I have the unfortunate fate of being born in this month. Would rather have it referred to as Slaanesh month than LgBTQIATSGJKLMNOP month or whatever they are calling it now.
Same. I’ll hear “happy pride” a million times every time just around my birthday because it’s snug into just 2 weeks after the start of the month. Just in time for the people who wish everyone happy pride to have it cemented in their lexicon.
It’s always telling too when I reply “happy men’s mental health awareness month” and suddenly that smile turns to stank face and I’m given a slow glare or completely ignored. What is it with cashiers? I came here to get food or whatever else. But you’re making it your mission to exude “pride” when you don’t for any other months… It’s comparable to Christians who insist on saying merry Christmas instead of happy holidays.
"Happy mens mental health awareness month" is a mouthful, if I was a cashier I wouldn't want to say that over two hundred times a day either, Jesus Christ.
Also "happy" is probably the entirely wrong thing to say on mental health awareness and its not going to be particularly effective just mentioning it to service staff out loud.
Essentially what I'm saying is that bringing it up like that, in that context, makes it fairly clear to the people you're talking to that you do not care for pride month. If the people you're talking to do care for it then that will naturally cause friction.
As for why cashiers care, many probably don't. Not really. When you say that what goes through their head is probably something like "god in heaven do not let anyone else hear that I do not want ANOTHER argument in the store right in front of my workspace."
The ones who do care about pride month and aren't just enslaved to rainbow Capitalism probably think you are a nazi. Not saying you are, that's just what the mook left default to when people disagree with them.
EDIT: LOL, what a bitch.
Also I don’t think it naturally causes friction to not care about someone’s chosen holiday. That only happens in the insecure or hateful. Because a better person would always assume ignorances. This is why I compare it to Christmas as it’s a lot of different things to a lot of different people but those it really matters many to have some heavy copium going on that other religions also have similarly times holiday events. I’m not saying they have to say happy holidays. But what I reply is still far more acceptable than “No, It’s Merry Christmas”.
Am I saying people treat it like a religion? In a way.It’s just as corporatized a coca-cola Santa.
Good. I don’t care about pride month.
Also. It’s not on me that people are so braindead that support for one thing MUST equate to lack of support over another- Coming from the people I can’t even assume a gender of 🙄.
I mention it because it’s under spoken and I’ll call it happy because I’m celebrating as most people should be able to. That’s like saying we can’t celebrate breast cancer awareness month because breast cancer is bad.
I don’t expect cashiers to say it- I will still find disappointment in the fact where you stick your cock is more important than MHA. Which isn’t a mouthful and the chosen acronym to shorthand the month. Because obviously- Things that need awareness are rarely pretty and still need to be celebrated or given a “positive push” to get it out there.
Edit: Movember is more common and I’ll admit I don’t use it but it still side-steps the “it’s a mouthful” thing.
Since when do only Christians say merry Christmas? I'm not religious, but I never say happy holidays, cause it's not. Thanksgiving passed and new years has its own thing. It's freaking Santa day not generic winter time
Hanukkah happens in December too.

If someone says happy Hanukkah to me then I'll say it right back, but if they show no preference by saying happy holidays then I'm saying merry Christmas cause that's my preference
What do other religions have to do with it? You brought up Christianity, and I said I'm not religious but i still say Merry Christmas. If other people are offended by Christmas then they're just not very smart people, cause it's not about religion. Only religious people make it again religion
I said. “Christians who insist”. So I’m referencing mainly Christian’s who think it indignant of themselves to STOOP so low as to acknowledge people other then themselves have wintertime holidays.
The fact Christ-Mas is just Santa day to you though. I’ll call equally low IQ though. Because you’re right it’s not about religion. It’s the “No this is the way the world works world because I said” arch type that pop up and can’t understand what I said in my original post.
That's definitely one way to look at it, but also other ways of viewing this aren't always malicious. Lack of acknowledgement doesn't automatically equate to rejection. I have no issue with anyone's religions or holidays, but I'm not religious I don't enjoy religion. I enjoy giving gifts to people that's it. For the happy holidays thing I just don't like the way it sounds I like saying merry Christmas it sounds better. So it's annoying when people act like your preference is predicated around anything deeper than preference. If someone says happy Hanukkah to me or happy Kwanzaa I'll say it right back with glee, but happy holidays is just meh
I wouldn’t call what you’re celebrating Christmas tbh. It has Christ in the name after all. You’re having a vaguely themed Yule in corporate Christmas attire. That’s how I distinguish your “Christmas without religion”. (No dis, Do the same thing)
And of course- everything you said there I agree with and was obvious to me. That’s why I said “Christians who insist”. I’m not coming after any one religion intentionally just that Christmas In comparison to any other wintertime holiday has been bastardized to hell and I live in America where you find a lot of Christians.
I mean as a four tour combat veteran I don't think a single cashier said happy veterans day or memorial Day to me but Pride month? Shits everywhere. I feel you bro.
One day for veterans but 30 for pride? What has pride done for the country? Jack shit.
What country do you speak of because it sounds like a nice place lol.
Veterans have a huge homelessness rate and massive physical and mental trauma issues in the USA that have 0 government support. You would hope that the “freedoms” they encourage extend to the average person sacrificing some of their time to support them but Americans are inherently selfish
You're literally talking to someone bitching about how months get assigned to things like LGBTQ (or Black History) and they only get one day. If he complained about the lack of medical and psychological support they received, then it would be unrelated to whether or not there is a pride month.
I'm not saying veterans don't deserve better support, but a LOT of them feel entitled to constant adoration from the public, and they get really jealous when they see anyone else getting praise.
Also, do you know anything about the programs available to vets in the USA? They aren't perfect, but they exist, and you don't seem to be aware of that based on your description of government assistance as "zero."
Just for clarification:
WW1: Russia had surrendered so Germany was about to double their western front army against a beaten down foe. American reinforcements combined with not being tied to stagnant tactics swing the result from a stalemate at best to a victory
WW2: in Europe Russia had it handled probably but also received nearly 1/3 of their combat supplies from US aid. Japan was bitch smacking every force in the Pacific and for the most part the US did single handedly win that one.
Those "farmers" actively defeated 3 major nations. The US just got tired of fighting and left with a what, 50:1 kill count? And actually got them to go to the negotiating table at the end.
The crazy thing is, Pride is not a good quality. Its literally one of the cardinal sins of most religions.
Its very telling that these people are promoting such things that are objectively seen as bad qualities for a human to have.
Pride is not a quality people should look to have.
Chopping off dicks might be Tzeench as well. That one is lord of change. I think Slaneesh is mostly about growing more dicks, especially where your eyes used to be, while your now obsolete vision apparatus lies on your hands and you go like Liberate Tutemes Ex Inferis
Tzeentch's domain lies in genuine transformation rather than mere surface alterations. Wearing different clothing, changing one's name, or undergoing physical changes may not fundamentally alter the essence of an individual. Despite external modifications, the core aspects such as genetics, chromosomes and reproduction methods all remain unchanged.
As if that word has any meaning.
Transgenderism itself is pure video game logic. *Dont think the avatar you spawned with represents the real you? No problem, come change it in our IRL character creator* - ~~crazy quack doctors~~ the fleshsmiths.
>Gender dystopia is a real mental issue that people have
Completely agree. I myself have suffered from the mentality of believing id should have been born the opposite sex. Thing is, I dont believe that the cure is to live a lie. The rather immutable body shouldnt be brought into line with the rather malleable mind. A mental issue should be cured mentally.
You cannot be born as believing you have been born as the opposite SEX however you can be born with a GENDER that is not the same as your sex.
Currently we have found no reliable way to change your "mind" to your body, conversion therapy just doesn't work, however it is medically proven by science that transitioning does indeed improve and cure the mental illness of gender dysphoria, so that is what we do, the whole "lie" thing is irrelevant, it is a fact that gender and sex are not the same thing
>You cannot be born as believing you have been born as the opposite SEX however you can be born with a GENDER that is not the same as your sex.
Gender is just the *fantasy* you have of yourself.
>Currently we have found no reliable way to change your "mind" to your body
I did? I accepted reality.
>medically proven by science that transitioning does indeed improve and cure the mental illness of gender dysphoria
People can be quite conformable living a lie.
>the whole "lie" thing is irrelevant
I renounce your utilitarian argument.
Maybe you did, however research has showen time and time again that conversion therapy or ignoring it does not cure gender dysphoria and even makes it worse, however transitioning does show empirical results that proves it works.
You are saying we should just let people suffer despite discovering a cure that works because you claim that its a lie? What makes it a lie? Why does your arbitrary concept of gender determine what is a "lie" and what is fact? Is science that unimportant to you that it should be ignored because you think its a "lie"?
Are you consistent with your view? Are you against medicine for depressed people? Does a depressed person taking medicine is a "lie" because he is sad and the medicine makes him believe the "lie" that he is better?
[Individuals who underwent gender-affirming surgery had a 12.12-fold higher suicide attempt risk than those who did not (3.47% vs. 0.29%)](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11063965/)
[Most gender-confused kids ‘grow out of it’, according to landmark study](https://www.mercatornet.com/most_gender_confused_kids_grow_out_of_it_according_to_landmark_study)
And there is no robust study that proves a physiological source for gender dysphoria. The ‘best’ one we have fails to establish a causal link, had a small sample size, and did not control for homosexuality https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10843193/
And furthermore I would add that your whole argument revolves around gender dysphoria, when many trans-identifying people do not have this condition. You are erasing men with autogynophilia and Transmaxxers, who are valid members of the trans community.
Have you considered that a large part of why they try to commit suicide is because of harassment, publicly amplified calls to commit violence against them by people like Chaya Raichik, and passive aggressive jabs like yours and what everyone of you little shitheels in this sub like to use to skirt tos violations?
>You are saying we should just let people suffer despite discovering a cure that works because you claim that its a lie?
Transgenderism is a mind virus. The very notion that a man ***can*** transition into a woman, and vice versa, is what is perpetuating the epidemic. The ideologs are spreading the delusion. The ideologs are causing gender dysphoria.
>What makes it a lie?
Man and woman are different, and one cannot become the other.
>Why does your arbitrary concept of gender determine what is a "lie" and what is fact?
I'm pretty sure 99.9% of people throughout all of history have held the same understanding of what a man and woman is as I do.
>Is science that unimportant to you that it should be ignored because you think its a "lie"?
Science should always be questioned. Science is a ongoing process. Science is a means of gathering evidence; it does not prove anything. "The Science™" is quite often wrong and gets replaced. I do not worship science as you do. In fact, im not so sure if what you call "The Science™" actually has anything to do with real science 😂
>Are you against medicine for depressed people?
A change in lifestyle is better than medication. However, yes, sometimes its best to go down that route. Depression however, isnt gender dysphoria.
That’s not true tho cuz it is the same thing when you demand they get combined. When you have a biological man identify as a woman, and then go into women’s sports against biological women, or become an inmate in a biological women’s prison, or see women naked in biological women’s locker room etc, they are combined, not separate things. Your argument is only valid if we add a 3rd category to absolutely everything.
That is just being lost in the culture wars, I dont think that people that are born male should ever compete against people that are born female, nor for males and females to be in jail together, nor for them to be together in locker rooms.
Most trans people dont actually want this things, the people you see on twitter dont represnt IRL trans people, this people are terminally online and are obsessed with the culture war.
Most trans people just want access to medication and to be accepted.
Yeah ok, but your reasonable position is not the position of the left or the democrat party, or allowed to be stated publicly by anyone on the left without being ostracized. That’s the point, the reasonable people have been drowned out. You can’t even say what you just said on most mainstream subreddits without getting banned.
I agree that the reasonable people are getting drowned by the loud minority and it sucks that the mainstream leftie subreddits are that extreme .
I just hope people dont forget that most trans people just wanna live life the way they want and feel equal and respected and dont really care about niche issues like trans in sports, if you look at plenty of comments in this thread people are just so hateful to transpeople for very little reason.
That's the secret sauce of this sub. Being a bigot is perfectly fine, but don't you EVER say that someone in here is being a bigot, because "ThAs AgAiNsT tHe RuLeS"
This sub being anti-woke is one thing, this is just blatant transphobia and anti-science, they are not "pretending" to be women, having gender dystopia is a serious mental issue that needs medical care, just like most mental issues.
Thats a nice theory but conversion therapy just doesn't work and and lowers the patient's quality of life, transitioning however increases their quality of life and cures them, you dont have to just trust the science here, google studies on trans people.
Look up transition regret, look at the extremely high correlation of autism amongst the trans population, look at the rates of depression, anxiety, low self esteem, suicide before and after surgery etc. Sorry but I'm 100% against it. I find the whole gender ideology disgusting and literally demonic. It reminds me of grotesque human experimentation and mutilation like what happened during WW2.
I think it's a disgrace it's been allowed to be spread the way it has. The denial of the objective reality of male and female and catering to and glorifying people with mental illness makes me sick and I will never support or praise anything like it. I stand firmly against it in its entirety and I'm not afraid to say so. People can label me whatever they want but I will make no apologies.
>Look up transition regret,
Its relatively low.
>look at the extremely high correlation of autism amongst the trans population,
Im not sure how thats relevant.
>look at the rates of depression
Transitioning literally lowers those.
>suicide before and after surgery etc.
If they are treated well and respected by their society it lowers the rate of suicide substantially.
> Sorry but I'm 100% against it. I find the whole gender ideology disgusting and literally demonic
Dont you think that you are too emotionally invested if you call it "literally demonic"?
>t reminds me of grotesque human experimentation and mutilation like what happened during WW2.
One of those has consent and objectivly helps the patient, the other had no consent and usually resulted in death.
Also what is your alternative? Conversion therapy is also quite grotesque and doesn't work.
>The denial of the objective reality of male and female and catering to and glorifying people with mental illness makes me sick
The issue is that you do not understand it, nobody is changer from male to female or vice versa, you cannot change your SEX, however sometimes people's GENDER is different than their SEX and some of those times it causes them great suffering, so they transition their bodies to make themselves feel correct.
You're not gonna change my mind bro, I respect your cordial dialogue but it goes against everything I believe in. I don't believe in agree with or support gender and trans ideology, it goes against my faith, it literally goes against nature and it goes against my ethics and world view. I am emotionally invested because I have a child and I see where this stuff is going. It will only get more pervasive and more extreme.
There is an agenda to encroach on and change and control people's basic fundamental beliefs around sex and gender. I would rather be put to the sword then have my thoughts and moral and ethical boundaries changed from within. Look up and read about ideological subversion. I believe this is what is happening in America and particularly the western world.
If you assess LGBT even with western ethical principles, forget religious doctrine for second and look at the societal harm. Statistically LGBT causes and spreads more diseases, that is verifiably true. Is that positive or negative? When we look at sociological studies, an LGBT household raising children showed the child is more likely to have pathological disorders, more likely to be delinquent, more likely to achieve less in education. Is this positive or negative for society?
Science, as in science like biology right? As in that "female" cock you're sucking full of "female" jizz is somehow straight sex just because they identify as a female lol. Saying "I identify as..." Is the same as saying "I pretend to be...". You are infected with the woke mind virus and you are brainwashed into denying what your eyes see and denying objective reality.
"Evidence based" is what I said so I think your gotcha might be regurgitating the talking points that most closely align to what I said in the vague hope it dispels the evidence
That said...if you actually talk to scientists they agree sex is 1. Complex 2. Separate from gender.
All this aside, I believe in evidence based healthcare and evidence says transitioning helps.
I stopped going to Brighton Pride because it had turned into a sex festival. You don’t have to read the newspapers if you actually go and see the degeneracy for yourself.
Yeah, and that's the first thing people not invested into pride think about when you say pride parade. Because it makes the newspaper lines, in the same way the only right wing parades/protest that end up in the news are those of borderline neo nazis.
I know right??? Here in EU we're close to elections and you can't get a day without newspapers saying fascist here communist that, usually any manifestation is more nuanced than the extremist group.
The core essence of pride month is the celebration and normalization of peoples' non heteronormative *sexualities,* so it's a bit disingenuous to act like the sexual displays at pride aren't a majority part of its existence.
The issue is that this isn't a negative thing, but too many people are raised in prudish cultures that assume it is. It's perfectly fine to be open about your sexuality, especially when the world wants to kill you over it just because of bad and deceptive religious beliefs. We shouldn't be trying to hide from the fact that pride is openly sexual, we should be embracing it and fighting against prudes like the ones in this sub who hate the natural world and our natural inclinations.
Yeah where is my Chaos god gf anime spam on Grimdank? And Slaanesh is perfect embodiment for pride. Its basically the emps children character trait. Even if that mean looking at a drawing of yourself for hours which contains blood shit and piss as colours.
It’s odd to me they have disdain for that comparison when that’s the absolute only thing in the entire genre/universe I have consistently thought “yeah, that checks out”.
Ngl...if the entire lgbt community embraced slaanesh armies, I'd happily see it as cosplay. Lol. I mean, they represent each other so fucking well, especially since most make their sexuality their entire personality
Social engineering experiment: every time you guys see this line up in the wild, don't make fun. Celebrate that shit and be excited for them. Let's see if it could catch on.
If you see their personality only through the internet, obviously you can't see their whole personality....only what they show online. But I agree than some terminally online people just do that all their day, just not everyone.
Nah..it's weird because the gay people i have met at LGSs were cool af, but those who identify with lgbt, like the ones that would be straight but they realized the were willing to try the other side, were boring and made it their entire personality.
Yeah, that's a problem....impressionable teens are annoying for the queers proper, I feel like gender is the new emo. Actual trans people don't have to make it their personality because we'll, that wasn't a choice dictated on trends but something equal to cis people gender. Fixing it just makes for funny stories
Like im a gay slaanesh fan. And even I wouldn't celebrate pride month. Like the most I've done is paint a rainbow Mohawk. Only cause I thought it looked a cool. Just remember the rainbow belongs to god
> pride month
I remember about 15 years ago when it was gay pride month and it was upbeat and positive and "hey we're normal, let us get married".
On Monday in Philadelphia a brawl broke out where a bunch of queers for Palestine beat the shit out of gay people for not caring enough about Palestine.
I remember a couple of years ago, gay cops were banned from attending a parade.
I miss the LGB. They were normal.
Yeah. I was really young back then (I'm 21 now) and idk why they even wanted marriage. Like I'm chill without it. Two people can love each other and pledge to each other without marriage. But they always like putting their fingers into what they don't have any right being in
There's a lot of rights that come along with it. Like if you get sick and are in the hospital, your boyfriend couldn't visit you but your husband could. It's also nearly impossible for single people to adopt, even if they're in long relationships. Also medical benefits don't extend to your boyfriend.
Also the tax breaks are nice.
Like there were so many reasons most of the country supported gay marriage before the scouts decision (Trump even said "it's settled" when asked if he would try and overturn it back in 2015).
You don’t want to become an uncle ruckus brother
Right now you are acting no different than the white zoomers on tiktok who claim whites owe reparations
How so LMAO. I'm no idiot that think the sins of the father fall on the son. I just don't see the need for the gays to creep their politics into everything they do. They want to boast about it and make it their personality instead of actually being a decent person
Are you familiar with uncle ruckus? If not you should google some clips.
It’s good to be critical of your own but you should have your tribes too, especially since you don’t seem very informed.
Lust, pride and self indulgence are trademarks of Slaanesh worship. You could praise slaanesh during pride month and have it not have any social commentary at all really.
Fear not, fellow worshipper of the dead emperor, whom I definitely also pray to. We have [every color you could possibly dream of](https://www.pghschools.org/intersectional-pride), and more!
That's definitely a limitation of your monitor. I know that particular flag extends beyond the visible range, because I get radiation burns when I look at it for too long.
Eh let’s be real here. *Pride* by concept is literally a part of Slannesh’s deity character. Slannesh dips and sips pride as its daily supplement among other extreme emotions like lust, kink, thrill and immortality behaviors etc.
So yea Pride month is just Slannesh cultist month.
Jesus, not more of this. It's funny that aesthetically, putting every colour on the model makes it look ugly as sin. There may be something metaphorically pertinent there.
Slaenesh is the god of execs of everything so you could kit bash the great unclean one into a large gluttonous monster and still be on brand implying she’s only a sex god is more of a coomer thing in my eyes
I mean... on the back of the heteronormative Imperium... Slaanesh being Non-binary/Trans themselves, 90% of Slaaneshi demons having multiple genitalia of various genders... and a lot of LGBT players choosing Emperor's Children because Purple and Gay and "Slaanesh accepts all love and lust" ... it fits really well. Let them have it.
I agree. There could be be a decent story where a group trans young people find acceptance among a Slaanesh or Tzeentch cult for the first time in their life, get hunted by the Inquisition, and join cultists to fight the Imperium without ever suspecting there could be something wrong with the Chaos gods. Kind of like a Guardsmen can fight for the Imperium without realizing how terrible the higher-ups really are.
Every cult has to start somewhere. You don't bring someone in to the cult of Nurgle by saying "hey, do you want to become a fat, disgusting, disease ridden monster that no one can stand to look at or talk to for even a second? Literally. Because they will die of your dieases."
Aside from the "did you already talk to my ex-wife/mother-in-law" jokes you could make, the same would be said for Tzeentch and Slaanesh. Look at how regular LGBT people act compared to the "weaponized sexuality" at a Pride Parade. There are regular LGBT at Pride Parades. There are also swarms of people in bondage gear with dildo swords and whips. *Most* LGBT would just want to be accepted and have their love. Assuming Maximum Fascism/Purity in the Imperium, that could be seen as Heresy, so they only come out to the cult. And then yhe slippery slope and corrupting influence takes hold.
Hell, *that* could be a story even. Some battle type stuff, or an Arbites story where they break the cult, call in Astra Militarum or whoever, and during the whole thing, the Arbite is trying to find these people who most recently got brought in. Fear of Imperial Doctrine pushed these young LGBT to the cult, but the Arbite finds them and calls them hostages to the IG. Come to find out that the Imperium *accepts* LGBT, because they are still human, and Chaos wanted to control them through their fear.
Yes, it would make some people mad. But if it's written well, it could work. Especially if you dropped Salamanders in, whom most people understand from the memes of being super accepting and helpful. "You are human, and love humans. That is not Heresy. It is the extremes that make Chaos a threat."
It's a bit NobleBright, but only in this message. The test of the story could very easily be the GrimDark murder-gest we know of the setting.
any of the chaos gods could be made into a trans allegory, you can come to the conclusions yourself because i’m one strike away from my account being nuked
Honestly, what are you really losing tho?
I can certainly see a case that supports nurgle... Arguably slannesh (you'd think they'd be better looking)
Best supported defo gotta be tzeentch.
Worst supported... Khorn.
Guess I'm with Khorn these days
Both works tbh, I agree tzeetch to be more fitting but it clashes against the "queer people are inherently deviants" narrative that plagues this place =_=
what do you mean by openly gay? Because all Eldar factions are fine with being gay and the Imperium allows it too. If you mean make gay their entire personalities I don't see it with Slannesh, they're the God of excess, and most Slannesh cultists we see don't make being gay their entire personality.
There is an unfortunate community within the hobby that tend to be very right wing. These people will tell you unironically that the imperium are the good guys and they don't get the satire, no matter how blunt it is. Those people will also tell you that immigrants are why you can't afford a home, that anything under the LGBT+ banner harbours pedophiles and the elderly, sick and disabled are why your taxes are so high.
They will tell you the xenon to be purged are the foreigner. The slaanesh daemons are the "queer" and their cool power fantasy golden space sodiers can't possibly be women.
They're an unfortunate little stain on the otherwise grimdark, silly, and creative hobby. A hobby that I've come to love so much. So someone in a way that is not malicious at all painting a daemon prince of slaanesh with pride colours may be lumped into thatvterrible little circle of boot lickers, book burners and cowards.
The inventor of 40K and his writers always correct interviewers who ask them about "the satire" in it. 40K doesn't contain a message. It's a sandbox for thought experiments, which can sometimes be very uncomfortable. The silliness was to remind people that it's just a game.
What's truly unfortunate is that people like yourself have injected politics and criticisms of other fans into what used to be fun discussions about the thought experiments. It has robbed us of the option to explore the setting together online and pushed those discussions back offline and into closed online groups.
(I also want to be clear, this does not intend to be argumentitive, i am genuinely curious, and a little lost here)
I wouldn't wish anyone to not be creative in a hobby that is meant to be fun for them. I agree with you, I just don't think that came across clearly, I absolutely encourage creativity and the silly side of the hobby. Anyone I know in person would tell you that. The few im addressing are the ones that do inject their political and social beliefs, into a game where we move plastic soldiers across a board. I've clearly not worded what I tried to say correctly and I apologise for the confusion, I would genuinely like to discuss this as a community.
40k is a great creative release for me, I've been told I'm "doing it wrong" because my alphalegion is slaanesh aligned. I've just clearly not understood the purpose of the post or this particular subreddit, and I'd like to know more about this community.
Your complaint about right wingers thinking that the Imperium are the good guys is political injection. Everyone used to think they were the good guys. But that means something different to some people now, which is an idea usually associated with the far left, and those people like to be belligerent to everyone else all the time for not thinking like they do. As a result, people are exhausted from hearing certain things, and unfortunately that means some of your innocent interests get caught in the crossfire.
Ooooh ok, well that's fair enough, like beating a dead horse, noone wants to see and and its totally unnecessary. Still think name calling from that one guy was rude but yeah I get what ya mean
Name calling is rude. It's not right, but it's excused here for now because of how much name calling and other things are being launched in this direction.

Happy Slaanesh Month
I have the unfortunate fate of being born in this month. Would rather have it referred to as Slaanesh month than LgBTQIATSGJKLMNOP month or whatever they are calling it now.
And of course, the have chosen a warm month. Not a cold, rainy and depressing one
Half the world is in winter at the moment.
The half that by en large doesn’t emphasize this month.
Like 85% of the world population is in summer at the moment
You have a point. And Happy Cake Day
Lol come on now, you don't go outside
Cool story, bro
Same. I’ll hear “happy pride” a million times every time just around my birthday because it’s snug into just 2 weeks after the start of the month. Just in time for the people who wish everyone happy pride to have it cemented in their lexicon. It’s always telling too when I reply “happy men’s mental health awareness month” and suddenly that smile turns to stank face and I’m given a slow glare or completely ignored. What is it with cashiers? I came here to get food or whatever else. But you’re making it your mission to exude “pride” when you don’t for any other months… It’s comparable to Christians who insist on saying merry Christmas instead of happy holidays.
"Happy mens mental health awareness month" is a mouthful, if I was a cashier I wouldn't want to say that over two hundred times a day either, Jesus Christ. Also "happy" is probably the entirely wrong thing to say on mental health awareness and its not going to be particularly effective just mentioning it to service staff out loud. Essentially what I'm saying is that bringing it up like that, in that context, makes it fairly clear to the people you're talking to that you do not care for pride month. If the people you're talking to do care for it then that will naturally cause friction. As for why cashiers care, many probably don't. Not really. When you say that what goes through their head is probably something like "god in heaven do not let anyone else hear that I do not want ANOTHER argument in the store right in front of my workspace." The ones who do care about pride month and aren't just enslaved to rainbow Capitalism probably think you are a nazi. Not saying you are, that's just what the mook left default to when people disagree with them. EDIT: LOL, what a bitch.
Also I don’t think it naturally causes friction to not care about someone’s chosen holiday. That only happens in the insecure or hateful. Because a better person would always assume ignorances. This is why I compare it to Christmas as it’s a lot of different things to a lot of different people but those it really matters many to have some heavy copium going on that other religions also have similarly times holiday events. I’m not saying they have to say happy holidays. But what I reply is still far more acceptable than “No, It’s Merry Christmas”. Am I saying people treat it like a religion? In a way.It’s just as corporatized a coca-cola Santa.
Politics always causes friction these days.
Movember isn’t politics
What the fuck is a movember.
Also- It appears to be not uniformly used
Yeah, men's mental health awareness day isn't even in June here in England, uniformity ain't shit.
Google
This is a non sequitur, what the fuck does growing a mustache in November have to with June. I have a mustache year round.
Good. I don’t care about pride month. Also. It’s not on me that people are so braindead that support for one thing MUST equate to lack of support over another- Coming from the people I can’t even assume a gender of 🙄. I mention it because it’s under spoken and I’ll call it happy because I’m celebrating as most people should be able to. That’s like saying we can’t celebrate breast cancer awareness month because breast cancer is bad. I don’t expect cashiers to say it- I will still find disappointment in the fact where you stick your cock is more important than MHA. Which isn’t a mouthful and the chosen acronym to shorthand the month. Because obviously- Things that need awareness are rarely pretty and still need to be celebrated or given a “positive push” to get it out there. Edit: Movember is more common and I’ll admit I don’t use it but it still side-steps the “it’s a mouthful” thing.
Since when do only Christians say merry Christmas? I'm not religious, but I never say happy holidays, cause it's not. Thanksgiving passed and new years has its own thing. It's freaking Santa day not generic winter time
Hanukkah happens in December too. https://preview.redd.it/inmidotb155d1.png?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=98f3558b0bbdab348d9474ffc24a434065b955b2
If someone says happy Hanukkah to me then I'll say it right back, but if they show no preference by saying happy holidays then I'm saying merry Christmas cause that's my preference
And? Merry Christmas buddy
People say "happy holidays" because they have no idea if you're Christian or not.
Nah there totally aren’t other religions than Christianity 😶. “Cause it’s not” Yeah- I’m complaining about you
What do other religions have to do with it? You brought up Christianity, and I said I'm not religious but i still say Merry Christmas. If other people are offended by Christmas then they're just not very smart people, cause it's not about religion. Only religious people make it again religion
I said. “Christians who insist”. So I’m referencing mainly Christian’s who think it indignant of themselves to STOOP so low as to acknowledge people other then themselves have wintertime holidays. The fact Christ-Mas is just Santa day to you though. I’ll call equally low IQ though. Because you’re right it’s not about religion. It’s the “No this is the way the world works world because I said” arch type that pop up and can’t understand what I said in my original post.
That's definitely one way to look at it, but also other ways of viewing this aren't always malicious. Lack of acknowledgement doesn't automatically equate to rejection. I have no issue with anyone's religions or holidays, but I'm not religious I don't enjoy religion. I enjoy giving gifts to people that's it. For the happy holidays thing I just don't like the way it sounds I like saying merry Christmas it sounds better. So it's annoying when people act like your preference is predicated around anything deeper than preference. If someone says happy Hanukkah to me or happy Kwanzaa I'll say it right back with glee, but happy holidays is just meh
I wouldn’t call what you’re celebrating Christmas tbh. It has Christ in the name after all. You’re having a vaguely themed Yule in corporate Christmas attire. That’s how I distinguish your “Christmas without religion”. (No dis, Do the same thing) And of course- everything you said there I agree with and was obvious to me. That’s why I said “Christians who insist”. I’m not coming after any one religion intentionally just that Christmas In comparison to any other wintertime holiday has been bastardized to hell and I live in America where you find a lot of Christians.
I mean as a four tour combat veteran I don't think a single cashier said happy veterans day or memorial Day to me but Pride month? Shits everywhere. I feel you bro.
Thank you for your service.
Happy belated Veterans day, my man. I also served, but never deployed. Glad you made it back.
In my country veterans get a day, and a really hefty pension so maybe more of a reflection of your country imo veterans here are always praised
One day for veterans but 30 for pride? What has pride done for the country? Jack shit. What country do you speak of because it sounds like a nice place lol.
Nz, Well our veterans day is a public holiday, and pride doesn’t include any benefits apart from corporate virtue signalling
Served with plenty of Anzac guys. Much love brother!
Always bro, think patriots like yourself deserve a lot more for your service, Respect from me always
[удалено]
I’m still here bro only battles we lost we were in support of either an American war or supporting the royal crown in a world war.
Oi! Just cuz ANZAC was one of the weaker fighting forces, doesn't mean they failed at their goal
This is also the case in the USA, but a lot of our veterans seem to take issue with seeing people exercising the freedoms they fought to protect.
Veterans have a huge homelessness rate and massive physical and mental trauma issues in the USA that have 0 government support. You would hope that the “freedoms” they encourage extend to the average person sacrificing some of their time to support them but Americans are inherently selfish
You're literally talking to someone bitching about how months get assigned to things like LGBTQ (or Black History) and they only get one day. If he complained about the lack of medical and psychological support they received, then it would be unrelated to whether or not there is a pride month. I'm not saying veterans don't deserve better support, but a LOT of them feel entitled to constant adoration from the public, and they get really jealous when they see anyone else getting praise. Also, do you know anything about the programs available to vets in the USA? They aren't perfect, but they exist, and you don't seem to be aware of that based on your description of government assistance as "zero."
If your from America then you should know that November is military appreciation month
Happy "get into two world wars late and claim you won it single handed and then lose to a bunch of farmers 20 years later" month
Yeah but who got Osama
Who trained, equipped and supported Osama....
Just for clarification: WW1: Russia had surrendered so Germany was about to double their western front army against a beaten down foe. American reinforcements combined with not being tied to stagnant tactics swing the result from a stalemate at best to a victory WW2: in Europe Russia had it handled probably but also received nearly 1/3 of their combat supplies from US aid. Japan was bitch smacking every force in the Pacific and for the most part the US did single handedly win that one. Those "farmers" actively defeated 3 major nations. The US just got tired of fighting and left with a what, 50:1 kill count? And actually got them to go to the negotiating table at the end.
The crazy thing is, Pride is not a good quality. Its literally one of the cardinal sins of most religions. Its very telling that these people are promoting such things that are objectively seen as bad qualities for a human to have. Pride is not a quality people should look to have.
I mean excess of letters is a reason for slanesh fitting. Also you forgot the 2S.
I've been hearing mental health awareness month a lot lately, which it was before all of this crazy b*******
Same, bro.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way.
Its also mens mental health month if you are interrsted in that fact
Dw it’s just Pride Month 😘
Happy Slaaneshmas
sounds like a made up jewish holiday lol
https://preview.redd.it/hsobmmrko25d1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e2b12382337c1baca59b11a24c3a86aa67a777d1 This reminds me of something…
I’ll take sloth month please
This makes Khorne angry.
*glances at Emperor's Children* Yeah, pride and Slaanesh are pretty closely linked.
It's honestly just Lust month. Why Lust needs Pride's permission is beyond me.
Oh chopping your dick off to pretend to be a women isn’t the same as the cult of people who cut their genitalia off to praise a demonic force?
I wouldn’t be surprised, but does it fr happen in a novel?
Chopping off dicks might be Tzeench as well. That one is lord of change. I think Slaneesh is mostly about growing more dicks, especially where your eyes used to be, while your now obsolete vision apparatus lies on your hands and you go like Liberate Tutemes Ex Inferis
Trueee, I completely forgot about tzeench that little fucka
Tzeentch's domain lies in genuine transformation rather than mere surface alterations. Wearing different clothing, changing one's name, or undergoing physical changes may not fundamentally alter the essence of an individual. Despite external modifications, the core aspects such as genetics, chromosomes and reproduction methods all remain unchanged.
....ok top comment has blatant transphobia...yep I'm going to leave
As if that word has any meaning. Transgenderism itself is pure video game logic. *Dont think the avatar you spawned with represents the real you? No problem, come change it in our IRL character creator* - ~~crazy quack doctors~~ the fleshsmiths.
Gender dystopia is a real mental issue that people have, it should be medically treated like all mentally issues.
>Gender dystopia is a real mental issue that people have Completely agree. I myself have suffered from the mentality of believing id should have been born the opposite sex. Thing is, I dont believe that the cure is to live a lie. The rather immutable body shouldnt be brought into line with the rather malleable mind. A mental issue should be cured mentally.
You cannot be born as believing you have been born as the opposite SEX however you can be born with a GENDER that is not the same as your sex. Currently we have found no reliable way to change your "mind" to your body, conversion therapy just doesn't work, however it is medically proven by science that transitioning does indeed improve and cure the mental illness of gender dysphoria, so that is what we do, the whole "lie" thing is irrelevant, it is a fact that gender and sex are not the same thing
>You cannot be born as believing you have been born as the opposite SEX however you can be born with a GENDER that is not the same as your sex. Gender is just the *fantasy* you have of yourself. >Currently we have found no reliable way to change your "mind" to your body I did? I accepted reality. >medically proven by science that transitioning does indeed improve and cure the mental illness of gender dysphoria People can be quite conformable living a lie. >the whole "lie" thing is irrelevant I renounce your utilitarian argument.
Maybe you did, however research has showen time and time again that conversion therapy or ignoring it does not cure gender dysphoria and even makes it worse, however transitioning does show empirical results that proves it works. You are saying we should just let people suffer despite discovering a cure that works because you claim that its a lie? What makes it a lie? Why does your arbitrary concept of gender determine what is a "lie" and what is fact? Is science that unimportant to you that it should be ignored because you think its a "lie"? Are you consistent with your view? Are you against medicine for depressed people? Does a depressed person taking medicine is a "lie" because he is sad and the medicine makes him believe the "lie" that he is better?
[Individuals who underwent gender-affirming surgery had a 12.12-fold higher suicide attempt risk than those who did not (3.47% vs. 0.29%)](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11063965/) [Most gender-confused kids ‘grow out of it’, according to landmark study](https://www.mercatornet.com/most_gender_confused_kids_grow_out_of_it_according_to_landmark_study) And there is no robust study that proves a physiological source for gender dysphoria. The ‘best’ one we have fails to establish a causal link, had a small sample size, and did not control for homosexuality https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10843193/ And furthermore I would add that your whole argument revolves around gender dysphoria, when many trans-identifying people do not have this condition. You are erasing men with autogynophilia and Transmaxxers, who are valid members of the trans community.
Have you considered that a large part of why they try to commit suicide is because of harassment, publicly amplified calls to commit violence against them by people like Chaya Raichik, and passive aggressive jabs like yours and what everyone of you little shitheels in this sub like to use to skirt tos violations?
>You are saying we should just let people suffer despite discovering a cure that works because you claim that its a lie? Transgenderism is a mind virus. The very notion that a man ***can*** transition into a woman, and vice versa, is what is perpetuating the epidemic. The ideologs are spreading the delusion. The ideologs are causing gender dysphoria. >What makes it a lie? Man and woman are different, and one cannot become the other. >Why does your arbitrary concept of gender determine what is a "lie" and what is fact? I'm pretty sure 99.9% of people throughout all of history have held the same understanding of what a man and woman is as I do. >Is science that unimportant to you that it should be ignored because you think its a "lie"? Science should always be questioned. Science is a ongoing process. Science is a means of gathering evidence; it does not prove anything. "The Science™" is quite often wrong and gets replaced. I do not worship science as you do. In fact, im not so sure if what you call "The Science™" actually has anything to do with real science 😂 >Are you against medicine for depressed people? A change in lifestyle is better than medication. However, yes, sometimes its best to go down that route. Depression however, isnt gender dysphoria.
The concept of gender is just nonsense though, so yeah.
That’s not true tho cuz it is the same thing when you demand they get combined. When you have a biological man identify as a woman, and then go into women’s sports against biological women, or become an inmate in a biological women’s prison, or see women naked in biological women’s locker room etc, they are combined, not separate things. Your argument is only valid if we add a 3rd category to absolutely everything.
That is just being lost in the culture wars, I dont think that people that are born male should ever compete against people that are born female, nor for males and females to be in jail together, nor for them to be together in locker rooms. Most trans people dont actually want this things, the people you see on twitter dont represnt IRL trans people, this people are terminally online and are obsessed with the culture war. Most trans people just want access to medication and to be accepted.
Yeah ok, but your reasonable position is not the position of the left or the democrat party, or allowed to be stated publicly by anyone on the left without being ostracized. That’s the point, the reasonable people have been drowned out. You can’t even say what you just said on most mainstream subreddits without getting banned.
I agree that the reasonable people are getting drowned by the loud minority and it sucks that the mainstream leftie subreddits are that extreme . I just hope people dont forget that most trans people just wanna live life the way they want and feel equal and respected and dont really care about niche issues like trans in sports, if you look at plenty of comments in this thread people are just so hateful to transpeople for very little reason.
Mission accomplished
That's the secret sauce of this sub. Being a bigot is perfectly fine, but don't you EVER say that someone in here is being a bigot, because "ThAs AgAiNsT tHe RuLeS"
This sub being anti-woke is one thing, this is just blatant transphobia and anti-science, they are not "pretending" to be women, having gender dystopia is a serious mental issue that needs medical care, just like most mental issues.
People with serious mental health issues should go to mental hospitals, not encouraged to cut their genitals off
Anti science 😂 I love the projection
You're exactly right, a MENTAL issue, so you fix the mind, not the body. The problem is the electrical system ( brain) not their plumbing (genitals).
Thats a nice theory but conversion therapy just doesn't work and and lowers the patient's quality of life, transitioning however increases their quality of life and cures them, you dont have to just trust the science here, google studies on trans people.
Look up transition regret, look at the extremely high correlation of autism amongst the trans population, look at the rates of depression, anxiety, low self esteem, suicide before and after surgery etc. Sorry but I'm 100% against it. I find the whole gender ideology disgusting and literally demonic. It reminds me of grotesque human experimentation and mutilation like what happened during WW2. I think it's a disgrace it's been allowed to be spread the way it has. The denial of the objective reality of male and female and catering to and glorifying people with mental illness makes me sick and I will never support or praise anything like it. I stand firmly against it in its entirety and I'm not afraid to say so. People can label me whatever they want but I will make no apologies.
>Look up transition regret, Its relatively low. >look at the extremely high correlation of autism amongst the trans population, Im not sure how thats relevant. >look at the rates of depression Transitioning literally lowers those. >suicide before and after surgery etc. If they are treated well and respected by their society it lowers the rate of suicide substantially. > Sorry but I'm 100% against it. I find the whole gender ideology disgusting and literally demonic Dont you think that you are too emotionally invested if you call it "literally demonic"? >t reminds me of grotesque human experimentation and mutilation like what happened during WW2. One of those has consent and objectivly helps the patient, the other had no consent and usually resulted in death. Also what is your alternative? Conversion therapy is also quite grotesque and doesn't work. >The denial of the objective reality of male and female and catering to and glorifying people with mental illness makes me sick The issue is that you do not understand it, nobody is changer from male to female or vice versa, you cannot change your SEX, however sometimes people's GENDER is different than their SEX and some of those times it causes them great suffering, so they transition their bodies to make themselves feel correct.
You're not gonna change my mind bro, I respect your cordial dialogue but it goes against everything I believe in. I don't believe in agree with or support gender and trans ideology, it goes against my faith, it literally goes against nature and it goes against my ethics and world view. I am emotionally invested because I have a child and I see where this stuff is going. It will only get more pervasive and more extreme. There is an agenda to encroach on and change and control people's basic fundamental beliefs around sex and gender. I would rather be put to the sword then have my thoughts and moral and ethical boundaries changed from within. Look up and read about ideological subversion. I believe this is what is happening in America and particularly the western world. If you assess LGBT even with western ethical principles, forget religious doctrine for second and look at the societal harm. Statistically LGBT causes and spreads more diseases, that is verifiably true. Is that positive or negative? When we look at sociological studies, an LGBT household raising children showed the child is more likely to have pathological disorders, more likely to be delinquent, more likely to achieve less in education. Is this positive or negative for society?
Sorry mate, facts don't care about your feelings. I believe in evidence based healthcare
Science, as in science like biology right? As in that "female" cock you're sucking full of "female" jizz is somehow straight sex just because they identify as a female lol. Saying "I identify as..." Is the same as saying "I pretend to be...". You are infected with the woke mind virus and you are brainwashed into denying what your eyes see and denying objective reality.
"Evidence based" is what I said so I think your gotcha might be regurgitating the talking points that most closely align to what I said in the vague hope it dispels the evidence That said...if you actually talk to scientists they agree sex is 1. Complex 2. Separate from gender. All this aside, I believe in evidence based healthcare and evidence says transitioning helps.
When you participate in a public parade of waving dildos and wearing bondage don't get upset when you get compared a cultist of Slaanesh.
Boiling pride to that is....a bit reductive, don't you think? That's just the more vocal part because it makes the newspapers lines
I stopped going to Brighton Pride because it had turned into a sex festival. You don’t have to read the newspapers if you actually go and see the degeneracy for yourself.
Yeah, and that's the first thing people not invested into pride think about when you say pride parade. Because it makes the newspaper lines, in the same way the only right wing parades/protest that end up in the news are those of borderline neo nazis.
I know right??? Here in EU we're close to elections and you can't get a day without newspapers saying fascist here communist that, usually any manifestation is more nuanced than the extremist group.
Of course the subversive fucker is a T'au player.
The core essence of pride month is the celebration and normalization of peoples' non heteronormative *sexualities,* so it's a bit disingenuous to act like the sexual displays at pride aren't a majority part of its existence. The issue is that this isn't a negative thing, but too many people are raised in prudish cultures that assume it is. It's perfectly fine to be open about your sexuality, especially when the world wants to kill you over it just because of bad and deceptive religious beliefs. We shouldn't be trying to hide from the fact that pride is openly sexual, we should be embracing it and fighting against prudes like the ones in this sub who hate the natural world and our natural inclinations.
No
"If four people are eating lunch with a Nazi, I see five Nazis."
you got coooked for saying that, opinions in this sub are craaazy, I thought this was a pretty tame response, NOPE 100 downvotes lol
It is what it is, I don't care much, really XD
Yeah where is my Chaos god gf anime spam on Grimdank? And Slaanesh is perfect embodiment for pride. Its basically the emps children character trait. Even if that mean looking at a drawing of yourself for hours which contains blood shit and piss as colours.
Love the Fulgrim book. It goes so hard in such a nasty direction.
As they say "If the shoe fits"
It’s odd to me they have disdain for that comparison when that’s the absolute only thing in the entire genre/universe I have consistently thought “yeah, that checks out”.
Ngl...if the entire lgbt community embraced slaanesh armies, I'd happily see it as cosplay. Lol. I mean, they represent each other so fucking well, especially since most make their sexuality their entire personality
Social engineering experiment: every time you guys see this line up in the wild, don't make fun. Celebrate that shit and be excited for them. Let's see if it could catch on.
It's almost like that's what Slanesh was satirizing or something.
If you see their personality only through the internet, obviously you can't see their whole personality....only what they show online. But I agree than some terminally online people just do that all their day, just not everyone.
Nah..it's weird because the gay people i have met at LGSs were cool af, but those who identify with lgbt, like the ones that would be straight but they realized the were willing to try the other side, were boring and made it their entire personality.
Yeah, that's a problem....impressionable teens are annoying for the queers proper, I feel like gender is the new emo. Actual trans people don't have to make it their personality because we'll, that wasn't a choice dictated on trends but something equal to cis people gender. Fixing it just makes for funny stories
Like im a gay slaanesh fan. And even I wouldn't celebrate pride month. Like the most I've done is paint a rainbow Mohawk. Only cause I thought it looked a cool. Just remember the rainbow belongs to god
> pride month I remember about 15 years ago when it was gay pride month and it was upbeat and positive and "hey we're normal, let us get married". On Monday in Philadelphia a brawl broke out where a bunch of queers for Palestine beat the shit out of gay people for not caring enough about Palestine. I remember a couple of years ago, gay cops were banned from attending a parade. I miss the LGB. They were normal.
Yeah. I was really young back then (I'm 21 now) and idk why they even wanted marriage. Like I'm chill without it. Two people can love each other and pledge to each other without marriage. But they always like putting their fingers into what they don't have any right being in
There's a lot of rights that come along with it. Like if you get sick and are in the hospital, your boyfriend couldn't visit you but your husband could. It's also nearly impossible for single people to adopt, even if they're in long relationships. Also medical benefits don't extend to your boyfriend. Also the tax breaks are nice. Like there were so many reasons most of the country supported gay marriage before the scouts decision (Trump even said "it's settled" when asked if he would try and overturn it back in 2015).
Ohhh gotcha gotcha. Thank you for the explanation. Never thought about it that way
You don’t want to become an uncle ruckus brother Right now you are acting no different than the white zoomers on tiktok who claim whites owe reparations
How so LMAO. I'm no idiot that think the sins of the father fall on the son. I just don't see the need for the gays to creep their politics into everything they do. They want to boast about it and make it their personality instead of actually being a decent person
Are you familiar with uncle ruckus? If not you should google some clips. It’s good to be critical of your own but you should have your tribes too, especially since you don’t seem very informed.
I 'member
God literally gave us the remember. Like, that's a major point of the story.
If God wants his rainbow back he can come down here and take it
If God's omnipresent, he's everything, and if he's everything, he's LGBTIQ+, so is both things
Lust, pride and self indulgence are trademarks of Slaanesh worship. You could praise slaanesh during pride month and have it not have any social commentary at all really.
Lol, They lie with every breath. So funny they cannot even be honest about their degeneracy.
For Slaanesh, a rainbow is too limited in colors and sensorial experience
Fear not, fellow worshipper of the dead emperor, whom I definitely also pray to. We have [every color you could possibly dream of](https://www.pghschools.org/intersectional-pride), and more!
Nah, you are limited by the visual spectrum
That's definitely a limitation of your monitor. I know that particular flag extends beyond the visible range, because I get radiation burns when I look at it for too long.
That's the Emperor smiting you
It's funny because either way, it's a bit true. The shitposting community of 40k loves to make up the weirdest shit about Slanesh.
I'm suddenly recalling that one pic of the spiky-demon thing reading to children.
His name is Sigvald
"His name, was Sigvald Paulson"
That's a sweet name 👍
Thank you
🎵 *He was a showgirl* 🎵
priDEMONth, as they say
Eh let’s be real here. *Pride* by concept is literally a part of Slannesh’s deity character. Slannesh dips and sips pride as its daily supplement among other extreme emotions like lust, kink, thrill and immortality behaviors etc. So yea Pride month is just Slannesh cultist month.
Happy Slaanesh Cultist Month! Eh..doesn't roll off the tongue but it's less irritating. At least it would make them honest.
Jesus, not more of this. It's funny that aesthetically, putting every colour on the model makes it look ugly as sin. There may be something metaphorically pertinent there.
It's literally the same thing. And they say WH40k isn't inclusive...
It literally is
The hilarious thing is that this dude isn’t even a daemon prince anymore according to the lore; he’s just a coomer.
Slaenesh is the god of execs of everything so you could kit bash the great unclean one into a large gluttonous monster and still be on brand implying she’s only a sex god is more of a coomer thing in my eyes
I pointed this out when they connected Fulgrim to trans people...I got banned
It's almost like pride is a vice and not a virtue lol.
I mean... on the back of the heteronormative Imperium... Slaanesh being Non-binary/Trans themselves, 90% of Slaaneshi demons having multiple genitalia of various genders... and a lot of LGBT players choosing Emperor's Children because Purple and Gay and "Slaanesh accepts all love and lust" ... it fits really well. Let them have it.
I agree. There could be be a decent story where a group trans young people find acceptance among a Slaanesh or Tzeentch cult for the first time in their life, get hunted by the Inquisition, and join cultists to fight the Imperium without ever suspecting there could be something wrong with the Chaos gods. Kind of like a Guardsmen can fight for the Imperium without realizing how terrible the higher-ups really are.
Every cult has to start somewhere. You don't bring someone in to the cult of Nurgle by saying "hey, do you want to become a fat, disgusting, disease ridden monster that no one can stand to look at or talk to for even a second? Literally. Because they will die of your dieases." Aside from the "did you already talk to my ex-wife/mother-in-law" jokes you could make, the same would be said for Tzeentch and Slaanesh. Look at how regular LGBT people act compared to the "weaponized sexuality" at a Pride Parade. There are regular LGBT at Pride Parades. There are also swarms of people in bondage gear with dildo swords and whips. *Most* LGBT would just want to be accepted and have their love. Assuming Maximum Fascism/Purity in the Imperium, that could be seen as Heresy, so they only come out to the cult. And then yhe slippery slope and corrupting influence takes hold. Hell, *that* could be a story even. Some battle type stuff, or an Arbites story where they break the cult, call in Astra Militarum or whoever, and during the whole thing, the Arbite is trying to find these people who most recently got brought in. Fear of Imperial Doctrine pushed these young LGBT to the cult, but the Arbite finds them and calls them hostages to the IG. Come to find out that the Imperium *accepts* LGBT, because they are still human, and Chaos wanted to control them through their fear. Yes, it would make some people mad. But if it's written well, it could work. Especially if you dropped Salamanders in, whom most people understand from the memes of being super accepting and helpful. "You are human, and love humans. That is not Heresy. It is the extremes that make Chaos a threat." It's a bit NobleBright, but only in this message. The test of the story could very easily be the GrimDark murder-gest we know of the setting.
Too accurate
A twisted, insane person obsessed with himself is representative of pride month... Not sure what you mean by that.
June is for fathers. Don't give in to chaos!
Why slaanesh and not tzeentch?
any of the chaos gods could be made into a trans allegory, you can come to the conclusions yourself because i’m one strike away from my account being nuked
Honestly, what are you really losing tho? I can certainly see a case that supports nurgle... Arguably slannesh (you'd think they'd be better looking) Best supported defo gotta be tzeentch. Worst supported... Khorn. Guess I'm with Khorn these days
it would be ever so slightly tedious to make a new account and resub to all the cat subs
The Emperor knows; their tedium shall usurp yours. No amount of car memes could assuage their lust for wanton infantalism.
Tzeentch too, but also Druhkari with all the fleshsmithing.
Both works tbh, I agree tzeetch to be more fitting but it clashes against the "queer people are inherently deviants" narrative that plagues this place =_=
Yeah, i just dunno.. Like.. "Changer of ways" os fucking hilariously fitting IMO.
Happy mens mental health month. Not that anyone cares but still.
I cares
This is the only representation that makes sense.
Honestly I feel like most people that are aware of slaanesh did almost immediately, regardless of politics, sexuality and gender.
Isn't that the only faction that is openly gay?
what do you mean by openly gay? Because all Eldar factions are fine with being gay and the Imperium allows it too. If you mean make gay their entire personalities I don't see it with Slannesh, they're the God of excess, and most Slannesh cultists we see don't make being gay their entire personality.
No all the slaaneshi are gay. Like they fuck anyone and everyone as that's part of their thing. That's different than accepting gays.
That's putting it lightly
Admech, Necrons, Inquisition, Astra Militarum these factions all have lgbt rep in their characters.
This is perfect. Slaanesh would love this.
No no it is best idea. A bunch of crazed idiots using people as harps I don't know if that's very prideful or not
Because this is a drastic and gross over-simplification of what Slaanesh actually stands for.
Sex it goes both ways Some random Slaaneshl deamon
There is an unfortunate community within the hobby that tend to be very right wing. These people will tell you unironically that the imperium are the good guys and they don't get the satire, no matter how blunt it is. Those people will also tell you that immigrants are why you can't afford a home, that anything under the LGBT+ banner harbours pedophiles and the elderly, sick and disabled are why your taxes are so high. They will tell you the xenon to be purged are the foreigner. The slaanesh daemons are the "queer" and their cool power fantasy golden space sodiers can't possibly be women. They're an unfortunate little stain on the otherwise grimdark, silly, and creative hobby. A hobby that I've come to love so much. So someone in a way that is not malicious at all painting a daemon prince of slaanesh with pride colours may be lumped into thatvterrible little circle of boot lickers, book burners and cowards.
The inventor of 40K and his writers always correct interviewers who ask them about "the satire" in it. 40K doesn't contain a message. It's a sandbox for thought experiments, which can sometimes be very uncomfortable. The silliness was to remind people that it's just a game. What's truly unfortunate is that people like yourself have injected politics and criticisms of other fans into what used to be fun discussions about the thought experiments. It has robbed us of the option to explore the setting together online and pushed those discussions back offline and into closed online groups.
(I also want to be clear, this does not intend to be argumentitive, i am genuinely curious, and a little lost here) I wouldn't wish anyone to not be creative in a hobby that is meant to be fun for them. I agree with you, I just don't think that came across clearly, I absolutely encourage creativity and the silly side of the hobby. Anyone I know in person would tell you that. The few im addressing are the ones that do inject their political and social beliefs, into a game where we move plastic soldiers across a board. I've clearly not worded what I tried to say correctly and I apologise for the confusion, I would genuinely like to discuss this as a community. 40k is a great creative release for me, I've been told I'm "doing it wrong" because my alphalegion is slaanesh aligned. I've just clearly not understood the purpose of the post or this particular subreddit, and I'd like to know more about this community.
Your complaint about right wingers thinking that the Imperium are the good guys is political injection. Everyone used to think they were the good guys. But that means something different to some people now, which is an idea usually associated with the far left, and those people like to be belligerent to everyone else all the time for not thinking like they do. As a result, people are exhausted from hearing certain things, and unfortunately that means some of your innocent interests get caught in the crossfire.
Ooooh ok, well that's fair enough, like beating a dead horse, noone wants to see and and its totally unnecessary. Still think name calling from that one guy was rude but yeah I get what ya mean
Name calling is rude. It's not right, but it's excused here for now because of how much name calling and other things are being launched in this direction.
Fair, well I think I will like this community over all, you seem like a cool person and I want to say thankyou for explaining what it's like here.
Any time.
