If you don’t call your sibling a slut at some point they’re barely real family.

It’s called exposition. How else are lazy writers supposed to explain the relationship?

I don’t think I’ve ever called my brother “bro”. I call my friends “bro” all the time.

I just call my brother by his (shortened) name to his face, or his full name to my parents. And “my brother” when referring to him anywhere else.

Idk, I definitely call both my brothers bro, but I’m also 10 yrs younger than one and 21 yrs older than the other. They’re also both half-bros tho, so maybe that’s it

I’ve also used brochacho here and there since learning it

Did your mom start real young and IVF the last one or did your dad bang younger women?

my siblings and I call each other then most derogatory nicknames we for each other since we used to argue and fight a lot growing up unless shit is serious. then it’s “hey (actual name)”

my home life wasn’t super stable so I wonder how many families have this kind of sibling relationship

Same except my home life was fairly stable.

Although I guess our nicknames, while certainly insulting, aren’t too derogatory

Yeah the primarchs do it, and it’s kinda weird. But they are inhuman monsters that have to serve as generals and politicians, so I forgive them.

When space Marines do it the it’s kinda like how priests refer to each other as brother, but also battle brother is a rank.

I think it is also there to make things seem more theatric/dramatic. Like just how many books start with a dramatis personae? We’re not reading about people, we’re reading about characters in a space opera. No matter how you look at it, it’s still pretty silly.

The oat pig videos keep living rent free in my head anytime I hear a space marine/primarch call someone brother.

7 out of 8, if you didn’t say you weren’t in the larger 40k community I would have thought that you were.
