This is really about just subverting the face of the hobby to fit leftist identity politics, that's it in a nutshell. There's already female representation in the game, the problem is they aren't the "poster child" of the game.
@SonRebell
@warhammer
I didn't. It's very clear what all these people are doing. We've seen it ruin star wars, marvel, comic books, anime, videogames, virtually everything. now they want to ruin 40k as well.
@wayotworld
Makes you think though, doesn't it? Why can't humans be different species? Bone structure is not the same across "races" but for some reason saying that has been deemed as "racist" despite obvious facts showing it to be truth.
@Kokujinkisama
There is no point in even arguing with these people. They want to make it a cultural war so they can take their side and discredit their opponents because they have nothing else worth arguing

Here I'll bite. It is being forced because of ESG/DEI requirements. Not every game needs LGBTQ+ or minority representation or to push certain political viewpoints.
@TheKnownOtaku
This misses the entire point. Cotton fought in the Pacific so he'd have to know the difference between a Laotian (ally) and Japanese (enemy). He's not being racist, he's showing that he's worldly.
@Cymatics13
Exactly. They want to come in only to change things to fit their political agenda and "take over" the fandom. See virtually every other fandom that leftists have infested.
@Paroxysm1986
You are a liar, as they do usually take the lore pretty serious until nonsense like this. There have been retcons (this isn't one btw) but people didn't like those either. It's always been justified though.
The fact you don't care about anything other than as a vehicle to push…
@vergilswarrior
Remember: The point here is Cotton fought in the Pacific (or claimed to, it's up for debate since he also claimed to be in Munich) so would have to know the difference between a Laotian (ally) and a Jap (enemy)
@MrsKonradCurze
Isn't this literally just the Lego study where they found that girls want to make the thing like them Whereas boys want to become the thing?
@catalystgamelab
Yet another example why you need to gatekeep your hobbies. What this obviously means is "you must listen to left wing identity politics" and anything to the right is "bad". Because it always means that whenever a fandom posts something like this v
@ChampionsOTIce2
This is it in a nutshell. The only reason they want Space Marines to include women is because Space Marines are the "face" of the game.
@road_dancer
Saying anything beyond "they've always been there" would have been acceptable, no matter how awful the writing was (centurion suits and necron+blood angels brofist spring to mind). But lying and gaslightning is not.
@LavenderGhast
The problem is they keep trying to equate a videogame world with "the real world".
When you stop trying to push modern stuff everywhere, it makes a lot more sense. But for some reason, these guys are incapable of doing that.
@road_dancer
They straight up said "there have always been female custodes" which is 100% a lie, as the previous codex specifically mentioned the SONS of nobles becoming custodes, and they've always been referenced as all men.
That's it, that's the lie.
@Grummz
These people don't seem to understand that Mediterranean is not "black" or "brown" skinned, and on top of that just shows their bullying. Sadly for this artist now they kowtowed to the bullies so they won't ever escape.
@DelusionPosting
Literally every single one of these NPCs are completely ignoring that Sweet baby are the ones who started the harassment, and completely spreading lies, misinformation and outright propaganda to paint them as the victim.
Some people are so blinded by their "good vs. evil" and "left vs. right" beliefs that they can't seem to get the problem isn't "ew female custodes" but the lying and gaslighting from GW's twitter about it.
No one but the most rabid/unsavor "chuds" would have cared if it was…
@myhiddenvalue
Remember when people said this WOULDN'T happen if we allowed gay marriage and all that jazz? Literally everything that was warned about that slippery slope has happened.

I mean, when literally every civilization in the history of the world has tried to enslave and/or destroy you... maybe the problem isn't everybody else.

Yeah, that's the fucking problem right there.
Since there's a lot of misinformation (willfully?) going on here's the timeline for the femstodes thing to make it perfectly clear what the real problem is. Feel free to bookmark and use against people spouting false narratives.

@DubhDonald
He admitted in Dark Imperium that he "tested" them and asked for them to be used. Guilliman said no, but it's cawl so do we think he really listened?
@Grummz
The biggest problem is people who can't separate IC from OOC. If my human ranger is prejudice against Orcs because they killed my family, that doesn't mean that I (the player) is somehow racist against blacks or whatever they think Orcs represent.
True roleplayers know this
@emerald_midgear
The hilarious thing is this continues to ignore Sisters, when their whole thing is they aren't genetically enhanced but just as badass as Marines AND use literal miracles. But that's not good enough?

@road_dancer
They just had to add something about how rarely there will be a daughter, and rarer still she manages to pass the trials (like that lady who passed the navy SEAL test) and how she's treated like any other "brother".
They couldn't even do that.
@NerdiestNic
Never forget the government conned everyone into giving up almost all their rights and living like hermits over what was basically a stronger flu
@voidrantsback
Surely you mean you'll block people like journalists and the media spouting out lies and propaganda, and not people pointing out the truth, right?
Right?
@TArchcast
So tired of people thinking Slaanesh = sex. Slaanesh is excess and pleasure (all types, not just sexual). An artist who aspires to be the greatest in the universe is as likely to fall prey to Slaanesh as a hedonistic pervert.
@HashionDiscord
The biggest issues of all are the constant FOMO and weekly releases. People dont' have money to drop a bunch on a box that sells out immediately online all the time.
It's not sustainable.
@Whissia
They can't. If they backtrack it's damage control. If they don't (like the official Twitter seems to) it's bending the knee.
They screwed themselves

@warhammer
It never was though before. I remember you from the old days of White Dwarf, and none of this nonsense was even remotely a thing then. It's only in the last 10 years it's become a mark to push what is always leftist politics everywhere.
You know as well as I do that Custodes…
