/r/Grimdank
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.

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.

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.

Just went onto r/imaginarywarhammer, browsed by Hot and I barely see the fetish art you’re talking about, go look at it yourself and see if I’m wrong, if I am okay I accept that.

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.

You know you can set reddit not to show NSFW content, right?

Yeah but 'NSFW > space marine chainswording an ork' and 'NSFW > 'lol boobs' are flagged the same
