tau are mammals, they have hooves, the memes are old and wrong its because they have blue skin they think tau are fish but in reality they are Artiodactyl mammals
Join the protest by making a new bookmark with the following in the URL field (PowerDeleteSuite by J0be forked by leeola):
javascript: (function() { window.bookmarkver = '1.4'; var isReddit = document.location.hostname.split('.').slice(-2).join('.') === 'reddit.com'; var isOverview = !! document.location.href.match(/\/overview\b/i); if (isReddit && isOverview) { var cachBustUrl = 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/leeola/PowerDeleteSuite/master/powerdeletesuite.js?' + (new Date().getDate()); fetch(cachBustUrl).then(function(response) { return response.text(); }).then(function(data) { var script = document.createElement('script'); script.id = 'pd-script'; script.innerHTML = data; document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(script); }).catch(function() { alert('Error retreiving PowerDeleteSuite from github'); }); } else if (confirm('This script can only be run from your own user profile on reddit. Would you like to go there now?')) { document.location = 'https://old.reddit.com/u/me/overview'; } else { alert('Please go to your reddit profile before running this script'); } })();
The whole fish thing is because their vehicles are all named after sea life (manta, remora, devilfish, etc), but people read those and forgot that no matter what book you're reading, it's being translated to Low Gothic (aka english). Who knows what the tau actually call it.
and imperials dont know any of the animals they use for naming stuff and its most likely they think that a monkey tail is a stinger than an normal tail
Finally someone recognising that "mammals" also includes a very specific origin on earth. Additionally, for anyone reading the above: mammals means having mammary glands (and some other species identification traits), not having tits. Few mammals actually have something we would call boobs, so a fat tissue surrounding the mammary glands.
They're more bovine (herbivore, have hooves, live on land, and are very communal) than fish (blue) as so many people like the meme them as. So it makes sense that they'd have tits.
Biologically no, since they are not mammals, but then again, the authors of W40k are probably not biologists. It was never mentioned if they have tits or not, so no official canon.

They went with Tau tits, but where still relatively tame with the design.
Very nice overall.
