“reserve judgement” yeah they better. Better reserve it forever. They’re not even ordained. Who gave them them the idea they could interpret religion. Buncha protestant-ass invaders.
There’s always some justification given for things like this. It’s just a matter of course. That doesn’t hide the obvious selective enforcement and undue severity.
Yeah, generally the best way to make fascists feel stupid is to make them seem weird or dorky.
I say this as someone who does enjoy some 40k media. It’s not a real satire.
It can’t be a satire until there’s a real alternative shown to the empire, at least hypothetically. Not while there are things in the lore that actually ‘justify’ a fascist response. Not until every rebellion stops being chaos or genestealers.
Speaking of genestealers, take them as an example. Nothing about them adds to a satire of fascism. They do the opposite. They show fascism as correct. Evil outsiders coming into poison the bloodlines of the people, to drive them to madness and revolution, and the only solution is to kill all of them. That’s not a satire.
One approach I’ve seen used is allowing AI generation in certain cases, but requiring a report on what it got wrong, and how you approached fixing/adapting things. Which is kind of a compromise of the tool existing, and trying to get people to not uncritically regurgitate output. To hypothetically position it as a tool you use in a process, instead of a solution by itself.
