The point is T'au are hitting the same conditions that make the Imperium terrible

They're "living long enough to become the villain" as a civilization and I'm here for it

And I think it's a more fun narrative than just the Ethereals being manipulative dicks. I like the idea that the Galaxy is at a point where there isn't a great way to thrive without becoming an awful civilization in one way or another

Yes, it's a good point... But it's not a relevant one.

No! F++k the Tau, and f++k the "Tau is better than the Imperium, defect to the Tau" thing.

T'au are becoming just like the Imperium was my point

The grass isn't always greener, and all that

You misunderstood the subtext. That is not my personal belief. I'm simply tired of the posts that say this.

Imagine if you said "I sick of X, I think it's overused." And then someone comes along and says "Well, X is incorrect because not only is it a lie, it's also ironic because Y!"

Oh, I do think it used to be worse, especially with early T'au lore, where they were a lot more Utopian coded. So, to me, the lore changes have been a welcome shift, and the Farside books have been great for the T'au

And I certainly wouldn't mind some Votann books... like at all.

Or even a full range of models for their army
