KZfaq & GAMESWORK PLEASE READ - This channel started years ago with this man using a cartoon avatar to make What If videos about warhammer lore. But about a year ago this man thought that it would be hilarious and profitable to openly use the N-WORD on this platform. Before this this man has made a comfortable career attacking, mocking as well as sending death threat to the Autistic Community. And in recent months this man started selling LOLLI PORNOGRAPHY using Gamesworkshop’s Intellectual property without the company’s permission behind his patreon pay wall. This man has constantly gone against KZfaq’s Terms and Services. When KZfaq took down the video where he laughed at using the N-word, this man re-uploaded the same video with a minor edit so that he could have a second laugh. When the community tries to cancel him for his horrible behavior that is exactly when he discontinued his cartoon avatar and started Parading in front of the camera. He doubled down constantly saying phrases along the line “I’ll do whatever I want”. For a hobby with a recommended age of 13 and older this can not be helpful for the community. I was 13 when I stepped into the GW for the first time, and over the years I saw other unhinged man-children in the shop doing saying the exact same things as this individual. And every single time a parent would hear the exact words from those men come out of their children’s and they all received life bans. How is this any different? KZfaq’s platform allows him reach kids on an international level, he is directly responsible for creating the future RACISTS, SEXUAL PREDATORS, and CHRISCHANS. KZfaq, Gamesworkshop and the sponsors that allow this behavior to continue are allowing themselves to associated with criminal activities. To any other critics who have also received death threat from this man, call his local authorities for questioning. And let me remind everyone that these actions of his are only the tip of the iceberg. To Gamesworkshop, he has made a following on KZfaq that is close to your very own. On KZfaq. WHY? Because your lore videos are boring(no offense), leaving parts of the community to funnel into this channel. On his live feeds he getting large donations from individuals, that money could be going directly into your own pockets. If you want to direct your customers into profitable lore videos, then GIVE THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT. Write a script that you are passionate about, cut the check and sent it to Superman. If you can some how pull that off, you will make a believer out of me and many others. I would even help with the cost by going back to my local Warhammer store and buy me some blood angels. To my close friends that were offended and then told by this man to shrug it off, I’m sorry. This disturbed man can not change his ways because he had years to prove it. And finally to you Majorkill- A dweeb who hides in sleeveless under armour is still a dweeb. You’ll never get rid me me

I feel like Grey Knights are unlikely to fall to Chaos by virtue of simply being highly powerful psykers, who had been trained by a whole order of similar individuals, who stood in Emperor's presence and who battled demons daily. *They simply don't believe in "gods"* To them Chaos is just another xeno, no different from any other.
