Blokes trooning out and becoming "protect women's spaces" activists is fucked.
Honestly I'm thinking about converting the Heldrake for Kings of War for the Abyssal Dwarves
That's the silver lining i feel the displeasure is more visible now than in other similar declines woth other hobbies. No force awakens period where people are hopeful despite the takeover. Just an immediate and obvious uproar and a sign the hobby is going to suffer monetarily
I bet majorkill made this one
He is both retarded and disingenuous.
I thought about that too, when GW and 40K were becoming popular during the time when Star Wars was imploding. Some 40K fans tried to lure in SW fans, saying that the grass was greener on the 40K side and that it's more based. Well, that didn't stay the same for long. Last Jedi came out in 2017, female Custodes came out in 2024. That took 7 years before 40K got woke, too.
It's because they think their customer base is now diverse enough to risk losing a huge chunk of the regular blokes. Of course they're retarded and the backlash against the tranny writer of Space Marine 2 is proof of this.
I know this community too well. Miss the old dakka dakka days where you can post a fully painted NSDAP astartes chapter and everyone will just shrug because you did a good job
The problem is they’ve been listening to their authors who have been pushing for it as well.
The 9th edition Custodes codex removed the mention that the Custodes are from the Sons of Terran Nobility, too. That seems to be the method they're using -- remove mention of old lore that the progressives demand be removed in one edition, then in the next pretend it never existed. "There have always been female custodes."
The thing is, back then, feminism wasn't that big an agenda on the leftist hive mind. It was all about socialism and ''sticking it to the man''. Hence why old-school leftists like Alan Moore will do comics that portray rape, but modern feminists will find that too triggering and would never do it.
Aussiebros, what the fuck is up with the water down there that leads to people like this.
If I were writing things, it'd be Chaos attempting to create female Space Marines, while the Imperium just won't create them, even if they could, either out of some superstitious fear that the Emperor would strike them down for tampering with his ''perfect'' creations, or out of respect for his example due to him never making female power-armored Space Marines. Kind of like how Catholicism has no priestesses because Jesus Christ had 12 male apostles, no female apostles. Tradition is important in the Imperium, and they'd stick to it even if it hurts them. At least that was the Imperium I was originally acquainted with.
I hope one pops up in my area, I really do.
I don't think you quite get it, my enthusiasm for Warhammer is dead. I honestly should've dropped Warhammer the instant they started policing fan animations, that was the first sign they were going to fumble the ball into the wokesphere, but that was before the Horus Heresy concluded. Now that it has and they pulled this move, I have zero reason to stay invested in the franchise. One of the reasons I was interested in Warhammer is I assumed it would somehow be immune to wokeshit, but that proved to be wrong. There is no point if it's woke. I'm officially departing from the 40K narrative, because it will only get worse from here.
