If I had a choice between an Ork invasion and a Polygon writers' invasion, I would choose the Orks.
One has the vaguest conception of honor.
YES! FILL WITH DAKKA THEM POLYGON WRITERS!
At least Orkz are actually entertaining
@@Spamkromite Something The Emperor, Gork, AND Mork all agree on.
Da Boyz know how to have a good time! Wit LOTSA DAKKA!
Eldar: Wants to genocide humanity.
Dark Eldar: Wants to torture humanity to death.
Tau: Wants to enslave humanity.
Tyranids: Wants to eat humanity.
Orks: Just wants to blow everything up because it's fun.
Chaos: ALL OF THE ABOVE
Yet somehow it's Humanity that's the bad guys.
yes because hitler or some foreskin akin to that
The imperium wants to exterminate the eldar for the sin of existing. The eldar coeexisted with humanity during the golden age and called them friend. The imperium wants to exterminate them and the eldar want to be left alone. The imperium is no better than the covenant in halo burning worlds to balls of molten glass. The imperium is evil. All alien life must be eradicated in their eyes.
Precisely 🤣They are secret Chaos acolytes writing those articles tho 👀
Except there are no good guys in 40k it feels like. Not that it matters honestly.
@@orionparish9858 I mean thats kinda the point: everyone is trying to survive in a galaxy that wants them dead, and has to do some seriously abhorrent atrocities to do so.
Which is part of the appeal
I just idly said "a Polygon article huh?" and my dog just shat on my carpet, Poetic.
That's apocryphal not poetic
He wanted you to have something less disgusting to think about.
Dude, my cat vomited on my rug while Polygon got brought up! Isn't it amazing how in tune animals are sometimes?
Intelligent doggo
@@SilenTHerO78614 Kaio wha....
I mean, Apocryo what?
It's funny, because we all know exactly what the article is going to say without even reading it. I'm just shocked polygon outlasted both buzzfeed, and vice.
(Amused) I wonder if younger generations will stumble across mention of these sites and we'll have to explain just how hideously wretched they were?
Only thing missing was "allso Trump bad" and it would've checked all the boxes.
Only because they got bought out by larger companies
@@mikkelnpetersen It would've been so easy, too. People already called him the Cheeto Emperor. Just one sentence and that Bingo card would've been complete.
My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.
(Warhammer 40K in Liberals minds)
Tyrranids, Necrons and Orks, all come down on the Imperial world at the same time. They race to the ground, once landed it will be a fight ot the death between 4 deadly factions!
(BOOM they all land and come running out....... to find a Space Marine wearing a dress, with a Sister of Battle wearing a butch haircut)
Ork Warboss: Errrrm we gonna have da biggest fight?
(Space Marine starts to speak, then suddenly the Sister slams his head off her knee)
Sister of Battle: DON'T EVEN START MANSPLAINING! Anyway yes we can fight but we are going to win because the Imperium is now ruled by an Empress, and we have a very diverse population. I came to make friends with you new minorities, and want you to bring your entire civilizations, here so we can live together! Oh and don't worry about the Racist White Men, we are throwing them all out into Space. Welcome to the Imperium of Wokeness! ALL HAIL THE EMPRESS OF WAHMAN!)
How I'm imaging a conversation with the author of the article would go:
"Have you heard of Starcraft?"
"Perhaps Starship Troopers?"
"How about Alien?"
"Maybe you've read Ender's game?"
"How about the concept of cosmic horrors in general?"
...
"Your just editorializing Wikipedia articles aren't you?"
You misspelled Wokepedia.
That, or just watched a few youtube videos by the marxist channels. The "dropping churches from space" reminded me a lot of Brickys video.
@@Marinealver You mean Wookiepedia?

"Let's put current events and politics into your escapism!"
Political commentary of current events is not inherently bad in the slightest.
Problem is these people are so creatively bankrupt and unintelligent that finding a way to implement such commentary in an entertaining and immersive way is quite literally impossible for them...
@@schnek8927 If it's _intended_ it's great. But they're forcing it in stories it's _not intended for._ It's like putting diesel in a gasoline engine.
@@schnek8927 you can go on about how the imperium is bad and even how it's actually good, but arguing for chaos, That is what politics does to sci-fi, makes something which is rather complex and dumbs it down while uplifting a literal universal evil force.
This sentence would make '' surprise colonoscopy ! '' sound less painful.
@@tarektechmarine8209 There's great arguments for chaos. Look what order is stagnation. Chaos is life growing and changing. If the interstellar medium had been perfectly orderly stars would have never formed. These messy early stars that didn't last long and chaotically exploded spewing ever more complicated elements around. Not just an ocean filled with identical 1 celled organisms but teeming competing fighting mating creatures grasping onto what they could. I forget what WH40k book had it one of the early ones had such a great argument for chaos and change as very beneficial. There's like a demon and a little kid and the planet's going to get sundered but then doesn't this is before Kalth I'm rather sure.
Polygon could explain the sky and I'd walk away entirely certain I've never seen the color blue in my life.
..... Meanwhile, there are some that say ancient greeks can't see colour blue
@@rumigraciea8216 It's just a linguistics argument that was misinterpreted into a biological one. It's about the terms used to describe things, rather than an actual difference in color viewing ability. Ancient Greeks used color identifiers as indications of the "purpose" of a thing, rather than the literal color they saw. They sky is "bronze" in ancient greek because of it's association with it's function, not because of anything to do with it's actual color.

Oh boy, Slaneesh would have a field day. We are the eldar and that thing is coming for our souls.
Polygon can barely explain the contents of a ham sandwich, let alone explain something they clearly have no interest in.
Edit: I really believe that the person who wrote this trash article has only seen Bricky's introduction video, and a few other videos on youtube. They can't be a fan. Anyone who calls the IG the astra militarium is a tourist
Bold of you to imply Polygon writers have any interest in ham sandwiches. How certain are you that they are actually capable of eating food that isn't soy-based?
@@joak9992 knowing polygon, its ham flavored soy-substitute for the soy-intolerant.

@@ItamarO93 The Inquisition rates this as one of the top ten memes in the Imperium of Man
Look to the state of Star Wars for what happens when you don’t gatekeep, there are still people to this day making excuses for what Disney has done to that universe and unlike with Star Trek there’s nobody sneaking in to try and undo the severe damage that the sequels have done to it. (Including Kenobi)
gatekeep has nothing ot do with star wars it was a corporate buyout
The problem was the same with Star Wars. They had to advance the setting, the status quo while great for economic prosperity makes for uninteresting stories.
Thus we needed to destroy the New Republic and Tear the Galaxy in half.
@@Marinealver You can't think of a way to have an interesting story with a functional new republic?
@@vivusthevivusthing6182 I think the presence of the functional republic sort of inherently means all the major threats to act as antagonists are handled
@@bartofii I mean, a competent republic fighting the renewed aggression of the imperial remnant. Major threat we just have to have characters in the new republic. Could have pulled the Vong, crime syndicates getting uppity, or you could just do smaller scale stories that don't have to include a galactic threat. There are many storytelling options with a functional new republic
It started as an amalgamation of other sci-fi stories that has since taken on a life and identity of its own. There, explained. You want more, find a faction you like the look of, read one of their one off books, if you like it, read more, if not, try a different one. If you don’t seem to like any of the books, maybe you won’t like 40k.
You could say it was a primordial soup of references and the rule of cool splurging into it's own being.
They should make their own homebrews then instead of ruining 40k
They also failed to more than glance at the Commissariat. Regiments average ten thousand men and usually have only one Commissar. As a result of not being able to kill them all of they retreat, Commissars generally inspire the regiment with feats of heroism leading from the front as the high officers must direct from behind.
Or in the case of cain, charging the screaming hordes is the safer option
The idea that Polygon understands 40k nedver mind explains it to other people is hilarious to me. Good joke xD
IKR? It's like a chimp finding a machine gun, or a tree hugging liberal finding a tribe of people and they turn out to be violent instead of "Like the bestest thing ever"
We nerds are a pretty welcoming bunch. Most of us remember what being ostracized felt like and we aren’t terribly keen on it. But that welcoming attitude has resulted in Disney Wars, Nu-Trek, Dr. Who Cares, and Lord of the Rangs. If someone wants to change a franchise, they are not fans, and should not be welcomed.
That pretty much sums it up and I agree.
The worst thing that happened to nerd culture is that it became mainstream.
I remember the days of being intimidated going into a comic store as a kid but it didn’t take long to figure out that the guys there weren’t being mean they were just passionate about their thing and didn’t like change unless it made sense or was cool. They were fine with me asking questions and would many times challenge me on whether or not I was retaining what they told me. Sometimes it was annoying but they wanted to make sure that I wasn’t just passing through and it helped mold me into someone that cares about what I like. Good times
Thank you Arch. Thank you for an informative and entertaining critique on this Polygon article. But more importantly thank you for sparing my sanity from having to read it.
We can't afford activists of any political leanings touch our hobbies.
Yeah but how do we get them to fuck off fast enough?
40k is based and unapologetically right wing Roman cyborgs purging xenos filth, and that is what makes it awesome.
Though I technically agree. Learn target prioritization. I'd rather let the mostly mythical "far right" (still "left" of historical norms) take over than let the rainbow pedos take over.
@@piercebrosnan9528 I think cawl was pretty progressive by screwing conventions and bastardising the emperors masterpiece which was accepted by the establishment. Sounds pretty lefty to me 😢

Chaos corrupts, but even they would think these people are evil.
There's actually a lot those two have in common, to quote Khayon from the ADB Black Legion book:
“They need us. We are their fuel. Our thoughts and deeds are what give them life. They are us, in the most literal sense..."
But they hate us. I am convinced of it.”
Cannot corrupt what has already been corrupted
I am surprised Arch doesn't break out with Stigmata mimicking the injuries of the godemperor from as many times as he has had to raise his banner, adjust his -=][=- seal, and again throw himself into the breach once more in the struggle against the corrupting forces of chaos and corruption trying to tear down the Imperium.😔
Your sacrifices and deep scars in this fight bare witness to us all your devotion and your will to continue this struggle Arch and we know not all the damage is visible to the eye.
You have my flamer Arch!😬🛡
The heavy one...😑🔥🔥🔥🔥
Nice Inquisition seal
Speaking of Imperial oppression, the Imperium has little authority over its member planets/star nations/etc. Heck, there is lore showing an Inquisitor have to sneak around and work from behind the scenes on a world because the _Inquisition’s_ authority did not extend to bossing around Planetary Governors. Planetary Governors have commanded Imperial forces, including Space Marines and Titans, on their world due to how much autonomy members of the Imperium actually have. They’re not oppressing (almost) anyone. The individual worlds’ own governments do or don’t.

Oh the irony of this coming out today. I just started rewatching your 40k Explained and Lore videos this week, Arch, to help me refresh and prep for a 40k Tabletop game my friends and I started up (Dark Heresy for those who were curious). Rewatched the Black Ships Monday and then the Necron video last night, and your stuff is so witty, brilliant, and best of all faithful to the franchise.
Polygon cannot go the way of Buzzfeed soon enough.
Wtf xD started monday and have rewatched a lot of old videos.
But 10th edition will start without me. 40k is dying and for me, Cawl and the Dark Imperium has killed it
@@aoofmg6684 duces
Or... you can read the Dark Heresy book itself, which presents everything you need way better than some random swedish nonce reading a wikipedia.
Nice! I started playing Rogue Trader a few months ago, so I began reading some of the novels and watching W40k videos on CZcams. Arch's stuff is entertaining!

I've been around for awhile and I remember them trying to do this back in Sarkeesion days and now they're back at it again...
So chaos is coming for our beloved Imperium... again
💔😔 Have you learned nothing?
Siggi was right. In the grim dark past, present, *and* future there is _only war._
The struggle against the forces who wish to wipe out individualism and humanity will _never_ end.
Just look at MS13, ISIS, the CCP, and the God forsaken Democrat party in the US along with a myriad of other groups, organizations, and even companies that have gotten into the arena to force products on us and kill off their competition.
The old sayings & ancient wisdom such as _Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum_ are warnings of what it costs if you do not remain vigilant against what is basically evil.
To those who say that nothing is worth fighting for I say you can end it this very moment. All you have to do is kneel.

Still proud to say my OG set before I knew the lore was Black Templars and they're still my favorites.
Black Templars are the best. No doubt about that.
Yes, we are.
Oh, Polygon explained it ALL in little article. That's nice.
“Automated space utopia.”
Ah yes. The space utopia whose history mentions things like “stitch horrors”. Sounds fun.
Its a leftypol meme.
It's truly difficult to imagine an article more slanted and factually incorrect. Just as I expected from these click farmers.
And the Imperium is aware of what cruelties it does commit or allows and, in fact, is often paid by its own actions. Fully feeling the weight of hard decisions, mourning the sacrifices and suffering necessary for humanity’s survival, and using the same as motivation to keep holding on in their honor.
I actually love that GW uses "unreliable narrator" for 40k, even if it's a copout, it fits the setting perfectly and makes it a lot more interesting, but I also love the SCP wiki, where a unified cannon doesn't exist
Unified cannon is nonsense when it comes from a board of directors who’ve never cared about the product. Fans make the best unified cannon. Let fans argue until they find some stability. That’s your cannon.

On the bright side, no one cares about games journalists so I’m 100% sure that we’re still golden. I joined a couple years back with Bricky’s videos explaining the factions, then watching Astartes, and then the TTS series and haven’t had any problems with the community. Y’all are dope and I love it here.
the broadest possible application of the term 'journalist'
I'm really sure Bricky also hates Arch, as we all should.
Chaos isn’t the Warp, the Warp is the dimension/plane Chaos exists in. However, every scrap of reality, emotion, states of existence in reality, etc. has Warp entities attached to them as far as we call tell and all those are ultimately connected to, or literally part of, greater entities called gods (bad, good, but really just a mix) who might or might not be parts of an overall entity called The Beast.
I can't wait to forget about these tyranidesque bastards eating and consuming one of my favourite franchises when I binge watch one of your lore series. So looking forward to the Sabbat worlds. Keep gatekeeping folks.

Wow! Polygon is so wrong that it is genuinely shocking that any human being could be this incompetent... Then again, anyone who has seen their terrible takes on Hogwarts Legacy shouldn't expect them to be even capable to doing a good job.
Now, I may not be high into the lore of 40k, but I have read quite a bit of stuff on the wiki and played many of the games (not the tabletop version yet). But thanks to a lot of people who do video's on the lore (yourself included ArchCast, love your 40k video's I've watched) and the like, I feel like I probably know more about 40k than Polygon does.

When I discovered Warhammer in 2007, it was in the middle of its storyline-stasis. I loved it. I loved that I had found a great story that no one was messing with. We had 10,000 years of story to explore without worrying about advancing the plot with some nonsense. I had never seen that in anything else. Everyone always wants their favorite story to continue on, inevitably killing it with power creep or poorly thought out plots.
I miss that golden age, when it felt like you had forever to discover an infinitely deep lore. Now we have what everyone else has. A story rushing out plot points faster than the IP holders can think. Not that GW cares. Which is the other tragedy.
If anyone is new and wish to enter the hobby of 40k, watch arches old videos if they're still up. They are the true introduction to that universe. That article is pretty much going to deter you from it and make you want to do a game that they feel it's safe instead of a game that's entertaining, thought provoking, and you can make a character that fits your personality by kit bashing it game walk shop is expensive but at least you can do different things to your benefits. So point where you can make your own little story of your own squad.
The Sisters of Battle do have large drop pods. And they are, in fact. Well…churches. Like, literally churches. They are not used for assault, though, as the speed and maneuverability would pulp them.
I have yet to see an explaination of how positive gatekeeping would work. It's NOT GATEKEEPING to want political propagandists with no actual interest in a game to stay out of it.
That's just basic bare minimum expectations for everything on earth.
If you have no interest in a hobby, don't comment on it, stay out. That is not gatekeeping. that is basic sanity.
If for some bizzare reason you want to call this gatekeeping then yes this is the one kind of gatekeeping which isn't bad. but it's NOT gatekeeping.
_Its not gate keeping to keep the barbarians out of the city, thats just the bare minimum of having a city._
Thats you explaining why gatekeeping isnt gatekeeping if its a good thing. Just like conspiracy theories and deep state, gatekeeping neednt only have negative connotations _unless you make it that way_
Basic sanity... in the modern world.... 😂🤣
The two things that did the most to get me into 40K were the all guardsman party and Arch's Siege of Vraks lore series.
Who gatekeeps better, Imperial Fists or Iron Warriors?
Probably Iron Warriors because in the unlikely situation they fail they would just blow the whole franchise apart just out of spite because Iron Warriors.
depends if you want solid walls defending a singular goal or literally nigh-unending pitfalls, redoubts, killing-grounds, empty-expanses and quite literally a provocative cage wherein the enemy will burn out before they reach the actual goal.

Its cause even the lowest effort content gets clicks if its 40k related.

The irony of a passionate fan base not having a lot of good media so they jump at any chance
I always enjoyed the phrase everything is cannon, but not everything is true.
This is why I listen to Arch, even when he's ragging on uranalists he's still teaching me intricate details I didn't know about 40k.
Also to be fair - 70% of Codex table top factions you can play - are different factions of Imperium (most of them are different Space Marine Chapters with their own Codex)
worse word than explained is "educate", if you have someone say they are going to educate you about something you know they're going to be a asshole about it

Pretty obvious to me the only research they did was watch a bricky video
I'm personally not into Warhammer, but I can definitely respect it for the depth and love it's garnered over the years as well as how it's grown and expanded to astronomical lengths.
That being said, the fact it took a trashfire like Polygon this long to touch it is impressive on its own. Shows how well-guarded 40k had been up to this point.
I haven't touched the hobby since 2018. Reason being I had kids then, so now I no longer have "gw" levels of spare cash... but I do feel the need to join in on this gatekeeping.

Ahh, the old "unreliable narrator" trick. I know it well. Not from playing 40k, mind you, but from extensive time spent with Bethesdas Elder Scrolls games.
Buzzfeed, Vice.... Polygon next please?

"OH mu gosh you guys the Imperium is so bad!"
Yeah as long as you ignore the extra dimensional horrors and their loyal groupies, armies of robots wanting to wipe out all life, intergalactic alien locust swarms, war worshipping fungus and everything else. Honestly the trigger happy commissar is the least of the average guardsmans problems.
As someone who's played only varieties of Chaos since 96, I think the imperium should definitely open up to Chaos.

@17:12 So, what you're saying is, The Emperor is all the Jedi?
Let's hope Polygon goes the way of Buzzfeed and Vice News.
Religious sermons often start by talking about a pop culture allegory that leads into the main message. The pop culture reference captures your audiences attention, and gets them thinking about the subject that is then preached on. This is not an article explaining 40k, it’s a sermon on Fascism that uses 40k as an opening allegory to draw the readers interest. This is a left wing political sermon. Nothing more, nothing less.
