Helsreach and Grimdark Gamergate
Nov 5, 2023
In the grim dark future, there is only show notes. Are you MAN enough to pick up an absurd set of sentences and hold the line alongside literally overwrought walking metaphors? We're covering Helsreach, a fan made movie in the Warhammer 40k universe, and discussing both the philosophy of Grimdark and the interestingly related philosophy of Gamergate. We discuss why 40k is one of the last major holdouts in the Gamergate wars.
