dark elves. chaos do lots of evil shit but you could almost say they're like animals, not really in control due to corruption or instinct. the dark elves choose to do that shit though
In the 90's some druchii managed to reach a cathayan city.
The things they did to that place had the leader of the army send in to help go full purge mode:
"Burn what's left and we are deleting this place from our history. Holy fuck what in the actual fuck happened here"
Back then GW was not afraid to go full Druchii when writing about the dark elf culture. Pedos, rapists, back stabbers and cities full of flesh traders specializated in... kids... yeah... Druchii
Skaven, all those other factions have some degree of goodness or at least some good characters, the Skaven are just evil bastards. There isn't a single morally good Skaven, there has never been one and there never will be one
>There isn't a single morally good Skaven, there has never been one and there never will be one
Queek is considered utterly insane by other Skaven, because he does not inherently think about backstabbing others, is decently loyal towards his personal guard and isn't a quivering coward... And in any other culture he would still be considered a disloyal asshole. He basically does the bare minimum to not be considered utterly irredeemable and in doing so stands out so much the other Skaven genuinely cannot believe why he would be this way
(The fact that he hears voices and talks to his trophy rack probably doesn't help his sanity plea)
>because he does not inherently think about backstabbing others
He considers backstabbing Gnawdwell for a moment. He just knows it's not actually a fight he could win, and also probably subconsciously recognises he doesn't actually want Gnawdwell's position.
In his defense, Gnawdwell is a bit of a cunt.
I did forget that instance. I think for Queek its less "backstab for my own gain" and more "backstab so he stops being annoying"... not sure if thats better though
Dark Elves. Everyone else you could argue does all their crazy shit because it's in their nature- Chaos are literally insane, Vampirism is a mental diseases as well as a physical one (not kidding, that's actual canon), Skaven and Ogres and especially Greenskins are basically just animals.
Dark Elves are just sadistic bastards because fuck you Tyrion.
Well it's more complicated than that. The Elf pantheon is full of weird gods, and during the Sundering is split into the High Elf and Dark Elf pantheon due to a long and bloody civil war.
Basically the asur worship the more orderly and caring side, while the Druchi worship the more cruel and pragmatic side.
Wood Elves for example worship both sides and you can see they too exhibit a lot of violent and cruel traits that dark elves do.
According to them, DE live perfectly reasonable lives. Kinda like the Aztecs I guess who would sacrifice hundreds of people to the gods and call it a good month.
Skaven are literally meant to embody every aspect of humanity we consider bad. Every other race has redeeming qualities. Skaven are literally meant to be the epitome of bad. There are exactly three Skaven with redeeming qualities, and the morally best of those three walks around with the heads of his enemies on his armor (Queek).
Chaos, for example, do a lot of evil but are ultimately just chaotic rather than strictly bad. Like there are Khorne warriors who only ever battle in honorable duels and can often be enactors of justice. Nurgle has genuine love for his followers. etc
Id argue Nurgle does not love his followers he engages in cult like tactics of to make them embrace him. Slowly pushing their comfort zone untill they are his and too brainwashed to leave.
Earnestly he is the most cult leader esque of the chaos gods.
No he objectively and truly does love them. He can't lie about that it is literally part of what created him in the first place. It is an abusive relationship and the definition of toxic, but he genuinely loves them.
He does love them, in a weird twisted way. But he loves all creatures, including all the different parasites, bacteria, viruses and other creepy shit that would really love to live in their bodies. If a cultist hasn't fully embraced Nurgle he just hasn't come around to letting a nice family of maggots live in his eyeballs yet, but Nurgle can lovingly nudge him in the right direction. Like a mother whose children don't get along, except in this case some of the children infest the others
I wanna say Chaos. The skaven are the most fucked up as a faction, but the Great Horned Rat is still a chaos god, and without it the Skaven wouldn't be *as* bad I reckon (or wouldn't exist in the first place). No chaos also means no huffing warpstone so maybe some Skaven could have a sane thought for once

Is this a reference to the Nanjing Massace during WWII? What is the book called?

Doesn't the great hornet rat literally smite any skaven that shows even a miniscule of goodness.

Well it's more "backstab so that no one has any authority over me" but yeah.

Why are Orks even on this list, man? They just want to have a nice krump.
