I'm just here for fire arms, video games, figures and 40K. Follower of the God Emperor the Lion. Sister of Battle at heart. Let the Cycle be Discontinued!

Some how I've amassed a lot of new followers over the last 24 hours. So I'm gonna make this my pinned tweet, because why not?. I'd like tobadd gardening in to the list of happy things now too.
Someone once told me I was becoming a little ball of hate due to my interactions on this app. That's why, lately, I've tried to share and talk about the things that make me happy. 40k.Mega Man.Zelda.Dinosaurs.Mecha.Books and movies I like.Our pets.Cooking. Hopefully it's working.

Can we. maybe. perhaps. have *any* proof of this?. Where were the female custodes during the 50-60 odd HH books?. Where were female custodes during any of the 40k Custodes books?. Where were female custodes during the last 9 editions of the game?. Where were the female.
@Idk721252 Since the first of the Ten Thousand were created, there have always been female Custodians.

No, I'm sorry. I can't and won't agree with this. The lore is why we're in 40K, hell, any game. The lore gives meaning to what we're playing. Dismissing it is dismissing the soul of the game. And still calling them "toy soldiers"? When they cost an arm and a leg, when *you* are.
I worked for Games Workshop for a very specific part of its history. I started in the Mail Order Trollz and worked my way up into the Studio, finishing out my career with GW working on White Dwarf magazine, UK and then US edition. During my time at the company, especially during

Anyone care to tell me, a female fan and player, how I'm being excluded from warhammer or any other gaming space?. I really want to hear the asspull misogynistic reasonings behind this.
the warhammer community, where you create armies of dolls based on fanfic lore and then paint them by following makeup tutorials, is a very conceptually funny place to exclude women from.

Okay. I take issue with this. Alanna of Trebond wasn't "gender non-conforming" or any of that bullshit. She was a girl who wanted to be a knight and couldn't because women weren't allowed to be knights. She didn't "hate" being female, she hated that she couldn't do what she.
The author, Maia Kobabe, had the same childhood obsession with gender non-conforming characters and historical figures as I did. My heroes growing up were Joan of Arc, Deborah Sampson, and other women who overthrew gender norms to take part in the battles of their time.

Lore doesn't matter when y'all want FSM. Lore is unbreakable and sacrosanct with the apparent new Custodes codex. If y'all didn't have double standards you'd have no standards at all.
Wow, a lore purist who doesn't care about lore. Tourists just don't like to admit that 40k has an unbreakable canon that must be adhered to at all times. -M.A.R.C.

@barelyRebecca @MrsKonradCurze @warhammer @Idk721252 Then why are you even opining on this?. You don't know anything about the lore or setting or all of the female representation we already have.

This is not how I wanted Warhammer to die. Any other year and I don't think this would have made waves. Yes, people would have grumbled, but going from 60 bucks to 63 bucks isn't the worst thing that could have happened. But a 5% increase on something that is already overpriced.
From the 10th of June 2024 we’ll be changing some prices. Visit the Warhammer Community site now for details. #WarhammerCommunity

@JoINrbs Not at all. Mostly because I agree. Pandering, DIE bullshit and "inclusionary" tactics are the death knell of any franchise. And yes, we've all heard the story of the pro female soccer team that got BTFO by a high-school team, but that doesn't play a role in RPGs or tabletop.

If they don't matter, why do you care?. This entire article is basically a self-loathing white guy pretending he's the savior of the downtrodden & "marginalized," calling the Imperium fascist, while evoking GamerGate/Trump.You don't speak for us. You don't even speak for yourself.
Here's the #warhammer40k tea, served hot: female #spacemarines don't matter. But by staying silent about them, GW is giving tacit support to the absolute worst people in the #warhammercommunity - and it has to stop. A new long read by our editor: 🔗⬇️.

Men are allowed their hobbies and they're allowed to be the spotlight. There is nothing wrong with a male dominated hobby having a male only faction that are the poster boys for said male hobby. Women get a ton of the spotlight in Xenos, Guard and the sisters. Finally
@HMBohemond Yes, there are SOME representations of women and POC in Warhammer 40k, but certainly not in the spotlight, or their main draws. Like, the fact that the poster children of 40k, the Space Marines, is STILL a boys club is crazy to me.

I'm just gonna say this:. The people coming in and calling myself and others "tourists" for not being able to afford minis in 40K is insane. I work as a nurses aide, making 12.50 an hour. I'll be getting my CMA cert in a couple of months and starting LPN classes soon after.
@callumlyal73631 I mostly read the books and play the computer games. The models are bit too pricey at my current pay. But welcome ^_^.

So. Wait a minute. Let me get this straight. The new battleforce box is 15 jump pack units and a tank. for 240 bucks *and* doesn't include the codex. The combat patrol. *removed* the rhino *and* the seraphim *and* the repentia. for more flagellents 5 more battle sisters and.

"Trust me bro, my uncle works for GW. Also, he says Horus is coming back and that the Tau are the good guys. Just trust me bro". Post the email.
Just fyi, "FemStodes" aren't going away, at all. In fact, Games Workshop is going to be doubling down after 3.0 releases of HH with more Custodes updates and moving everything to plastic from Resin. Custodes 3.0 Tribune is rumored to have female head option per accidental.

Dead names are a farce. Who you were before transition isn't dead and gone and lashing out at family and friends for still using the name they new you as or gave you for *years* is selfish in the extreme. I was born Steven, I will die Caitlin. Also, non-binary is a load of shit.

@525Smoke Yeah. The nursing home I work for is the lowest paid home in the area. I'm mostly here still because they'll pay for continuing education, like helping me get LPN. Once I'm done with LPN, I'm going to be finding another job.

Wheel of Power isn't Wheel of Time. Just as Rings of Power isn't Lord of the Rings. Amazon has raped and abused two beloved series and dragging them through the mud. The only people who enjoy either of these shows are thoughtless simps who have never read the source material.
It actually annoys me that the wheel of time isn’t on the same level as game of thrones in terms of popularity! It’s one of the best fantasy tv shows we’ve ever had!

So fucking tired of Cawl being brought up any time some clownhammer fool wants to try and make FSM (or anything else) work. It took Cawl 10 *thousand* years to finish what the Emperor started and all it did was make Space Marines slightly stronger to their heresy counterparts.
@FaithAndAnger @traquinnius An improvement would also be having a larger pool that the process can work on. Yes. Progenoid organs are keyed off male hormones. But then- what if Cawl, equipped with the Magna Mater was able to make progenoid organs compatible with women too.

@whalenonfools Anyone can enjoy it, that's never been an issue. But when you change/water down/expand something to try and appease *everyone*, it never works and just drives away the fans that made it popular to begin with. Look at D&D and comics. Nothing should have to cater to everyone.

@Gow13510 @ChadNotChud I'm not exactly sure what kind of "own" you think you have there. Have you read those sections of the Bible and the stories associated with them?. Nothing there explicitly says abortion is condoned or moral.

Dear #Wokehammer:. Y'all don't have to lie about your collections, on how big (or small) they are, how they're painted or anything like that. No one besides you cares. We only care if you enjoy the story and setting. Y'all put out the purity tests, which we always pass. Do better

I just can't any more with these people. They're so convinced of the evils of anyone who doesn't believe exactly what they believe they've literally become insane. There's no talking with people like this. They can't put ideology aside and just enjoy things.
Unironically yeah, that's how right-wingers deserve to be treated. If you don't keep right-wingers away from your space, that space will eventually become full of neo-nazis and other terrible people, and by extension it will become unsafe for marginalized folks.

Wait. What?. Okay, hold on a moment. Y'all introduce a fairly sizable retcon, block and mute fans who question y'all, turn a good portion of the fanbase against y'all, alienate a portion of the rest all to chase the last portion of the fanbase who just want to spank it to their.

@GyzmoFyre88 Seriously, if femstodes were meant to add female representation, they could have just given us more female body molds and heads. Why can't they just add more female guard, Eldar, Votan, Tau, Agents of the Imperium and Sororitas models?. Shit, seems easier & would appease the base.

We. Don't . Fucking . Care!. *Your* political agenda is not *our* political agenda and trying to force the masses to give a fuck is going to end very, *very* badly for you. You apparently are/were a dev for Devolver and I guarandamntee you not all of their games are political.
I see a lot of people saying that politics have nothing to do with @thegameawards. Games are political. Saying otherwise is by itself a political statement. We game devs are human, it should be sufficient as an argument to denounce the loss of so many innocent lifes.
