Well, we did get at least some trans representation :tomgirl:

Luckily 40k has no good guys for the SJWs to latch onto. The Imperium they abhor, and they can't doll Chaos up enough to make them the good boys.

Orks are too manly, Eldar are too white and aryan, Tau are too "eeew icky anime and no tits!" , Tyranids aren't a good guy candidate either, as they don't let hormagaunts choose their sex. Necrons are also too colonial and superior.

Slaanesh was prophetically too on the nose for them.

It's just happening slower with Warhammer 40k. Everything can be subverted. A popular subversion to point out is that now the Emperor didn't actually engineer the Astartes, but some woman scientist called Amar Astarte did it. First they'll eventually feminise the franchise and then troon it.

Do not despair. Cavill is our guardian. He'll snap and go full reverse Elliot Roger if the wokesters get ahold of 40k so they can sexually harass him on set again I can just see it in on his face.
 
Still looking forward to the Space Superheroes the Ultramarines Squad, led by an african-american captain and a female chaplain, to save the day on weekly adventures by also learning everything about the power of love and friendship.

Did anyone even like that bullshit when it was introduced in the Horus Heresy? Most if not all people I know were fine with the theory Big E made some deal with the Chaos God's to develop the primarchs only to walk back on his part of the deal, but the few who did read the novels fucking hated What's Her Tits being shoehornd in.

Already happened in that old Marneus Calgar comic done by Marvel. It's mostly filled with lowbrow humor, like grandpa smurf calling for help because he can't use an keyboard with the Gauntlets of Ultramar

Ah, don't worry, the Primarchs themselves are the results of the work of Erda, a perpetual (seriously, what a retarded plotline the perpetuals are) that did all the heavy lifting and not the Emperor. She also had the ultimate woman moment and despite theoretical millennia of wisdom started the Warp Storm that scattered the Primarchs away because woman moment.

And then she was killed in the next book by Erebus and that's it.

No one really cares about the Black Library nowadays, it has become so retardedly convoluted that barely the hardcore fans care. If you want to read Bolter porn, you don't read the Horus Heresy for sure.
 
Holy shit have the Lion and Guilliman still not met yet? I’ve been ignoring the lore for months, I thought that would be one of the first things they did.

Nah, they're holding off on that. It sort of makes sense in that they're on opposite sides of the Great Rift and Guilliman is suddenly up to his eyeballs in Tyranids and doesn't have time to go check if his brother is really back, but I'm sure GW is holding off on it so they can milk a fuckton of cash out of whichever campaign book or novel showcases the reunion.

Fair point. I apologize for my autistic doom posting, I think I'm just left bitter after what happened to Starwars and other stuff I enjoyed. But with Henry Cavil onboard it does give me more hope, he seems like someone who actually gives a shit about the universes he works on.

Now if we could just get a Ork show or movie at some point I'd be happy
them filthy 'umies and them blue gits get all da fun and gubinnz

An Ork movie would be 70 minutes of violence interspersed with a total of 20 minutes of conversational scenes where various Orks are complaining about a lack of violence. And all the dialogue would be in Hooligan English utterly incomprehensible to 90% of the world. As entertaining as that sounds, surprisingly few people would be interested.

The Astartes Project is 13 minutes of violence and practically no conversation but still managed to get 17 million views on youtube

I'm well aware of what a masterpiece Astartes is. And what makes it work is the complete silence from said Astartes as opposed to say, a Warboss bellowing orders and throwing around insults or some Boyz making quips and remarks like a bad action movie. Or worse, soccer hooligans on a pub crawl.

The only author I know that has explicitly included non-binary characters in his stories is Mike Brooks. He’s very “punk”, meaning a modern leftist that looks like he’s still in the 1990s. Though I doubt we will see him do something stupid like introduce a tranny space marine.

Robert Rath's popular Necrons novel The Infinite and the Divine has a handful of paragraphs about a tech-priest referred as "they", which is certainly cause for confusion in reading as the scene is in the midst of a crowded battle, especially to any reader who's unfamiliar with the trendy singular "they". There's otherwise no suggestion of this bit character being "non-binary" or "beyond gender", but while AdMech are naturally easy targets for sexual ambiguity, I suspect it's more likely than not that the author did this specifically with a wink towards trannies.

Amusingly, the audiobook gives this character a very deep, masculine voice.

They also toyed with this in the Ghazghkull book which is an extended interrogation of a grot by Imperials. Since orks are asexual they don't get the human concept of "secksangenda" and there's some back and forth about what pronouns the Profit of da Waaaagh!!! might prefer before a grizzled Rune Priest declares "this is all bullshit, Ghazghkull is male, end of story" and the audience is free to continue enjoying the book without any more of that crap.

It would still make more money than the Ultramarines movie.

That is less new wokery than bringing back old Rogue trader 1st ed stuff. Larraman's organ was also named there after the scientist that made it.

Which makes Custodes or Primarchs having it a problem, but in 1st ed custodes were regular humans and primarchs were just regular marine officers.

Perpetuals are retarded. Erebus is a chad and this was his redemption arc.

Just eaiser to think she was possessed by Tzeentch most of the time, or just ignore the over convoluted abnettwank that is HH.

Edit: Rogue trader game news: Alpha support banner got axed by GW. They did the same interference in dow games too.

So at least they are keeping an autistic watch on the IP so we don't have stuff sneaked in by third parties. Space wolf laughs at girl marines.
