💡 Why is this funny instead of just promotional?
40k's tagline is 'in the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war' — an endless dystopia. Asking fans to pick a vacation spot there is the joke.vs. like a nuclear-wasteland horror page asking 'where would you honeymoon?'Klore note
💡 What's the 'reincarnation' joke about?
Isekai (reincarnation into another world) is a popular escapist trope in Korean/Japanese pop culture. Commenters joke 40k is the one world nobody wants that trope applied to.vs. like joking you got isekai'd into a bunker, not Middle-earth.Klore note

    Even the extremist weirdos in the Warhammer fandom don't actually want to go there lol. So why do they keep trying to send us?

    워해머 팬덤에서 문제되는 극단적인 사상 가진 팬들도 사실 저기로 가고 싶어하진 않음 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ 근데 왜 우릴 자꾸 보내려고 들어 ㅋㅋㅋ

    It's a cool universe because it's not happening to you, not one you'd actually want to live in

    It's a comedy from far away, but up close it's not even tragedy, it's just despair

    멀리서 보니깐 희극인거지 가까이 가서 보면 비극이 아니라 절망임

    'I'm a fan of Warhammer 40k so I wanna reincarnate there!' Anyone who says that is insane, just stay away from them lol

    '내가 워해머 서기4만년~의 팬이라 거기로 전생하고 싶어요!' 그런 사람들은 광인이니 멀리하시면 됩니다. ㅎㅎ
