Here’s a link.

Does it fail as satire? Does this kind of thing work as good satire for specific people? Somebody explain.

    i think that “satire requires a clarity of purpose blah blah blah” meme is the product of diseased minds. some people are just stupid, especially nazis. art isn’t supposed to force everyone to have the one correct reaction to it and if it can’t do that it’s failed.

    but also this is way late for them to start doing something about the nazi problem in the community.

      Some nazis are just stupid and don’t understand that this depiction is not an endorsement, but there’s a good proportion (don’t know the percentage) that are doing the “yes, but unironically” thing. The 40k lore is conductive to this because as the GW’s statement points outs it’s not a “ha-ha” kind of satire.
