Freedom is when the citizens have rights and the government has obligations.
Tyranny is when the government has rights and the citizens have obligations.

Games Workshop is telling their customers that fascism is naughty.

I saw the statement.
It’s stupid to go “The Imperium of Man is evil, fascist and a satire” for numerous reasons.
The first, obviously, is that 40k has moved away heavily from satire in general and has largely embraced being a ‘serious’ sci-fi setting.
Then there’s the fact that the Imperium being 'the bad guys’ is pointless because everyone is evil to one degree or another. Even the 'good’ faction of the Tau are cast in a dubious light with their oppressive caste system, colonization tactics, manifest destiny ideology and the suggestion that brainwashing is used to keep the entire system going.
BUT, even ignoring those, to say the Imperium is a satire is stupid. For the satire to work, the Imperium’s fascist/oligarchical/theocratic status quo would have to be the bad option.
The unfortunate truth of the Imperium is that the current state of things, without a leader like Guilliman or The Emperor, is the only way for mankind to survive. Without descending to these ideologies, humanity would’ve fallen to external and internal attacks. It’s the only way they’ve survived the forces of Chaos, Dark Eldar, Tyranids, Orks and several other Xeno species.
That’s even if the assessment that the Imperium is fascist to begin with. Systems and planets are given massive amounts of autonomy so long as they pledge obedience to the Imperium and keep up their tithes, with planets having undergone entire civil wars that the Imperium hasn’t cared about. Even the 'state religion’ is not so rigidly enforced that it is uniform, chief example being the Omnisiah religion of Mars.
So it’s debatable if the Imperium even is a fascist system.
There’s not any sort of major neo-nazi/fascist playerbase of their game and they can’t stop the few that are playing their game. Games Workshop saying this does nothing unless they assume everyone already thinks they support fascism, which is fucking stupid.

By Kouta Hirano, creator of Hellsing
This isn’t just by the creator of Hellsing… it’s a one to one recreation of a scene from the manga
Hirano-San, you fucking mad lad!!!!
I had no idea that brawl comic was by the actual Hellsing guy! I thought it was just some internet rando’s fanart.
The spoof of this scene in Hellsing Abridged was also pretty good.
Before we begin our next phase, I would like to take some time to address a rumor floating around the fleet.
Some of you have come to believe that I. Like. War.
I wish to dash these rumors.
I do not like war. I. Love. War.
Through my life I have discovered so many forms of war.
You get up in the morning, you get into your shitty car, and you see a rich CEO, who works half as hard as you do, drive down the street in his Porsche.
Class war.
You make it to work, and you find out that the annual drug test is today. And you just so happened to take a puff off your one-hitter a couple of nights ago before dinner with your wife’s awful parents.
Drug war.
But then, you find out that the only ones being called in for testing are your black and hispanic coworkers.
Race war
Then you try and post about it on your facebook, but then all your friends start arguing about what’s right and what’s wrong.
Flame war.
You finally get home and you decide to relax by watching a program about: “Who gets the box?” “What’s in the box?” “How much is what’s in the box worth?”
Storage wars!
What I am telling you, my Nazi army of one thousand vampires, is that I am a purveyor of war. And with your help over the years, we are now at the precipice of our true goal.
You see, I want a simple war. No class wars, no drug wars, no race wars, no flame wars, and certainly! No cold wars! Blue-balled for forty years!
What I want is a war that only we can bring. A true war. A German war. The sequel you’ve all been waiting for! I. Want. World. War. Three!
