Might be, I don't know. Never watched enough of her shit to care really, and he/she definitely does do the troon thing with the caked on makeup, blown out camera, etc. If that means goobertown is a tranny chaser, that's all the more hilarious. But that's also funny he/she/it is trying to get their way into another community for internet clout.

It’s literally what the church accused the Templar of doing before the French King killed them all
Companies need to start stringing up all their community management people. Thats his these faggots work their way in. No official wikis either let the spergs duke it out

Correction: it's what the ecclesiastical puppets of the French king accused them before killing them all. The rest of the Templars outside of France were not persecuted by the Church; they just changed their names and moved on. Later on, the Church preached the official line that the French king and his puppet pope were all wrong and that the Templars were innocent.
Problem is, these companies welcome these community management folks. Makes them more presentable, which makes it easier for left-leaning investment firms to toss money at these companies. When these companies are trying to harry out the "Nazis" from their fanbases, it's not done out of an eager desire for a more inclusive community, they're trying to tell investment firms that their communities are respectable and are worthy of investment.
Also, the wikis are fanmade; they are not official in any capacity whatsoever. The Lexicanum is no more official than the 40K wiki. They're fan projects. They're about as "official" as someone's fanfiction about a male Commander Shepard from Mass Effect plugging a female version of Rowboat Gorillaman in the ass while yelling ''it's a big stupid jellyfish!'' There is also no feasible way to get rid of these wikis; they are made by fans, and you cannot stop them from making wikis if they so desire it.
Troon or not, she's pushing her politics down on people who could've been paying customers. They're entirely reliant on ESG money for profit, which isn't good since unlike Warhammer, they don't have an army of paypigs.

It's almost like the terrible fags that listen to cucky don't give a shit about the game itself and only want to spam unfunny memes beaten to death.

Goobertown Hobbies is a ghoul who thought that Indiana is in the south, a ghoul who made a video about trying to find fucking female minis for coo- I mean representation, and now the ghoul is doing some fake wholesome shit involving the controversy of the year. Did I mention that Goobertown Hobbies looks like a even more ghoulish Buffalo Bill. If you have to follow a fucking freak follow Dana Howl, his videos are much better than the ghoul's pity points and fake wholesome faggotry.

I’m convinced so many of the people who say something about wanting to support a company because they “stick it to the chuds” tend to not really support the company, want to play the game or have a genuine interest. It’s like the people who could only get into battletech after they kicked Pardoe. Like that’s what it took for you to like any of it? You couldn’t enjoy it until he was shitcanned? You can’t genuinely enjoy something because people you dislike enjoy it?

Those are activists. Most of them just say it online but do nothing; at most they might buy or pirate a few things but in the end they do nothing, unless they were already in the hobby anyways. In which case they were already enjoying the hobby before the chuds appeared.

But it's not about them, you see. These companies are trying to appeal to activist investors, not these activist customers. The ones who are already in the hobby will buy the stuff anyways; while those on the outside will write puff-pieces about how good the company is now. You might think that the latter isn't important, but it is, since it incentivizes firms like Blackrock and Vanguard to toss more money into the gaping maws of companies like Games Workshop and Wizards of the Coast, thereby funding their future escapades.
Usually, that just leads to disaster in the long run, see Disney, Microsoft, Sony, and Warner Brothers. But Games Workshop already has an army of blind paypigs, so the activism doesn't hurt them, it just brings more attention to them, and the paypigs don't give a shit so long as their plastic crack is delivered on time. So while Disney and other companies are being affected by woke bullshit exhaustion, GW is safe, since like Pokemon, they've got people who will buy the stuff even if they don't know shit about the lore, or don't care about it.

Too lazy to find who recommended me Riders of the Dead, but kudos to you. It really reminds me when Dan Abnett didn't have his head stuck in his ass, and probably had an editor forbidding him from making the books go too long.

I doubt Grummz will follow through with this. About 9 years ago he was setting up something called "League for Gamers"

It didn't last very long:

This is one of the reasons why he's considered a grifter. He does manage to get some less ambitious stuff done, but a lot of the time when he says stuff like "let's make our own Warhammer!" he's just talking. I don't hate him or anything, but I would never give him money.

Pretty much, and when they do mixed sets, it's either boob chests with helmets like Dark Eldar warriors which is functional enough. But then you get horrible shit like the Dark Eldar Wytches that all look like creepy trannies. There's a reason most times units end up gendered since it's the only way to make models that don't look weird. Custodes could probably get away with it appealing that the armor is fucking huge and you only need different heads. But no way in hell a new box for that is coming out yet. At most femstodes will come out as a special character and some generic characters. Unless a new unit is released which could have some female heads for the brownie points.
Honestly, the willingness to actually buckle down and do a system, do some theeming and when people screech at you, have the will to ignore them. Biggest hurdle is courting the "anti woke" market without it fracturing. Anti woke has a lot of no true Scotsman (I consider myself guilty of this as well). Best approach is initial Helldivers, nothing political and fuck you to anybody that bitches about it.
The biggest problem though is still compelling aesthetics with a competent system under the hood. And it's a long march, OPR took years to get some visibility and Mantic is still a pretty small player even though it's been active for a ton of years.
GW mechanics are the best combination of complexity without value. I'm still amazed by how slow the game is compared to other wargames. 40K would improve leaps and bounds just by swapping to an alternating activation system.
Guy loves to jump the gun too much... people screaming "GO WOKE GO BROKE!" should really let the dust settle and confirm if it yes, indeed, it went broke.
Even if it didn't actively antagonize potential players, it would be a very small game anyway. Yes, they got a nice wad of cash, but it's only 2000 backers and those guys will have to be your ambassadors. Unless you have a weird case of fuck you money like Para Bellum, odds are it will be a gigantic battle to get going. Still a horrible idea to piss off possible customers, but I'm very sure that if the game dies a quick death, it wouldn't have been exactly stopped by appealing to the chuds either.
On a different note, do we have a wargames general thread? Since I honestly kind of treat this thread like that at times. I'm personally keeping an eye on the new Bolt Action edition coming in September. Have been tempted to go historical for a while.

He really needs to learn that sometimes talking about thing gives thing power. It's why a lot of celebrities didn't bring up drama they have with no-names, so they don't get attention and don't build up a brand.
That said, is that Kickstarter still going or is it completed? I didn't catch it in the thread earlier, apologies.

If you're looking for another Empire book to read I'd recommend Grimblades. You can still find it in paperback for a reasonable price.

Thanks, I'll add it to my next book purchase.
Old World lore can be pretty awesome, especially when they can really develop lore like life as a chaos raider. The issue it had is of "big fish in a small pond" where nothing can happen since the entire setting hinges on being static. This is less of an issue in 40K due to being able to make a planet its own pond, but then you are limited on the world building being well written enough to make us give a shit about it before the climax happens.

Really feel like physical stores are going to be heading out the door soon and the last vestige of holding the line (unwashed Nurgle players who have never seen a bar of shop) will be gone
