Is he considered weird by the rest of the Eldar for fricking human slaves? Is it seen as zoophilia by them? Or is it standard for Dark Eldar?

I can't think of any time it's been explicitly stated Vect has sex with his slaves. I think it's just a hold over from the skimpy pinup slaves from the 90's.
The only time I can think of Vect interacting with a slave was when he had one brought in to drink some wine and hear the story of the fall of the Eldar. Then when the story is over he tells the slave the wine he's been drinking causes excruciating pain to the human digestive tract.
Why is GW suddenly so prudish? I mean, yeah, who really wants 40k writers to delve into love stories or explicit sex scenes? But it feels like they're going out of their way to steer clear of anything remotely sexual, even when it comes to factions like the Dark Eldar and Emperor's Children. It's like they're avoiding that stuff like the plague.
Increased parental scrutiny and market research indicating their demographic is very young.
While we were all probably equally young when we were getting into 40k, parents weren't looking into it nearly so closely (nor were they able to broadcast their findings).
Soo the daemonculaba is ok, the Dark Eldar enslaving millions and tourturing them is ok and the EC doing their shit is ok, but saying that the Dark Eldar frick their slaves is too much?
>Soo the daemonculaba is o
Thats a minor thing that was mentioned in one single book written like a decade ago and never since.
There should be more shit like it.
>there should be more "ow the edge" machines that don't actually succeed in producing chaos marines but just make skinless freaks that worship the Emperor
After a few millenia, sex and most of the stuff you think is edgy and cool are going to be really boring for DE and EC.
Honestly the alien excesses being unknown and strange is a lot more interesting than lolsexo.
Yeah, Yeah. But the sexual stuff shouldn't be ignored.
If you want a wild ride, go and read the Ian Watson Inquisition War series. Its got all kinds of slaaneshi psychosexual stuff in it.
I get why they're not marketing it hard though, while my sympathies for marketing is low, it would be difficult to walk various tightropes of not offending anyone while still trying to look cool.
They should offend everyone and cater to middle aged lonely nerds with an anne frank fetish
The first one was a total letdown. It felt like some bottom-tier fanfiction, although I have to admit there were a few cool parts, no lie. Does it actually get any better?
No, I would argue it gets worse.
The good "worse" or the bad "worse"?
Both but mostly the bad worse. The Star Child stuff is fricking stupid and only TTS Alfabusa secondaries like it.
Its old and different. Only DoW entry point gays dislike it.
Well, it did have a EC Marine rape people using dogs that were attached to his dick
>the actual author feels like fan fiction
>you know what warhammer 40k needs? more sex
Confirmed for having no taste.
Frick off, Ian.
>look up his wikipedia
Huh, he's still alive. Didn't expect that.
sure but how are you gonna frick people when you burned your dick off slowly with a volkite 10,000 years ago to see if it was the greatest orgasm ever
Sex is just something they do while slowly killing the victim to make some kind of super viagra out of their pleasured death screams
But anon tortured victim is the viagra. There is even story of imperial nobles who got caught and turned into dance floor decoration that was emanating refreshing pain for eldar dancing there.
>Why is GW suddenly so prudish
Oh, I don't know anon, why is nerd culture and entertainment becoming increasingly prudish about a ton of shit? If only there was something that's been occurring for over a decade... I can't put my finger on it...
truly a mystery.
Nerd culture began becoming prudish because of the satanic panic and Christian authors like Salvatore decades before whatever wokeness you're whinging about.
Also - for GW in particular - the increased growth in America and associated eyeballs. Though in truth they've always adopted a 'fade to black' for sexy fun times as far as I can recall, though doubtless this is someone's cue to bring up something the BL put out 30 years ago that I've long forgotten.
The only thing I can think of that was almost explicit was the turbo-murder-rape rock opera the Emperor's Children put on in one of the early HH novels. It's also the only time I had ever heard of Astartes having working genitalia.
From memory the psychoinduction crap marines go through was really lax in the HH days, to the point where they mostly remember who they were beforehand, act mostly human, have human impulses, etc.
That's moronic. The Satanic Panic era was the absolute pinnacle of gaming Edge.
Sure thing, Zoomer.
Its genuinely pathetic how much you homosexuals hang onto a few soccer moms with no power complaining at you that one time.
its hard to sell things that have explicit references to sex like legally and publicly its why slaanesh can look bdsmy but they only ever just kill people or do drugs.
Kid brings home a picture of a demon with its breasts out blasting a nun in the vag with an uppercut from a shark toothed bone arm and it’s all over.

Do you think that he'd post on /b/ or on /misc/?
He'd post on /tg/ and /d/.
He's a /d/M of much renown.
he looks like he has a pussy
Jesus Christ, aside from the culture war whining nobody has answered the question proposed by the OP (who is also a homosexual btw).
So, on the topic of Eldars shagging humans: Is it seen as zoophilia by them? Or is it standard for Dark Eldar?
It's more than likely seen as analogous to having sex with a chimp or a gorilla, which is either literally zoophilia or seen as some kind of sex act with a lesser species which is disgusting enough to be just as bad in the first place. I'm sure raping captives to inflict pain is probably not outside of the standards of morality in Commorragh, but I'm also sure that if the goal is to torment captives and inflict agonies on them and drink their souls, there's probably immeasurably better ways to do it. There's also probably organic meat-shafts and tentacled pleasure-polyps to satisfy Dark Eldar sexual urges. I can't really see them seeing humans as anything more than chattel slaves, used for immediate purposes when needed and sold around when not.
So Vect in Eldar eyes is a zoophile?
Vect in Eldar eyes is a degenerate in ways that literally cannot be comprehended by human morality. Him possibly having sex with aliens would be such a minor blip on the radar that accusations of Mengele being a litterer might touch familiar strings.
Do you actually have reason to believe Vect has sex with Mon'keigh?
His model is like a damn pimp-mobile, with scantily clad human women groveling at his feet. I mean, come on, isn't that enough?
They should modernize it.
Prudishness is based. Sex and sexuality are disgusting. Behead all coomers.
I hate Gav Thorpe so much
He will continue to kill millions of eldar for books and you will not be able to do anything to stop it.
We could, in theory, kill him.
I know. Which is why I hate him. Also how he completely writes off any and all criticism of how he writes Eldar
How did he write off the criticism?
Essentially he has an uncompromising view of how Eldar should be. In his mind they should be a dying race and they are but his execution of that is to portray them as incompetent moronic cowards. Keep in mind that LoTR elves are on decline too but whenever they showed up they were awesome
Some Gav Thorpe highlights:
>no name Space Marine and Guard chapter invading Altoic, one of the biggest Craftworlds, while several Phoenix Lords are present
>setting up FORTIFICATIONS INSIDE THE CRAFTWORLD
>Eldar weapons suddenly unable to pierce Space Marine armour
>Phoenix Lord dying to a Dreadnaught
>Aspect Warriors RUNNING AWAY IN FEAR at sight of Space Marines
>Eldar begging Space Marines to have mercy
Second
>Howling Banshees and Swooping Hawks doing nothing but getting slaughtered by Night Lords
>Jain Zar dying to krak grenades suicide
Third
>entire cast of Eldar named characters jobbing to a HOLOGRAM of a Greater Daemon
Now imagine the same happening to Imperium
That is some next level spite and it can't
be healthy. I don't like tieflings and whatever race du jour people are playing but I'd at least try to write them as competent fighters if I had the job. Did an Eldar player steal Thorpe's girlfriend?
Gav claims to love Eldar and to be fair then he writes Eldar fluff, culture and history it's pretty good. But everytime he writes a battle scene he writes shit like this
Oh and I forgot to mention, Ynnari storyline ended with Eldar cast of named characters jobbing to Greater Daemon at 1% power after it revealed that the last MacGuffin they need already belongs to Slaanesh making Ynnari's quest pointless. And then GW cancelled the "trilogy". Could you imagine Imperial named characters ALL OF THEM jobbing to Greater Daemons? Could you imagine them failing to achieve anything? Not even a pyrrhic victory? Could you imagine Ultramar being invaded by unnamed Necron dynasty and Ultramarines begging on their knees to have mercy? All of this in their own books?
Is there any question why nobody reads this garbage? And don't say xenos can't have interesting books just look at Inginite and the Divine
Now what Gav is gone Eldar are likely to never get books ever again and that's an improvement
>He will continue to kill millions of eldar for books and you will not be able to do anything to stop it.
He doesn't even think millions of eldar exist
For him, thousands of Eldar basically represent the most the Eldar are able to field even in major battles
This is what happens when fantasy writers don't adapt to sci-fi well
Also the Ynnari series got cancelled so he probably won't be allowed to write for Eldar for a while
