So Games Workshop just published a "40k is satire, nazis pls leave" statement. What do you nerds think? (hexbear.net)

Here's a link.

Does it fail as satire? Does this kind of thing work as good satire for specific people? Somebody explain.

I could never figure out how this kind of satire supposed to work.

Judging by the letter, it doesn't. But then people think I'm ridiculous for suggesting that maybe dressing up kids as storm troopers or Darth Vader isn't the greatest idea. So what do I know?

What idiot dresses their kids up as stormtroopers anyway? They were the faceless henchmen who just got owned every time they were on screen lol

I, too, am seriously creeped out by people who dress up as spacce nazis for funsies.

Seriously fucking weird shit. Like those storm trooper cosplay regiments. Wtf.

Yeah it's like read the fucking subtext, guys. I get that it's fiction but you're dressing up as very literal space Nazis. What kind of person would want to dress up as a stormtrooper when you could be a Jedi, or even a Clone Trooper?
