When you get people showing up to events in neo Nazi iconography, being allowed to stay and play, and then the IP owner has to clarify (again) that they don't actually support hate groups? [0]

Or the community makes memes about a certain type of fan? [1]

That feels like a lot.

And I get it -- lots of people are too dumb for satire.

But when GW plays with fire they have a social safety responsibility to be extra cautious, not laissez faire 'Who could have ever forseen that burning trash in my house might lead to the entire building catching fire?'

Seems like an enormous leap to go from a Reddit post and an official condemnation of Nazi iconography to “a lot”.

No evidence beyond Medium articles and Reddit posts.

It's a very unfortunate thing that the 40k community has mythologized this large contingent of Nazis that is allegedly omnipresent yet never even a creepshot of them surfaces at events. I feel like many more people would love to join the community (which is great) but are scared off by this self-slander the community puts on itself.
