Daily reminder that you shouldn't be allowed to play TTRPG's if you watch TTS or Critical Role.All issues and Warhammer getting too popular goes back to Emperors Text To Speech and Alfabusa.

Why are you behaving like some obtuse retard who can't understand that I can like my hobby and not have an exclusive knowledge of every facet of one sub-faction of an entire universe of factions? I'm trying to explain to you that the faggotification of this hobby has already been observed in other hobbies and it's an incremental process that's well on it's way. Why do you cope for this? Do I have to know what Farris Manus' dick smells like from some forgotten edition for you to observe what is happening or are you going to continue to be on your gay shit all day?You didn’t even know Custodes were never exclusively male. why do you care so much about a hobby youre not a part of lmao? Annoying cunts have been saying this every edition but the game has only continued to become more popular.
Does it really matter? Warhammer isn't just the models.Prove it, show your models.
If you play a version of 40k printed after 2012, you are giga retarded and deserve to have your shit fucked up. Why're you playing a tabletop game like an MMO? Pick an edition you like, play that. It's static, you have everything you want at your fingertips, can comfortably homebrew and balance to your groups' content. You don't want a game, you want a regular dripfeed of curated content like a crack addict, so you don't have to put forth effort. 40k should not be a storybook, it's a group of tropes harvested from across fiction and history, arranged together to provide a common set of concepts to serve as a basis for storytelling in your games of toy soldiers.Apparently the new Custodes codex mentions female Custodes. I don't feel good about this one bros...
This is not about "reeee wimmin in muh tabletop ruining things". We didn't ruin a damn thing; this isn't something we even wanted. But the discussion about it is, unquestionably, going to bring the position of existing female community members under scrutiny, and that is without doubt going to make common 40K spaces less comfortable for us.
It's divide and conquer. It's profitable to have the sexes pissed off and estranged from each-other since alienated people are easier to sell vices and coping mechanisms to.that's a really great summary of all these women-in-x pop culture war pushes. the long established existing female fanbase gets ignored or squeezed out for some fictional phantom fanbase that even if it exists isn't interested in being part of the space in any capacity beyond just ticking a box to say they like it.
I really don't want to touch this whole thing with a ten foot pole buuuut:Holy shit, I thought the female custodes thing was a meme or edit meant to get (You)s on /tg/. This was real? They couldn't even go "Cawl figured out how to make the process work on women so we can have double the pauldron faggots fighting for the Emperor", they wanted to go "Errr they've always been there"?
If they wanted to get more women into the game, this isn't it. The women into warhams that I know like Tyranids, both kinds of Eldar, and the Admechs (the best faction).
100% tranny pandering. It’s Henry Cavill I feel sorry for. He’s going to have to transition or start a new army now.I really don't want to touch this whole thing with a ten foot pole buuuut:
I don't think even GW thinks this is about actual women.
Posting models here would be a good way to get doxed if you go to a lot of events or post photos of your models elsewhere.Prove it, show your models.
You'd think GW would go "we're selling expensive minis to nerds who think they're too good to be crack addicts" and leave it at that. Or just have some badass Soriritas/IG/Eldar/Admech (please) women doing their usual as some new named characters. They could've even taken characters from their books and gone "lol she has a pretty model and rules, now look at this lore blurb where she kicks ass and isn't skankily dressed, isn't that cool?" Or get a hot prettyboy who kicks ass, lots of women go "Legolas hot" and then like LoTR.It's divide and conquer. It's profitable to have the sexes pissed off and estranged from each-other since alienated people are easier to sell vices and coping mechanisms to.
Won’t be laughing when they start giving Orks pronouns and make them femaleIt's kinda funny, you guys are freaking out over here and I'm like "Wow, the Orks got some REALLY good shit with their new codex", though, shame some models got removed.
Iyanna Arienal model never ever.They could've even taken characters from their books and gone "lol she has a pretty model and rules, now look at this lore blurb where she kicks ass and isn't skankily dressed, isn't that cool?"
It was always overstated, but Warhammer+ seems to be declining and I haven't heard about any particularly relevant new fan projects.Also how did banning fans animating their 40k OCs go? I thought that was meant to draw more eyes towards their Warhammer TV shit, but I haven't heard anything about it. Then again, I'm kinda mentally stuck in 8th edition and don't engage with the fanbase much.

Only problem, orks are basically genderless shrooms. Sooo..good luck?Won’t be laughing when they start giving Orks pronouns and make them female
And if you absolutely have to get new models because of tournaments get them from a 3rd party store or online retailer. Probably better to get used or 3d print though. A lot of prints are decent enough that people won’t notice. Plus I bet a lot of people have large backlogs.You're not only giving up and letting these freaks take the future of your hobby, you're letting them take the past too. Rub the past in their face and be a fucking NIGGER in this hobby. 3D print minis, convince other people to do the same, buy used models, buy old models, do something other than cry and shit your pants when these people start exerting influence. Giving up just hands it to them on a silver platter.
They’re really playing with fire. If they massively change the ip it’ll lose all its luster. Making it tolerable to modern sensibilities will kill the company. If they did the same thing in the 90s by caving into the soccer mom crowd, I would never have picked up the hobby. Changing the hobby isn’t going to bring more people in.You'd think GW would go "we're selling expensive minis to nerds who think they're too good to be crack addicts" and leave it at that.

What’s in the public domain? I’m actually serious haha.I guess now is the time to get off the ride for Warhammer 40K. The End and the Death is to Warhammer what End Game was to Marvel movies, now everything that follows in its wake will be in the realm of no-shits-given terrible decision making permitted by diminished returns, because now Warhammer has been deemed to have run its course. Using cloak and dagger shit to retcon female Custodes was a retarded move that nobody will admire the writers for making, especially since we have Sisters of Silence as female Custode equivalents anyway.
It's a shame really, Warhammer 40K was the last IP I still had any fondness for. I guess now the only IP refuge of any quality is Middle Earth since nothing outside of Tolkien's words will ever be canon, no matter how hard Amazon tries to shit it up.
