Big E knew about and/or planned on the Heresy happening the whole time, always wanted to be a God, Chaos didn't really lie to Lorgar and he would have killed them all off like the Thunder Warriors anyway.
It's why he didn't listen to Eldrad, or Magnus, why the Chaos Gods felt like the primarchs were their property, and why Emps didn't really do much to stop the Heresy or help his sons when he met them. (Criminally insane Konrad and Nails-in-his-brain Angron are two good examples.) And surely the most powerful psyker ever would have seen something like the Heresy coming!
But how do I know he's the bad guy? Think about it - the Emperor's been all kinds of people throughout history, right? Like Jesus? What did Jesus do?
>Form the foundation for the largest group of religions the world has ever seen, which divided most of the world through its various conflicts over the course of Terra's history.
>Hell, if it weren't for him then Khorne wouldn't have been "born" in the middle ages!
>Not once did he appear again, do his magic tricks and be like "No guys I'm not really God pls stop" despite the fact that it would have fixed everything, and he had millenia to do it.
>It was what he wanted them to do, but there weren't enough people alive at the time to give him ultimate power so he had to wait.Just as planned.

Wasn't Big E also supposed to be every MAJOR religious prophet?
I also vaguely remember hearing/reading he was Hitler somewhere but don't quote me on that

You're actually kind of right about all that, which is surprising as this kind of topic is usually made by clueless retards who get something or most of the things wrong.
The only problem with this theory is why the Emperor would purposely have himself crippled to the point of near death and put on the throne. Unless that's part of his plan to have humanity feed him forever while he is free to battle (and then conquer?) Chaos as a Warp spirit, or if Horus surprised him in their fight.

Stop drawing your knowledge from memes and read the actual fucking lore.

By being crippled on the throne, his Empire slowly descended into ten thousand years of shitness with the no one to lead it. The religion of the God-Emperor was able to take hold stronger than ever because of all the strife throughout the human worlds. If he instigated all that himself, he's the obvious bad guy because he let it happen, but by martyring himself he's the glorious God-Emperor, being all selfless and awesome to keep us alive or whatever. All that belief and faith for ten thousand years was probably what he wanted, what's a few millenia of agony compared to eternal Godhood?

Go home ADB, you're drunk

The emperor planned for the primarchs to fall. His bargain with the chaos gods was that they would receive half the primarchs as payment for their help. They weren't "stolen" they were sent to the planets that would shape them best into what the emperor needed them for, including tribute to the ruinous powers

Not going to get any stronger than if it were actually enforced

This needs to be said more often than not - thank you.

>The Emperor was Hitler
It all makes sense

>>50547121
He was whoever you want him to have been.
Though in the same fluff, any negative consequences of the Emperor's meddling were just attributed to him fucking up/failing to change human nature.

Everybody and their dog knows this. Reasoning varies but consensus is the same.
