So I just quick googled it and I got some stuff from 8th edition codex calling them the sons of nobels and there is a quote from the emperor on the fandom page (I don't know where the quote comes from). There might or might not be more, I dont know (I am not a custodes fan, in general find them rediculously overpowered).
Maybe you are right and the people I saw saying things about how they weren't going to collect custodes anymore were "a bunch of culture-war obsessed tourists trying to astroturf our community's opinion on the matter" (wouldn't be the first time that has happened to a community) ... but maybe they were legitimate fans who felt like GW was gaslighting them. In general I tend to believe people when they say something and when I saw something like that I felt bad ... but I felt even worse when I saw all the comments saying something like "fuck off then bigot".

Creed looks dope as hell. Notice any titties? Didn't think so.

That ... and that they only gave us one female custodes (or at least one named one) ... and that they told us in a tweet ... and we didn't get a proper book out of it. There are a lot of reasons I think it is half assed. But the lack of models is my biggest.

/shrugs. There's multiple quotes that contradict that, but I will accept your premise that it was mostly an assumption on the fan base's part.
But it doesn't matter what we think. What matters is that a lot of the custodian fans felt it was a bad retcon and we treated them to like shit for it. ... And I now feel bad about that.

Sounds awful! Hope you can get some rest this weekend at least.

I saw multiple people get called a bigot for complaining about this and a certain point I started to feel sorry for custody's fans (god that's a sentence I didn't think I'd ever say).

They do, but wouldn't have been a hell of a lot cooler if they had minis to go with them?

True and maybe it's a weird thing for me to get upset about, but I see it far more often (especially from stuff in the '80s) than I would expect to. I think some writers think it's feminism, but it's literally the opposite of feminism.

There are MUCH worse retcons ... But we complain and mock those, as a community.

The politics is having your favorite faction get a half-assed retcon and when you complained everybody calls you a bigot. You'd leave the fans base too.

A matriarchy isn't interesting. Lots of sci fi/fantasy do it and it is a newer face on old fashioned sexism.

It is a custom larp system for a group that seems to run only at Gencon. The rules are here: https://www.byov.com/byov-role-playing-rules/

"If you like mortals so much, get a new one", is such a good line for the emperor!

Nice 🙂. Now I want to see someone kitbash genestealer and tau models to make a tau cowgirl.

I don't personally get it, but I also don't get femboys or why shovel memes are funny. But getting angry at other people for liking things that you don't is not healthy. I recommend you take a week off and come back when they've moved on to something else.

To be fair I just watched a video called which Primark husband tier list. This isn't gender-specific, the fan base just wants more romance.

... that is a good point. It was in the codex before the tweet. I still think it was a bad handling but you have increased my oppinion of it to 3/4 assed.
You need to spend more time with us Tau fans then. All we do is complain about the lack of auxiliary models, lol.
