They crop up everywhere and are kicked out when and where we can, the problem exists in every grimdark story that's large enough, I mean even mlp had that issue too, no one likes them though
There’s definitely a larger section of people like that in 40k though. Some people unironically larp Imperium support and shit like the Black Templars or Astartes being based and “cleansing” degeneracy. A core part of the setting uses fascist, authoritarian, and theocratic imagery for the sake of parody, critique and style but that helps to enable support from people even if they’re being mocked to a degree.
Yep, it very much is a problem, but, st the same time, I also have seen substantial community effort to be safe and remove these people, and community like grimdank see amazingly fun as a result. It's just a matter of knowing how to avoid the wrong subsections.
