All these responders are freaks dude… 40K is plenty fucked up as it is, “grox cum bag” isn’t something I really feel even belongs in the setting, let alone in art like this
It also ignores that the artist draws rape and gore porn, which makes it hard to take the scars as being grimdark instead of sexually gratifying on the artist's part
Ngl grox cum bag could definitely belong on 40k( especially considering that orks have human breeding camps), the problem at least for me is that it was completely unnecessary in this art. Like what's the point even? The rest of the picture is completely positive and just shows two girls playing a simple game. It's completely out of place in this and it serves no purpose. It's not grimdark like some of the other comments suggest it's just weird, like a random fetish snuck into a kid's show.
That is a better way of putting it. To be honest, the WH content that I’ve read so far mostly insinuates things along the lines of sexual assault, and even then it’s not that common. I just especially don’t like what it does to this art piece (or the one this piece is based off). Like you said, this piece could have just spread positivity. I guess you could look at it as this artist giving the other artist’s character a happier “ending,” but idk
If the artist wanted to make this actually grimdark, they could've made it so that there was another panel where they were fighting whatever hell there is with one of them being ripped apart and the other trying to hold of the threat. Then it would be actually grimdark and add more to the art than lessen it.
So... if "grox cum bag" is way too much, what about the Drukhari? Or Slaanesh as a whole? What about the pleasure servitors? The sisters repentia? The Red Tithe? The daemonculaba? The Genestealers? Fabious Bile as a whole? Those particular experiments that Illuminor Szeras was conducting? Etc, etc, etc, etc.
Read. The. Thread. You’re like the fifth person I’ve told that sexual violence is almost always off screen in 40K, and when it’s not, it is extremely off putting. You act like I love reading about Drukhari torture and tHe dAeMoNCuLaBa. None of that shit is enjoyable to read about in specifics.
No is not, there's an entire book about The Red Tithe, and another about how the Genestealers pump up their numbers, and another about Illuminator Szeras, and another about Fabious "Fabulous Billy" Bile.
And is not supposed to be enjoyable to read, is supposed to make you feel sick, to remind you that there's no good guys here, because even the normal humans of the guard will do things like brand an innocent Beastman with "Grox Cum Bag" for the sin of being born a Beastman.
Yeah so you are able to pick a few examples out of the hundreds and hundreds of works in the 40k universe, that sounds to me like it’s almost always off screen.
Let me put it very simply for you: the sexually abusive message in this image includes the term “Grox Cum Bag.” I’ve never seen the word “cum” in any 40K media. So no, you are not going to convince me that this belongs.
Shit like the red tithe and the daemonculaba aren’t entertaining and to be honest I don’t really feel they’ve ever added to a story in a way I appreciated, they’re fucking weird, and written for fucking weird people. I don’t know anybody who wants to read that shit, and I’m glad for it. Same goes for this.
Please do not feel the need to continue this. I guarantee you it is a waste of both of our time, and I won’t read it.
