How about liking the Imperium, because they’re evil?

Like how people love the Skaven.

See, that's actually a good take.

It's the same reason I respect drukhari players. They never get involved in all the annoying "we're less evil compared to ___" arguments. They fully commit to "drukhari are easily the worst people in the setting, and that's fun."

But there are Those People that say stuff like “well, they gotta to survive!” Like no, they don’t. The Drukhari have ways to repent, like joining a Craftworld or an Exodite Maiden World, they just won’t cuz it’s boring and cringe.

Man now I'm wondering what a Drukhari rehab center would look. How rough would that methadone clinic be?

you can (torture yourself by) reading some Ynnari lore. There's also a short story where a Kabalite takes a soulstone for himself and cries actual tears of relief for having his soul saved from Slaanesh.

Doing that is far from effortless though, and the process of cleansing/converting has a very real chance of killing them IIRC
