(NOT BAIT) You shouldn't play the game until they add female space marines, heres why

[Sacred Geometry]

Before you lose it and call me "woke," listen up. There are people who have been stomped on for centuries, and we're finally at a point where we can start to make things right. How can you sit there and play a game made by devs who are openly sexist, while also refusing to add even a shred of diversity? What's the big deal with having a single marine who's intersex, lgbtq or female (they did it for custodes) in the game? Just one!

One character! They could be on screen for five seconds, and it wouldn't hurt you at all. But it would mean the world to someone who finally sees themselves represented. And who’s really the snowflake if that idea gets under your skin? They don't even need to be the main character! It blows my mind that anyone would back a game that's deliberately pandering to right-wing values. Do you even know what you're supporting, or did some World of Warcraft YouTuber just tell you to buy it?

By playing this game, you're choosing to marginalize people who deserve better. That's the point. I get that some will read this and say they don’t care, but maybe, just maybe, try putting yourself in someone else’s shoes for once. All it takes is a little empathy. You don’t have to agree with them, but recognize that representation helps people feel less alone. It's sad that you're actively standing against that.

Edit: Just because you use a jester award, doesn't mean your right. Don't bother trying to rile me up because its not a good look.

Edit 2: people have been very offensive towards me and that makes me sad; however - knowing that we are winning makes all the difference :)

Edit 3: FREE PALESTINE!!!

Edit 4: Proud to represent LGBT for Palestine; all minorities will be represented when games workshop reacts to the pushback :))))

brotha you want them to rewrite the entire lore so you can play as a female space marine?

The current lore is poorly designed and very sexist. If it being rewritten improves things; nothing of value was lost.

Haha, so the woke clown farmer wants more clowns to become clown emperor? The day we have women space marines is they day space marines become lame woke ♥♥♥♥.

Also why would they be lgbtbbq? the concept of congress is not even considered by them, by design of the Emperor.

you guys should reward me instead

Do you get paid for all of these interactions? Nice bait, I think.

[Dwarflover]

lol what an absolute loser 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Has bro read the lore? “[space marine applicants] must be male because the gene-seed zygotes are keyed to male hormones and genetic structure.” ITS RIGHT THERE IN THE LORE MARK. Also if you want female space marines look at the sisters of battle and silence (They arn't marines but can be broken as hell)

[Ink1413]

Its funny because this is about 38 thousand years in the future where if you took about 30 mins to watch a warhammer video, HUMANITY HAS FALLEN AND NOW MUCH DIFFERENT. Thats what happens if you lose are your ♥♥♥♥.

Haven't yet bought the game. And I don't intend to, at least for the foreseeable future. I just came here to see if this thread was real. And it is a gemerald tier thread, better than I expect. No way this isn't trolling. This is too good to be true. This is like picture perfect of the 4chan "soyjak" meme. It has to be a troll, and an EXCELLENT one at that. Every reply is like a chefs kiss. From what i hear the game is pretty mid, but this? *muah* Exquisite.

Have your crown, King, you've earned it hundredfold. 👑

Good Lord the bait is real, this person is FARMING jesters.

Unless you really do believe this drivel, in which case, please find Jesus and try to work through this disgusting amount of hate you seem to be conjuring and directing towards others. Nothing is going to change the people who love 40k from trying to gatekeep their beloved franchise from outsiders attempting to ruin it, as has been done in Star Wars (look at the Acolyte, or anything post-Disney), or LoTR (Rings of Power), or Star Trek (Picard, Lower Decks, etc.), or the entire Comics industry here in America.

We don't want modern day politics in our dystopian grimdark nightmare-fuel fantasy setting. It would ruin it, and make it for no one. Nobody wants female space marines or femstodes, we want the female characters like Amberly Veil or Miriya or Alizabeth Bequin to shine on their own. Equals in their own storytelling, not just in who can bench-press more.

But then again, it always was just the superficial stuff that gets targeted by people who simply want to infiltrate and sabotage the enjoyment of others simply out of spite due to forcing themselves to be outsiders. We'd let you into the hobby if you played by the rules like everyone else has agreed to do. But here you are, starting off with demands and ultimatums? No we will simply and kindly show you the door, you don't need to be a part of our happiness if the only thing you wish to do is take it away.

speaking of how well LGBTQIAP+ sells, how's Concord doing? Big burly women in power armor right there, all ready to play, right?

Feel not represented, don't play it.

ITS A GOOD THING TO HAVE IT REVOLVE AROUND MINORITIES, WE WILL BE PRESSURING GAMES WORKSHOP TO REWRITE THE SEXIST SPACE WOLVES & ULTRAMARINES INTO WOMEN/LGBT-BASED CHAPTERS

You would be better off creating a game system of your own that parallels the WH40k verse than trying to bully GW (and it is bullying) into your demands. GW would rather forego your increase to their sales than lose the 10x amount of sales from mainstream players. GW are in it for the money and nothing else; inclusiveness won't make them more money.

The trouble is OP, "just add this it wont hurt" is never enough. Just look at modern movies, James Bond, Marvel, Indian Jones, Dr Who and Star wars all added diversity to gain access to modern audience. All these franchises are dead or mostly dead, the modern audience which does not exist, Concord and Dustborn has proven that point.

I would ask you OP why cant we have a game without "the Message" as it seems that it makes money for the developers as Black Myth Wukong has proved.

And if you want a shooter go play Concord!!!

I would argue that the men in civilizations have been stepped on and deprived as they have been treat as disposable. ie conscription of men and sending them to war.

Wow, a perfect jester bait harvest. A hell of a lot of idiots on this forum.
