games

I really don't think people who like painting goofy miniatures of armored dudes wielding chainsaw guns are any more predisposed to fascism than anyone else.

Have you actually participated in 40k games, especially ones in large shared areas with actual maps set out?

I played Orks for years in local venues. Of course not everyone was a fascist or even "ironically" a fascist (Tau players were generally cool), but it sounds like unobserved knee-jerk presumption to say that there's no difference between the general population's fascist density and that of those coming to such organized games with their SPEHS MEHREENS and telling players a table or two away that might have dyed hair or even a rainbow bracelet that they are (slurs) that should be exterminatus'd. That isn't something I've ever heard from the general population outside of such games or related online material.

As long as those chuds pretended it was "just kidding" or "just getting into the mood" the organizers wouldn't do anything. I think I saw one such fascist actually get kicked out, but that was mostly for throwing things and having a tantrum, not necessarily the part where he was telling a (slur) that they deserved to burn in holy Promethium.
