>>54501462
right, it's so vague that literally everyone agrees. There shouldn't be any controversy there.
It doesn't even make the holder a bad person to believe it, since even if you don't have a complicated, nuanced and rigorous moral philosophy that you espouse and hold yourself to, you can still manage to be a good person, since it's pretty rare that in real life an axe murderer comes to your house and asks if there's a switch in your attic where if you flip it a trolley will crash into a lifeboat, but if you don't flip it, you strangle baby hitler in his crib. So a moral attitude of "I try to be a positive influence on people around me" is enough to generally be a pretty good person.

So no, Slaanesh is not encouraging homophobia and it's self-serving political grandstanding to claim anything about 40K has any significant positive or negative moral message.

>>54501543
loving your family and focusing on their growth and prosperity is Nurgle.
Each of those examples were different chaos gods. Papa Nurgle is Papa Nurgle for a reason. Honorable warriors still fall to Khorne, even without giving in to raging bloodlust. And literally every nerd who thinks he's the smartest guy in the room is an acolyte of Tzeentch.

>>54501339

They're reinventing the god.

It was once all about seduction and intoxication which makes perfect sense. You can easily embody these concepts. You can also easily imagine yjr Space Marines of old becoming corrupted by these things.

That had to go. Not kid friendly. Not intelligentsia friendly. Linking carnality and intoxication to violence and death has become a minefield.

They tepidly tried changing the god of drugs and sex to one of obsession and excessive perfectionism, but it didn't catch on. Moreover, how do you even embody these concepts in miniatures. And is not ever faction of the Imperium obsessive?

And so it's come to this. Slaanesh has been deliberately shrouded in obscurity for some time now, and for some time to come. This has been done to create a blank slate of sorts one upon which a new vision of Slaanesh will be inscribed.

Are the rumors true? Will Slaanesh be reinvented as a god of 'pleasure through pain'. If so, will they explore sexual territory, or will they play it safe and settle for flushed faces and torn flesh.

>>54501472
Y'know, I genuinely think all this will boil down to is taking the nipples off the models and most of the art focusing on noise marines and torture machines (like a grungier Dark Eldar).
Once the actual visible sex references are sanded off the whole thing will die down.

>>54501479
>I can see a shift in focus from hedonism to the EC's Perfectionism to insane degrees for the whole faction.

How would "perfectionism monsters" look?
Malevolent preening?

>>54501608
>Not kid friendly.
Yet the other 3 are? Khorne is filled as as much blood and gore as the the human body can contain. Nurgle has his followers decaying and becoming masses of filth and death. And Tzeentch is basically a corrupt politician turned up to 11 that does nothing but lie and cheat to get his way. None of them are the best role models, and this doesn't even include the other factions in the universe.

>>54501728

Only one of the chaos gods tends to include sexual content that nerds enjoy. And if there's anything that the left-wing puritans hate, it's men , especially low-status men like nerds/gamers, being happy or feeling comfortable exploring sexuality in media.

>>54501546
The problem of course, is that what constitutes "not being a dick" and "being a dick" generally varies, thus applying a generic Hallmark Card-tier moral bandage on humanity is going to cause all sorts of problems.
>I'll try to be a positive influence
Often said by those who just try instead of being. "Oh I TRIED being a positive influence but X, Y and Z happened, so oops. It's not my fault. At least I tried though." It's just half-hearted bullshittery, like when someone says "I don't care about [subject]." Just mere posturing of being good rather than actually being good.
When someone says platitudes like "don't be a dick," it just feels like he has his heart in the right place, but lack the mental fortitude and power to really delve into what actually constitutes as positivity.

>>54501608
>They tepidly tried changing the god of drugs and sex to one of obsession and excessive perfectionism

>>54501940

Well it kind of makes sense - Slaanesh is the god of self-indulgence taken to an illogical extreme, whereas Khorne is the god of fucking murdering/killing everything, including yourself - with an unhealthy dose of self-repression in the service of boodlshed thrown in.

>>54501420

It's idiotic at times how much modern media defends unrestrained sexuality.

Like, i was watching "American Gods", and one of the characters was an immigrant black goddess called Bilquis(which may shit on one of the themes in the book being that gods are local, but whatever) who was the Queen of Sheba/various other love deities in the past.

Bitch literally tricks people into devouring her worshipers souls with her vagina to feed her power, either in ritualistic orgies, in the past, or
by hooking up with people in bars or on Tinder in modern times.

Tbh, none of the gods in that show are nice, and they all love human sacrifices as spirit food(except Anubis and Jesus), but this chick is literally a bisexual sexual predator that snuffs people out in weird murder-fucking.

The way the show presents it?
>People fear muh strong, sexually liberated, independent woman of colour because men feel threatened by a queen in power;

Wtf, Bilquis is literally Cio from KSBD when she was Yabalchoath, and the show fucking praises her.
>>54504121
>THEIR LORE BECAUSE IT'S TOO SEXUAL I SWEAR
No, no, they hate it because it says all this kinky weird sex-drugs-and-body-mods is a bad thing.

>Like, i was watching "American Gods", and one of the characters was an immigrant black goddess called Bilquis(which may shit on one of the themes in the book being that gods are local, but whatever) who was the Queen of Sheba/various other love deities in the past.

The gods aren't local. That's the whole point, the old gods were brought to America in the minds of their followers and then abandoned, because America is poor soil for gods. The new gods have yet to learn this, even though they can see things like the gods of trains and radio decaying.

And there is a strong psychosexual component to Bilquis in the book as well; men are threatened by her, and yet drawn to her, because she controls them body and heart. It's established in both cases by making an innocent man worship her, then sacrificing himself to her (though the book does a better job of it, in that the man's wife/girlfriend calls looking for him and she just says he's not here anymore).

Do any of you faggots have anything to back up your theory that a left wing conspiracy is behind the lack of focus on Slaanesh?

In a Slaaneshi context, that would manifest as the most fucked up, selfish obsession you could imagine.

>>54505224 Of course they don't. It's the left boogeyman all over again, it hasn't yet left their psyche, never mind the fact that america not only are almost alone in still using the imperial system, they also almost solemnly use a completely different political compass from the rest of the world. The positions they attribute to left and right are all over the place.

Never mind the fact that the AMERICAN right wing are the people that hate sex, culture and poor people. The AMERICAN left wing at least stands intelectually honest behind it's position to just ban everything they don't like (of which sex is not a part, hell, they'd present it as a bad thing you wouldn't engage in things you perceive as sexualy depraved), while the AMERICAN right wing just wants to ban all the other stuff the left forgot, whilst advocating the dissolution of all good and sensical rules in the name of your "freedom" so that they can then buy and lie and cheat their way to ban/subvert it with money.

They are both spawn of satan that deserve nothing but a tortured slow death, but the right hides it better, so all of these pseudo intelectual cucklords are too stupid to realize they are gladly accepting the baited boogeyman and then go on to self mastubatory heights to praise themselves for they clairvoyance as they are being assraped anyways.

And the extreme rights all over the world rejoice, for they are getting free propaganda to use, an entire army of mongoloid keyboard warriors that try to hammer in conotations of "good" and "bad" in relation to left and right that make no sense in the rest of the world.

>>54500728
Their stance is that their primary market is kids with rich parents cause edgy metalheads don't have as much free cash as they used to, so yeah they will totally kill off the god of rape-crabs.

As to if it will stick, given that the community is an infinite echo chamber that still clings onto stuff from the era when space marines were Judge Dredd in power armour, then probably not forever, but expect squat levels of denial for the foreseeable future.

>all this fucking salt about something that isn't even going to happen

They literally just released a book where Slaaneshi characters play a very influential role, and are very obviously degenerate hedonists in all forms when they're present.

It makes no sense for them to create releases and give background (that coincides with what is already established in most respects) and then axe that entire pillar on the grounds of, "muh kid friendly" bullshit - from the company that literally wrote an article making fun of PETA criticizing Space Wolves using fur. Being PC and FAMILY-FRIENDLY isn't their selling point - while they're not trying to be actively offensive, they also handle big-boy concepts like morality, religion, violence, human nature, and survival in a universe so shitty that the hyper-religious Nazis In Space are actually the good guys.

It makes absolutely ZERO financial sense either. What are they going to do with all the molds and existing models if they kill Slaanesh? What are they going to do with all those kits that include Slaaneshi bitz, which is virtually EVERY Chaos model? That's a shitload of investment just to REMOVE something, and it makes no sense whatsoever when both 40K and 30K are huge cash cows that are stronger than they've ever been.

True, but hollywood places much greater emphasis on "social justice" than an author does, which results in things like the mauling of Bilquis' character (among many other things in the book).

It's almost like Slaanesh would be better served by the chaos gods having more depth to them.

God of Excess is far more interesting and variable than "LOLBOOBSJOINCHAOS".

>>54508813
>It's almost like Slaanesh would be better served by the chaos gods having more depth to them.

They actually do have a lot of depth to them for people who actually read the lore.

The problem is that people read 1d4chan, watch TTS, and take 40K memes as gospel without ever actually reading any of the fluff.

>>54508914
Fulgrim, for all it's faults, did a good job showing Slaaneshi infestation. Everything is fine until you face a hurdle between you and what you want, you overcome the hurdle with some effort, and everything is fine again until the next hurdle.

It's not until someone else comes along and asks why there's all these corpses that the scale becomes apparent, and which point it's too late for takebacks.

It's often fairly deep in the lore though, or fairly far back though.

Visually, which is what hits most people first, there isn't a lot of the other aspects like search for perfection in something, or even just like gluttony and stuff (cause nurgle is the fat one).

>>54500909
I thought the point of the Chaos gods was that they were virtues taken to absurd extremes?
Khorne was Courage and martial valor
Tzeentch was Knowledge and the ability to change
Nurgle was supposed to be perserverance maybe? Was never sure about him
Slaanesh was passion.

Despair is Love, anon, just as surely as Death is Life. And remenber, Nihilism does not always mean Defeatism.

All life is suffering. You have not lived a single instant of your life that wasn't stolen from whatever you ate. This whole cursed world turns on pain, but one day even it will end; the Gods will consume everything. A kalpa will pass, the wheel will turn, and a new universe of suffering will be born.

But, there is freedom in suffering. One who will die lives his last days immortal; nothing can take his life, for he knows it is no longer his. Rejoice, for you are dying! Love your rival; your hatred is a drop in the ocean of suffering that is theirs. Share your food; it will feed the maggots one day anyway! Show "mercy" to your enemy; death will only hasten the inevitable.

Let love be a part of everything you do, for Nurgle loves you! He sees that life is suffering, and he pitties us poor living things. He comforts us in our suffering, and ends it when the time is right.

Nurgle is Love. Nurgle is Life.

I'm one of the ones that likes the excessive sex aspects of Slaanesh, but I also like all the other aspects too, perfectionism and overindulgence of baser desires.
You don't need to scrap one to have the other two.

>Khorne is about mindless hate and destruction
confirmed for knowing shit about Khorne, but that's besides the point.

Basically, it's sounds Khornate because Khorne is very big on "active" actions, with regards to the overlap that can occur between Khorne and Slaanesh.
The example that's often given is the idea of swordsmanship. The warrior who wants to become a perfect swordsman is excessive, and thus Slaaneshi. The warrior who kills many chalenging foes, becoming a perfect swordsman, is Khornate.
To become perfect is Slaaneshi. To become perfect while overcoming challenges is Khornate. Really, it could tip either way.

>>54512585
You do have a point there.
But to be fair, from a design standpoint it's hard to show the other aspects inn model design.
Noise Marines being obsessed with loud noises is kind of all we have.
But maybe we'll get Palatine Blades and Phoenix Terminators soon?
As for Daemons I think the Fiends are kind of like the Daemonic equivalent of Noise Marines with their soporific musk.

>>54512615
You don't become perfect by overcoming challenges, you become the best.

Out here in The World, we can do whatever the fuck we want with our Little Mans. (Ask me about my Demiurge AM regiment ... ) 1yr later on, Slaanie could be brought back unchanged - for no reason - and this profound and inexplicable retardation would only be regarded as Peak GW.

Also, people need to stop treating GW like a real company. They don't have to worry about losing profits if they do stupid shit, since doing dumb shit has pretty much been GW's mission statement since Y2k - yet here we are.

>>54524784

I think the motive really matters here.

In reality there is a lot of discrimination against minorities when it comes to relationship stuff. As of 2013 more than 10% of Americans still didn't support interracial marriage.

http://www.gallup.com/poll/163697/approve-marriage-blacks-whites.aspx

Showing an interracial couple to get the idea across that its OK is not positing that one ethnicity is superior.

On the other hand, if somebody literally started going "This group is the master race you should only fuck them" that would be pretty racist.

>>54524689
>I feel like you are really judging everybody by a small group of people you see posting online.
Pot and kettle. Militant leftists do exactly the same to right-wingers, nowadays everyone even slightly right of Bill Clinton is being called a nazi by your party.

I'm not even right-wing myself, I'm trapped in the middle of two cults who right now seem to be pushing how far apart they can go in their little tyrannies before people in the middle revolt and kill them all.

America is in dire need of a centrist party that can protect the rights of the mayority against the whims and privileges of the far left and far fight minorities.

>>54524877
>I think the motive really matters here.
It doesn't.
Either all racism is racism or no racism is racism.

And if it was a benign sociological interest instead of a malign marketing ploy, we'd see more black women with white men or asians with withes, or asians with blacks, or hispanics. But it's always white woman + black man because assholes in a meeting room are thinking in terms of cucks and bulls when pushing products for the modern demographic with most expendable income: white women.

If I was a white man I'd feel vindicated, if you are a white man and don't feel there's anything wrong or shady about this, leave your credit card home so your gf can pamper me next time we go out behind your back not because she likes me, but because media tells her she needs to date "exotic" men to be socially approved.

>>54525094

>It doesn't.
>Either all racism is racism or no racism is racism.

See this is a good start. I think its a fair point to say that intentionally depicting inter-race couples, even out of benign social interest (as opposed to a belief in ethnic superiority), is still racist.

> If I was a white man I'd feel vindicated, if you are a white man and don't feel there's anything wrong or shady about this, leave your credit card home so your gf can pamper me next time we go out behind your back not because she likes me, but because media tells her she needs to date "exotic" men to be socially approved.

See this is where you crazy. I'm not saying you are, but this just kinda comes off as sexually frustrated and a bit psychotic.

>>54525094

What in the actual fuck are you talking about. Genuinely. I consume media, rabidly, I browse tumblr, I even read a few magazines, I'm liberal as fuck, and I have literally no idea what 'promotion of exotic men for social acceptance' you're talking about. I'm about as white male as it fucking gets, and I'm doing quite well in the pussy department.

>>54525077
It's ok for everyone to speak against tyranny, opression, social engineering, cult programming and any other sort of freedom-infringement no matter where it comes from or who you are.

The left is not innocent, the right is not innocent, both desserve derision and stoic opposition.

If you are against racism, don't be racist to anyone, for any reason. Otherwise you're just one more hypocrite pretending role-reversal is "progress" and not the stark opposite.

>>54525104

It's OK to speak out against Tyranny, but it's not OK to blame huge groups of people for the actions of a few. It's also not OK to try to justify it by going "Well people loosely associated to you do it to me so it's ok if i do it to you!"

I'll admit I may be a bit more attentive to social engineering than the average /tg/ denizen. I migrated to USA during the South African ethnic cleansing of 08 and was aware of the Kenyan Crisis and the arab expulsion from Niger in 06. During all these events the first thing you notice in retrospective is media showing more people not like you and speaking at lenght about how problematic and unnescessary people like you are.

Not saying you're gonna be ethnically cleansed, but your media is telling your women to leave you for last. And it's not from any sort of benign principle, it's either money or racism.

>>54518937

As an arab, I feel this way every day, but I think you are trying to say white people should be worried about this (or am I misreading the comment). People have been telling me to get out of the country since 9/11

>>54525489

>>54525266
I'm pretty sure when people say SJWs we refer to the white hetero male hategroup that thinks sexy fictional characters are rape and wants people to be jailed for using the wrong pronouns, usually native of tumblr, twitter and west-coast universities. The people who care and fight for the rights and equitative threatment of people are social activists.

And both far-left/right and militant left/right-winger already discriminate the crazies in both camps from the moderates.

Why do you guys think they're gonna kill off Slaanesh?

>>54525678
>I think you are trying to say white people should be worried about this
It's literally happening to white people right now. Do you not consume any mainstream media ever, or do you just not care because it isn't you?

>As an arab, I feel this way every day
Ever notice how there are arab countries for arabs, hispanic countries for hispanics, black countries for blacks, but if anyone even thinks about having a white country for whites they're a racist literal Nazi? You ever think white people might get a little tired of that?

>>54525751
>And both far-left/right and militant left/right-winger already discriminate the crazies in both camps from the moderates.
Classical liberal here. This isn't broadly true on the left. If you think it is then you haven't been paying attention to the last fifty years of history.

> It's literally happening to white people right now. Do you not consume any mainstream media ever, or do you just not care because it isn't you?


I never said it isn't happening. I just literally wasn't sure what you said because it's hard to detect tone on the internet.

> Ever notice how there are arab countries for arabs, hispanic countries for hispanics, black countries for blacks, but if anyone even thinks about having a white country for whites they're a racist literal Nazi? You ever think white people might get a little tired of that?

The people pushing for black only or arab only countries are totally wrong, and the people who are pushing for white only countries are also wrong. Also, its wrong to try to justify discriminating against minorities around you by saying "Well, some people of those ethnic groups who live far away discriminate against me". The solution to other countries being racist isn't to be racist back, that just perpetuates the problem.

Theres a difference between all mainstream media eliminating successful white men from view as role models or attractive partners vs Fox and rednecks saying "arabs go home" without stopping to think most muslims are from India or that a lot of arabs aren't islamic.

Little do they know I'm from Ethiopia where most of their great granddadies were dragged from nude and chained by my ancestors to be sold at your ancestors' slave markets.

I totally agree. The US government has killed hundreds of thousands of brown people over the last decade to enrich the military industrial complex. To add insult to industry they now ban people from the very countries they screwed up because its supposedly too dangerous (even though the government destabilized the region in the first place).

The fact that somebody could think the power dynamic is pro arab in the USA is a bit sad.

>>54526849
The mainstream is culture, the specialized is sub-culture. You pretty much have to seek right-aligned POVs to be exposed to them even with a republican president on the house. But all you have to do is be in any city to be exposed to left-aligned POVs from radio, tv, internet, advertising, magazines, etc.

You pretty much have to go to /pol/ to hear far-right rethoric that isn't being displayed on mockery (and /pol/ is a mockery in itself so there isn't even that), meanwhile far-left indoctrination is literally college curriculum.

Doesn't matter if you don't agree with the right, they should have equal representation in media but they don't because the people who own the media are left-leaning and have no interests in an educated and free democracy. Ironically, thay may very well be why they lost this past election.

>>54526972

I think this is really only true for a subset of issues. When the government wanted to go murder a bunch of Iraqis the majority of people and the media were for it.

I haven't heard anybody on TV say that we effectively lived through a modern genocide that was perpetuated by both parties. Sure, the media bashes trump more, but when it comes to a lot of issues that mater they are very conservative.
