(NOT BAIT) You shouldn't play the game until they add female space marines, heres why
Before you lose it and call me "woke," listen up. There are people who have been stomped on for centuries, and we're finally at a point where we can start to make things right. How can you sit there and play a game made by devs who are openly sexist, while also refusing to add even a shred of diversity? What's the big deal with having a single marine who's intersex, lgbtq or female (they did it for custodes) in the game? Just one!
One character! They could be on screen for five seconds, and it wouldn't hurt you at all. But it would mean the world to someone who finally sees themselves represented. And who’s really the snowflake if that idea gets under your skin? They don't even need to be the main character! It blows my mind that anyone would back a game that's deliberately pandering to right-wing values. Do you even know what you're supporting, or did some World of Warcraft YouTuber just tell you to buy it?
By playing this game, you're choosing to marginalize people who deserve better. That's the point. I get that some will read this and say they don’t care, but maybe, just maybe, try putting yourself in someone else’s shoes for once. All it takes is a little empathy. You don’t have to agree with them, but recognize that representation helps people feel less alone. It's sad that you're actively standing against that.
Edit: Just because you use a jester award, doesn't mean your right. Don't bother trying to rile me up because its not a good look.
Edit 2: people have been very offensive towards me and that makes me sad; however - knowing that we are winning makes all the difference
Edit 3: FREE PALESTINE!!!
Edit 4: Proud to represent LGBT for Palestine; all minorities will be represented when games workshop reacts to the pushback
