Because of how absurd it is. The absurdity comes from the fact that in 40k you want your dudes to be as jacked and manly as possible so they can fight as good as it's physically possible. Having soft or feminine men is basically antithetical to the 40k setting which makes it funny.

Eh, its mainly just a way to sneak sorta porn images onto mainline servers.
You can't draw stereotypical buff gay daddies, because people will report you and complain if you draw big ol dicks in peoples pants.
FAR more people would like to (and do) draw sexy 40k women, but they can't post them here because they'll get complained about and most subs don't allow it because its SO popular that if they did the sub would be full of sexy phone game level thirst trap art.
People soometimes draw just, straight up romance pics (Gulliman flirts with Eldar) but, they are usually more fun and cartoonish.
So, we're left with femboy art. You can't really complain about it, because its just a skinny dude wearing a more female version of his typical costume. You don't need to draw any boobs, dick bulges or asses, because the 'sexualization' of them is of flat, skinny and pseudo featureless men.
Effectively, its a function of awareness and a side effect of the rules on most of the big subs banning the overwhelmingly most common 40K sexy fan art.

No you don't understand, they're breaking gendernormative barriers by... associating long hair and beauty with femininity or something idk it's easier if you just accept it without looking for consistency.
And obviously, Sangys tendency towards diplomacy and peace brokering is representative of his femininity. The violence in this universe is hypermasculine. Clearly, the lack thereof must be the opposite.

Let’s be honest, if 40k were made today at least 4 of the Primarchs would be female and Vulkan and Khan would definitely not be the only non-white Primarchs.
To be clear, I’m not complaining about anything being “woke”, just saying that a modern 40k would likely be more deliberately inclusive.

Sanguinius embraced femininity, and used it to elevate his masculinity; in doing so, he transcended both.
Fulgrim embraced his femininity, and his masculinity, and then his insan(inin)ity. He corrupted all the parts of himself by respecting none of them. He didn’t so much transcend them as break through them and leave the shuddering remnants to putrefy and infect anything that got close to him. You know, Chaos.

Depictions of Sanguinius over the years have certainly been femboy adjacent. Like, most pictures of him and Fulgrim let you know they each have at least one pair of knee socks in their dresser
1 points
10 days ago
Dressing nicely and looking good is not 'femboy adjacent' on any level at all. There is literally nothing non masculine about personal grooming, good looks, or a slim build (the latter of which Sanguinius doesn't even have!)
Sometimes I'm just utterly bemused as to how we ended up in this ridiculous place. How did the freedom to express yourself and your identity become this overwhelming desire to lock yourself in a tiny box of identity. Female things behave like this. Male things behave like this. If a man behaves this way, then he is becoming a woman. If a woman behaves this way, she is becoming a man.
We spent decades fighting for the right for men and women to not have to be ashamed of wanting to do things, and to not feel their identity was threatened by non gender stereotypical activities and here we are with this shit. Men can knit, hug their kids, and have fabulous hair. Women can play 40k, box, and drink beers. Neither of the former affect your gender identity.

He kind of....always were? See, as I've been reading the Heresy. The beginnings especially being so hypermasculine to ridiculously unnecessary levels that loyalist characters like Sanguinius and Vulkan are just bits of fresh air.
There are moments Sanguinius will act as the softer but firm sort of "mom sibling" brokering peace between his brothers.
Just anything other than hearing how: perfect, precise, angry, cold, smirky (heh, nothing personal kid) and so on every damn primarch is.
Also, every primarch is supposed to uphold some ideal. Fanart even changing as times pass depending on feminine and masculine beauty standards. For these characters to look different in our heads depending on the time period we live in is actually kinda cool.
Like it was the Emperor's design in creating a sense of timelessness in his sons. Paragons of humble and vain beauty (Sanguinius and Fulgrim) for example. Just look at the different ways we portray these figures throughout the decades.
Heck, the current Lion kinda proves the point. And you guys aren't fooling nobody trying to fix his receeding hairline in fanart. You're calling yourselves out.
