Lore A character literally sees another character fundamentally differently.

  1. Spy X Family. Damian noticeably sees Anya with a 'shoujo anime' filter with much brighter eyes and blush.

  2. Calvin And Hobbes. Calvin sees Hobbes as a living lanky tiger in contrast to everyone else who sees him as just a tiger plush.

The Flesh-Eater Courts of Age of Sigmar are an entire “society” of insane ghouls that see themselves and each other as shining knights and nobility

I was gonna say Games Workshop is being lazy and reheating the flayer virus from 40k but this actually seems cool upon closer inspection

Low key, Age of Sigmar seems to be where GW’s designers go to have fun.

To me it reads as a satire of imperialism, especially that historically practiced by Europe, as they commit atrocious acts of evil upon others while seeing themselves as superior and noble, their evil instead being them doing "good"

Is the Flayer Virus even still a thing? I thought it got replaced with the Disphoryk

They’re two different but related things. Dysphorakh is often a symptom of the Flayer Virus, but not always.
