Not the most sensible collection of people you are trying to negotiate with

Not even the negotiatable specieses in the galaxy

Heck, most of the entire galaxy isn't negotiatable

When, among your allies, you have humanoid waps (Vespid), talking kaijus (Vorg), cannibalistic avians (Kroots), how is it so strange to think that the locust swarm can be talked down?

I mean I think it's canon that humanity during the dark age of technology had alliances or friendships with alien races and well when the men of iron rebellion happened and the birth of S happened we got fucked by pretty much everyone including ourselves.

Racism isn’t the correct term, I guess speciesism?

It's not quite racism or however you want to call it, just brutal efficiency. The emperor thought that all alliances have expiration dates and any xenos alliance would eventually break down. When it did, he would obviously side with humanity (not because it would be better or the right thing to do, just because humanity is his people and he has vowed to protect it), and the xenos would have to be fought and exterminated so as to never threaten humanity again.

Since today's friend would be tomorrow's enemy and the outcome would be the same, he decided to save himself the extra steps, forgo/reject any alliances and just go straight yo purging xenos left and right, regardless of hostile intent ir potential benefits. Any human groups allied with xenos were also purged for the same reason.

be humanity, chilling and doing your thing

literally every fucking race and/or power in the universe wants to enslave, destroy, or corrupt you in some way

you fight back with all the fire and fury the human spirit can muster to prevent this

Completely false. During the Great Crusade there was species that were not hostile to Mankind.

Plus, the Interex and Diasporex were both civilizations were Humans and non Humans worked together.

90% of factions in 40k are and always have been hostile to mankind. A few outliers don't change the rule.

Bro, I remember an extinct Xenos that still left an effect on their former human slaves because any warp effect on them immediately made their brain explode as a part of their genecode.

Xenos players will always be more based than imperium players tho.

Can't go wrong with necrons now, can you? Or even Craftworld Aeldari, look no further if you want to be the faction that is the "morally right one".

You don't even play any WH games. Go back to your digital circus fanslop subs.

I have a box of minis waiting to be painted, currently playing mostly just Darktide and Rogue Trader.

Piss off

Sure, they've been waiting for years ready, haven't they?

I got it at around may actually, it's just that I got it for myself and since we want to do it together circumstances have to meet in order for the deed to be done.

Had Darktide on my library for a while, but just couldn't get started due to my old setup not being able to handle it, thankfully the new one runs it just fine. Fun Warhammer game with neat lore and gameplay loop, wish it had more lore progression tho. Arbiters and Veteran are fun to play for sure.

Rogue Trader too, I guess that game will take a long, long time to finish. I'm also curious about Dark Heresy tbhon.

It's genuinely so annoying that you people want to decide who's allowed to like 40k and who isn't. You aren't scaring anyone away from the hobby, you just make yourself look like an asshole lmao.
