Us girls are being gatekeeped from space marine and 40k

[Little Girl]

I can't even play this game with my boyfriend and i think alot of girls will feel the same, let me explain and hear me out,

Aside from the obvious dude bro, macho, frat party culture that wouldn't be very inclusive to us girls, there's just no female character to pick AT ALL.. nada, zilch..

When we play games together as a couple such as MMO,S or CRPG,S which are of course the perfect games to play as a couple, we like to roleplay as an extension of our real relationship in WoW for example, My boyfriend is a male human and i'm a female human, we can try to look like ourselves and even go on dates in that world at some tavern or festival ect, you get immersed in the world, this is how alot of couples like to play together, Sometimes for fun we can be tauren cow and bull couple haha, similar is baulders gate 3 there's so much options for couples to play, In overwatch i like to play merccy and heal my boyfriend playing Reinheardt, yes i'm a traditional feminie girl

I'm not suggesting space marine be like that of course but even in Gears 5 (which is the same game) I could play as a girl with my boyfriend it was great, so my question is why can't we do it in 40k space marines 2? There's literally no reason why they can't add a female space marine for us girls to play, I don't want to play as a big, burly, and troupey men as that does not appeal to a female audience, id like to play as something cute and vicious, or a badass girl boss ect
If females are not allowed in the game i can only put that down to gatekeeping and tbh it's a surprise in 2024, you don't have to just appeal to a sweaty nerd or gym guy, the game would sell much more to a broader audience too.

Just let us girls in, I promise we won't bite
Edit: I did see some local warhammer tabletop recently and i think it looked fun and enjoyable, so it's not true that no girls like warhammer tabletop as obviously we play dnd ect.

Those who believed OP is a real girl or at least ain’t baiting for awards got trolled hard by a servant of Tzeentch lmao

Guess they never played The first Space marine, lots of lore reasons for the MC being who he is. Go play metroid or something if you need a strong female lead, that game series is amazing. I bet you were mad with Black Myth Wukong too cause you are a human and the main is a monkey eh?

Selfish self inserted political correctness and inclusivity is everything wrong with every established IP. these days.

There no reason you CANNOT play, you just don't want too, that is fine., I don't want to play the sims either. its not the game for me.. this is clearly not the game for you..

Before you accuse me is MysOGeny or some default insulting troupe. I am a woman also. Leave 40k alone. There is a place for kickass women in the grimdark, but none within the ranks of the ADEPTUS ASTARTES.

Alot of these spam threads in pretty much every popular steam game. Valve just needs to start removing them instead of accepting political bot spam.

Sisters of battle... There is your lore

A disingenuous argument and you damn well know it.. Adepta Soritas have no men, ADEPTUS ASTARTES have no women.. LORE !


This is Space Marines 2 not Sisters of Battle 2. it is lore accurate to not have woman as Space marines.

No one is gatekeeping you, you are invading a community and trying to force it to change to fit your demands.

[Leptic]

Then dont play the game? There are ♥♥♥♥ loads of game that fits your criteria and horse loads of game with in depth character customization. This is just one of the few that dont, its not by choice…theyre literally following the canonical aspect of warhammer 40k lol.

[Leptic]

There is no female "space marines", there are sisters of battles and others but theyre not "space marines"

A better question would be if you could play as a one of the sister of battle units? I dont know, probably not. But its a game focused on giving the fans WHAT THEY WANT as well as RESPECTING the WH40k universe. There. Are. No. Female. Space. Marines.

Never has been.

[The Turtle]

No you are not being gatekept.
You can play as a Space Marine.
What do you expect in a game literally called "Space Marine"?
Whining like a child is pointless and if you want to play as a female character push to have them make a game called Warhammer 40k: Adeptas Sororitas, which I am all for by the way.

[Tilas]

There is a reason why there are no females taken to the mutation process. Ones like you.

To everyone that has given OP a jester, I hope you realise that you are encouraging more of this type of threads.

Obviously, this is bait and low quality bait at that. The way you stop the bait is to give it zero jesters or any other awards.

Exactly, dunno why so many people fall for it by the masses. Its a little sad to be honest.

Sadly its a Space Marine game and not a wh40k game. There's lots of badass female characters throughout the wh40k universe. This isn't a problem of wh40k gate keeping but the direction of the game studio and story therein.

If they'd choose to include female characters they can easily introduce the sisters of battle into the multiplayer PvE as a new class character or the likes.
