The issue here is that Space Marines get 90% of the attention and love. With custodes getting an 5% now that they are no longer hiding in the imperial palace. If Sisters of Silence, and Adeptus Sororitas weren't treated like red haired step children. Then we wouldn't be here. Hell, there are female guardsmen and Eldar and Tau. There are even a few female Necron Lords. GW could have just given any of them some more love. Some more characters. Some more attention. Anything.

@Mordredt they'll keep the zombies around long enough to bite and hopefully infect a couple people, then they'll dispose of or use them as a tax write odd until they get Rooster Teethed or EA'd (in other words liquidated and sell off the IP like Rooster Teeth or liquidate the company and squat on the IP until you want to do something with it in a decade like EA Games). That's of course so long as those pensioners who's money Blackrock wields like an atomic bomb don't start retiring.
The worst thing is, we already have super-cool female only factions. Like Sisters of Battle or Sisters of Silence, latter of which are literally the female equivalent of Custodes already. So now, we have Emperor's female only bodyguards and Emperor's male and female bodyguards. Or will we get Brothers of Silence, in the name of equality, as well? As a man, I want my representation too.
Don't you know? "Diversity and inclusion" for the sake of "Equality" only goes one way in terms of narrative. The diverse opinions don't matter to be included and some are more equal than others. It's pathetic.
Another bit of info to add to the argument is that the guard has everyone in it. Male, female, dogs, cats, you name it. The armies of the game and factions are already diverse
Mate. GW doesn't cater to an audience. They print off plastic models. Get a truck load of money. Then hire 50 plus authors to keep the Lore good. That is what they do. That is what they have always done.
Indeed. Signaling to a fan base that doesn't exist, has no investment in their product, and will do nothing for their bottom line or the growth of the 40K universe. It's just another slow suicide of a once loved IP.

The Saturn 3 is a 12k printer. This means it prints at a higher resolution than GW masters. It can be found at discount on holidays, both US and Chinese. It can print 2 squads at a time. Sunlu resin is $17.99 a kilogram. Chitubox is free. Wahapedia has all the rules. Do with this as you will.
even my mars 2 produces better quality models than GW with basic resin. My actual plastic imperials knights have literal layer lines, and the compromises they have to do to mold things like the decorations on custodes and the fancier space marines aren't present on 3d prints. the only downside is the underside of the model needs cleanup, but IMO its 1000x easier and faster to do than trimming every single mold line. also if you are looking for models, GW is religious about taking down anything related to warhmmer, so you have to search for say 'golden space janitors' instead of custodes, or 'space bugs' instead of tyranids. (cults3d or yeggi) the only thing you can't do with a 3d printed model is bring it to a gw store to play... but if you weight the base its impossible to tell if its real or not once painted...
@@joesheridan9451 if you can find the file, you can print anything. keep in mind people have made these files themselves so they may be slightly different, but a lot of them as so well done you'd never be able to tell.

I have a Mars pattern Warhound Titan that cost me $40 of resin, a whole army of Death Korps of Krieg that cost literally pennies each and a bunch of tyranid and space marine models, all from free files online.
I'm a woman. I love 40k. I love the lore. If I wanted female custodes and space marines, it would mean I didn't like the lore, and I wouldn't have been a fan in the first place. GW is changing the game for people who don't play it.
I like female characters in wh40k, but I have options that fit the setting. Sisters of silence, sororitas, and nothing stopping you from throwing anime heads on guard models. Hell if it’s that important to you, you could always get female space marines/custodes off etsy. Changing lore to fit a temporary ideology after almost 40 years is fking disgusting and we are losing yet another IP to this disgusting ideology.
Happens in a lot of situations, even things not regarding politics. The MMO FF14 has been trying to expand its audience for some time now by trying to grab people who don't like the multiplayer aspect of MMOs, and I think they're only just realizing that trying to tailor your product to people who don't like it is a bad idea.
I'm really curious if the sales of Custodes will spike thorough the room after this change. If their logic holds true, there should be hordes of women yearning to play WH40K held back by only the lack of some sort of female space marines :))) I'm curious if GW will have the balls to show the sales data a few months down the line. Or if the meta in the tournaments changes due to this.

This. Same for dnd. Nobody pays WotC for dnd. Leaving is surrendering. Also, 3d printing is cheap, some models you have to pay 3rd parties but once you have all the models you can make tens thousands of points for the same price as a 2k army from gw. And if you don't have a printer but want to do it, the printer pays for itself after the 1st army. Even cheaper if painting isn't your thing, you don't have to if you have a multicolor printer, it's not gonna be as high quality but you can paint in the model file by itself if it isn't already, it's not only faster but you also only have to do it once per model, then you can make 2k of a single model for like 15 bucks.

@@For_the-Emperorit's really just the difference in how boys and girls think. Look back to the experiments they did on the differences of how each plays differently with toys. Boys play the character, girls put themselves into the toy and have situations they are experiencing or want to have personally. Duke and Flint they need to go stop Destro cause he's the bad guy and we have a understanding of what the bad guy would do and why he needs to be stopped. Toys for boys this is how we think. Girls put themselves into the toy or the characters so instead they would be having a picnic or some kind of party where Destro is the main character played by the girl who is just projecting what she feels into the doll/toy and the other figures are companions to the main character. So if you're daughter is upset, and you actually watch what she's doing with her toys and how's she's playing and what she's says you can get a good idea of what's bothering her. But.... At the end of the day it's the same thing that always happens. Throw a bunch of nerds in a room shove a 4 or a 5 in front of them and they will go off the rails. Stickin your pinky toe in a soggy subway roll isn't worth the headache boys.

A lot of people I heard have compared the Space Marines to the Sister Sororitas, and I could see it, but the disrespect towards the Sisters compared to the Space Marines (Bolter Bitches, anyone?) shows people still take them as a joke. Also, just because they retcon some things, such as having Female Custodians, doesn't mean they have 'gone woke'. I swear, Woke is being used as a shield in some cases as a Mot and Bailey that people can hide the actual terrible people in the larger crowd. I'll hold my breath to see if there is some further woke-isms from GW, though I think the bigger problem from them is their pricing out their lower-income fans more than the wokeness, like how they are breaking Warcry by removing whole factions from Canon in Soulbound just so people are required to buy new armies to keep things legit in the rules for it. They completely removed one of the original Chambers, Bonesplitters and Beasts of Chaos as well as the entirety of the original Chaos Wastes armies! Why not get upset about that?
Our hobby is Warhammer. Their hobby is infiltrating other peoples hobbies, corrupting them, then calling the fans ist-phobes for saying something about it.
This makes me think of the marvel cinematic universe. No one knew a damn thing about any of the heroes and then suddenly everyone was interested and it all became so tiresome.
The meme... Company- "I made a thing!" Fans- "Woo hoo! Yay thing! I love the thing!" Woke clown- "I demand the thing to be changed!" Company - "I've made changed to the thing." The fans - "This sucks." Company- "Hey woke clown, you like the thing?" Woke clown- "No...I NEVER liked the thing anyway.
BlackRock is convincing many companies to embrace wokism. BlackRock knows this will tank their share value so BlackRock(Larry Fink) can buy more of their company.
For those who do not know their 40k: we already had Sisters of Battle. They are really cool power armored, flame-themed female space racists who appeal to both male and female audiences. They are basically female space marines.
Antimale hatred and antiwhite hatred are one and the same. I continue to claim all of this stems from a hatred of everything Western/European, from meritocracy to the European race.
European race? What the fuck does that even mean? Europe extends from the Saami in the North, down to the swarthiest of Sicilians far to the south. Who your grandpa would mistake for a black guy in dim lighting. It extends from the coasts of spain all the way to Turkey where some dude is throwing a rock at a kurdish guy right now. Europe is a continent. Not a bloody race. There are hundreds of ethnicity's. Each one having a vibrant beautiful history all its own. Filled with triumphs and tragedies unique to it. The problem of this generation is that they don't know their own damn history. Instead of embracing a legacy that is uniquely theirs. They settle for this "European race" slop. Its a bloody shame.

Is exactly is the existence of women in a single faction stopping you from enjoying the tabletop game The game and the lore are 2 separate things You could love playing 40K and not read a single novel You could love the novels and not ever play a single game of 40K The only thing stopping you from enjoying the game is you Even if you are a custodes player you don’t have to change anything about your models as that’s just how you enjoy your army which no one can tell you how to enjoy it, but if our playing 40K and someone else has put the time and effort to spend the outrages entry fee for this hobby and overcome the skill needed to paint said overpriced plastic and your gonna trash on them simply because they have female custodes than not only is that being a terrible sport, your just being a terrible person. Me of the reasons I stuck in 40K was because even with my shitty necron paint jobs I was always told how great they looked even though I knew they were bad as they were simply happy I could enjoy the hobby with them And by you being a bitch simply because how they want to enjoy the hobby dosent fit into your status quo you hurt the longevity of this amazing world that we all enjoy and if you can’t accept that then feel free to leave and sell your army as I’m sure someone else would appreciate buying it at a discount and having a fun time with toy soldiers

Hell, it's not even "Tea Party" - when I was a kid, the older neighborhood girls and relatives who babysat for my parents, and female teachers too, had this game, "Mother, May I" that was something like "Simon Says" or "Red Light, Green Light", except you had this older girl ordering you around, and before following the order you had to say "Mother, May I?"", and wait for permission to follow the order - if you forgot to ask for then wait for permission, or messed up the order, you lose. THAT's the game we're getting stuck with over and over! Even "Tea Party" would be the tiniest bit more dignified....
But the faction in question was exclusively male. That is what they have a problem with. But the point also applies to the game as a whole. They view 40k as a male thing, even if it’s not explicitly one. Therefore it needs more inclusivity.
@NoName...... This is absolutely correct. However, when you alter something to appeal to groups that aren't interested in your universe at the detriment of your own IP it is bad business. Anyone could have liked 40k as it was, it didn't need to be changed to attempt to appeal to people who never had any interest in the first place. Applying modern "sensibilities" to established fictional IPs is the height of folly. Especially because it is oh so transparent in what their intent is currently. They don't care about creating an authentic world that appeals to a wider audience. They intend to force retcon their own lore in a hamfisted attempt to appeal to untapped markets. It won't work, because it basically never has, it will piss off long term fans, not all but many, and they'll either backtrack or they'll be stubborn and ride it into oblivion. It is a shortsighted strategy that will result in long term decline.

I also find it insane how expensive it's become. Models that I paid $10-15 for twenty years ago now cost $70-90! It's literally cheaper to buy a 3d printer, download stl files for the models you want, put them on a usb and load them onto the printer to make your own than to buy them from GW.
A company like GW that has such expensive products really should think more carefully about giving their niche customer base a reason to save their money.

Tbf, it would be wildly against the lore to have Cawl(the only loyalist that could maybe do this) somehow produce a female Custode. The Custodes are much, much more expensive and difficult to produce than the Astartes and Cawl took 10k years to improve the Astartes by producing knock off organs the primarchs have. Not to mention that the Custodes would immediately kill Cawl if they got wind he was tinkering with their genes. It has to be that the Emperor always had female Custodes or it wouldn't make any sense. If you think about it, it'd be weirder if there weren't any female Custodes. Fabius Bile inherited the Emperor's gift of gene craft and used it to produce his New Men, which are Astartes-like humans, but they have male and females that can reproduce. Bile wants to replace mankind with his New Men. The fact that Bile wanted to do this means the Emperor probably had this very same idea. With female Custodes now in the lore, it's pointing toward the Emperor considering replacing mankind with Custodes-like people and giving base humans the Thunder Warrior treatment if the Webway Gate idea didn't work out.

I've been into warhammer for more than 20 years. I love this univers so much that I turned it into a job, busting my ass 60+ hours a week often sitting behind my desk painting minis until one or two A.M listening to warhammer audiobooks. After the burning of star wars, the witcher, the lord of the ring and video games, Warhammer was the LAST piece of media that I held dear. Safe to say, that a part of my heart died yesterday. Not that I care that much about Custodes having females mind you. But I know it's only the first step onto a steep stairway down to hell. The irony being that warhammer already had a f*cktone of badass women but it's NEVER enough.
"Not that I care that much about Custodes having females mind you. But I know it's only the first step onto a steep stairway down to hell." So very many boiled frogs will argue until the end of time that the latest incremental temperature bump is no big deal, and nothing weird is going on. Meanwhile? I learned to jump ship the SECOND I see a hand on the temperature dial years ago, and every time I've done it? I turned out to have made the right call. Every. Single. Time.
@@ephraimwinslow That's exactly what I was saying. Femstodes don't personally bother me that much but I know what's coming with it and THAT is what breaks my heart.
@@TicosMinis It should bother you. It's not that the Custodes are female that is the problem. It's the casual disregard for the established worldbuilding. It's never just one detail, it's usually a few at first, and then if they realize that nobody really minds, they keep doing it. But even if it were one detail, the question then becomes "why did this one detail need to be changed if it was inconsequential?" I've seen it happen for many reasons other than political, and it always devalues the setting. Usually, it's just laziness and the perception that "if we change these details people will like it more." I always find myself wondering when this has ever worked. If the Clone Troopers from Star Wars prequel trilogy were revealed to have female members, for example, do you think this would suddenly make more people interested in Star Wars? Literally never happens.
@@CrizzyEyes Again, that's EXACTLY what I say. The fact of femstodes as a thing doesn't bother me THAT MUCH ( bare in min dit still does to an extent), but what goes with it and what it means for the futur of warhammer pisses me off to no end. Read people !
Warhammer in incredibly inclusive. There is nothing stopping women from joining besides the fact that they aren't interested in the game. Anyone can play if they are from an affluent background. If GW really cares about inclusion they will lower prices and not look for easy ceremonial wins like making Custodes women! For the record the warhammer community accepted a trans god that devoured all the femboy elfs, we just don't want out lore changed on a whim to suit the politics of the day.

"For ten thousand years, the Adeptus Custodes stood guard over the God Emperor of Mankind, never wavering, always vigilant... and there's Suzy, she's been there all this time, we just didn't talk about here or any other one of them"
Here is a simple explination: Henry Cavel is making a 40K show he refuses to do anything that is not cannon, wants another female lead in the show he says its not cannon, they go over his head and offer a stupid amount of money to GW to make what they want cannon... its just one change to one faction no one will notice, and neow Henry has to go along.
Geedubs is going to have a massive fight on its hands, more so than ever before. 3D printers, STL files, recasters, torrenting codices and books. It was already happening, they've just given everyone another reason on top of all the other regular garbage retcons and nonsense GW has pulled over the years. The current writers didn't establish the lore and foundations of the 40k universe, so they don't care, it has no value to them, so they flat out lie on a whim to suit their agenda.
I have thousands and thousands of points already. I just torrent the codexes. 3d Print and proxy new stuff. I have no reason to ever give GW another cent outside of simply wanting to do so. They likely will never get a cent of my money for their work for the rest of my life :P

Apparently having the Sisters of Silence essentially being a part of the custodes, isn’t diverse enough.

The worst thing is, we already have super-cool female only factions. Like Sisters of Battle or Sisters of Silence, latter of which are literally the female equivalent of Custodes already. So now, we have Emperor's female only bodyguards and Emperor's male and female bodyguards.
Or will we get Brothers of Silence, in the name of equality, as well? As a man, I want my representation too.
Don't you know? "Diversity and inclusion" for the sake of "Equality" only goes one way in terms of narrative. The diverse opinions don't matter to be included and some are more equal than others.
It's pathetic.
Another bit of info to add to the argument is that the guard has everyone in it. Male, female, dogs, cats, you name it. The armies of the game and factions are already diverse
Because it's not about building new content it's about warping and destroying the content that exists

Sunlu resin is $17.99 a kilogram.
Chitubox is free.
Wahapedia has all the rules.
Do with this as you will.
even my mars 2 produces better quality models than GW with basic resin. My actual plastic imperials knights have literal layer lines, and the compromises they have to do to mold things like the decorations on custodes and the fancier space marines aren't present on 3d prints. the only downside is the underside of the model needs cleanup, but IMO its 1000x easier and faster to do than trimming every single mold line.
also if you are looking for models, GW is religious about taking down anything related to warhmmer, so you have to search for say 'golden space janitors' instead of custodes, or 'space bugs' instead of tyranids. (cults3d or yeggi)
the only thing you can't do with a 3d printed model is bring it to a gw store to play... but if you weight the base its impossible to tell if its real or not once painted...

Hell if it’s that important to you, you could always get female space marines/custodes off etsy.
Changing lore to fit a temporary ideology after almost 40 years is fking disgusting and we are losing yet another IP to this disgusting ideology.
Happens in a lot of situations, even things not regarding politics. The MMO FF14 has been trying to expand its audience for some time now by trying to grab people who don't like the multiplayer aspect of MMOs, and I think they're only just realizing that trying to tailor your product to people who don't like it is a bad idea.
That's a good point. Wanting to change the lore to allow female Space Marines means fundamentally that you *don't* like the lore.

@@For_the-Emperorit's really just the difference in how boys and girls think. Look back to the experiments they did on the differences of how each plays differently with toys. Boys play the character, girls put themselves into the toy and have situations they are experiencing or want to have personally. Duke and Flint they need to go stop Destro cause he's the bad guy and we have a understanding of what the bad guy would do and why he needs to be stopped. Toys for boys this is how we think. Girls put themselves into the toy or the characters so instead they would be having a picnic or some kind of party where Destro is the main character played by the girl who is just projecting what she feels into the doll/toy and the other figures are companions to the main character. So if you're daughter is upset, and you actually watch what she's doing with her toys and how's she's playing and what she's says you can get a good idea of what's bothering her.

A lot of people I heard have compared the Space Marines to the Sister Sororitas, and I could see it, but the disrespect towards the Sisters compared to the Space Marines (Bolter Bitches, anyone?) shows people still take them as a joke.
Also, just because they retcon some things, such as having Female Custodians, doesn't mean they have 'gone woke'. I swear, Woke is being used as a shield in some cases as a Mot and Bailey that people can hide the actual terrible people in the larger crowd. I'll hold my breath to see if there is some further woke-isms from GW, though I think the bigger problem from them is their pricing out their lower-income fans more than the wokeness, like how they are breaking Warcry by removing whole factions from Canon in Soulbound just so people are required to buy new armies to keep things legit in the rules for it. They completely removed one of the original Chambers, Bonesplitters and Beasts of Chaos as well as the entirety of the original Chaos Wastes armies! Why not get upset about that?

It extends from the coasts of spain all the way to Turkey where some dude is throwing a rock at a kurdish guy right now.
Europe is a continent. Not a bloody race. There are hundreds of ethnicity's. Each one having a vibrant beautiful history all its own. Filled with triumphs and tragedies unique to it.
The problem of this generation is that they don't know their own damn history. Instead of embracing a legacy that is uniquely theirs. They settle for this "European race" slop. Its a bloody shame.

Is exactly is the existence of women in a single faction stopping you from enjoying the tabletop game
The game and the lore are 2 separate things
You could love playing 40K and not read a single novel
You could love the novels and not ever play a single game of 40K
The only thing stopping you from enjoying the game is you
Even if you are a custodes player you don’t have to change anything about your models as that’s just how you enjoy your army which no one can tell you how to enjoy it, but if our playing 40K and someone else has put the time and effort to spend the outrages entry fee for this hobby and overcome the skill needed to paint said overpriced plastic and your gonna trash on them simply because they have female custodes than not only is that being a terrible sport, your just being a terrible person.
Me of the reasons I stuck in 40K was because even with my shitty necron paint jobs I was always told how great they looked even though I knew they were bad as they were simply happy I could enjoy the hobby with them
And by you being a bitch simply because how they want to enjoy the hobby dosent fit into your status quo you hurt the longevity of this amazing world that we all enjoy and if you can’t accept that then feel free to leave and sell your army as I’m sure someone else would appreciate buying it at a discount and having a fun time with toy soldiers

Bingo
Just because mostly men like warhammer doesn't mean it's exclusively for men. Anyone can like anything
But the faction in question was exclusively male. That is what they have a problem with.
But the point also applies to the game as a whole. They view 40k as a male thing, even if it’s not explicitly one. Therefore it needs more inclusivity.
Correct. We as Men aren’t allowed to have our own Space. All we want is to be left alone and enjoy OUR! Hobbies with the Bros.
@NoName...... This is absolutely correct. However, when you alter something to appeal to groups that aren't interested in your universe at the detriment of your own IP it is bad business. Anyone could have liked 40k as it was, it didn't need to be changed to attempt to appeal to people who never had any interest in the first place. Applying modern "sensibilities" to established fictional IPs is the height of folly. Especially because it is oh so transparent in what their intent is currently. They don't care about creating an authentic world that appeals to a wider audience. They intend to force retcon their own lore in a hamfisted attempt to appeal to untapped markets. It won't work, because it basically never has, it will piss off long term fans, not all but many, and they'll either backtrack or they'll be stubborn and ride it into oblivion. It is a shortsighted strategy that will result in long term decline.

Tbf, it would be wildly against the lore to have Cawl(the only loyalist that could maybe do this) somehow produce a female Custode. The Custodes are much, much more expensive and difficult to produce than the Astartes and Cawl took 10k years to improve the Astartes by producing knock off organs the primarchs have. Not to mention that the Custodes would immediately kill Cawl if they got wind he was tinkering with their genes.
It has to be that the Emperor always had female Custodes or it wouldn't make any sense.
If you think about it, it'd be weirder if there weren't any female Custodes. Fabius Bile inherited the Emperor's gift of gene craft and used it to produce his New Men, which are Astartes-like humans, but they have male and females that can reproduce. Bile wants to replace mankind with his New Men.
The fact that Bile wanted to do this means the Emperor probably had this very same idea.

If GW really cares about inclusion they will lower prices and not look for easy ceremonial wins like making Custodes women! For the record the warhammer community accepted a trans god that devoured all the femboy elfs, we just don't want out lore changed on a whim to suit the politics of the day.
Its driving me insane, I have nothing and one of the few things I can and do enjoy has been sacrificed on the altar of woke!
They stole my hobby, my enjoyment!
Same bro same ....
They can’t do that, they don’t have that power. Find your own circle of played that play the way the game was originally intended and gatekeep it. They can’t take anything from you unless you let them.
Pirate the codexes, buy a 3D printer, get colors from other companies.
They deserve nothing but contempt, brother.
Stay strong, enjoy your escapism in alternative ways. You are not alone!
@@mrdrybonestv exactly!!!, they can,t do ish...
@@TheGosgosh agree!
Ah... this sounds like a problem only The Black Templars can resolve. Make Sigusmund Great Again!
You're really spoiling us with all these videos Sargon
And i hope he learnt to back up these videos better than before the hiatus so we don't lose many of these gem of videos
My grandma told me that since the beginning of time Emperor was a black woman!
She was a Kang!
Her perception would probably be right though
They already have female faction, it's called tyrannids
I loled
Did a spit take and had to clean my monitor, thanks asshole.
....... wait you may be right haha
👍
Brilliant 😂
The 4 women who have heard of 40k are happy to have representation now.
One of them is in the comments of the video and is unhappy, so I sure hope those other 3 are doing some heavy lifting.
At least 3 of them are trannies anyways
Sisters of Silence and Adeptus Soraritas never existed, right?
Now? There's female inquisitors, female Imperial Guard regiments, the Sisters of Battle, female assassins, female commanders, female gods, and so on and so forth.
No, they aren’t, that’s the hilarious part! GW is burning themselves to the ground for mutilated, rainbow haired freaks *who don’t play the game.*
"For ten thousand years, the Adeptus Custodes stood guard over the God Emperor of Mankind, never wavering, always vigilant... and there's Suzy, she's been there all this time, we just didn't talk about here or any other one of them"
Sneaky Suzy
makes you wonder how effective Suzy was at defending the God Emperor to have never been mentioend the whole time.
The whole endgame is to erase real men and women by making them 100% the same.
Here is a simple explination: Henry Cavel is making a 40K show he refuses to do anything that is not cannon, wants another female lead in the show he says its not cannon, they go over his head and offer a stupid amount of money to GW to make what they want cannon... its just one change to one faction no one will notice, and neow Henry has to go along.
Geedubs is going to have a massive fight on its hands, more so than ever before. 3D printers, STL files, recasters, torrenting codices and books. It was already happening, they've just given everyone another reason on top of all the other regular garbage retcons and nonsense GW has pulled over the years. The current writers didn't establish the lore and foundations of the 40k universe, so they don't care, it has no value to them, so they flat out lie on a whim to suit their agenda.
I have thousands and thousands of points already. I just torrent the codexes. 3d Print and proxy new stuff.
I have no reason to ever give GW another cent outside of simply wanting to do so. They likely will never get a cent of my money for their work for the rest of my life :P
GW knows that, and they've been planning for that.
That's why they are going hard on Licensing for game rights again. You don't have to buy models. When Sega is giving a Game workshop a taste of their money train.
This, and good. Take to the high seas for anything you want of theirs.
Never give business to a corporation that despises you. (Wait, why are we here watching this on YT?)
@@TransRoofKorean because it costs youtube money when I watch with an ad blocker. Doesn't make them any
@@0x_hackerfren they still make money from creating a profile on you and selling it for advertising
what i'm really talking about is that we need to all collectively agree to break the monopoly this evil company has by watching & uploading elsewhere -- I know Lotus Eaters uploads on Rumble at least so Sargon probably does
And this is why any company going public is always a bad idea. Fuck shareholders.
Yup. Who manages the managers?
Now I know why Rick Priestly left and created Warlord Games.
left or was forced out by other prog neckbeards
None of the originals are there anymore. Its full of corporate trash
Lmao he left in 2009 you bozo.
@@nicholasszabo5954 corpo leftist bullshit began to seep its way in during the mid 2000's, the fact we see it now just means its gotten big enough to be visible ESG was made around the same time as him leaving, if not before
Priestley is definitely based.
The craziest thing about this is that there were already female Inquisitors, Commissars (and female warriors of other species, most famously the Eldar and Dark Eldar)
Not to mention the prestigious Sisters of Battle. Who can never be Men.
There were already women warriors in 40K and that wasn't good enough.
'Warhammer is for everyone. NOW GET THE FUCK OUT!" is quite the oxymoron.
- Have a niche hobby space with niche members
- A wild activist appears!
- "This space is for everyone BUT the original members, gtfo!"
- GW, company that relies on the actual hobby member's money: "Sounds reasonable, get lost, paying customers!"
Futurama was right, this really is the Stupid Ages.
@@entropybear5847Yeah, women being included totally excludes you doesn’t it?
@@seizedmeansofproduction4739 Cute, you don't play warhammer. I am sure you will buy the minis and support GW in place of us.
@@alanrichardson9955 "we're kicking yu out of the hobby and it's your choice that we're doing it." Ok abuser.
It never was for everyone, but for anyone that could afford their insanely expensive miniatures.
I've never particularly wished to "see myself" in anything.
I dont even wish to see anything real in anything, including me. Adding in real things just dilutes quality in my opinion.
Homie hates mirrors
@@knightacediaMan you must hate Warhammer because it’s a satire on religious extremism and fascism right?
@@seizedmeansofproduction4739
Yes. As a member of the vampire community, mirrors are quite bigoted. Why are you so anthrophobic?!
That's generally because representation is a female trait. That's why girls play's with Dolls at a young age. Because in play they imagine themselves as the mother
“I was there the day GW slew Warhammer: 40,000.”
The treasonous deceit of it all
release of space wolves?
*slew.
@@shawkorror Thanks
You could see this coming when HC said that his favorite faction was the custodes.....Johnny Cash was right. 'I hear a train a coming'.....
Well the regular 40k fans already hate GW guts for years...now they give them A reason to hate them harder.
F GW, JOIN THE RED CORSAIR
That time was over 10 years ago.
We literally despise GW for many many many many many many valid and justified reasons, this just draws a line in the sand that many of us can’t cross.
Hey, if you wanna join us you gotta abide by our strict codes of conduct. And the first rule is you must be a racist. Gimme a o/.
If a company like that has survived, its customers didn't hate it enough.
@@FormerGovernmentHuman How is the line in the sand for you. The literal garbage price rises and actual shitty decisions you tolerate but a lore change is where you draw the line
