Because Warhammer is cool and reactionaries shouldn't get to have all the fun.

Welp, time to catch some flak, I guess. You see, I actually like the Imperium. Now, I don't think they are "good guys" in any shape or form, Emperor forbid. I just like the style. Mark III Power armour just looks awesome, fite me.
AdMech is also cool, although I disagree heavily with GWs decision to make them steampunk/Da Vinci styled. Should've stuck with Blanche-esque horrific post-apocaliptic techno-barbarianism.
Finally I will say this. I've been around multiple Warhammer communities and multiple RPs. And there's one thing I have learned - all factions are cool in their own way, it's the fans that suck and make everything terrible
Can't say I blame you. Funnily enough, I've not met that many legit Imperium supporters among the fans, there's maybe one person who simps for Great Crusade era specifically, but that's about it. Other Imperium fans I know are pretty honest about it being a shithole.
What gets me are unironic necron simps. Now those I've seen a-plenty. It's one thing to acknowledge they have some cool and advanced technology, it's a completely different thing to go "well they see a galaxy filled with vermin and they're right to want everyone dead".
I just want to clarify that I don't think the Necrons are right in wanting everything dead. I just get why terrible space Egyptians would believe that they are right. I like that they are very upfront and honest about being dickheads.
There are unironic Necron simps? I must say i seen those for basically every faction even for fucking Tyranids and Drukhari but never for Necrons, Necron players i met are always about their notably cool aesthetics and/or being Tomb Kings in space.
I know maybe two. Can't say I've met drukhari simps that don't acknowledge them being horrible
That's the point, they do acknowledge them being horrible but still simp for them and whitewash them "at least they are honest yadda yadda".
