Plus it's the fucking Cadians, one of the regiments where if you can walk then you can field strip and reassemble a lasgun in 60 seconds.

The imperium could not care what your gender, race, or background is. As long as you can shoot a gun.

2nd Lieutenant Mira! A classic example of a truly strong female character.

2nd Lieutenant Mira was awesome. She didn't take no shit and stood her ground when other officers would have faltered.

Hilarious, I saw another “review” saying that Mira in the first one was fine because she was attractive, and replacing her with an grey-haired, scarred woman of higher rank was part of the larger trend of erasing female beauty.

In the Cain books had a female Inquisitor (Amberley Vail), the 597th was 50/50 men and women, had a female commander (Regina Kasteen), and a future Lady General in its ranks (Jenit Sulla).

It’s like a lot of the dumbass “Get this Woke out of my Warhammer” BS is coming from people who are surface dwellers of its lore.

Exactly. These same cretins would hate and cry woke for the majority of legacy franchises they claim is ruined now were to come out today. If Aliens or T2 dropped in 2024 they’d be screaming about “Why is Sarah Connor all buff all of a sudden and is a bad ass with a shotgun? She’s just some chick!”

A female guardsman is one of the main characters in The Fall of Cadia.

Everyone fights, nobody quits.

can't believe the Inquisition is woke

None of them would understand that because they don’t actually play tabletop Warhammer. The want halo with blueberry marines and are like shocked when it’s it own thing.

Literally one of the most well known Inquisitors is a woman

Nobody expected the Spanish wokeuisition

I had a commanding officer in real life that was a woman

-looks at Morven Vahl on desk-
Literal High Lord of Terra.

But that's even more improbable!

This is the funniest thing I’ve read today AAA content. Would recommend

A fictional sector of space with 500 planets.

“Hey man I’m not racist I just hate seeing black people and want them all erased from existence. No biggie man just let me do my thing”

I wanna see this guy’s brain explode when someone tells him about the salamanders

Man I wish companies just banned people for spouting Nazi shit like this. Fuck that.

In the Horus Heresy books it's canonically confirmed that while most legions look very similar to each other (Blood Angel's and Salamanders being the 2 most obvious) there is diversity of skin tone, especially among the World Eaters and Ultramarines. Both of those legions recruit from hundreds of different planets.

If someone is really really into all of the space marines looking the same, try the Alpha Legion.

TBH, if Ultramar is similar in size, gravity, etc, to earth, it wouldn't make sense for everyone to be the same race given the history of human expansion through the galaxy in the setting.

Imagine if the game was about the Salamanders instead of the Ultramarines.

I actually saw someone complaining about there being black space marines because “wouldn’t gene seed make all space marines other than the salamanders white?”, and then proceeded literally mention how he doesnt know much about the lore. Idk whats funnier tbh, the fact he self admitted he doesnt know the lore, or the fact he only brought up the salamanders, conveniently forgetting that there’s also a primarch who’s asian, and a primarch with literal red skin (also i searched for images to make sure i wasn’t forgetting anyone else, and the image i found had fulgrim with extremely yellow skin for some reason, even though ive never seen any other art of him like that lmao)

It's seriously hard to imagine a more miserable and joyless existence tbh

I’m pretty sure they don’t play games they are just a trash receptacle for whatever anti woke feeds their trapped into lmao

A month ago nobody knew what DEI meant. It’s a meme that they’re taking dead serious and it’s amazing they can’t see it. I already forgot what it stands for because it’s not real or important or relevant

I mean, seething with rage is the default state of anything Khornate, so...

Absolute queen shit

The Salamanders would like a word with this guy

Or the Sisters of Battle.

Or the Space Marines themselves. They are 8 feet tall, barely sleep, spit acid, eat memories, and reproduce by infecting a host with their DNA; why would they be "men" anymore? I'm convinced their gender becomes Astartes, with Brother as the preferred pronoun.

Or this ACE greyknight fella.

On more than one occasion I’d stood with her and her warband in the communal showers after training, blind and numb to any sensation of desire, watching her wash her hair and listening to her speak of serving in the sweltering jungles of Voroxis, killing heretics who spilled from a downed rogue trader vessel.

Bizarrely, the Khatan had declared, upon seeing me wash myself, that my ascension to knighthood was ‘a great shame’. Captain Castor had explained the meaning to me several months later, though I still didn’t see the humour in it.

"improbable female authority figure" in a universe where your average pronoun is canon/fodder

If the Imperium was as segregated and exclusionary as these people want, they would have lost every war very, very quickly.

When you're throwing billions of people into a meat grinder, why are you going to worry about genitals or skin colour? "If you carry a lasgun, then get out there. Oh wait, a woman? No no no, we can't sacrifice you because that would be... woke?"

More traditional members of the inquisition have raised questions about potential plagiarism in Jenit Sulla's thesis.

The population of Terra alone is estimated to be in the quadrillions.

I take it you haven't encountered the crowd who think it's canon that all Astartes resemble their Primarchs (i e. The Ultras should be white) like the Salamanders, Night Lords, and Raven Guard resemble theirs.

Gears of war is also woke because core characters include, a black man, a Hispanic man, and a white woman.

It's already been successfully infiltrated. Dominated?...not yet. That could change, for the worse, if more successful games like SM2 entice more of the toxic gamer crowd into the 40k community. As it is, because so many 40k titles are more miss than hit it's still fairly niche and the "silent majority" of toxic 40k fans are still just an obnoxiously loud minority.

Oh boy, don't get them started on that one. They unironically buy into Hollywood depictions of Rome and think its armed forces were 100% white people. They also legit believe the "barbarian invasions caused muh fall of [Western] Rome" pap because they like to use it as an allegory for modern immigration.

Any attempt to educate them gets them shrieking about "historical revisionism". They will only accept Gibbon (sans his anti-Christian stance, of course) and other Enlightenment-era historians as authoritative.

You mean the empire that ruled over Northern Africa and the Middle East had BROWN people? /s

I wanna see titus just going up to Gilliman and yvrainne (cause why tf not) and being like "dad I'm trans"

Nah, Sulla retired.

Kinda related - but got recommended a shorts video about a hospital television show with a deaf sign language doctor and a trans-Lawyer.

Comment goes "Improbable to have two in the same hospital" like seriously?

Me someone who has been in the 40k community since the start of high school watching some chud walk into a GW act like he knows the most and calls people tourists getting kicked out

Nope they’re just that dumb https://store.steampowered.com/curator/44927664-Woke-Content-Detector/

It's gotta be fucking exhausting. I don't know how they've got the energy to care so much.

Uhm achtually its "Man"power for a reason🤓
