on June 21st Arch’s Teespring merchandising account is terminated for violating the terms of service on a partner website. This was then followed by a blow to Arch's income generation. In the world of employment this is what's known as a final written warning. Due to his complete lack of leadership oversight and the huge volume of violations this was his only way to avoid getting perma-banned. This is because he broke their terms of service on at least hate speech. Of course, this stance is not new to those of us who have followed Arch with some concern for a few years - his videos expressing dismay on the covers of the Warhammer Adventures books (books aimed at a younger audience) showed his intolerance to others - claiming that they were 'virtue' signalling by having a character in a hijab (she was wearing a cloak) being a prime example:įollowing the leak of the texts, and the subsequent outrage and complaints to Discord, Arch was forced to delete the entire contents of his Discord server as per his admission in the YouTube interview with Asmogan published on 7th June*. 8.6K likes (as of 5.7.20), which would suggest that his view is not the prevailing view he thinks it is. Receiving 131K views, he is ratioed in the ratings with 52% disapproval or 9.3K dislikes vs.
He disagrees with the statement and expresses that it is targeting himself and fans of his content. However, on June 5th Arch published a YouTube video response to the “Warhammer Is For Everyone” statement. To now promote views that would be offensive to any one of those groups to give an advantage to others is abhorrent, this statement reaffirmed that belief and as such, I fail to see why anyone would take exception to it.

Our hobby grew out of groups of friends wanting to share a common passion with others. This is the most liked and shared tweet in the history of wargaming (13K likes, 3.8K RTs, 965 comments as of 5.7.20). Within this they clearly state that Warhammer is for all people and they will create miniatures and lore to support this. Games Workshop’s Warhammer Community Team published a statement on Twitter titled “Warhammer Is For Everyone”: This can be seen in Arch's reaction to the news on June 4th. However, where Arch has deviated from the standard, is his involvement in political stances that are at odds with many, and certainly at odds with how Games Workshop wish to run their business. I'm not going to denigrate the making of lore videos - for those who have reading difficulties, or where English isn't their first language, they can be a great way to get to grips with the somewhat convoluted story arcs. humorous and quite funny in its own way), he's amassed quite a following amongst certain sections of the fandom.
Now, apart from the fact that some of these are poorly researched (his take on Krieg Engineers is. It contains discussion of a nature that may offend.įor those who are followers of YouTube, and in particular, the various 40k channels, the name 'Arch Warhammer' (or, as of this last week, merely 'Arch') will be synonymous with 40k lore videos and licensed game playthroughs.
