Overview
Morality, Slavery, and Corruption
- Slavery: Exploitation of others is common, especially for pleasure or domination; hierarchy is based on indulgence and seduction.
- Non-consent sexual relationships: Normalized within the culture; coercion and manipulation are often intertwined with personal power and pleasure.
- Vulnerability to Chaos corruption: Extremely high. Slaanesh worshipers are drawn to excess, making further corruption constant and reinforcing decadent behavior.
Strengths & Weaknesses
- Strengths: Seductive, cunning, fast, and elegant; skilled at manipulation, temptation, and exploiting desires; excels in subtlety and intrigue.
- Weaknesses: Hedonistic excess can cloud judgment; overconfidence and obsession can be exploited; loyalty is fleeting.
Gender Roles & Sexuality
Gender Roles
- Slaanesh’s followers are highly diverse in gender, often fluid, reflecting aesthetic perfection, decadence, and temptation.
- Both male and female daemons (Daemonettes, Keepers of Secrets) are seductive, deadly, and socially dominant within Slaanesh cults.
- Hierarchy is based on ability to tempt, dominate, and embody excess rather than biological sex.
Sexuality
- Sexuality is central to Slaanesh. Erotic pleasure, seduction, and indulgence define both daemon and mortal followers.
- Same-sex and opposite-sex attraction are common; indulgence in any taboo or decadent sexual act is celebrated.
- Sex, pain, and pleasure are often inseparable, with extreme eroticism intertwined with worship and power.
Attitudes toward Other Races (Sexualized)
- Slaanesh followers sexualize almost all other races, using allure, temptation, and manipulation:
- Humans and elves are prized for beauty and sensuality.
- Dwarfs and greenskins are fetishized in exaggerated or exoticized ways.
- Sexualized acts often involve coercion, seduction, or symbolic domination rather than mutual affection.
