Been thinking a lot about this

>So the warp, as the realm of souls, originally was a creation of the old ones as a weapon against the necrontyr in the war of heaven. It allowed not only a means for the Aeldari and Krorks to use psychic powers, but also cheat death and allow them to respawn infinitely.
>But after the war in heaven the warp is destabilized due to the negative emotions, death, and general usage. There's no more old ones to fix it either.
>Now the "warp" sends those same negative emotions at the Aeldari who in turn start going crazy. They start doing their murder orgies, but it's not really fair to blame them as they are influenced by the warp. The same thing is known to happen to human psykers as well. The warp make psykers, especially untrained ones, crazy and emotional. In long terms it uses them to gain more power and access to realspace. REMEMBER THIS.
>This creates a feedback loop where the the negative emotions make the mortals crazy and in turn have the negative emotions to fuel the warp. Ultimately resulting in slaanesh. khorne nurgle and tzeentch are likely started in the war in heaven, but finished during humanity's early era when human psykers start showing up.

I bring all of this up because when you factor in the Emperor's ultimate plan of "unlocking humanity's psychic potential" Holy fuck no! Being a psyker has obvious strengths, but apparently not so obvious weaknesses. Making all of humanity psykers is going to stir the warp up and drive the populace insane. It doesn't help that this same guy is also
>culling his own kind for not agreeing with him.
>making bargains with the same force he's supposed to be against.
>giving radio silence to anyone about the warp. The ONE thing that might at least stave back the side effects of warp usage. Craftworlders have mental training and disciplined lifestyles and they're some of the best psykers (though it's not a foolproof strategy) Bare minimum start killing anyone caught using the warp (Ironically the inquisition that everyone hates is better at ruling the imperium than the fucking emperor.)

NO!
Instead of doing anything to actually fight chaos, he kills a bunch of humans for calling him a faggot, kills a bunch of aliens, and then fucks off to work on a webway portal. Y'know that thing that was broken and contaminated by deamons when the Aeldari fell? To avoid the deamons encountered in warptravel?

When does this make sense? When does his actions actually benefit humanity that's not himself? People chalk this up to "Daddy issues", but there wasn't a need for primarchs in the first place! You didn't need super-generals for what the great crusade accomplished. There was no need to go that fast besides the obvious advantage of your enemies have it hard strategizing against you.

Even without Erebus, Horus, Lorgar or any of the other characters that supposedly """"ruined everything""""" His idea was doomed to fail. Why? Because like EVERY chaos worshiper
>He saw the immaterium
>He failed to understand it.
>He tries to use it anyway because it's just a weapon to him.
>It blows up in his face.

He's a bad dad because he's a bad everything.

Cool reddit spacing, fag

Chaos and the heresy weren't even a part of the game when the emperor's goal was to guide human evolution, there were just the enslavers. At any rate I think you're trying to overly analyze a setting that doesn't make sense and also you should delete this post and post it in /40kg/.

I hate him and think the more they try to make him anything but a mysterious force in the lore, the worse it gets.

Also, 40k is rapidly approaching the point of no return. It's almost a zombie franchise.

Warp was not created by the Old Ones, they simply used it.
