of framing it. Chuddery qua chuddery is a very modern condition, equally as inappropriate for importation into fantastic settings as wokery. Not that anyone cares about things like this when there's elections being stolen and news media biased against trump and the jews and he said you can grab em by the kitty.
I think the "porn for hyperconservatives" bit is overstated, though. It's porn for the xenophobes of 1650, at the latest.

I dunno, is it though?
Now I know you're going to point out that the Emperor doesn't want to be a god, but it doesn't stop faith&willpower->physical manifestations, so if belieiving the Emperor is god makes actual miracles happen, what's the difference?
Shit like "but muh immigration" and "muh abortion" and "muh trans rights", basically every Democrat talking point, is provably and factually a waste of time to worry about in 40k since the only thing that matters is building more guns.
Seems hyperconservative to me
