>The God-Emperor legitimately considered these little guys to be an existential threat to humanity's existenceWas it autism?
>>98524392I wouldn't know, I have the generals filtered.
EW A BUG! Get the shoe and kill it before it lays eggs!
The Tau rations are talkinghttps://youtu.be/5QmvEbphF8c
>>98524392They're using the bowl wrong.
The Imperium really needs it's "Never ask a racial supremacist who they're dating" moment.
>>98525408them?>inb4 "that's memelore"memelore is more fun than real lore
>>98524392Do not be decieved. Those small xenos plot the doom of mankind.
>>98524392Nuke this faggot creatures planet to ashes NOW
Do you ever get tired of shitting up this board? You've made it unusable for the past 6 years.
>>98524392Doesn't the imperium protect a world with a race of intelligent xenos space cows, something about the inquisition giving them the ok in exchange for their milk?
>>98525424Spoken like a true quarternary
>>98530452Eldar women are not cows!
>>98524392AAAA KILL IT FAST
>>98525424Stop saving samples you drooling retard.
>>98524392He probably meant those other guys. You know the ones.
>>98524811Is this AI? That looks like someone made a little pond for his crab.
>>98532160Its for divination.
>>98524392CUTE
>>98530452>Doesn't the imperium protect a world with a race of intelligent xenos space cows, something about the inquisition giving them the ok in exchange for their milk?The Tau?
>>98524392>You are right.>You are not our enemy.>We have NO enemy beyond the Kzer-Za, our partners in the eternal conflict.>You are simply... a spore, a seed.>Today you are nothing... insignificant.>But if allowed to bloom and grow someday... someday, you might represent a threat to our freedom and security.>So we cleanse.
>>98532160>Turning to crabs, Nggàm is a practice from Western Cameroon, used to divine knowledge of, or advice about the future.>This practice primarily uses the landcrab Sudanonautes aubyri, which is common in Cameroon.>In order to begin the divination, or reading, an inhabited crab hole is found and an upturned pot is placed on top. The bottom of this pot is then removed and replaced with a tin cover so that the crab’s burrow can be observed.>The divination uses leaves and these are neatly stacked a small distance from the crab burrow. A stick and a stone are placed in the hole, these are used to find the answer.>A stone is then rubbed around the mouth of the pot while the diviner blows into the pot and calls for the crab to come out.>Two of the leaves are then placed over the crab hole and the question is put forward by the diviner who taps the side of the pot in rhythm with the speech. The questions are asked in relation to either the stick or the stone.>Once the questions have been asked, the diviner sits back for ten to fifteen minutes as the crab moves the various objects around inside the hole.>This practice is often done with two crab holes simultaneously so that the answers match up. Crab divination is also regularly conducted over several days. Only if multiple pots over several days give the same answer will it be believed.>The process of reading the crab’s responses is not something that just anyone can do, it takes many years of practice and expertise to correctly interpret the crab’s movements.>Crabs are clearly spiritually significant animals and the practice of Nggàm is not to be taken lightly, unlike Paul the Octopus.RTVRN TO CRB
>>98524392The artist who made this argues seriously that transgender tau are canon. It's bizarre.
>>98538696Tau would study the brains of trans people to figure out what is damaged and attempt to fix it with their advanced technology.
All returns to crab. In the end.
>>98524392In this setting they crawl up your ass and explode into acid-covered thorns.
>>98540803This, but as a serious attack, and not silly whatsoever.
>>98538655Who's Paul?
>>98530452Since when? There was older lore about the Imperium putting one species on a preservation, basically, but they died anyways because they kept getting harvested for valuable materials.
>>98543308Oracular octopus sports fan from 2010.
>t'au
>>98543308Paul on my balls nigga
>>98524409lol
>>98538835They were able to cure transexuality with anti-psychotics. It wouldn't be hard for the Tau to do the same.
>>98538696I mean , why not.I guess their is a wierd part with "efficiency" guys like >>98538835saying that after enough tecnological power trannies would not exist.but trannies should not matter for something like the tau unless you are doing some virtue signaling shit with them.
>>98550335I could believe there were tranny taus (maybe its something that could happen in any intelligent species that has gender?), but I think the most likely response from Tau society would probably be to consider it a mental defect to be fixed with medicine or brain surgery.
>>98551331That seems totally uncharacteristic for the tau especially since their men and women look almost identical and there are no particular social roles that we know of that are sex segregated. Even in reproduction they prefer test tube babies. Plus they could probably just straight up change someone’s sex if they wanted to…
>>98551331>>98551353I guess I just find the idea of getting a lobotomy , when the tau could have giga hrt and super surgeries to be wierd. but I guess it depends on what you think "fixing" trannyism. my best guess you have to plan and budget and justify why you are doing it yourself , and if you do its all great.but if you can't you get to fuck yourself , just ignore it for the greater good.I mean , their are a lot of illneses in 40k that if you have , you just have to ignore and passively suffer and feed some caos god. problably depends on cast though.I could see the argument than maybe the tau would realise how ineffective trannies are without propper treatment, so they help them do a perfect transition , maybe with a fine or a condition added in for that. and at the other side you could argue treatment is not transitioning is just taking away a part of your brain , or taking antipsycotics.but both of those sound too homohomo for me , just for different reasons.other factions could do something interesting with trannies , but it does seem like a nothing burger for the tau , since it just eventually becomes a virtue signaling question of either trans inclusive or exclusive feminists. I don't know , they fucking eat all the trannies because grimdark , trannies just taste really good , so you need to give up your body for the greater good or something.
>>98551353>their men and women look almost identical and there are no particular social roles that we know of that are sex segregatedI mean yeah, like 90% of sexual dysmorphia issues really stem more from "Gender" as a social construct derived from a bunch of haphazard local factors.>>98551521>I don't know, they fucking eat all the trannies because grimdark, trannies just taste really good, so you need to give up your body for the greater good or something.But honestly, yeah, going full Grimderp is probably the best way 40k could go about this.
>>98551564>But honestly, yeah, going full Grimderp is probably the best way 40k could go about this.I think their is something interesting you could make with trannies in 40k , they actually connect to basically every part of the setting in a wierd way , I have no idea why.I can explain to you how , but some parts will be missing.but like who gives a shit about its potencial , when we all know it will be done badly , its fine to have the tranny character once in a while as just a sci fi thing , I guess.but anything else than that , will be done badly. I think.
>>98524405You filtered the 40k gens to avoid them but still enter 40k threads? Why?>>98525424What are the worst examples of Warhammer 40k memelore? I don't know if the Guilliman x Yvraine counts as it is just a crack shipping.But it is funny.
>>98524392He didn't. The "Kill all Xenos for existing" is the end result of 10,000 years of brainrot and chinese whispers about his orders and their meaning. But no one remembers those bits of the lore anymore.
>>98550333They what?
>>98538696I thought Tau were somewhat resistant to chaos?
>>98557000They're resistant to chaos in the sense that they barely have souls and are atheists. That makes it harder for demons to find them but demons will spread their cheeks and turn them into flesh kaleidoscopes given the chance. Fortunately their doctrine of running away and sniping with long range sun guns really helps then avoid all the hell raiser bs.
>>98556610>The "Kill all Xenos for existing" is the end result of 10,000 years of brainrotIt was his policy during the Great Crusade.
>>98538402>fighting is unnatural for herbivores
>>98560503>Anon never saw charging bull, apparently.
>>98550333That's not a cure, that's a treatment.Though I gladly admit it is still vastly better than the current policy of validation and enabling.
>>98550335If you seriously think an authoritarian state with an ideology based on sublimating the self in order to achieve social harmony, would have any kind of tolerance for that, you have misunderstood the fundamentals at play.You would unironically be more likely to find sickly radioactive troons living in the bottom of an Imperial hive city, who got a rip-job from a rogue doc.
>>98567280or just be lowerhive scum and just wear human leather made of foids
>>98567312Be a good Night Lords kitbash with some green stuff.
>>98524392they love Tau cuisine, so
I'm just learning now that evolution seems to favor crabs. This disturbs me greatly.
>>98571104Evolution favours quite a few things, Crabs have evolved like two dozen times indepentantly. Caffine has evolved like six times indpendantly. In similar situations they find similar solutions.
>>98571104
>>98567280you can have tolerance for trannies , but only if them transitioning would be for the greater good and if it isn't you can go fuck yourself.it might even need to wierd character desitions , specially in war.
>>98538696>cutesy artist of warhammer 40k is a grifter for culture warWeird that this happened a few times. Is this a known pattern?
>>98572829Groomers often infantilize things are are obsessed with children's cartoons
>>98530452Obvious fetish bait aside, as >>98543310 said the imperium did sanction intelligent aliens once because their bodies could be processed into rejuvat serum. They went extinct.
>>98551331The tau wouldn't bother with changing anything unless it interfered with work.They absolutely would threaten to ship your ass to a asylum if you slipped on quota tho.
>>98560503>>98566009Well, considering the Grox which is what more than half the imperium uses as cattle it doesn't surprise me that natural herbivores look tame in comparison.
>>98568954Sometimes I wonder if a real night lord conversion that actually visually conveys their nature of gory trophies would be too much for normies.
>>98580862Just make it so that the victim is a white male and no one will care
>>98550335Trannies exist for a few reasons>groomers Surely the Tau have some leaders who crave novelty. Think of eunuchs and catamites raised this way. >dimorphism: inheritance of traits isn't always universal.. Women with broad jaws, chins, shoulders, hairy women, or men with angelic faces, long eyelashes, oval face, small hands etc etc. Without external pressure, dimorphism becomes a tug of war between the base fetishes. Sometimes a feat that aligns with one side is reached with unisex genome, and it aids one sex but hinders the other. >life optimization patternsIf one sex is getting everything, people will want to be them. >religious reasonsReaching the culmination of two polarities is seen as ascension among the occultists and shamanic teachings, with gods often having multiple genders they can wield like a man picking his cloak. Why people seem to think that it's not possible>the technology to alter bodies isn't good enough >male bone structure is hideous and the contrast reveals this>culture war side has been selected and the trench has been dugTransgenderism is cybernetics. See it as power with a cost.
>>98571104It's just Slaanesh.
>>98567280China banned femboys from video games but are quite pro-transgender. They won't allow for promotion but aren't interested in a fight. Indeed, due to the excrss male population they may even see it as an opportunity.
>>98551521>they help them do a perfect transitionOnly in your fetish fantasy land. No serious civilization would cure mental illness with pointless surgery when drugs would do. The elevation of trannies in our society exists because Blackrock thought they'd be politically useful and a bunch of people went completely insane thanks to brainwashing.
>>98551521>>98581253Maybe if you were some bigshot Tau, you'd get the deluxe option of a bunch of surgery but the grunts are probably just given a pill and told to get back to work.
>>98581779They'd quietly kill you then pretend there was an accident for the greater good.
>>98538450Damn I had this game as a small child. What was it again?
>>98581786Maybe if they were yelling at the local guevesa grunts and wagies with "IT'S MA'AM!" tier demands it'd provide a good excuse to get rid of them, but if they're well behaved and don't cause trouble it'd probably just be seen as some harmless quirk.
>>98555702>You filtered the 40k gens to avoid them but still enter 40k threads?>Why?Autism.
>>98581825I mean in retrospect it might be a “you missed the general” troll post to be less obvious to mods.The generals are a mess so it makes sense why anons who want to talk about warhammer make threads about warhammer.
>>98571104Carcinisation only happen with Crustaceans. People act like other Arthropods or even non Arthropods constantly evolve into crab form
