Tbf that's only the imperium fans. The rest at least know they're playing pretend. Maybe not the Boyz I think they're serious.
As someone outside the fandom looking in it seems like the entire 40K franchise revolves around the Space Marines, with the other factions taking a supporting role at best.
Space Marines sell the most, so they get the most frequent support. Each faction has a very loyal and very ravenous fanbase though. Generally if someone is a “space marine fan” they’re either really new, or extremely old. It’s the people that are into the Imperium factions as a whole you should look out for.
"I like the ones that look like space Nazis the most."
Oh, the principality/republic of Zeon/Neo Zeon?
Now imagine if you play imperial guard. I feel like I am the only fan who understands IG. Its about people living under a cruel unwieldy empire that is utterly indifferent to their lives with almost no way out. Your entire world with all it rich history and unique culture can be wiped out in a second. And it wont mean a thing. Shit like that is what makes IG cool
I had someone get incredibly mad my UN blue imperial guard beat their afrika korps death guard. Like crying mad.
Heresy intensifies.
