I am a female player. I have Ultramarines, Orcs, chaos marines and I collect various minis that I enjoy, like Grimaldus.
From now on, I will be 3D printing. I will pirate your books and share them with all of my friends for free. This pandering is insulting and condescending.
"I don't play your game and know nothing about the hobby, but let me come in and impose my dumbass ideology because men are icky and shouldn't be allowed to have hobbies!"

I don't! I don't even play this game. But I go to my local game stores and I look at the minis for sale and all I see are men. Having a token female mini in most of the armies is not representation. Unless you're telling me roughly half the gendered minis are women I see an issue
No, you came into a hobby space that you know NOTHING about and don't participate in, then try to insist that they change it to your specifications despite there being a HUGE amount of female representation already.
Accidentally suggested that maybe the fantasy sci-fi game could have more women in it and people are losing their minds.
Not to say that magic players don't have room to grow but you all are fucking angels compared to warhammer players oh my God.
Why do you need it? There are female only factions and male only factions. There are many mixed factions. There is something for everyone.
Why are some women incapable of enjoying stories about people who are different from them, and need to force a self-insert into it?
What about the many women who are deeply unsatisfied with the way female custodes were shoehorned in? None of the men that agree with me that I have talked to have hated women. They hate political tokenization and forced diversity. They hate bad storytelling and hamfisted changes
2.5 years later the same crowd is still here, this time complaining about women in 40k Lore. If you harbor hate for anything other than Seraphon, please just leave the hobby we won't miss you.
I am a woman and annoyed at my sex being politically tokenized for intersectional points, while devaluing the all female SoS - but please, do tell me how I am being "irrational" and "hysterical". Women love that.
Wokehammer arguments:
"Welcome to our taco truck. We have chicken or steak."
"I'd like chorizo"
"We only have steak or chicken."
"Well you better go to the store & buy some, because I demand you make me a chorizo taco!"
"Steak or chicken"
"Make me a chorizo taco, bigot!"
Okay so, for my 1,000 follower celebration, I wanna make a big stupid thread about the difference between Space Marines and Clone Troopers, or more specifically why I think it's okay for one to be all-male and not for the other. Okay, here goes!
Women: Male violence and hatred against women is so bad we think we might be safer around a bear.
Healthy Male Response: Wow, it is really troubling that women feel that way. What can I do?
Instead: Women are dumb, I’m a nice guy. I hope the bear kills them.
See the problem.
Your hobbies are rioting, burning down businesses and harassing women who are independent thinkers. I don't see how I could make them any worse than they already are.
What are YOU implying by suggesting that I 1.) have no right to speak up in a male dominated hobby space 2.) Have no right to decide for myself what my own opinion is and 3.) Suggesting that I must pretend to be thrilled with the obvious shoehorning, retcon & gaslighting by GW?
@MrsKonradCurze
What are you accomplishing by 1.)Speaking up in a male-majority hobby space and directly stating your gender 2.) Siding with an obviously outnumbered sub-sect of rightwing hobbyists and 3.) Stating how you are "offended" by femstodes?
If you don't play the game and don't know the lore maybe sit this one out. You have no idea what you are talking about. There are more women in 40k than I can even list.

There have never been female custodes. Name one, before this short story. There is zero evidence of this. It would be one thing if GW had offered some kind of explanation, or better yet, made SoS part of the Custodes. But they didn't. They are lying and so are you.

@Idk721252
They're not pandering. The tweet was accurate. Newbies are freaking out over nothing and it's getting tiresome. It's great you've got 3 armies. But in this particular case, you've been misinformed.
@cjkirk111
@MrsKonradCurze
Nope, but GW wrote their lore this way for decades, with evolutions and modifications, good and badly, and fem custodes is'nt even a big one
Now go home tourist, and let the adults enjoy their hobby

I guess
@warhammer
doesn't want female fans.
I don't want them either if they are going to pander to a small minority and neglect the female factions so the coomers can have their muscle mommies.
@WargamerCom
I, and many other FEMALE FANS of 40k DO NOT WANT FSM'S.
By adding females to the ranks of the astartes you lose the unique culture of brotherhood and masculine comraderie that the chapters exemplify. Having all male spaces is not sexist. Removing them IS. Stop the misandry.
You are the kind of man that would stone a woman in an Islamic country for displaying her ankles.
I thought your kind believed that minorities should be heard. Apparently only when we toe the line.
Again. Go. Fuck. Yourself.
You know how I can tell you're a sexist POS?
You didn't argue against WHAT I said. You didn't have any rebuttal of substance. You argued about me speaking as a woman in a male dominated hobby, how I said my opinion, and who I was "siding with". Clown.
He wanted to police me.

@Idk721252
Are you incapable of playing as a character that doesn't share every one of your features?
Why do you need to self-insert to enjoy something? Why can't you appreciate a character on their own merits and try to see things from the perspective of someone different?
@barelyRebecca

@Idk721252
They do. Lots of men play as SoB or with female guard members, or with female aeldari or Drukhari or Tau, and the SoB have a huge following. They are respected because they are ordinary women facing the worst horrors of the galaxy with nothing but faith and a melta.
Women ARE included. There are tons of factions with females, female only factions. We don't need more "representation" in 40k. No one is stopping women from participating - in fact the community will welcome you as long as you are there for love of the hobby and not activism.
Essentially what
@warhammer
did was give an award for "Woman of the Year" to a man. You have the Sisters of Silence right there. But you slapped tits and a female name onto a custodes and expect female fans to clap like seals. You didn't even bother giving an explanation.
Summer homeschool curriculum 2024:
-Communism and why it is evil
-Local history
-Kitchen safety, cooking, gardening
-Personal banking
-Introduction to Careers: Skilled Trades
-Math
-Handwriting and Cursive
Plus: Swimming, go cart driving, mini golf, and weightlifting
Because it shunts the awesome SoS to the side so they can shoehorn in a circus freak as the new "female representation" and gaslight us. It's like giving Caitlyn Jenner a woman of the year award a few months after her "transition" and overlooking real women.
@GoodTakesFloyd
Silence actual female fans and boost the signal for pretend female fans.
You know, same reason a real woman gets banned from the gym if she complains about a big old exposed dick in her locker room.
A personal story about how 40k has helped me face adversity.
A few years ago, my family suffered a tragedy, the nature of which I don't want to discuss. A few months later, I got pregnant with my son. From the outset, things looked bad. There were a lot of complications...⬇️
Download everything.
3D Print or buy printed minis from Etsy.
Army Painter has great paints, I have been very happy with them.
r/piracy or r/pirating for more info.
Yo Ho, bitches.
LOL Enjoy razing GW to the ground you identity politics brain addled simpletons. 😂
I hope Games Workshop gets everything you want out of it straight to the gutter
@instablog9ja
Hubby freed me from corporate servitude so that I could stay at home, care for our home and kids, grow a garden and raise chickens. What woman in her right mind would chose office politics over all that?
This is a very reasonable article written by a gay black man in leftist circles. We may not agree on politics, but we don't need to. You love Warhammer and are sad to see it come to its current state. And in that, we can agree. I wish you well, friend.
You began our interaction with a slur. Not a question. Not a request for dialog. Not a genuine attempt to discuss or debate. This entire exchange is in bad faith on your part. You do not deserve my time, and I owe you nothing.

"-women can't communicate freely in a manner they see fit"...without recieving criticism for the insulting and disingenuous manner in which they state that opinion.
Freedom of speech is not freedom from the consequences of that speech.

@IrfanAhyatullah
Females can be made sterile too.
Each Custodes is a unique work of art. They are taken as infants and reshaped on a cellular level using DAoT alchemy and whatever other secret voodoo. There is zero reason why females couldn't be made Custodes. There is no male factor in it.
I, a married woman and mother, am a "pick me", while you, the oh-so superior feminist, are a *checks notes* "cat mom".
Yeah, I don't think I need to listen to any of your advice. I am way ahead of you in life.
@Bartric2
Typical commie behavior. Silence all open dissent first, then silence those who ask questions and the media. Then start removing people who aren't bowing/scraping enthusiastically enough.
@idioticsynergy
Historically Custodes have been described as male, and that noble houses of terra would line up to offer their *sons* as potential recruits. I prefer them to remain as such. As a woman, I feel that women are already well represented in the 40k universe, and we don't need them.
@IrfanAhyatullah
Why not feature a Sister of Silence? We NEED more SoS lore. Femstodes don't even make sense. But oh, they've always existed. We have always been at war with Eastasia, and there is no war in Ba Sing Se.
Please, keep using debunked propaganda points to "mansplain" to a woman about what feminism is.
Nothing is so sad and pathetic as a virtue signaling male feminist. Absolute filth.
@MrsKonradCurze
@kukuruyo
That’s not what equality means.
A man and woman doing the same damn job shouldn’t be paid differently for example.
You are one confused idiot about what feminism is about.
It was the stories I had read about grim determination against insurmountable odds, acceptance of death, acceptance that things will probably end badly, but still pushing on, that inspired me and gave me strength.
A woman can learn from stories of war, too.
Dude, all I am doing is holding up a mirror to the absolute troglodites on your side. I don't require or desire attention or approval from anyone. I am here to spread Night Lord memes. You guys are the ones coming to me. Now take a long, hard look at the mirror.

As an American, all I want to do is NOT think about the election. I know who I am voting for. Advertising it is just asking for my car to be keyed or randomly getting punched.
I just want to get on with my day.
@WilliamFastje
@warhammer
I agree with you. Sorry you are getting dogpiled by the absolute worst of degenerate heretical scum. Nothing in your letter was sexist or anything of the sort.
What GW did was blatant tokenism followed by the laziest attempt at gaslighting I have ever seen. Sheer arrogance.
Minors shouldn't be on the Internet to begin with, as any DECENT parent knows. Maybe the kid will get out and make some real friends now instead of talking to a bunch of groomers.
@spaceshark23
@warhammer
Maybe I want to enjoy Custodes for the noble warriors they are and NOT A FRIGGING PORNO FACTION OF MUSCLE MOMMIES like what the furries did to the Space Wolves!
