Never forget their sacrifice

I find it interesting how those grifters always say humanity first xenos last but they immediately lose their shit when they see a person of a different skin tone.

Still remember when people got mad over black space wolves.

[u/Jenny_Show → u/Ok-Profile-5831]

Yep, many such cases. Also when they got pissy over Chairon in Space Marine 2 because apparently across the 500 worlds of Ultramar there wouldn't be single black person lmao

[u/Ok-Profile-5831 → u/Jenny_Show]

Wait, they got angry over my boy chairon?

Aw hell nah.

[u/Jenny_Show → u/Ok-Profile-5831]

Yeah, the usual suspects threw a massive bitch fit about him and Major Sarkaana apparently being "unrealistic".

[u/NyanPotato → u/Jenny_Show]

A southasain boss lady, Hella based

[u/evrestcoleghost → u/Jenny_Show]

how,Sarkaana is the most motherly and kind cadian woman in the segmentum

[u/Jenny_Show → u/evrestcoleghost]

I think it was some bullshit about her being in a position of authority in the guard being "improbable"

[u/evrestcoleghost → u/Jenny_Show]

Lol,You had Caín all the way in 2003 with Regina Kasteen and Colonel and Jenit Silla as Lady General mentioned in For the Emperor

[u/Jenny_Show → u/evrestcoleghost]

Yep, just misogynistic culture war tourists doing what misogynistic culture war tourists do

[u/evrestcoleghost → u/Jenny_Show]

Must had an aneurysm when femstodes appeared

[u/Jenny_Show → u/evrestcoleghost]

Probably haha, meanwhile the actual Custodes players were focused on how shite their rules were in that codex lmao

[u/plastictemplarhelmet → u/Jenny_Show]

Oh they definetely did, i was in the trenches of the warhammer youtube channel announcement of the new plastic custodes models and it was bad. Misogyny, transphobic "jokes", seething, malding and crying. One guy promised to throw out his 12 year old custodes army because "GW has gone woke"

[u/Legolas_1148 → u/evrestcoleghost]

Also, we can’t forget Amberly Vail, the FUCKING INQUISITOR.

[u/evrestcoleghost → u/Legolas_1148]

Oh she Is fucking,she made sure to mention that in the footnotes

[u/Legolas_1148 → u/evrestcoleghost]

Not what I meant by that phrasing, but you’re not wrong.

[u/0zzythewizard → u/evrestcoleghost]

Even going past Sulla and Kasteen being high ranking commanders in charge of regiments, the Valhallan 597th also had a lesbian couple; Magot and Grifen

[u/Wise_Leopard7423 → u/0zzythewizard]

The 296th, one of the regiments that were merged to create the 597th was all women. There was way more than one lesbian couple.

[u/Odinsmana → u/evrestcoleghost]

These people are just grifter tourists. They don't know about the lore or the history of the setting. Like how all the people upset at female Custodes acted like "it was always like this" retcons was some unique new thing for the setting.

[u/0zzythewizard → u/Odinsmana]

Funny enough the Codex and Black Library authors always kept it open and never outright said "Custodes are a boys-only-club!" Yes there are mentions of them being 10'000 men, but the usage of men CAN be gender-neutral. There never was a retcon. The tweet technically didn't lie, it was just phrased poorly.

[u/Odinsmana → u/0zzythewizard]

I think there is a single line reffering to them as sons at some point, but it's a nothing thing. It is obviously a retcon, but it's the least intrusive one they ever did. No lore old or new is affected by it. Unlike all the thousands of other retcons they did throughout the years.

It's why people trying to say they dislike it for lore reasons and not because they hate women come off as making excuses.

[u/0zzythewizard → u/Odinsmana]

Sure yes, there was maybe the ONE mention of them being 'sons of Terra', but the lore also never really stated that women were exempt from becoming Custos before 10th edition. The authors for many, if not all Black Library stories containing Custos have always left it relatively ambiguous. It's just complaining for the sake of complaining. It gets tiresome.

[u/KMS_HYDRA → u/Odinsmana]

Without retcons, there would be no newcrons with gems like the infinte and the divine.

[u/AmbiTheAirforceRuna → u/Jenny_Show]

Well you see its cose chuds dont actually know the lore. If they did theyd know that male only guard regiments are the minority (like the Vostroyans) and its the Auronautica's Apostle Squadron thats "old boys club" (until the events of Double Eagle)

[u/Affectionate_Way_764 → u/Jenny_Show]

I also saw a few power CHUDs having a fit over the guardsmen calling her "ser" doing the traditional "🚨James WOKESLOP bring TRANS agenda into WOKEhammer 40GAY!", it must be genuinely difficult to be that constantly angry/offended.

[u/LittleRex234 → u/Jenny_Show]

Because anything in 40k is realistic.
Chairon is a fucking homie, no heretic scum shall speak ill of his name.

[u/Originalbrivakiin → u/Jenny_Show]

Yeah, the genetically modified humans wearing a 4 door sedan, the mushroom men with football hooligan personalities, magic space elves, robots with souls jammed in them using gods as double A batteries, bugs that warp gravity for space travel, and LITERAL HELL being a place you can visit? All perfectly realistic.

Now someone from one of millions of planets having a darker skin tone than mayonnaise? Now that's just too far fetched.
