An yet, whenever they get involved they barely fix shit, get their shit pushed in or fuck up royally. For guys who both have plot armor and authors blessings, they never seem to be doing too well, instead just making vague promises to fix stuff.
That can change any time. A new author can come along and say that the Ultramarines fixed everything with the power of diversity, tolerance, and friendship.
which are white, the point being theres still a much heavier level of exclusivity with a nazi group vs the rainbow race and gender brigade.
White and Yellow. Can't forget Pearl Harbor, Midway, Manila, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa. Some of the hardest battles the Allies fought, that helped take up resources and helped the Nazis last for a bit longer. Every soldier the Allies sent to fight the Japanese and their allies was one less soldier sent to fight the Germans.
oh silly me i meant understand in terms of what people would want when presented with its prior material, but youre right thats not really the goal, the goal is to appease faggots. im not being sarcastic to you btw youre right here.
There's always been this thing called ''death of the author'', which built up its own culture. It's what allowed Star Wars fans to think that maybe, Star Wars' Dark Side and the Empire weren't as bad as what Lucas set them up to be, or that maybe, Batman is as much to blame for the crime in Gotham as the crooks themselves. Warhammer had a strong culture of this, the Imperium was meant to be just as much of a problem for the people of 40K as the other factions were, but over time, some fans and authors re-interpreted things to make it feel as if the Imperium is a shield against mankind's foes, and no matter how bad it is, we must support it, because the enemy is always worse.
This phenomenon is as old as fiction itself. Before the Three Kingdoms novel was written, the Wei Empire during China's Three Kingdoms era was seen as the legitimate Empire, the rightful successors of the Han, and the Shu-Han were mere usurpers. Liu Bei, the ruler of the Shu-Han, crowned himself as the new Han emperor right after the true Han Emperor, Liu Xie, sold his rights to the throne to his brother-in-law, Cao Pi, who then renamed the Han Empire the Wei Empire and continued his brother-in-law's regime. But over time, people began to saw Liu Bei as the rightful ruler of that era, and the official Romance of the Three Kingdoms book written by Luo Guanzhong portrayed Liu Bei as the hero and the Cao family as the villains, even though the official history texts painted Liu Bei as a rebel usurper.
Warhammer 40K flourished with this trope, with many fans and authors presenting the Imperium as a dark fantasy Gondor holding back the evil forces of Chaos and Xenos, where no matter as bad as the Imperium is, defending it and helping it is necessary, for the forces of Chaos and Xenos are worse. This, of course, pissed off the old-guard leftists at GW and among the 40K fanbase, and so, they wanted to do one of two things; either make the Imperium fully evil and have another faction be the actual good guys, or have the Imperium reform and be the good guys. They tried the former with the Tau, it didn't work, so they just made the Tau as bad as the Imperium, so now, they're going to try the latter and make the Imperium diverse and fix its shit so that it can be the presentable, good guy faction. Making female Custodes is the first step, especially since the Custodes are important to the point where they rank above the Astartes and can only be commanded by the Emperor or his regent, Primarch Guilliman.
well now theyre correct because their sneaking and gaslighting failed so each day without a fsm is just wasted time really.
So now, their masks are off, and they're just gonna go full-in to make 40K diverse and make it a leftist franchise in full. No more appeasing conservatives by not making female Space Marines.
unironically they may as well skip to black trans mecha wheelchair midget quadriplegic mentally retarded bi pan bipoc mixed mongrel balding fat non binary space marine. just get as many "historic firsts" into the hobby and soak up the praise before the hobby becomes history
They'll probably do that, too. Hell, you can have all sorts of stories like that with Space Marine Dreadnoughts. Maybe one of them identifies as a she, and will gun you down if you call it a ''he''.
