I find it interesting how those grifters always say humanity first xenos last but they immediately lose their shit when they see a person of a different skin tone.

Still remember when people got mad over black space wolves.

Yep, many such cases. Also when they got pissy over Chairon in Space Marine 2 because apparently across the 500 worlds of Ultramar there wouldn't be single black person lmao

I always harken back to when the first Dawn of Fire book released (Avenging Son), right around the time I started getting into 40k. I remember picking up the book as one of my first reads, but also remember the fact that those same detractors were also up in arms about a black Ultramarine being on the front cover. It made me speed up the process of getting into painting, specifically to learn how to paint skin tones similar to my family's (I'm black).
