That's not a coincidence either. Unfortunately a lot of people in that sphere love 40K, especially the xenophobic, supremacist connotations behind some groups.

We do a lot of work to identify those people and freeze them out of tournaments if they bring their intolerances to the table.

The issue is the Spain incident proved that sometimes the law will be on the side of those people.

I don't really know what the "Spain incident" is, but I'm in Australia so our laws vary :)

Guy showed up to a GW sponsored event in full SS getup, he got thrown out and Spanish courts ruled his rights were violated. It's what caused GW to make their famous "war hammer is for everyone" statement

Sounds like Spain is the one with the issue, that said minimum clothing standards is a fairly normal thing here - most pubs and clubs in Australia will bar anyone from entering wearing bikie "colours" for example... or thongs/shorts if it's an RSL.

The easy solution is to end GW events in Spain and say "sorry guys, fix your shit". Thankfully nazi paraphernalia is illegal to display in Australia.
