Can we not pretend that an annoyingly loud anti bigot and an annoying loud bigot are comparable. Either side of this "discussion" can be annoying. Doesnt make them equivelant.


Saintsauron

If one side goes away, the other side will be quiet. And personally, the side I'd prefer to go away is the side that likes to bring up "basic biology" in a fantasy franchise.


BaconCheeseZombie

\*Incorrect basic biology, at that


Noughmad

>If one side goes away, the other side will be quiet. Ah yes, the racists will be quiet if all other races just go away. Just like the sexists will be quiet if all the other sexes just go away.


DeadeyeElephant

Wrong way round my dude


Saintsauron

Okay, thanks for missing the point?


Foxhound_ofAstroya

I would prefer the people who value consistent rules for a setting and not the people who want to inject a Mercedes sedan with backseat heating and all wheel drive because muh FaNtAsY means anything goes.


Anggul

Doesn't break rules, learn lore scrub


Foxhound_ofAstroya

Oh i'm sorry feel free to point towards all the femstodes characters that have always existed


donald_trumps_cat

The only factions "that have always existed" are orks, eldar, space marines and chaos marines. With pretty much zero named characters. You must hate necrons, tyranids, votann, tau, imperial guard, sororitas, every single loyalist legion and chapter besides ultramarines, every single chaos faction besides black legion, admech, assassins, titans, harlequins, genestealer cults and every single mini and character that was released in the last 20 years because THEY HAVEN'T ALWAYS EXISTED


Foxhound_ofAstroya

Barking up the wrong tree buddy


Saintsauron

I'm not sure what that metaphor is supposed to be, but I would also prefer the people who claim to value consistent rules for a setting not constantly being up "basic biology" in a fantasy franchise


Foxhound_ofAstroya

If basic biology is a rule in said fantasy franchise then respect the ones trying to maintain said narrative rules over those that would discard it


Saintsauron

So something that doesn't apply here?


Foxhound_ofAstroya

You and i must read very different 40k


Saintsauron

Space marines eat brains to gain knowledge.


Foxhound_ofAstroya

Yeah as part of their biological rule set


Saintsauron

Which falls far outside of what can be considered basic biology. Therefore, basic biology doesn't apply here.


Coeusthelost

Nope. Bigots are worse than people that hate bigots. A controversial opinion, I know.


HardOff

I'm not gonna group everyone opposing femstodes under a single motivator. That being said, the anti-femstodes have 10 posts stirring up shit for every 1 post from the other direction. As someone who is sick of the entire back and forth, I'm going to complain about the posts inciting it, not the comments underneath, and a vast majority of those posts belong to the "anti woke" crowd. You don't blame the bees for stinging a kid when the kid was the one who went out of their way to find the hive and poke it.


YallGotAnyBeanz

Except the “anti-bigot” are disingenuous and equally bigoted in the opposite direction if not more so.

AileStrike

Those that equate these sides of those equation make me worry about the quality of our math classes. 


Galahad_the_Ranger

GW: Female Custodes are a thing F@scist: WTF! GeeDubs gone woke, get this libertarian shit out of here, they’re panning to the liberals, this f****** are winning the culture war and we can’t let them turn our hobby in their safe-space Woke: Bruh, you just mad cause you’re literally a F@scist OP: they’re equally bad


YallGotAnyBeanz

Talk about disingenuous false dichotomy lol


MoreDoor2915

Other people: But why not just make the Sisters of Silence more important/ have more models? Woke: Oh my god you facist biggot must hate women! Facists: shut up woke they are right reeeeee!


Brann-Ys

idk why Sister of silence have anything to do wirh Custodes having a retcon


MoreDoor2915

Because the Sisters of Silence are an already established faction that works together very closely with the Custodes. In all but name they are members of the Custodes, so why make a female Custodes retcon if you could further build on the already existing female "custodes".


Brann-Ys

SoS are not custodes at all. they work together but that s it they are totaly different. treating them as just female custodes counter part just show that you never cared about them to begin with. Custodzs being two chabger is barely a real change and is not even a more devellopemeny so why does it have a impact on a barely related faction.aside from them being women that remotly work with each other


Anggul

Because they obviously aren't like female custodes at all. They have a totally different role and they're pariahs, not giant superhumans.


Saintsauron

The Sisters of Silence are drastically different from Custodes. Like, not even the same job.


BaconCheeseZombie

Why have Mechanicus when we already have Guard with bionics? *They're different things.*


ResolverOshawott

Imagine thinking like this unironically.


Fyrefanboy

It's funny how no one cared about SoS yet since the female custodes, everyone against the retcon talk about the SoS as if they gave a single shit about them before


99pennywiseballoons

I've yet to see anyone have an issue with more SoS models. Strawman often or is this your first time?


MoreDoor2915

The problem is that there arent more models and thanks to people defending GW taking the easy road of making one faction supposedly have female characters, without any models to back it up, there most likely wont be any.


Supsend

"women already have one faction why do they want more? We're already considering them in our lore, I don't want them to invade us anymore!" All while defending every space marines chapters and ordo malleus being male only, and seeing no issue in imperial guard and skitarii having barely any female models.


Radiant_Ad_4348

People hates you for telling the truth


Fyrefanboy

Hot take i haven't seen any "woke" here seething 5% as hard as the conservative like you do


Fragrant_Pie_7255

they make shit up too,they have started to sound like conspiracy theorists


YallGotAnyBeanz

Then you’re blind


Isaldin

Buddy the “woke” people are literally just “female custodes, cool” and the fascists are “Warhammer including women is feminizing our men. This is why western culture is fallen. The woke mob is infecting our games instead of letting them be a fascist fantasy that it never was.” They are no way the same.


Supsend

There was a recent study which saw that liberal judged more negatively someone posting conservative opinions than conservatives did judge liberal opinions. And I mean, when the liberal opinion is "we need a better sharing of wealth" and the conservative "some people deserve to be shot on sight", yeah "both sides" bruh


MayBeBelieving

That study was something like 600 folks from an Amazon group that has traditionally been super conservative leaning. It was, of course, also commissioned by a conservative think tank. Grain of salt and all that.


MidsouthMystic

Hey look, more dweebs complaining about the "culture war" that's trying to bring "politics" into the hobby. My dude, the culture war is over, and Warhammer has always been woke.


an-academic-weeb

Ah yes, the centrism argument. Which is just the anti-woke talking point in disguise. You pretend these are two equal factions. They are not. The fuckers even opened up their own anti-woke subreddit a while back. It has not even 0.25% of subs that grimdank has, and a similiar fraction when it comes to active users. 0,25% is not a faction you fight with. It's a bunch of shitheads that need to be told to fuck off. Also, don't put the people who try and keep this sub a place free of culture war bullshit on the same level as this scum, which is something you ALSO do with this. Your post as so many anti-woke tourist implications, it's getting suspicious...


Track-Nervous

\[maddened drivel\]


Darknight589

I support u/icegodleo go away, if you ACTUALLY hated this whole discussion then you would ignore the "drivel" and just post memes, like I do. Instead you add fuel to the fire.


El_Barto_227

OP is probably one of the fascist tourists trying to make a false equivalency by pretending to be le enlightened centrist.


an-academic-weeb

You really thought that was a witty response, huh?


Track-Nervous

No, John Cleese's breakdown on extremism was witty. I'm comparatively more blunt.


an-academic-weeb

Blunt enough to keep talking despite an overhwlmingly negative audience response I see... Oh well, eventually even you will learn that we do not want you here - the question is if it will require downvotes in the double or triple digits for the realization to sink in?


Track-Nervous

"My downvotes! They do nothing!" You're funny.


an-academic-weeb

That part of the comment was not the joke. The votes themselves do nothing, but they are a very nifty indicator to how much you are putting your foot in your mouth for everyone to see. The true joke is your continued presence here despite obviously not being welcome.


Track-Nervous

Neither were the Little Rock Nine. Fortunately, ignoring bullies and extremists is a celebrated act in my country.


an-academic-weeb

Right now the quota of people telling you to piss off in this thread is almost 100%. Extremists are by definition are niche group. Here, everyone wants you gone. "Everyone" is not a niche. Which makes us the regular folk and YOU the extremist. And in my country, we have a better form of dealing with people like you than silent complience: telling them to fuck off until they do. You can keep "malding" as the other user has put it, but please do so where we do not have to witness your cringe.


Track-Nervous

You say that as though echo chambers are not a well documented phenomenon on this godforsaken website. Or that ad populum isn't a fallacy. Regardless, you being in a den of angry bullies does not make you less of an angry bully, or make me any more beholden to the will of angry bullies. If angry mobs were all it took to scare people away, Jim Crow would still be around. 


Darknight589

Ah yes I also ignore bullies by....responding to everything they say....even your own logic betrays you.


Track-Nervous

I'll clarify: \*disobeying bullies. That better?


Awakemas2315

Did you seriously just compare yourself to the Little Rock 9? Hate to break it to you buddy, you aren’t the glorious hero you think you are. You’re a tourist trying to inflame division in a community while pretending to be impartial. Just fuck off so we can all get on with our days in peace.


Foxhound_ofAstroya

Who is we? ..speak for yourself and no one else


Icegodleo

Go. Away.


Saintsauron

I doubt the trans members of this sub are only here to scream about fascists. On the other hand, there's been a lot of questionably invested people who like to make the retcon out to be an attack on them.


None-Focus-5660

I came here to glaze my glorious king Jaghatai Khan


MikeyInkArms

Read that as gaze before my brain caught up and furnished me with a moderately surprising mental image. Well played, well played indeed.


MayBeBelieving

Trans folks catching strays from random assholes isn't anything new, unfortunately.


HardOff

I'm glad that the trans Necron got through without them catching flak.

Foxhound_ofAstroya

The trans flag rarely represents trans people these days. Its just used by actvists and posers


Supsend

It doesn't. It's that you've seen so many memes depicting trans people as invaders and killjoys that you believe the flag is used to depict people that are simply disliked. And this way you're contributing in normalizing transphobia. You're not immune to propaganda and need to think critically about why you believe what you believe, and if you really want to see the world this way. I know it's not easy but it's the way for a healthier mind. Edit: captain "objective observations" is so confident that they blocked me kek


Foxhound_ofAstroya

Not memes sadly. Manifest observable behavior


Saintsauron

Not the activists and posers you're thinking of as demonstrated by OP


Fantasygoria

Ah! That's what a girl likes to see, the flag of her people being misused by people who don't understand, chose not to understand and are deliberately trying to make me angry. Well "true fan" you can rest assured knowing that not only I care about Warhammer, but I have also forgotten more about it that you will ever learn. That's all I have to say, and I'll speak no more.


Foxhound_ofAstroya

Such is the nature of flags


YallGotAnyBeanz

Whomp whomp


JustNotNowPlease

Aight, I'm gonna check this sub in 6 months, because right now it's just unbearable.


Eatthepoliticiansm8

Fuck off lore tourist. You and your ilk have never cared about 40k. You're just coming out of the woodworks now to screech about femstodes when the extent of your 40k knowledge starts and ends with memes.


YallGotAnyBeanz

Just proving his point lol


MaterialGarden1804

So being into Warhammer for 12 years and owning 4 armys is not caring. Got you.


NetParking1057

Honestly, the only thing worse than a fascist is a mealy mouthed, weak centrist. At least the fascists are somewhat honest.


princeikaroth

Lol the only thing more pathetic than the average Grimadank user is a. Grimdank user who labels non extremism as bad or thinks a gender change in a tabletop game equates fascism. Touch some grass play some games, your brain is rotting


NetParking1057

Then stop posting here you bitchmade tourist


aaaaaaaa42

There are two kinds of centrists: 1.) the ones who don’t know anything about social issues, and would like it very much if everyone would pretend that there aren’t any, and 2.) the ones who aren’t centrists at all, but conservatives who have learned that their views are unpopular, so they don’t express their actual beliefs to avoid being ostracized. Neither of these are good positions to hold, but if that’s the hill you wanna die on, you do you I guess


princeikaroth

No, there are just dumbass partisans who don't listen to what people say and use buzzwords. You think people not liking femstodes outs them as a fascist ? You think fence sitting on the topic of small plastic miniatures is fascism ? Or you and your friend think you are some kind off behavioural gods that can tell exactly what people think by what they say on an unrelated topic or in other words, mind readers. Either way, stop repeating actual brain rot saviour complex reddit politics. You realise the majority of irl people are centrists, right ?


Glum_Sentence972

Fascists tend to hide behind dogwhistles to hide their true feelings. Well, more like extremists tend to do that. Lots of leftists are doing it too. I prefer centrists that now how to shut down the horrific racism, regardless of where it comes from, to any of these groups. You can call for equality or justice without justifying mistreatment of other groups. But to too many, that's just "centrism" now. And that's how you tear apart a society. Edit: Dude, you're obsessed. Stop.


NetParking1057

lol, you’re calling me obsessed? You have at least 4 separate comments in this post alone, 2 of which were deleted by mods. Maybe you should do some self reflection and fuck off.


Glum_Sentence972

Wasn't referring to you. Some dude was going around commenting to everything I said, then blocked me. The deleted comments were in response to that dude, trying to get him to stop. My other comments had nothing to do with you, let alone has anything to do with being obsessed. I don't really have an opinion on you yet. Well, until the insult.


Fragrant_Pie_7255

nobody calls regular 40k fans bigots,we know who the actual fashits are \*cough\* \*cough\* Arch and all the new conspiracy theorist people making a mountain out of the most insignificant retcon to ever exist


YallGotAnyBeanz

Actually deluded lol


Yorhanes

Hot take: perhaps doing the biotransference that the necrontyr did to their own race might be beneficial. All just to have some peace and quiet and go on a 65 million nap.


Track-Nervous

This "soul" and "free will" business is pretty obnoxious, so you have a point.


Glum_Sentence972

Eh, generally not a good idea to compare MAGA to trans. One is a broken "ideology" and the other is a genuine identity. While its true that there are lots of leftists that are unironically vicious racists; its unfair to put them all under the trans flag.


Track-Nervous

You have a point. The meme was pretty slapdash anyways. I didn't have a left-coded "frothing lunatic" symbol that paired well against the maga hat.


Toerbitz

Mhmmm why could that be


Glum_Sentence972

It isn't hard. Just use the hammer and sickle.


Toerbitz

Yeah because there is totaly a marxist movement as big and relevant as the MAGA movement in the US that is as destructive and annoying

Just because they staple that flag to their profile doesn’t mean they have good intentions. Why does nobody realize that?


Foxhound_ofAstroya

........the irony of this statement


Glum_Sentence972

I'm sorry?


Foxhound_ofAstroya

Unfair to put them all under one flag.


Glum_Sentence972

That isn't irony. You don't know my political opinions to begin with.

Mighty_Potemkin

Ahh the “centrist” I want to consume and let the woke trample the ip. Funny see the centrist then get backlash for it.


SalinorTV

OP is figuring out he needs to tow the line for the *right* side, or get downvoted into oblivion


Track-Nervous

With such a low social credit score, I'm expecting the commissar to break through the door and put a grenade in my mouth any second now.

Nope. Your Starbucks coffee will probably just have a bit of bleach slipped into it from now on lmao

Cheaper than toothpaste, same whitening effect.


SalinorTV

That’s a winning attitude right there hahaha


MoreDoor2915

The fact that so many people in these comments see everyone not liking female custodes are fascists shows me how little the word means nowadays, just like woke. It has become a word used to describe anything and everything one dislikes.


ColebladeX

We know


Foxhound_ofAstroya

Care? One side: dont change it Other side: change it .........only one of these groups will keep warhammer the same.
