I've never encountered a Black Templar Fan and every time I hear people talk about them I feel like I should be thanking the Lord on my knees every day for that privilege

I think its kinda fucked that sometimes a Black Templars fan will randomly go on r/grimdank and post the kind of meme that you would expect to be made up for a strawman argument against Black Templars fans.

Like, come on dude, i WANT my dislike of Black Templars as a faction to just be for petty reasons that has to do with them in the actual setting! Please stop reinforcing the damn stereotypes about their fans!

85% of my dislike for Black Templars comes from their fanbase, to be honest. I think a lot of people dislike them for that reason. Even the regular people who like them completely understand that sentiment.

The only thing I really dislike about them lore-wise is the lack of adequate friction/punishment for their total disregard for authority in one of the most authoritarian regimes in the setting. They coast along way too much for what they get up to.

I've said before that one of my main dislikes with 40k fans is the utter lack of reading comprehension, or reading at all. Or engaging with the lore at all outside of YouTube shorts and memes, and letting that inform them utterly. The loudest parts of BT fanbase often turn that shit up to 11.

Did you know that Sigismund, the great founder of the Black Templars, didn't want to be an astartes? Or a warrior at all? He remained not wanting to be a warrior even after he became an astartes. He didn't like it, and did it for people who couldn't. Did you know he thought remembrancers were extremely brave people for going to battlefields without weapons, and that he admired them? Did you know that he didn't believe the Emperor's crusade would end? Not because of xenos or whatever. Because humanity was fundamentally incapable of avoiding conflict.

Now you know more about Sigismund than the average BT superfan screaming about women and stabbing T'au on Twitter! Feel empowered.

I find a lot of anti-elf posturing in fantasy pretty lame because people will shit on elves and then draw orc and goblin women looking like this:

From the comments "In my experience clothing on anyone looks best when it is done with confidence. We are all different shapes and sizes. I was really struck by your post on dressing well that included John Goodman in a faded t-shirt and jeans. He rocks it!"

Excellent advice, whatever gender or style one is looking for. Thank you

I'm a trans guy and Derek, I can tell you my wardrobe has improved a huge amount simply by reading your threads. The "dress for your body type" stuff never worked well for me; your threads about putting together an intentional look and for getting a good fit - that's 99% of the game.

I've blogged this before, and I'll blog it again.

Behond one if the funniest things ive seen on reddit in a hot minute

[robot-roadtrip-rants]

I care because the horribleness makes them interesting!!! I will list all the crimes and make you memorize them because they're delicious!!!!!!

a funny thing about having a Problematic Blorbo is that you'll periodically come across a post along the lines of "um let's not forget that [Blorbo] is a bad person..." listing their various crimes, and if you have a modicum of intellectual honesty you find yourself nodding along and saying yeah it's true... but it's the greyness of their character that makes them so compelling... At the same time though you have a little Saul Goodman in your ear going "your honor in their defense: who cares like omfgggg who caresssssss like come onnnnnn"
