So I am getting back into Warhammer 40K and I ordered some Blood Angels and I am getting hyped to start painting again. However I had some other players here tell me Blood Angel players are dicks and are hated. Is this true? Is it because the vampire thing only attracts edgy autists in all black pretending to be pretentious vampire fags?
I played Vampire Counts in Warhammer fantasy and it was my favorite army to play and paint and this is the closest I feel like I can get to that in 40K. Did I fuck up and I going to be an asshole now?

This is literally not even a thing nor has it ever been a thing.

So basically just assholes at my LGS that have something against this Chapter and they are projecting that on the player.

Yeah this isn't even a meme or anything. Probably has something to do with their own player group.
40k players can get really tribalistic for whatever reason. Especially when it comes to space marine chapters and legions. Don't worry about that stuff, just collect what resonates with you and go wild! It's really enjoyable if you connect with your army in both lore and aesthetics.

As a Black Templar player I would vote to purge you, but it's fine I guess

It was a thing. Once. Years and years ago in an Edition long since forgotten by most Blood Angels were THE asshat cheeselord waacfag faction that nobody could beat. At least where I lived.

Bangles are fine. They're vampire marines and that's about it. Kinda edgy/emo but not really compared to other shit in 40k.
Problem with this hobby and many other hobbies is that it's full of assholes everywhere
Just play what you want, you can't control how people react to stuff anyway

Play any chapter you want dawg, fuck the haters.
There's an Ultramarine guy at my FLGS who gets shit on constantly for his faction choice until he starts winning.
t. Dark Angels shill

Not uncommon, BA were a moderately high competitive army in 7th and some people still have salt.

That was Flesh Tearers.

FTs were only "OP" in the fact you could use their FOC to spam drop pods for other Imperials to then use. They were hardly OP on their own.

Either way, most of the "You get your own codex" marines were annoying

As a Grey Knight plyer I find your chapter to be gay nd useless, but it's fine I guess.
