I started 40k a few months ago and the custodes are my favorite human faction. The introduction of female custodes, although pretty fucking weird and out of left field, doesnt bother me because i can always choose to not put them in my army, i can always choose to not acknowledge them. I get the outrage since the community is very passionate, but saying that youll drop a hobby as a whole for something that it is inconsequential is pretty dumb. If i went with that logic, i wouldnt have any hobbies. Not trying to start shit or saying that people are invalid in their feelings. Also Sisters of Silence are the true "honorary" custodes in my book.

Again, it is not the adding of females that is the problem, it is the reason. Do you understand?

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.

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'm inclined to agree with this.

Simply put, women as a demographic do not and never will care about wargames or military science fiction. Outliers aside, it is simply not a subject matter that they are interested in, and there's no number of female characters that will ever change this. For comparison, take this 270k survey study on male/female engagement in video games by genre:
1713212377183.png
I suspect that female engagement with any facet of GW IP, including painting, fiction, and video games, is around 5% with the likes of FPS video games. If there are any public GW shareholder reports that confirm or deny this, I'd appreciate it.

I believe even GW is aware that the female demographic is a lost cause. So who are female Custodes for? Who are the people ultimately clamoring for female Space Marines? Why, troons and their male allies of course, if not some sort of ESG scheme (which I'm personally not convinced of). Unlike women, troons and male allies do have a vocal interest in 40k. It's why Space Marines painted in tranny colors shoot to the top of reddit at least once a month. Unlike women, troons and male allies are a demographic with potential to be enticed into buying GW product. Because they're men.

For the record, as fine as they are, I don't even believe that Sisters of Battle are intended for a female audience. They're first and foremost meant for guys who want to paint chicks and have a nun or warrior woman fetish.
 
On the bright side, with an increase in LGBTQ+ influencers in the 40k space, we can look forward to 38 different twitlongers each con/tourney season about wierd maladjusted men and women being autistic about sex or actual legit rapists
 
I'm not a Warhammer autist myself but I'll give you guys credit, you held out longer than Tolkien nerds and even longer than anime autists, so be proud of that at least.
 
It never even dawned on me it was about trannies. Great, another thing they have ruined.

Sisters have been overwhelmingly played by dudes as long as I can remember. I played them in 3rd ed and back in the early/mid 2000s, I knew of... two other players in the forums, mailing lists etc who were also female. And one of them was married to one of the guy Sisters players.

I simp for the other emo boy personally, but I blame Aaron Dembski-Bowden. I have ~four thousand points of the fuckers and it's entirely his fault.

I seem to remember so mild drama ages ago about someone getting banned from some painting competition because he kept submitting a graphic Slanneshi rape dioramas featuring Sisters of Battle as their fuck toys and straight away I thought, “that has to be a tranny.”
 
You guys cant be real "40k was the last bastion for me" there have to be other scifis you are cared about or other table tops you cared about right? Its why the fact people just say 3D print or recast Warhammer makes me roll my eyes. You do nothing to hurt GW if you continue to play in the GW sphere and use models aligned to it. Your refusal to even try alternatives really does kill the table top scene like what happened to playing 9th age or Kings of War? WHO CARES OLD WORLD IS BACK BABY GW BURNED ME ONCE BUT IM BACK TO OWN AGE OF SHITMAR!

At this point I feel like we need a manual to cover this with a title like, "So, the corporation that publishes your favorite hobby has been taken over by woke Blackrock funded retards?"

I think the first thing I'd put in it is, "DON'T PANIC" and the next thing would be locate your trusty towel. Wait. That's just The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, ok scratch the part about the towel (though towels are really handy).

So here's some starting points:
1. An emotional reaction is what they are after, so don't give it to them. (That doesn't mean don't have an emotional reaction, just don't let them know. Iron Within and all that.)
2. Talk to your actual friends who enjoy the hobby with you and bounce ideas off of each other.
3. Instead of throwing thousands of dollars/pounds worth of minis away, just box them up and put them away for now. You'll thank me later. (I understand the impulse to toss them in the trash, but that impulse might pass.)
4. Find something else that you can enjoy while waiting. Trust me there is other stuff out there that you didn't have time for because you were focusing on your other hobby, and this will always be true.
5. Remember to laugh at every catastrophe the woke retards inflict on the company that betrayed you if you become aware of it. They don't want your laughter they want grief.

Wise words of wisdom.

Heed the old nerds of the TSR era.

This, too, shall pass.

Star Trek and Star Wars went down the shitter. An lot of stuff is catering to the "third gender" nonsense or outright mentioning trannies bodysurfing or something. Everything else is either dead or just got milked to death by Hollywood or the DEI cult.

I just want to see when will these companies start going under, tbh
 
I hate Harry Potter too.

But definately don't throw your minis out. Either just stash them in a box, or sell them as second hand. I used to get stuff from Ebay when I still did 40k. Did the amazon deal axe the reselling?

Trannies who say "as a woman in this hobby..." are the ones stirring up shit all the time, and so many idiots fall for the bait. The trannies are the ones scaring actual women away. The writer for the upcoming space marine 2 game is also a tranny, wtf why are they everywhere?
