I just like funny rats with funny guns, I didn’t know the fash loved them

The Hrud are neat too though
Skaven are ancaps, and even fictional ancaps are highly disgusting, though to be fair some lefty players are not lost on this fact and some good content is produced because of that. Unfortunately, skaven are the chosen faction of a lot of absolute worst insufferable dregs among the fashdom due to overlapping of nazi and libertarian ideas.
Hrud are pretty cool, one of the not many factions in 40k which aren't the one time disposable xenos and are still really alien because they don't even really understand material reality, unfortunately their innate powers make them a real pest.
Oh yeah the skaven are possibly the most evil and deplorable faction in fantasy/AoS and that’s saying something. I just find them so funny and endearing ngl; they’re little rats with no regard for the value of ethics, safety, morals, hygiene, or life in general, with the most cartoonishly evil mad scientist aesthetic you’ve ever seen. They are absolutely not to be taken seriously, and the thought of some fans looking on the skaven in any sort of serious positive light is……..
Given it’s the Warhammer fandom I really shouldn’t be surprised though
