Entitled, Immature, Sexist Hypocrites Are (Still?) Upset About Decades-Old Lore

Oh no, sex-obsessed, mentally ill, entitled narcissists that pretend to care about and participate in various hobbies solely for attention are upset because a book features a line of pre-existing information that they would have long since known about had they had any genuine interest in the hobby!

If you actually play Warhammer 40,000, then you know about the Space Marine faction: a bunch of genetically modified supermen clad in power armor, known for brandishing chainswords and guns that by default fire what are essentially miniature rockets, charged with the defense of mankind (at least, the ones that weren't corrupted by the Ruinous Powers).

Only the best of the best are chosen to potentially become a Space Marine; if a world produces good results, apparently Chapters like to stick with it, and will even monitor it for "genetic purity" in order to keep the numbers up. Assuming a recruit survives whatever tests and trials a given Chapter might impose (not likely), they then have to survive genetic modification, and organ and bionic implantation (also not likely).

While the gene-seed and organs are stated to be only compatible with male hormones and genetics (understandable, given that they were cultivated from the Emperor's genetically-engineered sons), even if they could potentially work on women, why bother? Unless absolutely necessary, why would you want to go through a lengthy, risky process, only to end up with an ultimately inferior (and uglier) result?

You obviously wouldn't, but mentally ill sex-pest pronouners don't care about trivial things such as logic or even common sense. Because they have a not-so-secret fetish, are sexist, need attention and/or emotional validation, and/or just want the dopamine rush of pressuring a company into complying and invariably making their content worse.

They at least pretend to want female Space Marines (and not, say, male Sisters of Battle), and are more than willing to outright ignore the aforementioned all female faction that are already very similar to Space Marines, and project their bigotry, intolerance, and ignorance onto everyone that dares point out how stupid and wrong they are.

Real 40k fans know that there are numerous things that Imperium of Man has lost or forgotten, or that for some reason are unable to figure out, so declaring that Cawl can and should be able to do whatever retarded posers want--solely in service to their post-modern snowflake sensibilities, of course--is absurd. More so given that there is absolutely no need and, again, the end result would be vastly inferior.

You already have the ability to choose: you can play Sisters of Battle, or a faction that has women in it, or play something else. Or buy third party fem-marines. While there's an in-game reason why you can't live out your macrophilia fetish, fantasizing about "official" muscle mommy marines stomping on your balls or whatever, there are plenty of solutions which unfortunately hinge on you not being an entitled retard.

And in case you think I'm kidding:

Would you be surprised that RagnarokAngel (or is it Sword?) is a pronouning pretender? He's not the only one of course:

Of course a pretender is envious of women. Not even real women, but plastic minis. Why do these guys hate art so much? Assuming he's not talking stats, Sisters of Battle have penitent engines/mortifiers, mostly naked chicks wielding two-handed chainswords, a missile-launching tank organ, their tanks have more bling (and I like them more than the hovering primaris rehashes), and they have the Triumph of Saint Katherine.

Junith Eruita also looks cool, but we run Argent Shroud instead of Martyred Lady. I suppose I could paint her up as an Argent Shroud and use her, anyway: it's not like the wife or kids would care (assuming they know she's Order-specific in the first place).

I'm curious: why not just say that your marines are women? You already play pretend with your gender, so why not go the extra meter with your minis? Maybe you can win a few games, accusing anyone that disagrees with your delusions of being whatever you consider to be a transphobe? Might be a necessary handicap, especially if just under half your army ends up attempting to cancel themselves before the game starts.

"You can." 

Hear that Games Workshop? Matt the Manlet will graciously give you the go ahead, so long as Space Marines aren't the "literal protagonist faction". Not that I believe him--he'd invent some other reason to pretend to be offended, anything to score some Likes--but they're only the protagonist faction (as much as a faction can be the protagonist in 40k) if you ignore, at the least, imperial guard and Sisters of Battle.

There you have an entire female faction, as well as a mixed group. Everyone wins. Well, everyone that's not a sexist loser like Matt the Manlet, desperate for women to acknowledge his uninspired white-knightery.

Pronouner and a self-proclaimed infiltrator. Two reasons to dismiss his unoriginal opinions that he plagiarized from someone else.

"Lots of people" still means a small enough minority that Games Workshop doesn't care. But, if these sex-obsessed weirdos just make their own crap? Then non-issue resolved, yeah?

No, of course not. Because it's not about being happy. It's about control, and pressuring a company into bending the knee. Of course that still won't make them happy. There's always something else to pretend to be upset about. Hopefully Games Workshop isn't dumb enough to fall for the grift (seriously, just ignore the whiners and they'll invariably get distracted by some other triviality).

I like how he says that, as if that's some sort of achievement. As if that's not the norm. As if basement-dwelling losers don't accomplish such banal endeavors on a routine basis. Interesting but not surprising that he leaves out actually playing the game. Pile of shame? Pffft, he's a human pile of shame.

Mr. Woodcock is yet another immature, entitled retard, defining stagnating as not doing specifically what he wants, when he wants. I'm still waiting on an updated imperial guard codex, as well as something for World Eaters/Chaos Daemons. In the meantime, instead of whining about how GW is "stagnating" I'll just play another army. Or something else entirely. I can wait. No biggie.

Ed just doesn't want an all-male faction. If Space Marines we're also entirely female? If all factions were either entirely female or mixed? He'd have no problem...unless of course they dared to make the ratio favor men in any capacity, but I think he'd still piss and moan if it was perfectly even. 

If Games Workshop suddenly rewrote the lore overnight to say that Space Marines are now all women, with no explanation? He'd celebrate the change. He might even congratulate Games Workshop on being "inclusive" (by excluding men, of course), though he'd probably still chide them for not doing so sooner, or from the start. Remember: it's not about being happy, but control, and a grossly misplaced misconception of righteousness.

It's because he's a sexist, but not necessarily against men. I think he's one of "those guys" that despises women, and is echoing crap others have said in hopes that a girl will touch his dick. Why? His claims that GW is only doing what they're doing to pander to "manboys who don't like women". You know, ignoring all the men that play Sisters of Battle, or who don't care about female imperial guard and eldar. Or even the women that like the game the way it is.

Nah, Games Workshop is only staying the course to pander to all those guys who hate women (which, amusingly enough, always ends up being SJWs). Yep, that's it. Really strange that they'd go through all that trouble to add new Sisters of Battle units, update the codex, and even add new female eldar guardians and autarch, as well as an upcoming imperial guard hero.

You know, for all those men that hate women.

And so I think Ed is projecting his misogyny, and like so many predators and opportunists, is hoping to deflect from it all by embarking on this dork crusade. Gatekeep your hobby, otherwise these mentally ill sex pest posers will infiltrate (seriously, at least two of the disingenuous dumbshits state that they are infiltrators), take over and ultimately ruin it before moving on to something else. In many ways they are similar to but worse than tyranids (and also somehow more hideous).

I want to close by showing off most of the armies of my oldest daughter and wife. I'd wager that my daughter has been playing Dawn of War longer than most of the people whining about no "fem marines" have even been aware of Warhammer 40,000. She's played all of the factions in the game, and her choice for Christmas several years ago was Space Marines.

Yeah, she was aware of Sisters of Battle (played them plenty on the PC, plus I showed her all of the available armies), but this is what she deliberately chose of her own volition. She didn't care about them being all men, didn't even mention it, which means that despite being a pre-teen she's still more mature and confident than the alleged adults getting triggered over men getting their own faction.

Melissa also went with an army that, at the time, was pretty much all dudes as well, though I picked up the Eldritch Omens box and new guardians, so there are some tits in the mix (also a third party avatar, but that's because at the time only the classic one was available and it looked dumb). She also didn't care about the lack of boobies, because she's also not an emotionally stunted retard trapped in an adult's body.

We have most of the factions, and currently Sisters of Battle is the one played the least. Not sure why: I've had good results with them, but when my daughter wants to play? She prefers her Space Marines, Orks, and even Necrons. Melissa really likes her Eldar, but also likes how badass the Space Marines are. At no point do any of them piss and moan about sex or representation.

Probably because they know that it's just a game, and there's really no way you can even begin to "see yourself" on a war torn battlefield in the 41st Millennium. Not that that's what the game or setting is about.
