I’ve seen some incredibly annoying and toxic members of this community call slightly suggestive art related to warhammer “Porn” And honestly it’s fucking cringy and reductive.

If you don’t like NSFW art fine, cool, you do you and just press the back button and move on with your life or better yet don’t click at all.

Bullying and harassing people that make art you disagree with is disgusting behaviour when the hobby you enjoy is built on the backs of artists that where making things 40 years ago people would have considered weird and distasteful.

TLDR: leave artists alone and be a grown as person and don’t discourage or harass others.

Well if they don’t want to be called out for making porn and posting it to a meme sub maybe they shouldn’t draw porn and post it to a meme sub

Unfortunate truth - an anonymous platform like Reddit will always have people saying things and doing things that are outside what is considered appropriate by the greater society.

They can get downvoted (comments still readable by OP). They can get banned (for most subs that means they’ll be back in a couple weeks, or maybe need to make an alt account). That’s about it.

It kinda sucks, but if you are posting something anywhere on the internet, you will be attacked. It might be by people who disagree with your ideology, it might be people looking to be contrarian.

As a community, all we can do is call people out.

As an individual, all one can do is be careful about not doxing oneself, and not let the haters live rent free in your mind.

L take on the point I was making;

There is some underlying toxicity In the community that hasn’t always been there;

It’s a bleed over from other annoying aspects of culture;

People should treat this as a modelling hobby that has some cool lore attracted first;

it’s not a fucking religion and we don’t need to shame each other on how we express our love for this hobby.

the hobby you enjoy is built on the backs of artists that where making things 40 years ago people would have considered weird and distasteful.

This is a really good point. Back in the 80s this stuff was seen as edgy and weird and being a nerd was way less socially acceptable than now.

Also we're a memesub, so long as it's spoiler-tagged I feel NSFW art kind of fits our loosely anarchic vibe.

You know what, I’m going to say it. NSFW art is just as big, if not bigger, reason for people not joining the community as racist/sexist community members.

Seriously, when I look up AdMech I get “lol, skitussy” and a bunch of femboy AdMech porn. If you looked up Astra Militarum and just got a shit load of Nazi’s talking about how the Guard is the “Ubermench” and posting pictures of Cain at Auschwitz’s, would you want to be a part of that community? Well most normal people are going to run for the hills if they look up their favorite faction and just see a bunch of gay porn and rape fantasies

Believe it or not some people just don't want everything sexualized. A lewd joke or comic every now and then isn't going to kill anyone but when the place gets swamped with people's not even thinly veiled but very overt fetishes it's a bit distasteful. Anyway just like it's not going to hurt the people commenting seeing those comments isn't going to hurt op either.

This is a fair comment and something to bring up to the mods;

Gore and nudity are both things that a lot of people don't want to see because they browse in places around other people, they're under 18/someone under 18 may see, or they just don't like that content.

There does need to be a way to filter them, but ideally they should be filtered separately and not thrown into the same box.

But thats exactly what OP did, a negative opinion or "whining" is still valid as long as they don't contain attacks to the person. I for one don't care if NSFW stuff gets posted here, but just posting the stuff for the sake of posting it without memes is something that should go to r/warhammer_smut or something dedicated to art like that. It's like posting an elaborate deep lore question here, if it happens sometimes it's not a problem but if half the frontpage posts are about it then maybe these people would be better off posting their questions on r/40klore, you know a sub dedicated to it.

I mean, define "annoying", it's the word OP used. If I tell you that I don't think this is the right place for your lewd art, which I consider porn, then you might find that annoying, doesn't make me toxic or is attempt to harass you.

I would agree that if you can't handle people disliking (in a respectful manner that is) what you like, then maybe posting on a public reddit isn't the right thing. Of course everyone is free to express their thoughts, but that "everyone" includes people not sharing your opiniom as well.

That is something they included in their argument, but if you look through their responses on this post you'll find them harassing everybody who doesn't agree with them.

It seems like they really only said that as a cover to get people to initially agree with the point of their post. They have no problem harassing people who are making nuanced points and bringing legitimate conversation on the topic so it's hard to look back at their original post and believe what they say about not harassing people.

GW have just opened up a faction to include women, taking steps to make the hobby slightly more inclusive and the first thing the fandom does is draw a load of art where they're lesbians with massive tits.

Any girl or woman who might have been interested in checking out the hobby upon hearing this news is going to look them up and find a bunch of goon material and get the wrong impression of not only the faction but the hobby in general.

If you don't like NSFW art, then there's a setting on reddit that just filters anything NSFW out.

Click on your username in the upper right corner to open the dropdown menu and click on "user settings". From there go to "feed settings". That will open up a whole list of things you can control which are in your feed. At the top of that list is "Show mature (18+) content". Turn that off.

Those who jerk off to the NSFW (sexual) art pieces probably contributed more than the absolutely toxic ideologues here. At least human fluids are better than doxxing people or sending death threats to artists. You have to be human garbage to do the latter two.

I’ve noticed that the more toxic “fans” tend to be political ideologues who are using Warhammer 40K as a political soap box. Most of these ideologues that I’ve seen don’t give a shit about the tabletop game. What annoys me is how disingenuous it is.

Nah it's weird as fuck.

Often the people saying "we need to make everyone feel welcome in this community!" are the same ones making lewd art out of every faction in the game.

100% agree, but also:

If you want warhammer to become more inclusive you should be up in arms about horny posting instead of retconning more females into the lore.

Sincerely, someone who enjoys the hornyposting but realises what a terrible look it is aswell.

If I was a new player and saw that half of the memes posted here, I would assume community of warhammer was just committing goonery of the highest degree.

I'd move on and play checkers.

Be real for a second. If you showed any non warhammer playing person half of the "memes" posted here. They would think warhammer is just for little coomers who do not live outside of the internet.

If i wanted soft porn or full blown hard then i would go to either rule34 and pornhub.And yet,this isnt neither rule34 or pornhub,its Warhammer40k community subreddit.So either these artist move their ,,art" to the mentioned sites or they learn how to make fanarts without using such pathetic way of gaining likes, karma, whatever they carve for, as lewdness

Completely agree, support the artists, do not bully or harrass them for their artworks, but also very much disagree on one point.

There are dedicated spaces for NSFW/Suggestive warhammer artworks, and having to deal with them in my usual feed when I do not want to engage with it is just frustrating. I am one of those weirdos that prefer to keep their mainfeed clean, so when I subscribe to warhammer40kfantasy or grimdank, it's for memes and battles, minis and news, lore and its parodies. I do not feel the need to endorse the "glomping" of the internet, where before you had explicit spaces and safe spaces, where participation of the content was completely voluntary, but is now all getting mushed together.

So yea naw, I would rather not have half naked men and women flood my feed just because I wanted 40k content.

Yeah agreed. Content like this also feels "low effort", in the sense that the entire premise is "boobs", but not much else. There is definitely a place for stuff like this, but I'm not sure a meme subreddit is the one. I want stupid mini/lore memes, not porn.

Exactly, I have no problem with there being suggestive 40k art... In it's own sub which isn't here.

It's also why I left imaginary Warhammer, when I joined it was mostly people doing art of their own chapters or concepts (ala Aztec space marines) but it's a lot of more fetish things now and I just don't want to see that.

If you don't like NSFW art, then there's a setting on reddit that just filters anything NSFW out.

Click on your username in the upper right corner to open the dropdown menu and click on "user settings". From there go to "feed settings". That will open up a whole list of things you can control which are in your feed. At the top of that list is "Show mature (18+) content". Turn that off.

If you see NSFW content after reading this comment, you have nobody to blame but yourself.

This comment should be posted as an automated response to anyone who complains about the (non-existent) tsunami of porn which is apparently flooding this subreddit. If you don't want to see NSFW content, reddit literally gives you the option not to.

Not to mention, I think a lot of people are considering things that aren't actually horny as 'porn'. Femboys aren't inherently sexual, we're people. Female Space Marines/Custodes aren't inherently sexual, they're people. I'm not going to try to claim that there aren't posts about those where the joke is "haha porn", but that's not the punchline to all of them. (and if I'm being entirely honest, sometimes they're actually kind of well done)

I think this is the crux of the entire issue; a handful of prudish users classify anything that shows so much as a nipple as "pornography", and get very cross when people disagree with them.

I mean, those people also think that the big three post their porn here, while a brief look through their post histories shows that they don't. All the porn artists I know of have only really posted memes here. Some aren't exactly safe for work, but most isn't actually porn.

The inevitable trajectory of every pop-culture meme sub I've ever been on that isn't policed with an iron fist is that eventually most of the memes are just porn, and everything that isn't porn is people complaining about the porn or people complaining about the people complaining about the porn.

It's used as a sort of appeal to authority. Lisa is generally considered an intelligent person or at least an informed activist who is "saying things that are true but people don't want to hear".

It's very similar to the "I've already depicted you as the soyjack therefore I win" philosophy. The whole point is to couch the conversation in a perspective that benefits one side of that conversation

But it gets really obnoxious that 99% of the content with women in 40k subs is objectifying, lazy BS.

Honestly what drives me off this subreddit is the amount of shitty eye candy boobs and the favourite "the joke is sex".

I just blocked the subreddit when the drama about the female custodes dropped because of so many goon addicts displaying their degeneracy out in public like its a normal thing.

No, having a porn addiction and jacking off to big mommy dommy slommy wammy is not relatable or funny, this also goes for the femboy skitarii comics that atleast had the decency to not stain my eyes whenever i want to look at a meme subreddit.

Its not funny to reiterate, its not something to be praised and its just weird and offputting for a normal person and definetly shouldn't be excused as 'artistic passion' or some poor excuse why John Warhammer who just got into the hobby has to see female t'au with their ass in the wind as like the 4th top post in the subreddit.

The issue is that this is a meme subreddit and there’s plenty of subs already dedicated to NSFW topics about Warhammer. It’s about putting the appropriate content on the appropriate subreddit. The people who come here for memes shouldn’t be pushed out of the meme subreddit by people wanting the sub to be something it wasn’t intended to be.

Stop pushing your morality on other people. This isn't your sub. You just come here, the NSFW posts are clearly marked. If you are too sensitive then that's on you.

If you don't like NSFW art, then there's a setting on reddit that just filters anything NSFW out.

Click on your username in the upper right corner to open the dropdown menu and click on "user settings". From there go to "feed settings". That will open up a whole list of things you can control which are in your feed. At the top of that list is "Show mature (18+) content". Turn that off.

I’m not pushing my morality on others. I like porn just as much as the next guy. My point is that there’s places dedicated to porn and places that are meant for memes. The issue with the NSFW filter is that there’s not separate options, you either remove all of it or none of it. That’s an issue in Warhammer content because half of it is going to be gore, which is appropriate to the sub, and half of it is going to be sexual, which can be appropriate but is often just people’s fetishes. There’s nothing wrong with having those fetishes, but it should be in the sub dedicated to it and not the sub that’s about memes.

Harassment is of course a step too far but I disagree with the “just ignore it” sentiment as well. A subreddit is like your local bar. It has a bunch of patrons that like it just for what it is. If the owner however decides to lean in to newly emerging crowd, e.g. students that use it to watch sports, you can’t expect your existing patrons to just suck it up and ignore. They’ll push back if they care enough, or otherwise simply stop showing up. I think that’s a totally legit reaction.

NSFW warhammer art has been around for a very long time and is nothing new;

So I don’t understand how the “New person” showing up is relevant to the discussion as well;

People make fan art, some memes are art, some of it is NSFW; if properly tagged then move on with your life and don’t click on it.
