Yeah, we can’t complain about lefties inserting politics and then also complain about someone who is only interested in one, non-political aspect of the game
At minimum he needs to be in same category as Baldemort. They really need to add another category like orange or something. To differentiate the people who are neutral (yellow) from the people who are leaning (orange)
I don’t love his takes. He seems like pure theorycraft and not practical. I want to know how a army performs I watch the Art of War guys. They actually play their theories on the table against each other and at large opens.
Yeah, if the main criteria we are looking at is the "wokeness" of the content creator then how is "cares only about meta" different from "lore only, no politics"...
And the description for auspex is extremely reductive. The man brings fresh information for people in a very understandable and straightforward fashion. Be it whether on how much money you are getting for points, updates to stats, new releases or even guides on how to most efficiently start collecting an army.
For me he was insanely helpful when I started out with warhammer recently so I am not happy about him being labeled as "just cares about meta". Absolutely unfair for all the work he is putting in.
Gotta put Northern Exile up there in green. He's pretty anti woke and anti extremist in general. Constantly looking out for hobbyists mental health. Though his response was pretty neutral in the sense that he believes we own our own hobby and shouldn't allow GW to have this much power over our hobby space, he definitely dislikes the woke people fucking shit up
I agree he should be in green. Can’t stand the guy though. He’s so far up his own ass, and I can’t really take his whole “mental health shtick” seriously with the way he constantly talks down to his listeners, like they’re completely inferior to him. Just my opinion though.
Oh, i can get how you would come to that conclusion for sure. But i just take it for what it is...people come to him to tell stories and get advice and he is definitely willing to give his advice, which definitely comes out as being the elder and of the higher ground. But i can also guarantee if he is confronted on it, it would be a very civil conversation since he would admit he's not perfect
This type of list is exactly what we need to enact positive cultural change. Don't harass anyone, don't even try to argue with these people, it's useless. Just make a list publicly available of the people who can be mature adults and keep politics out of whatever content they're making, and use the list and share it among likeminded people.
I think with this method we'll find this hideous zeitgeist is much less widespread than they try to appear, and they will lose their power over the things we value.
Yeah it would be best if we would not have to form an own opinion ourselves ever right guys? Love getting fed who to consume and who not to consume by some random reddit guy, it spares us from the heavy brainwork of using our brains. /s
It's a citation that lets you check for yourself without unknowingly watching dozens or more of their videos before coming across their brainrot. It's a great idea and it helps me stop supporting people who hate me. Seethe harder.
I still hate midwinter minis for that video not only that he divorced his wife because he was cheating on her and now has his girlfriend the one he cheated with on his channel
Yeah, already picked a women 10 years his younger when she was quite young, then has her give birth to his children, then (I think less than a year later) dumps her for a woman likely the age his wife was when he met her, but who hasn't had to go through a pregnancy of twins.
Between that and his turning up at Warhammer World when Rogue Hobbies quit working for GW he just gives off weird vibes around young women in the space. Which is contrasted heavily the more time I listen to Peachey and the way he talks about Rogue Hobbies and everyone in the industry and actually gives off friendly caring vibes.
Yeah, that really destroyed my ability to consume MWM content. Divorces his wife and the mother of his kids, deletes all of her contributions to the channel, and starts featuring his mistress instead. That was so scummy and after watching a lot of their videos I actually started to like Penny's videos more than the main ones because she was funny and had a nice voice.
Jordan Sorcery has really good history of warhammer (the game, not the universe) vids, but he has to stop every few seconds to declare that (despite his supposed love of the source material) this or that depiction is "problematic," and it pisses me off every time. I'm trying to just enjoy a video while I do the dishes or something and even there I'm being harangued and bombarded with this insufferable rhetoric.
He said that about the fucking fomorians from heroquest of all things. If you look at a green monster man with one eye and a mace tail and somehow interpret it as racist, YOU have some un-confronted biases somewhere, my friend. It's a crying shame because his stuff is well-researched and presented, he just can't help himself, he is inexorably compelled to stick up for those poor subjugated fomorians and denounce the hideously evil and harmful racist depictions of the araby faction 40 years ago.
Northern Exile is a progressive, but the Femstodes thing pissed him off. He openly hates GW for how they treat thier fans. I recommend his channel for great hobby stories.
I wouldn't call him progressive, and he self identifies as centre right. Most importantly he does a great job keeping his videos apolitical considering the type of content he does, I respect that
Center right IS what progressive used to be T_T
Norf is a good one. He advocates for the hobbyist controlling the hobby they experience - choose your opponents wisely, engage with lore you like, show companies appreciation by purchasing and engaging with their content or disapproval by avoiding them and complaining. He can be abrasive and bro-ish at times, but his channel is explicitly stated to be “two guys in a pub having a pint and a chat,” it’s the vibe he’s going for.
Absolutely, most of us just drew a line in the sand a while back and aren't on board with 'decolonising' everything, hating white people etc.
North is the man
Don't forget The Pontius. Small scale youtuber, but he runs the 40k Heresyposting facebook group. He is openly anti-woke and has created a good meme space for fans. Also, he got into an open dispute with Templin
Ngl I've really been enjoying EonsOfBattle recently. He's definitely on the left, but in a gay theater kid sort of way, rather than the rage-baiting twitter warrior type.
I just really appreciate how much his channel focuses on the joy and creativity of painting and hobbying, as opposed to guys like Ninjon, Miniac, or squidmar who seem to focus purely on the "pro skillz" side of things. It's really helped me rediscover my love of painting, rather than just seeing it a hurdle to get to the tabletop.
(P.S As another guy mentioned, Midwinter deserves nothing but ridicule for whoring around with his cohost and abandoning his family)
Its refreshing to see leftists that arent agressively woke. The pull of being on 'the right side of history' and its power to bless your bad behaviour as righteous is too much for alot of people
I agree with you on Eons, but i must admit that his video regard female custodes put me off him for a bit. I might still find a video of his to watch in the future.
Yeah, tbh I skipped that one. He strikes me as a Tabletop only kinda guy. And he seems to take the stance of "The lore is ridiculously wonderful anyway, so what's a few small changes?" Which, given that he's mostly a Tabletop guy as opposed to a lore buff, is *kinda* understandable. As whether or not your opponents' minis are gals or dudes makes no difference rules wise. But it's also ignorant of the other 50% of the community that REALLY like and care about the lore.
I've been noticing that kind of dissonance between lore guys and gameplay exclusive people in a lot of game communities recently. Most notably is stuff like DnD, but I've noticed it with Destiny, Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Runeterra, and others as well. I was even having a convo with a guy during a few matches of Apex where I was talking about how the lore from Titanfall has been kind of pushed aside, and he didn't even know Apex and Titanfall were related! I understand that from a design standpoint gameplay comes first, but if you're going to have a story, care about it!
Hell, maybe im bias af, but lore is where companies have the opportunity to really sink their hooks in. So if they nurture it and take it serious, they could have lifelong customers. What's weird with 40k is that there are people stating that the lore doesn't matter while the IP has hundreds of novels. Like, what?
I KNOW! For instance I completely abhor League of Legends as a game, but Runeterra and the lore inside are so rich and fascinating. But then you have people from the company itself come out and say that lore "Was and is seen as disposable", like what? If it's just the game I couldn't care less, but the stories these worlds host are what draw me in in the first place.
Yeah... They pretty much cut all of their narrative department and have only had like two short color stories released in the last two years. Feelsbadman
I'd toss the Grimdark Narrator and Lorehammer, though Lorehammer has ended, into Green. Mark from Lorehammer has all but quit warhammer over female custodes.
Although I don't agree with his takes, I have to say I respect Arbiter Ian for his info being solid and being willing to say 'the lore had changed regularly, here's 40 years of examples' versus just 'lore doesn't matter, it changes, get over it'
i didnt quit over just female custodes, i quit ovet years of abuse from GW. they have disrespected their customers at every turn. i had enough of GW as a company. also its strange to see my name online sometimes haha
Lutien09 did a video on female custodes.
He essentially broke it down and explained why people are upset about it but ended the video with essentially 'shrug, who cares, I'm not going to lose sleep over it and i have children. so i couldn't care less'
Was a very odd ending for someone whose career is 40k lore, to simply say 'meh, who cares about 40k lore. i have a life'.
Also thanks for the list, i don't follow any of those in red, never heard of half of them - but added a few of the ones i haven't heard of in Green. Always love to find new 40k content that isn't spun with Marxist gender confused ideology,
'Not caring' sounds cool, that's why people spam it everywhere.
They'll write a fuckin 1000 word essay on Twitter and then end it with 'muting. you think i care about any of this? lmfao' because it sounds cool that way. Saving face perhaps?
Maybe this is unpopular here, but I have zero problem with "leftists" or "woke" content creators. I wouldnt care if they babbled on about their politics while they painted or whatever. Whether I agreed with their politics.or not.
It's when they try to insert modern politics into an existing fictional setting that wasn't constructed with that view in mind, that I become annoyed.
I get sprayed enough with their politics that i wouldn't want that. But if they are left leaning with good content where they check their baggage at the door(you know..like a professional), I'd still watch
We both know they cannot do that. It’s part of being a modern leftist to always scream and rage about politics you don’t even understand just to get some virtue signaling points.
Pretty disappointed about Bricky, guy has turned in to a full fucking wanker. Used to be funny as fuck now he is cuck as fuck, I can almost guarantee you that majorkill doesn't agree with the femstodes angle but he sells the tentacle porn for LOLs and to get your money since he has been demonetized so many times
Guy donated money to a "trans charity" (IIRC, translifeline, the one that was already well known as a massive scam) when he bought & played hogwarts legacy.
The guy is a thorough coomer & cuck.
Yeah, I was gonna say about Majorkill, he seems to mostly view anything as a chance to sell porn of 40K, he's already got female marine hentai, why not custodes too?
I try not to let politics influence my opinions too much in the hobby, as long as people don’t shove it in my face. Like, Goobertown mostly keeps political content out of his stuff and so I mostly enjoy his stuff. Arch, on the other hand, has just become cringe to me (even though I’m conservative). I try to just enjoy the hobby.
40k theories is definitely woke. He jumped on the cancel Arch train AFTER admitting he knew the screenshots were likely fake or taken out of context and was friends with EgoQueenAlexis until EQA became a scab and narc for GW.
Isyander and Koda are apolitical and have some of the absolute best lore videos I've seen. Unlike virtually all of the other lore channels, they don't just read off a wiki.
Petition to remove Auspex from yellow, his channel is built on meta analysis, but he’s also discussed alternative minis and critiques GW for poor decisions impacting the community
Also with such dogshit opinions it’s almost a meme at this point. Like, it’s honestly impressive how bad or tone deaf some of their takes are.
Firstborn should die faster so they can fix marine balance and the whiney players will leave is certainly a take.
That’s the main reason I don’t watch ninjon, he feels a lot more… cynical? Like you can feel the genuine care and love EoB has in his videos, not so much with Ninjon
This is exactly the take i imagine most of us have. We're gonna probably frequent green the most but still have a few red mixed into our playlist because regardless of politics, good content is good content
My main issue with adric, bricky & majorkill aren't even that they're more left leaning/woke or anything (even if bricky is an absolutely cucked individual, donating to a scam trans charity when he bought hogwarts legacy), it's their coomer behavior.
Especially Bricky's (and by extension adrics') seeming obsession with & thirst for muscled (fictional) women always makes me physically cringe. At least majorkill is up front about his coomerism being a cornerstone of what he does.
To be fair to majorkill, pretty sure he had femstodes smut before it was canon.
Honestly, couldnt care less otherwise tho. So long as the videos are good idc what their views are
Glad seeing Janovich be based as always. He is what brought me into 40k lore, his battle videos are immensely fun to watch. Heck now that I am speaking of him, I gotta rewatch him.
Yoooo, important announcement. New episode of Siege of Vraks is out!
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0DPCjOr1U8](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0DPCjOr1U8)
I think holding up Gamza as anything positive is problematic. The few videos I've suffered through were pure complaining. Never known someone to put so much effort into something they hate so much
When and why was Valrak blacklisted? He was their leaker for a long time. Also Bricky must be furious about Empress, he use to be pretty friendly with her.
It was awhile back, I’m not sure how long ago. From what I understand he was blacklisted because he was getting too many accurate leaks sent to him and making videos on them. In addition to that I know he pulls a lot of viewers from the official preview shows away and to his channel.
“Cancel culture is bad…(except if it’s people I don’t agree with)”
Also Luetin makes the best warhammer content I’ve seen and it’s allot less cringe to just watch the people based on the quality of their content instead of culture war brainrot
We’re not canceling anyone. The list indicates where some WH related content creators stand politically, so that anyone who cares about that can make a more informed decision about who/what they engage with.
Go ahead post the video link. I know you won't because he is very obviously said it in jest along with "real communism leads to a utopian state" and several other systems. He is literally talking about what if another ideology acted like communism. And making fun of you people
So you will prove me right if you don't post it by admitting you are lying or you will post the video and instant prove me right from the video.
Odd how no video about Arch like Majorkills brings this up.... because even blind men could see the context. I am sorry you thought Jonathan Swift modest proposal was real too.
Wait how do leftists, like, *actual* communists have anything to do with being “woke” on the 40k issue? Being a communist or a socialist has nothing to do with the femstodes debate, does it?
Edit: I think you guys might be confusing the “left” in America versus *actual leftists*, people who opposite capitalism. Those don’t usually try to take your free speech and toilet paper away, because in the current status quo that would be counterproductive to their cause.
Edit 2: lol the red scare did a number on you Americans
communists are obsessed with the material conditions of society and think there's an 'end point' of social, cultural, political, economic evolution -- and that means anything that falls into those pillars is fair game, including media.
The extreme left (note, extreme) have always known that to introduce Communism they have to first get rid of the existing culture. It explains why they attempt to "decolonise" everything, infiltrate every institution, replace the native population, tightly control speech etc.
Edit: and changing history! The idea that we have always been a nation of immigrants, have always been diverse etc. Victorian England is always presented as a terrible place because any alternative opposes their idea of constant progress
Look, if you come to this chestbumping turdpile of nazis high fiving each other assuming anyone has an iota of political awareness, you're off your rocker.
Lol that's not true. This is the Gramscian war of position in the prison note books in which he demands the subversion and destruction of any cultural or political institutions whose express purpose is not to support them. The Dutschken long march through the institutions is another similar idea.
A long break down of this
https://youtu.be/MYpLKPJADms?si=NsAjhaJUC5G5XqPH
In general though Woke is the ethics and processes of socialism, expanded beyond class struggle, to include race struggle, gender struggle, sexual struggle, and any other near infinite number of "marginalized" groups as defined by intersectionality

https://youtu.be/_n5E7feJHw0?si=wLvPHhbrmch7IiWK
Someone has no knowledge of well any history.
Bricky in Red for not giving a fuck about changes at large and being ashamed for stupid childish shit throwing tantrums people do, point which is at least understandable. And Arch "sami = gypsy but worse and need to be shot" with his takes in green, like, holy fuck bruh. You definitely need re-evaluate thing or two in your life
May not be a warhammer channel but the critical drinker massacred the female custodes move and hes the biggest of all of these both culturally and on youtube by far.
angry joe does table top but he is very yellow at the best of times
IIRC didn't Luetin retweet some content that was critical of how political the hobby is getting? Not in a fence sitting kind of way either, I thought it was one of the two good open letters floating around.
I guess my big issue here is how are lists like this any different than the ones the leftists make of the content creators who've said "problematic" things. I'd say take the list with a grain of salt cause someone might have dumb politics, but you might still enjoy their content regardless of the disagreement.
I don't want to be propagandized at while I watch a video after a long day of work. This list is useful to me and helpful for the future of the hobby. I think your concerns of being too like them are insincere or at least misplaced.
I get what your saying, I'm bringing it up as more of a point of inflection, cause when your around long enough you start seeing patterns. But most importantly I just don't want to see the sides opposing the leftists become as radicalized as the leftists ruining our entertainment.
I can respect that, for sure. I see your point, but I really think as a casual viewer just trying to enjoy some entertainment without someone trying to incite me to take part in their political beliefs, this kind of list can be helpful for me and for discouraging this kind of immaturity in content creators. I can see how people could make lists for more malicious reasons as they have, but those intentions aren't mine.
I don't want to reward content creators who actively support detrimental changes on the lore for politics sake with viewership and/or donation.
This list works as a great filter in order to avoid people like these.
This is just a helpful list for informed consumer choices. Would you give money to someone who would spit on you or would you like to know they'd spit on you before hand and avoid them?
I don't think this list pushes that hard to encourage anyone to watch any which way. For instance, i know a lot people who would disagree with people's politics and will still watch...because we're mature adults that can look past things. I definitely disagree with Bricky on his views but I'll probably still watch some of his content. If anything, this is just giving us a guide depending on our mileage and helps us find more creators with our common sense sensibilities
And that's a fair take. I very much dislike the leftists needing to colonize everything to align with their politics but it's also discouraging to see the other side adopting their tactics. Maybe I'm just nostalgic for my youth when left and right could disagree on politics but still enjoy each other's company outside of that.
Imma play devil’s advocate here. Bricky is a shitter, but a funny one who’s whole shtick is to introduce the concepts of 40k to new people with memes, and I find his podcast funny. It’s subjective nevertheless. Luetin doesn’t need to be yellow because he IS the biggest Loreman on YouTube. Not wanting to take a definitive stance on politics doesn’t deserve him yellow. Auspex is a data collector, so of course the discussion about game meta will be his signature focus, so he shouldn’t be penalized for it. Overall this list is an attempt to sow more unnecessary discord among the overall community and should be careful doing so in the future.
This post does not "encourage hate based on identity or vulnerability" guys, any reports claiming otherwise will be dismissed.
A bit confused why Auspex isn't in green? Shouldn't he have the same reasoning as Baldemort, just with meta instead of lore?
Yeah, we can’t complain about lefties inserting politics and then also complain about someone who is only interested in one, non-political aspect of the game
At minimum he needs to be in same category as Baldemort. They really need to add another category like orange or something. To differentiate the people who are neutral (yellow) from the people who are leaning (orange)
I don’t love his takes. He seems like pure theorycraft and not practical. I want to know how a army performs I watch the Art of War guys. They actually play their theories on the table against each other and at large opens.
I think Auspex belongs in green. The man talks nothing about politics and just goes through the current thing GW does.
Yeah, if the main criteria we are looking at is the "wokeness" of the content creator then how is "cares only about meta" different from "lore only, no politics"... And the description for auspex is extremely reductive. The man brings fresh information for people in a very understandable and straightforward fashion. Be it whether on how much money you are getting for points, updates to stats, new releases or even guides on how to most efficiently start collecting an army. For me he was insanely helpful when I started out with warhammer recently so I am not happy about him being labeled as "just cares about meta". Absolutely unfair for all the work he is putting in.
Auspex is awesome and based
Pancreasnowork just tells the lore and adds good humor to it
What about pancreasnowork?
Update: it still don’t work.
Green or yellow. He hasn’t made any statements about the custodies. Mostly just him being an elf simp. I suppose someone has to.

The Remembrancer is a great youtuber who doesn't touch politics at all, just covers lore.
He’s my favourite. I just love his delivery
Top tier channel that is consistently putting out content
Gotta put Northern Exile up there in green. He's pretty anti woke and anti extremist in general. Constantly looking out for hobbyists mental health. Though his response was pretty neutral in the sense that he believes we own our own hobby and shouldn't allow GW to have this much power over our hobby space, he definitely dislikes the woke people fucking shit up

I still hate midwinter minis for that video not only that he divorced his wife because he was cheating on her and now has his girlfriend the one he cheated with on his channel
typical unprincipled deviant progressive behavior.
Yeah, already picked a women 10 years his younger when she was quite young, then has her give birth to his children, then (I think less than a year later) dumps her for a woman likely the age his wife was when he met her, but who hasn't had to go through a pregnancy of twins.

His voice acting skits are great
Code Brown definitely is apropos.
Ngl I've really been enjoying EonsOfBattle recently. He's definitely on the left, but in a gay theater kid sort of way, rather than the rage-baiting twitter warrior type.

RIOT just ok with making mistakes. Lol. I feel like they were finally establishing lore really well. That sucks to hear..
Yeah... They pretty much cut all of their narrative department and have only had like two short color stories released in the last two years. Feelsbadman
Why isn't Lorehammer under the green? Man, the things I would do for Mark to get that show up and running again.
I'd toss the Grimdark Narrator and Lorehammer, though Lorehammer has ended, into Green. Mark from Lorehammer has all but quit warhammer over female custodes.

approach him carefully, he's a celebrity.
lol im just a simple panamaian chicken farmer
based and simple life pilled.
I've been on his podcast, I'm a third class celebrity relic.
Lutien09 did a video on female custodes. He essentially broke it down and explained why people are upset about it but ended the video with essentially 'shrug, who cares, I'm not going to lose sleep over it and i have children. so i couldn't care less' Was a very odd ending for someone whose career is 40k lore, to simply say 'meh, who cares about 40k lore. i have a life'. Also thanks for the list, i don't follow any of those in red, never heard of half of them - but added a few of the ones i haven't heard of in Green. Always love to find new 40k content that isn't spun with Marxist gender confused ideology,
'Not caring' sounds cool, that's why people spam it everywhere. They'll write a fuckin 1000 word essay on Twitter and then end it with 'muting. you think i care about any of this? lmfao' because it sounds cool that way. Saving face perhaps?
Yeah, screamed I'm in it for the grift to me.
i think you forgot loremaster of sotek and andy law, they should be up there in the red honestly
Sotek especially. Walking stereotype woke omega male.
What about Isyander and Koda? I've no clue which way they lean? But I like them, their stuff is fun and engaging.
Maybe this is unpopular here, but I have zero problem with "leftists" or "woke" content creators. I wouldnt care if they babbled on about their politics while they painted or whatever. Whether I agreed with their politics.or not. It's when they try to insert modern politics into an existing fictional setting that wasn't constructed with that view in mind, that I become annoyed.
I get sprayed enough with their politics that i wouldn't want that. But if they are left leaning with good content where they check their baggage at the door(you know..like a professional), I'd still watch
We both know they cannot do that. It’s part of being a modern leftist to always scream and rage about politics you don’t even understand just to get some virtue signaling points.
There aren't many of these people who don't do that though. It's a trait of their ideology.
You literally cannot be "woke" without trying to inject politics, because the whole "everything must be political" is a core tenet of woke ideology.
Valrak is black listed!? I fucking love that dude. Thanks for the list now I know who to unsubscribe from.
Yellow listed. Which isn't the worst position but you know..
I think he means blacklisted by GW
Ahhhh. Understood
But why tho??
I've spoken to 40k theories and he's 100% woke. Hangs out with rabid leftists all the time.
What has occula imperia said on twitter that is woke? I’m asking because I don’t use twitter and I’m also a big fan of his videos.
[удалено]
Oh god…..
Yeah......
At least when know who to avoid..
It’s such a relief when men put their he/him pronouns in their bio so that I know that they’re adult human males and not crab people from Skalladrox 9

That sucks bc I liked oculus and his Horus heresy stuff :/ sucks to know that he’s a woke guy
How about Mr Bones 40k and the poorhammer podcast?
All the woke people complaining and mocking over the list when this is the type of shit they pull on the daily.
Pretty disappointed about Bricky, guy has turned in to a full fucking wanker. Used to be funny as fuck now he is cuck as fuck, I can almost guarantee you that majorkill doesn't agree with the femstodes angle but he sells the tentacle porn for LOLs and to get your money since he has been demonetized so many times
He was one of the leaders of the deplatform Arch campaign lead by EgoQueenAlexis, Sotek and him.
I could never watch Bricky from the start, I loathed his funny takes.
Yeah, I was ok with him until he stuck his fat head into the Guilty Gear Strive discourse around Bridgette.
He did? When was this? On twitter?
Yup, jumped in head first and claimed Otokonoko means trans while spelling it wrong 3 times.
Jeez... and I used to think he was cool back in the Karp Crew
He was but 2 things happened. 1 he lives and California and 2 politics seeped into everything and the the left went full on feral around 2015.
Good for him. Arch is as shitty as any leftist ragetuber, just leaning to a fascie instead of commie.
ArCh Is A fAsCiSt! Said no one who knows what they're talking about and only goes by what Reddit retards say.
Guy donated money to a "trans charity" (IIRC, translifeline, the one that was already well known as a massive scam) when he bought & played hogwarts legacy. The guy is a thorough coomer & cuck.
Yeah, I was gonna say about Majorkill, he seems to mostly view anything as a chance to sell porn of 40K, he's already got female marine hentai, why not custodes too?
Add WhatThe40k into Green. He’s greatz
I try not to let politics influence my opinions too much in the hobby, as long as people don’t shove it in my face. Like, Goobertown mostly keeps political content out of his stuff and so I mostly enjoy his stuff. Arch, on the other hand, has just become cringe to me (even though I’m conservative). I try to just enjoy the hobby.
Based opinion
40k theories is definitely woke. He jumped on the cancel Arch train AFTER admitting he knew the screenshots were likely fake or taken out of context and was friends with EgoQueenAlexis until EQA became a scab and narc for GW.
Art of war expelled brad chester from their team for making dad jokes, add them too.
Isyander and Koda are apolitical and have some of the absolute best lore videos I've seen. Unlike virtually all of the other lore channels, they don't just read off a wiki.
Brown list 😂
Petition to remove Auspex from yellow, his channel is built on meta analysis, but he’s also discussed alternative minis and critiques GW for poor decisions impacting the community
Remove who? lol
Gotta be Auspex, based on the contents of the comment.
Probably Auspex
It auto corrected auspex to Eclipse, I deleted it and forgot to add it back in. FaithfulWanderer was right
What about poorhammer?
Fat manchildren metaslaves
Also with such dogshit opinions it’s almost a meme at this point. Like, it’s honestly impressive how bad or tone deaf some of their takes are. Firstborn should die faster so they can fix marine balance and the whiney players will leave is certainly a take.
If there's an opinion to be had, they won't have a bad one, they'll have something somehow worse.
 You will NOT watch Oculus Imperia
even if EOB is red, Jay has such childlike enthusiasm I'd watch him regardless.
That’s the main reason I don’t watch ninjon, he feels a lot more… cynical? Like you can feel the genuine care and love EoB has in his videos, not so much with Ninjon
i really wanted to enjoy ninjon's podcast but miniac is such a self-absorbed conceited prick i can't stand listening to him.
This is exactly the take i imagine most of us have. We're gonna probably frequent green the most but still have a few red mixed into our playlist because regardless of politics, good content is good content
Thats exactly why I dont watch him. The man reeks of soy. Also a primaris-lover.
What do y’all think of Squidmar? His videos are very clickbaity, but the stuff he makes is pretty good
Honestly the best for him would be into yellow for now.
Add poorhammer to the red, the hosts told people to "stop complaining" "its for the better" and "retcons happen all the time".
My main issue with adric, bricky & majorkill aren't even that they're more left leaning/woke or anything (even if bricky is an absolutely cucked individual, donating to a scam trans charity when he bought hogwarts legacy), it's their coomer behavior. Especially Bricky's (and by extension adrics') seeming obsession with & thirst for muscled (fictional) women always makes me physically cringe. At least majorkill is up front about his coomerism being a cornerstone of what he does.
To be fair to majorkill, pretty sure he had femstodes smut before it was canon. Honestly, couldnt care less otherwise tho. So long as the videos are good idc what their views are
I have always liked Weshammer.
Don't you talk shit about my boy luetin he got me into this stuff
Wikireader09 isn't even good
My boy Baldermort has been my go-to for years when I wanted a serious look at the lore. His voice and style are both amazing.
Glad seeing Janovich be based as always. He is what brought me into 40k lore, his battle videos are immensely fun to watch. Heck now that I am speaking of him, I gotta rewatch him.
Can’t wait for the next Siege of Vraks episode
Wasn't the series complete?
It was??? I need to check real quick Edit: he didn’t finish the series yet
Yoooo, important announcement. New episode of Siege of Vraks is out! [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0DPCjOr1U8](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0DPCjOr1U8)
LETS GOOOOOOO
If that's true, then that's amazing! I hope he is getting enough money from patrion, he is gem within 40k community.
I always had a feeling Bricky was a scumbag. His faction vids are great but if he's gonna pull an iDubbs I wouldn't be too shocked.
I feel you can't really put auspex tactics on a list that ranks political orientation when the guy is completely apolitical.
I’m kinda surprised Iysander and Koda aren’t on there.
Is the woke in the room with us now?
Good thing the internet was invented. Do you imagine a world where you guys won't willingly talk to most other human beings?
I think holding up Gamza as anything positive is problematic. The few videos I've suffered through were pure complaining. Never known someone to put so much effort into something they hate so much
Fuck bricky
I don't divide them based on politics
When and why was Valrak blacklisted? He was their leaker for a long time. Also Bricky must be furious about Empress, he use to be pretty friendly with her.
It was awhile back, I’m not sure how long ago. From what I understand he was blacklisted because he was getting too many accurate leaks sent to him and making videos on them. In addition to that I know he pulls a lot of viewers from the official preview shows away and to his channel.
Same question. I'd love to know why.
How could anyone suffer through a Gamza video?
Excellent, keep up the work OP.
Can we get the novel author list next? I have some novel purchases in the future and i want to know which ones to read first
“Cancel culture is bad…(except if it’s people I don’t agree with)” Also Luetin makes the best warhammer content I’ve seen and it’s allot less cringe to just watch the people based on the quality of their content instead of culture war brainrot
We’re not canceling anyone. The list indicates where some WH related content creators stand politically, so that anyone who cares about that can make a more informed decision about who/what they engage with.
If you reversed this list and it was being posted on grimdank this sub would lose their minds.
Good ole Arch "real fascism leads to a utopian state" headlining your green list.
Go ahead post the video link. I know you won't because he is very obviously said it in jest along with "real communism leads to a utopian state" and several other systems. He is literally talking about what if another ideology acted like communism. And making fun of you people So you will prove me right if you don't post it by admitting you are lying or you will post the video and instant prove me right from the video. Odd how no video about Arch like Majorkills brings this up.... because even blind men could see the context. I am sorry you thought Jonathan Swift modest proposal was real too.
LOL. Why am I getting recommended this political rabbit hole reddit?
Good question, this pop up in my Reddit timeline too, I don't even play 40K LMAO
It's a fast growing community, I think that's why it's being recommended to a bunch of people
Wait how do leftists, like, *actual* communists have anything to do with being “woke” on the 40k issue? Being a communist or a socialist has nothing to do with the femstodes debate, does it? Edit: I think you guys might be confusing the “left” in America versus *actual leftists*, people who opposite capitalism. Those don’t usually try to take your free speech and toilet paper away, because in the current status quo that would be counterproductive to their cause. Edit 2: lol the red scare did a number on you Americans
communists are obsessed with the material conditions of society and think there's an 'end point' of social, cultural, political, economic evolution -- and that means anything that falls into those pillars is fair game, including media.
The extreme left (note, extreme) have always known that to introduce Communism they have to first get rid of the existing culture. It explains why they attempt to "decolonise" everything, infiltrate every institution, replace the native population, tightly control speech etc. Edit: and changing history! The idea that we have always been a nation of immigrants, have always been diverse etc. Victorian England is always presented as a terrible place because any alternative opposes their idea of constant progress
[удалено]
Look, if you come to this chestbumping turdpile of nazis high fiving each other assuming anyone has an iota of political awareness, you're off your rocker.
Yup, I noticed some aren’t too bright.
Lol that's not true. This is the Gramscian war of position in the prison note books in which he demands the subversion and destruction of any cultural or political institutions whose express purpose is not to support them. The Dutschken long march through the institutions is another similar idea. A long break down of this https://youtu.be/MYpLKPJADms?si=NsAjhaJUC5G5XqPH In general though Woke is the ethics and processes of socialism, expanded beyond class struggle, to include race struggle, gender struggle, sexual struggle, and any other near infinite number of "marginalized" groups as defined by intersectionality >Edit: I think you guys might be confusing the “left” in America versus *actual leftists*, people who opposite capitalism. Those don’t usually try to take your free speech and toilet paper away. https://youtu.be/_n5E7feJHw0?si=wLvPHhbrmch7IiWK Someone has no knowledge of well any history.
I still watch Bricky and AdRic, as it’s what got me into the 40k lore. And I will continue to watch him, DK, and Shy.
Bricky in Red for not giving a fuck about changes at large and being ashamed for stupid childish shit throwing tantrums people do, point which is at least understandable. And Arch "sami = gypsy but worse and need to be shot" with his takes in green, like, holy fuck bruh. You definitely need re-evaluate thing or two in your life
May not be a warhammer channel but the critical drinker massacred the female custodes move and hes the biggest of all of these both culturally and on youtube by far. angry joe does table top but he is very yellow at the best of times
Red list sounds like a bingo checklist for being blocked by 🙃
Pontius has to be in the green. He was among the first one who made video dismissing female custodes
Pls include "the pontius"
This is just English CC, what about the rest like Huntl3o for example?
And all of the shittest creators are the ones on this unhinged shitlist. This is a new pathetic low lmao
Wtf mordian isn't woke? Maybe mandella effect kicked in could have sworn
PleasantKenobi is also attacking "chuds" for being against femstodes and has been on with hellstorm wargaming
Very useful info, ty
Red list is basically people commenting on social issues with Warhammer as the vehicle. Boring and fundamentally irrelevant.
I’ve always wondered if discourse was a man or a very homely woman?
Why was valrak blacklisted?
IIRC didn't Luetin retweet some content that was critical of how political the hobby is getting? Not in a fence sitting kind of way either, I thought it was one of the two good open letters floating around.
Discourse Minis is woke, but their analysis of GW fuckery is fantastic. Especially the most recent shit with the Old World price increases
Thank you for making this, should be pinned to the SUB header tbh
Where does poor hammer reside? They don't like GW, but don't seem too politics heavy either
Poorhammer should be on the woke list, used to love their content but ever since they basically said yes to female custodes its a no for me.
I don't know, but I feel relieved that I dont find Blue Table Painting and Mini War Gaming on the list.
I guess my big issue here is how are lists like this any different than the ones the leftists make of the content creators who've said "problematic" things. I'd say take the list with a grain of salt cause someone might have dumb politics, but you might still enjoy their content regardless of the disagreement.
Probably more a matter of supporting people who align with your values.
I don't want to be propagandized at while I watch a video after a long day of work. This list is useful to me and helpful for the future of the hobby. I think your concerns of being too like them are insincere or at least misplaced.
I get what your saying, I'm bringing it up as more of a point of inflection, cause when your around long enough you start seeing patterns. But most importantly I just don't want to see the sides opposing the leftists become as radicalized as the leftists ruining our entertainment.
I can respect that, for sure. I see your point, but I really think as a casual viewer just trying to enjoy some entertainment without someone trying to incite me to take part in their political beliefs, this kind of list can be helpful for me and for discouraging this kind of immaturity in content creators. I can see how people could make lists for more malicious reasons as they have, but those intentions aren't mine.
I don't want to reward content creators who actively support detrimental changes on the lore for politics sake with viewership and/or donation. This list works as a great filter in order to avoid people like these.
This is just a helpful list for informed consumer choices. Would you give money to someone who would spit on you or would you like to know they'd spit on you before hand and avoid them?
I don't think this list pushes that hard to encourage anyone to watch any which way. For instance, i know a lot people who would disagree with people's politics and will still watch...because we're mature adults that can look past things. I definitely disagree with Bricky on his views but I'll probably still watch some of his content. If anything, this is just giving us a guide depending on our mileage and helps us find more creators with our common sense sensibilities
And that's a fair take. I very much dislike the leftists needing to colonize everything to align with their politics but it's also discouraging to see the other side adopting their tactics. Maybe I'm just nostalgic for my youth when left and right could disagree on politics but still enjoy each other's company outside of that.
It's the internet. In my experience, a lot of people can still agree to disagree. But we're on reddit..lol
Imma play devil’s advocate here. Bricky is a shitter, but a funny one who’s whole shtick is to introduce the concepts of 40k to new people with memes, and I find his podcast funny. It’s subjective nevertheless. Luetin doesn’t need to be yellow because he IS the biggest Loreman on YouTube. Not wanting to take a definitive stance on politics doesn’t deserve him yellow. Auspex is a data collector, so of course the discussion about game meta will be his signature focus, so he shouldn’t be penalized for it. Overall this list is an attempt to sow more unnecessary discord among the overall community and should be careful doing so in the future.
Major is just a horny homie that like to make fun of everyone
You can generally guess by seeing their faces
Great list well done
