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.

the eligibility for the gene-seed extends to those who have the correct genetic make-up, which can include women.

Where is it stated in prior editions that females were ever chosen? Just a question.

Also, how is it that the OP "can't play"? What's the impassable barrier? Did all the "Alien: Isolation" male players have to hack the game to be able to play it? Just a few more questions.

There is a pretty good explanation why Space Marines are only male because It has to do with the Gene-Seed Genome. Women are NOT Compactible to the Gene-Seed it will outright reject them. Men on the other hand the Gene-Seed was tailored only for them.

And if you want a female character have Saber add in the Adeptas Sororitas, the Sisters of Battle they are the female equilvalent to the Adeptus Astartes.

And this is written by an author Rick Priestley. He wrote a article in White Dwarf 98 called "The Origins of the Legiones Astartes".

The article begins on page 12, but the exact line is on page 16.

"These considerations mean that only a small proportion of people can become Space Marines. They must be male because zygotes are keyed to male hormones and tissue types, hence the need for tissue compatibility tests and psychological screening."

So sorry to burst your little mind bubble but making a female adeptus astartes is Impossible. As the Gene-Seed is not tailored for them. Also do some research into Warhammer 40k Lore if you want help educating yourself to be more smarter :)

How about adding maybe an extra three genders, instead of just the one gender currently in the game.

Why would we do that when the current gender is already better at everything? What's the point of adding weaker, inferior genders in the game? We have them already as NPC's lmao.

Sisters of Battle

The closest you will get to a Adeptus Astartes. Those women are able to put the fear into them as well.

They are also FIERCELY loyal to the Emperor

There's alot of other genders that can be used also, don't forget that.

White dwarf 98 was published almost 40 years ago, in 1988. A lot of things have changed since then-Cadia has fallen, the Tau have become a faction. Hell, the idea of the Primarchs, let alone the Primarchs themselves, wouldn't be introduced until around 1993! While you're not wrong in that there is certainly a reason for there being only male space marines, your evidence is almost certainly outdated.

You know, I've always wondered how fish can fall for such obvious bait. I mean, it's literally a worm on a giant, obvious, barbed hook! How can you get caught?

Now I know. The idea of catching a worm to fill your belly outweighs the very obvious danger of the sharp object it's attached to.

Space marines are all male , i is part of the lore that has been around for over 40 years. They are whole armies that are just woman. They are called he Sisters of silence. Strange hat we do not here you feminists saying that the sisters should have men too.

[Cryptid]

Well you definitely speak for yourself. But im a girl and I love god of war and warhammer and soulsbornering and tons of other "manly" games. Instead of looking for shreds of yourself in every game you play, look for cool characters and interesting stories. Or just keep playing concord
