We still gon' continue gender debate on this one?

I believe the OP thinks this is somehow an own against the people asking for fem marines without realizing that orks aren't male, so it's an apples to oranges to comparison.

Or apples to mushoom.

Pretty sure Necron are binary. Literally!

I don't think so? They weren't exactly programmed. More their mind was directly transferred into the robotic body via the soul forges in a process that split their soul from their consciousness whilst splitting it from their body

I have always found it interesting that well everyone pretends they want [Redacted] Space Marines no one ever gives credit to or brings up the fact that this franchise has had a masculine appearing but gender-less race that reproduces by fighting for decades.

>genderless
>boys

I think they canonically see themselves as nonbinary, I remember an Ork questioning some Space Marines about why they called Gazghull "he" when Orks don't have a gender. Which is actually kinda fun, I like seeing non-binary species use typically gendered language in a non-gendered way

EDIT: Here we go
"But, before the prisoner’s account could continue, the Deathwatch veteran had found one more bone to pick.

‘Ghazghkull is a he,’ he grumbled, wagging a finger at Biter and receiving an uncertain grunt in reply. ‘You keep saying they,’ Hendriksen clarified, ‘but Ghazghkull is a he.’

‘But… they… he is not a man?’ said Biter, their brow-ridge creased in ¬bafflement. Falx cut in then, before another messy debate could ensue.

‘We’ve been through this, Orm. Orks have no… reproductive anatomy, and consequently no understanding of sex or gender.’

‘Some of us understand sexangender,’ interrupted Biter, keen as ever to demonstrate their unusual expertise in humans. ‘I find it all… quite funny.’

‘Silence, ork,’ Falx snapped, impatient to get back on track. ‘From now on, Ghazghkull is a he, whether it makes sense or not.’"

Female Orks would require Mechanicus-grade eye bleach ngl

What?!?! There are no Female Mushrooms??? LOLZ No surprise the same activists are here... Wonder how many hours they have actually played or read WH40k...? Especially without any insight to WH40k.

"Silence, Ork" could be a good asnwer to all those stupid threads

It's established in the books that they have no gender.

They call each other boyz in the same way we use "dude" to apply to both men and women who are our friends.

But that is exactly what gender is - social construct.

I'm aware, and they don't have that that social construct.

Dude and bro are examples of words that were gendered and then become non-gendered. We now use them for both genders as terms of endearment. Hell, in Old English, man is gender neutral. It actually got gendered after being originally non-gendered.

That's how Orks use boyz.

Also, keep in mind that they don't say "boys", they say a word in Low Gothic that is translated into English for our reading. No one in WH speaks English.

High Gothic sounds more like Latin in universe, which means Low Gothic probably sounds like Vulgar Latin.

So Orks are speaking something akin to Vulgar Latin and whatever word they use is being translated into "boyz" so that we can read it since Low Gothic isn't real.

Source on "boys" being non-gendered?

Orks are asexual and reproduce via spores. Not kidding.
