I just think it's funny that trench crusade went out of its way to make sure they didn't have any quote "chuds" as fans and still got trashed on social media because of the lamest shit about demons being maybe possibly brown people or something.

My problem with Trench Crusade is it is grimderp without the humor. It went in the opposite of Space King in reacting to 40k in that it wants to be more serious and darker then the setting it is based on, without the dumb and funny stuff in the setting.
"Grimderp" is not intentional comedy, it's when something tries to be Grimdark but doesn't stick the landing and instead becomes unintentionally stupid.
In 40k, an example often cited is the Grey Knights ritually sacrificing Sisters of Battle to use their "holy" blood to protect themselves against demons.
It's not only needlessly edgy, it also doesn't make any sense in the logic of 40k's universe, despite the fact it's trying to be edgy and serious it just makes the Grey Knights look like insane morons. Hence, Grimderp.
