I was at my local gameshop a couple of days ago, and a new person came in with an army. We welcomed him in and asked him if he played 40K. He said he did, and the two other people I was with and I said we'd play with him to welcome him to the shop.
He pulls out Imperial Guard, but they were a little unique to put it lightly. I didn't quite recognize what the scheme was. To sate my curiosity, asked him if it was a homebrew chapter. He said yes, and his army was based on the Gor series. You know the one that is entirely based on BDSM and makes 50 Shades of Grey look tame in comparison.
I told him that was neat because I didn't really care to find out more. He then went on a twenty-minute rant about how that lifestyle is perfectly acceptable and how the neckbeards of this game are no better because of Slaanesh as evidence in our shop. Despite the other armies being Iron Warriors, Blood Ravens, and Dark Eldar.
All in all, it was arguably one of the most uncomfortable experiences I've had playing the game. I'm not saying 40K doesn't have shades of that but at the same time a twenty-minute rant over sexual lifestyles while trying to shoot some heretics is still fucking weird.
Cringeworthy experience for you all?
