(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 :))))

"There are people who have been stomped on for centuries"
Even assuming this is true, what the hell does it have to do with a video game? Stop trying to infect everybody's escapism with your politics. Leave us in peace.

I'm pretty sure every playable character is of a different ethnicity in the campaign, how the hell is the developers racist & anti-diversity? Not everyone wants to see irl political statements in their fantasy games. if you want to play a game that has more diversity play Baldurs Gate, thats a good game and I'm sure it'll have whaterver you're looking for. Not every game needs to tick off the diversity check-list to be a good game. Don't judge the devs for not having ticked your diversity list.

B: lore (lgbtq doesnt exist in WH40k)

I mean, gay people absolutely exist in the lore of WH40K, it's in the books.

The thing is, and here's the kicker: No one cares. It doesn't matter, it's not outlawed, it's not elevated, it's not a matter of conversation; because nobody gives a ♥♥♥♥.

True equality: apathetic indifference.

to give you the short answer, no because A: you play as an ultramarine not a space wolf and B: lore (lgbtq doesnt exist in WH40k)


long answer: chapters have attempted recruiting females, and none have survived the operation to become a space marine but one. a space wolf, though she still died on her first mission because of total organ failure. women Physically cannot handle the transformation hence is why the sisters of battle were formed.

That is not why the sisters of battle were formed. They were formed because the church is not allowed to have an army of men, so when one of the higher ups found a colony of zealot women he turned them into his own personal army. Which they then killed him when they found out he had been lying to them about several things, but they stayed the military arm of the church.

There are no such things as female spacemarines. Please find yourself a more relevant cause to beat your drum to.

get over it lil bro

Lets get this straight. your basically calling Warhammer 40k fans Sexist because because you can play a female Space Marine? This game is based of a Book series that explains why. In the lore of Warhammer 40k the GeneSires are male. the Space Marines are male. It was to do with the augmentations and genetic code of the people they are getting there augmentation from . THY HAVE WHOLE FACTION OF WOMEN WHO ARE NUNS WITH GUNS. Before you ♥♥♥♥ on a game for showing off a small part of the whole universe read a couple books please. Also there are no female Custodes to my knowledge but there is a similar group call the Sisters of Silence. I am all for female representation and LGTBQ. I Myself am Gay, But please recognize this is a Dystopian Dark SCi-Fi Fantasy. It's not gonna have joy . happiness or equal rights. the Average Human In this series dies before the age of 10. This is not a series you find on TV where they add representation for the sake of drama. this is a series where no one has time to fall in love cause there world is being eaten by demons.

There are tons of gay games out right now. Just go play those instead of ruining good franchises?

In a way that is bad, I might add. You had the Death Watch at the beginning, why not stick with it, if you want a diverse cast? Would have suited perfectly. But no! So stupid ... Moving on ...

Nah, wasn't done in a bad way while sticking with the Deathwatch would have been better I agree, the Ultramarines do recruit from across the Ultramar realm and have been fairly famously diverse.

I know that, It feels forced nevertheless. Deathwatch would have suited far better.

If you put as much effort as you did into pretending to care about this, you could have at one point in your life been more successful than Elon Musk, but instead you choose to do this.
