>The third edition rulebook for Warhammer: The Horus Heresy no longer specifies the gender of Space Marine recruits, opening space for fanon.

>A very small piece of lore has been omitted from the third edition Warhammer: the Horus Heresy rulebook. In the 'Process of Initiation' sidebar which describes how Space Marines are created, no reference is made to the gender of Space Marine initiates, removing the second edition's explicit statement that the process relies on the "hormonal and biological make-up of the human male".

>Steampunk CRPG New Arc Line adds dwarves in big update
The topic of female Space Marines in Warhammer 40k fandom and lore is a fraught one, one front in the online culture war. The wording of the 'Process of Initiation' in the second edition Horus Heresy rulebook came under criticism from progressive commentators for two main reasons: it emboldened harassers who were targeting fans making miniatures, fanart, or fanfiction about their own custom female Space Marine Chapters; and it embodied simplistic concepts of biology also found in harmful transphobic and misogynist rhetoric.

>The revised wording has already attracted concern from conservative fans. One post in the Warhammer 40k Heresyposting facebook group speculates; "I WONDER WHY GW[?] FEMALE CUSTODES WASN'T ENOUGH WAS IT?" No part of the Horus Heresy rulebook mentions female Space Marines.

>I think conservatives should be careful what they wish for. The Heresy 2.0 description invoked scientific language, but Space Marines don't stand up to scientific scrutiny. Our guide to the Space Marine organs was compiled by a medical doctor in consultation with other medical specialists from several fields, who determined that the majority of the organs could not possibly work as described - their functions were self-contradicting.

Yep, the first step has been made.

They didn't settle, why are you?
You're settling because you're weak and you're a coward. You're a boomer and you've got yours, fuck all those young kids just coming into the hobby they can have the trans slop, it's not your problem because you can play your cuck edition in your cuck basement (because you'll be banned from any public events) with your fat bald faggot cuck friends.

>>510675491

GW will continuing it's quest to haemorrhage money despite growing popularity.
And when the growth goes down the community starts shrinking and they face massive backlash what will they do?
Raise the prices and cut production due to lack of interest.
RIP in piss

Warhammer is for faggots so this is no surprise.

Everything ok, big guy? If woman are able to into your male spaces then they weren’t male enough to begin with. Woman need to feel filtered in order for something to not be contaminated with their presence.

>>510676667
Look at yourself, seething about a fucking board game. Blind with anger to the degree that you don't even see that women or whoever you are angry at are just as exploited as you by the same uncaring billionaire class. The billionaires don't give a fuck about any of us, they just want us fighting about this stupid shit so they can keep getting richer

Warhammer was literal a fuck you to the globalist and a bit of nationalistic. Brian Ansel moved the production to the Norf to give the working class who thatcher fucked over with globalism jobs while he built it up to make a few million. That was literally the plan of 80's GW. A few punks and chavs were going to make some quid and give union guys jobs casting metal.
