Apparently the new Custodes codex mentions female Custodes. I don't feel good about this one bros...

I've seen this pan out many times before. Out of touch corporation is told by politically charged idiots that diversity will make them more money because diversity and progressiveness is all the rage. Out of touch company starts to hire politically charged idiots to work on their IP, especially people who are unqualified because in the company's eyes diversity is more important than actual skill and experience. Said politically charged idiots proceed to insert their ideologies, shitty writing and politics into the universe changing it from escapism to political pandering and preaching.

Backlash ensues, company doubles down even harder and handles the backlash in the worst way possible. The entire time out of touch corpos are assured it has nothing to do with their terrible handling over the situation or their hamfisted preaching, they are on the right side of history and anyone who disagrees is a bigot.

Hobby proceeds to die a slow painful death over the course of years. Maybe it even manages to stick around holding on for dear life but it will never be the same again, it becomes an empty soulless depressing shell of what it used to be.

And with that I'm out. I just don't have it in me anymore to watch another hobby of mine get skull fucked by the cult of Slannesh.

And the worst part is when the faggots responsible for instigating the decline in the first place get bored and eventually move on to the next popular hobby to ruin.

It's that and the wording of it. "There have always been women and minorities in 40k, racist chud." Very easy to just say it's a retcon or make it a story thing and now women are accepted into the ranks as well.

I mean even look at the they/them character on the bottom of the last page. Instead of acknowledging this is weird cosmopolitan first world problems shit, the wording is, "There have always been hecking valid enbies in this setting, chud."

that's a fair criticism. they could've done this without being massive fags, but they didn't. so it doesn't bode well

Hear me out. Cavill loves Custodes, and he's going to more or less choose what character he gets to play in the universe. He decides to play a female Custodian, but literally just puts on a wig and lipstick. Make himself look like the Misters of Battle kitbashes.

Your community threat post is gay and bad. Where is the proof that long term players will quit because of this? Who are these retards who will quit over plastic women. If you really hate the old kits you can work around them.

I despise the sculpts for Ursula creed, and the new diverse cadians so I just did some kitbashing to improve them / give them new heads. If you think a new set or a badly written bit of lore will cause the community to implode then you are sorely mistaken.

Literal Orwell vibes from that post.

"The canon was alterable. The canon never had been altered. There are female Custodes. There have always been female Custodes."

I don't like this retcon and what it bodes for the future either, but to be fair on this wording, as far as I'm aware, GW has always dealt with their abundant retcons by just writing them in this manner assuming that the original canon never existed, The only time I can recall them outright acknowledging a retcon is when they recently re-edited the Dark Imperium novels to shift the timeline of the Indomitus Crusade.

Unfortunately, like the infamous "you will not be missed" statement, I expect this tweet will be used by ideological, power-mad jannies in big fan communities to gaslight, bludgeon, and ban dissenters en masse.

At this point, either GW backpedals once they realize that coomers and troons (redundant I know) don't blow nowhere near as much money as their core customers, or they collapse over doubling down and alienating the latter in favor of the former.

So either way, it'll be fun to watch.

“We are at war with Eurasia, we have always been at war with Eurasia.”

I was expecting GW to stay at pozzed level it had hit prior to this just to stop the Guardian constantly writing articles about them being evil and threatening their share price but this is utter tranny nonsense.

This isn’t to appeal to women, it’s to appeal to men who think they are women and want to “see themselves” in the golden armour.

Congrats GW for tanking an entire faction once the daughters of Slannesh start making their dress go spinny Custodes armies.

Are you going to want to start a banana boy army once every codpiece is concealing a girldick?

I’m honestly hoping it blows up and people start walking away and the likes and retweets were worth it.

Just so you guys know, @get_ur_gamon wants us to act like true fans and stop being dramatic faggots.

Damn bro, just don't act like this will cause a mass exodus from the game. Yes warhammer lore makes no sense and is full of retcons. I can't wait to find out that the secret to Female Space marines was kept up B Cawls ass the whole time. But not everything has to be 'the end of the hobby as we know it."

The biggest concern is that this will be used to further bludgeon pozz into Warhammer.

"A faction has women/troons/darkies, so why not the B, C and D factions too?"

I don't think it's going to cause a mass exodus in the game because it's full of faggots like you that would crawl through glass to consoom.

You're literally bitching that my community happening post is too hyperbolic over saying, "A good chunk of." I woke up today and searched "Female Custodes" on youtube. I watched like 5 videos and 4 of them were people saying this is the beginning of the end. The 5th video was a fucking creep that said "chud" at least 6 times.

Just for you, I'll go back and change the wording of the original post to appease your "but bro" faggotry.

In all honesty, nothing needed to be changed, it was good as it stood.
The Custodes and Astartes enforce the Emperor's Will and protect the Imperium through vigilance, brutality and force. Naturally, they would be all men. The Sisters of Battle and of Silence enforce the Emperor's Will and protect the Imperium through enforcing conformism, purging ideological impurity, and insatiable fanaticism to the Imperial Cult. Naturally, they would be all women.
At least, that's my sense of it. You see it in real life. Violence is the trade of men. Purity is the trade of women. Men make the best soldiers but are usually very pragmatic on ideological grounds. But women? Women will more often be the most credulous and bull headed commissars you've ever seen. As things were, it only made sense in a universe where demons are real and humanity is experiencing multiple apocalypses at once.
