My guess is weaboos are to blame. If it's Japanese it can't be evil or bad.

>infecting earth caste with genestealer spaceaids just to see what happens

Yeah, what could possibly go wrong?

>When will the "Tau are the good guys" meme die?
When the "Imperium of Man are the good guys" meme dies as well.

>>51477386
I remember when Tau stirilizing, mind controlling, etc wasn't a thing back in 2001

>>51477501
>Tau wants to exterminate and enslave in aggressive expansion
>Imperium wants to exterminate and enslave because every other race in the galaxy hates them and wants them dead
>aggressive expansion vs. aggressive self-defense

The Imperium's not "good", but it's by far the least bad of any race in 40k. The only reason the Imperium hates everyone else is because everyone else hates the Imperium just because it exists.

>>51477520
Yeah, but the whole "we'll slaughter you if you refuse to join us or do anything against the Greater Good" has always been around. After that initial offer of joining the Tau have 0 mercy.

>>51477556
>Initial
Kek, no, they used to give several offers, sometimes so many it became ridiculously (see Tyranids), and yeah, it makes sense,
>Want to join?
>No?, but at least be allies?
>No?, but at least trade?
>No?, but at least don't go against us?
>No?, then fuck you
Literally more "humane" than any other faction ever

Until we've purged every single liberal and commie.

I'm not even joking.

>>51477386
when the tau stop asking before shooting and instead go straight to the planetary invasions or bombardment. the tau have developed a bit of common sense over the years so they do not always ask for your surrender if they know your faction does not do them. but as long as they accept the surrender and membership of backwater world guardsmen and PDF who are cut off from command and left for dead they will continue to maintain some of their 'good guy' reputation.

>>51477591
>>51477632
none of this changes the fact that if you refuse the greater good the tau view you as little more than a slave

everyone they trade with ends up getting taken over by them, allies end up getting attacked, and the tau don't respect neutrality. the only reason they've not invaded the eldar in full is because they think they're way stronger than they actually are.

that's not to say anyone else is better, but all races in 40k are equally terrible because they have to be that way to survive. the only morally ambiguous race is probably the tyranids. hive mind doesnt give a shit about politics or morality, it just wants to feed itself.

>>51477530
>Implying Tau aren't attacked by other species
>Implying Imperium doesn't exterminate every other species they meet

It's retarded for any group that calls for the extermination of everyone else to be upset when everyone else takes them seriously. Tau, for all their faults, are willing to let people live, while the Imperium is not.

These threads always make me want to either play Tau or buy some Tau models for someone as a gift so that they'll play Tau, just to spite the assblasted peddling ancient out-of-date memes.

I don't give a shit about the Tau but calling the Imperium 'least bad' is fucking hilarious. As if they didn't have their turn exterminating and enslaving in aggressive expansion. Calling the Tau out on it is fucking hypocrisy and simply shameful. This is a galaxy filled with shitty people doing shitty things and trying to excuse that is fucking retarded.

Concidering Tau have state-controlled breeding, infested Tau gonna be busted, isolated and dealt with before they manage to spawn any hybrids.

I'm glad we can finally put that dumb bit of FFG fluff about the tau "curing" the genestealer infection to bed

>>51477748
>Genestealer ovipositors the fish in charge of the breeding programme

Now this is cult-building.

The Tau accept humans in their empire and allow further worship of the god emperor. Would you say the same vice versa?

>and if you refuse to join them they sterilize and enslave you.
The bit of lore you are referring to is taken from a snippet about the local population of humans on a captured imperial planet fighting the tau occupation force for several generations with no sign of stopping. The genophage plan ended that and the humans are now every bit as obedient as anyone else in the empire. Despicable, but well intentioned and they didn't kill everyone.

>B-but muh Tau have so much freedom! The Imperium is full of slaves! Imperium citizens live like 1984/Chatel slavery, tau citizens live like it's brave new world/1984, shiny edition. Both are horrible but the imperium is the more unloving, psychotic of the two.

>you're born into a caste and can never leave it or perform any other goals in life. you're stuck with your caste and if you go against it you're considered a hereti -- sorry, a traitor to the greater good.

Imperium citizens range from bottom 99.999% who live in poverty and the fat cats at the top.

>>51477835
There is nothing dumb about this piece of fluff, if that's what you're referring to. There is no mention of a cure. In fact, it's pretty obvious that the 'eccentric' ethereal has probably been genestealered himself.

>>51477501
The Imperium are the good guys and your just angry about it.

Their not the hero you want, their the hero the universe deserves. Which turns out to be a psycher so compassionate that he becomes a biomancer and gives out free fait points to people.

>>51477845
Tau Empire is not an Imperium. Unless the job requires some genius they would never put a single unsupervised individual in charge of it.

>>51477875
The Imperium also accept humans allow them to worship of the god emperor.

>>51478158
Don't be dumb. The cure was invented in 997+ 41K. This event was before that happened. Check when Gorgon invaded the Tau Empire. So it doesn't disprove it. Try again racist.

kroot disagree, also cite your sources, when has anyone or anything other than Imperial propaganda ever said Tau view those outside of their empire as "little more than slaves".

Also Eldar are, in fact, "way stronger" than you perceive them. There's a reason the Imperium tends to leave them alone.

>>51477402
Right, because it's not like they allied themselves with the Nazis or anything.
