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.

there are no goodies

I always liked the Tau but I never got further than painting some figures and playing one or two skirmishes with a friend. Do the Tau suck in some way?

Lore was updated to make the Tau suck.

I'm not too deep into 40k lore, but I think it ended up being something along the line of classic anti-communist brainworms, about how any good ideology is actually just a smokescreen so a small elite can rule over everyone with lies and manipulation, because obviously a society couldn't actually pursue a noble goal without there being an ulterior motive. Also, collectivism bad, individualism good, Tau bad for disrespecting :freeze-peach: and forcing ideology on others.
