Saying “40k and GW were always leftist so this was inevitable” is a bit misleading. Autist nerds shoehorning references to Maggie Thatcher into their new game is vastly different to the beast we live with today.
They were punks, raised in north England during the miner’s strikes. Being against the conservatives is practically religion there.
Their anger and resentment toward the ruling party and prime minister came from getting the short end of the political stick for years in a major way, not from some multinational corporate propaganda pushed across the sea by the internet.

The lads are cumming probably later this year, they aren’t in the upcoming CSM codex.
Or it’s delayed, or they’re course-correcting.

Honestly with the way World Eaters is I can only see GW doing the same thing with Emperor's Children.
Though it would be funny to see people buy a bunch of kits in preparation only to find that 3/4 of the CSM line is absent from the army lineup. Again.

The latter part is almost inevitable, and unless the Codex is delayed so much that they'll be the 11e starter box enemy and get a larger range like Death Guard, they're almost certain to be as threadbare as Thousand Sons and World Eaters.

It just means I will focus more on building my collection of STL and such files.
Searching on YEGGI.com for miniatures yields lots of 'space soldiers' or 'point eared space elves' who are legally distinct enough to evade lawsuit but most nerds wouldn't notice if you mixed into your army.

Hope they get to keep the Dark Apostle. I'd want a kit of noise marines with a lead singer

Between the Dommy Mommy fetish, the Custodes veneration, and his hentai addiction, I'm pretty sure that Majorkill is a closet case.
It's a very short gap between wanting a dommy mommy and getting pegged.

What did I miss about Space Marine 2? Or do you mean people dropping 40k in general after the Femstodes shit?

All but guaranteed. If you are attracted to male traits like a dominant personality, muscles etc then you are a homosexual.
>b-but she has a vagina
Doesn't matter, she looks like a man.
In even the best case you are still zesty at the least.

That is the point. Being anti-conservative is being woke. The miner's strike is just another match that lit the fire and brought more people to the Left's side.
Woke takes on different forms. Back when we were kids, when the Star Wars Prequels were still coming out and anime was making its debut on Toonami, being woke meant pushing socialism, sticking it to ''the man'', attacking religious conservatives, shitting on Bush for his forever wars, and for the Right's ''Islamophobia''.
Now, it's all about supporting third-wave feminism, trannies, and cancelling works and people for daring to offend SJW sensibilities, like attacking Stellar Blade for having a sexy female as a main character, or attacking JK Rowling for being anti-trans.
What is woke evolves, advances, and adopts more radical positions down the line. Back then, the old-school wokesters were OK with Alan Moore writing comics about rape so long as he shat on Nixon and the Reagan-style conservatives. Now, they're more like Michael Moorcock who'd have your books put away if they showed women enjoying BDSM kinks like the Gor novels.
That doesn't mean the multinational corporate propaganda can't manipulate them. The miner's strike and their hatred for Thatcher brought GW to the Left, and the Left now demands they make female Space Marines, so GW is more than happy to do it, starting with female Custodes to get the foot in the door.
Like you said, they were angry at the Right-leaning ruling party. It doesn't matter if their misgivings about the Right came from something else, that still had the effect of bringing GW onto the Left's side, and the Left is now able to manipulate them. Especially when there's offers like ESG money on the line, and they already hated the Right for what they saw as past transgressions, so they sure as hell won't switch horses just because the Left demanded female toy soldiers look like the male ones. It's a small sacrifice to make to stay in the good graces of the Left, and with ESG money sweetening the pot, they sure as hell will take that offer.
I've known Leftists back then who used to like JK Rowling and who used to approve of sexy women in media as a way to show female ''empowerment.'' Then they eventually changed and attacked Rowling for being anti-trans and attacked media that showed sexy women, calling it ''objectifying'' and sexist. Just because GW joined the old Left back in the Thatcher years doesn't mean they won't join the New Left today.

With WE not having Termies or a basic Chaos lord, I can only expect EC won’t have Raptors or bikes.
I mean Raptors are practically the go-to kit for Noise Marine bits as is.
I don’t think these guys are gonna be the big bads for the next edition, this is the faction GW is scared of, I don’t know what’s so scary about a bunch of bdsm glam-rock crackheads who like to go loud. They’re just silly guys, having fun.

The thing about GW is that they never gave a shit about the lore. Back then, before Third Edition, they had no problems writing in the idea that Eldar-Human hybrids were welcome in the Space Marine ranks. Then all of a sudden, such hybrids fell out of favor and the Space Marines would exterminate anyone who isn't fully human most of the time. Now, an order that once accepted only the SONS of Terran nobility apparently accepted daughters, too. Soon you will have female Space Marines coming in, probably as a reward for Sisters of Battle who displayed exemplary courage and honor, who are rewarded for their service by becoming one of the ''chosen'' and ''ascended'' to a higher form by being given Space Marine geneseed.
I saw this coming when the Primaris Marines came along and broke the lore in half. Randos from Mars, trained far away from the Space Marine chapters, all suddenly forced into said chapters by edict from Terra. Space Marine chapters are supposed to be wary of outsiders, only letting people in once they've been trained to the specifications of each chapter's traditions and rituals. This isn't like Star Wars where the Dark Troopers of the Galactic Empire go from cyborg clone troopers, to robots, to dudes in power armor suits, and the only reaction from the average Stormtrooper or Imperial Army/Navy Trooper is ''neat, we have new robot dudes to send in and kill the Rebels.''
Remember when that furry said that the Dark Angels tortured, lobotomized, and killed some of the Primaris Marines they were given? If we were still working with the Space Marines from 3rd-7th Edition, that would've been the fate of most Primaris Marines, not just a few. Instead, most of them were accepted, and any rejection just boiled down to a few minor instances instead of the Space Marine chapters revolting against Terra for being forced to accept randos whom they don't know into their ranks.
For retrospect, THIS is GW's official canon policy.
If that's too long for you to read, here's a translation: ''Canon doesn't really matter, LOL we can rewrite anything we want, and you'll just have to take it because we'll just brush any inconsistencies with past lore aside as Dark Age superstition and unreliable narrator bullshit.''
And given the fact that GW swings LEFT when it comes to politics, to the point where their Empire which was based on conservative religious and military tradition is full of hacks, frauds, superstition, and bullshit, the idea that they would rebuke the Left when the Left demanded female Space Marines and Custodes was laughable. I'm surprised it took this long. Even if it violates lore, they don't care about the lore. They made 40K as a left-wing protest against what they saw as the excesses of the Right in the first place, and if the Left demands they make female toy soldiers that look like men, so be it. They will stretch the lore and make it plausible. Especially when they're getting bribed with ESG money, so yes, even those suits who see things purely from a monetary perspective without caring about the activist shit will have an incentive to make female Custodes, and eventually female Space Marines.

"Keep in mind Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000 are worlds where half truths, lies, propaganda, politics, legends and myths exist. The absolute truth which is implied when you talk about "canonical background" will never be known because of this. Everything we know about these worlds is from the viewpoints of people in them which are as a result incomplete and even sometimes incorrect. The truth is mutable, debatable and lost as the victors write the history…
Here's our standard line: Yes it's all official, but remember that we're reporting back from a time where stories aren't always true, or at least 100% accurate. if it has the 40K logo on it, it exists in the 40K universe. Or it was a legend that may well have happened. Or a rumour that may or may not have any truth behind it. Let's put it another way: anything with a 40K logo on it is as official as any Codex... and at least as crammed full of rumours, distorted legends and half-truths.
I think the real problem for me, and I speak for no other, is that the topic as a "big question" doesn't matter. It's all as true as everything else, and all just as false/half-remembered/sort-of-true. The answer you are seeking is "Yes and no" or perhaps "Sometimes". And for me, that's the end of it. Now, ask us some specifics, eg can Black Templars spit acid and we can answer that one, and many others. But again note that answer may well be "sometimes" or "it varies" or "depends". But is it all true? Yes and no. Even though some of it is plainly contradictory? Yes and no. Do we deliberately contradict, retell with differences? Yes we do. Is the newer the stuff the truer it is? Yes and no. In some cases is it true that the older stuff is the truest? Yes and no. Maybe and sometimes. Depends and it varies.
It's a decaying universe without GPS and galaxy-wide communication, where precious facts are clung to long after they have been changed out of all recognition. Read A Canticle for Liebowitz by Walter M Miller, about monks toiling to hold onto facts in the aftermath of a nuclear war; that nails it for me. Sorry, too much splurge here. Not meant to sound stroppy. To attempt answer the initial question: What is GW's definition of canon? Perhaps we don't have one. Sometimes and maybe. Or perhaps we do and I'm not telling you."
