"Improbably diverse" My brother in the Emperor, it's straight up mentioned that the Ultramarines Legion have an incredibly diverse skin tone in the Betrayer novel
@@TheBayzent The imperium is mainly xenophobic not racist. We will make any worthy aspirants into space marines. You be lucky to serve The Emperor as a servitor with that way of thinking
Space Marine PR rep: "We are a unique and diverse org with a wide range of opinions." Chiron: "I want to make *specific things* more deader." Titus: "I want to efficiently make things more dead." Leandros: ** 🐓 sucking noises**
I love how they say improbable, using racial statistics derived from their singular country and applying to an entire different planet separated from earth that is furthermore 40,000 years into the future, as if the racial stats for their country are a universal truth and never change or fluctuate due to time or location. How stupid can one be?
Canonically, they are the most diverse with the World Eaters being the second most diverse. Even outright stated in the book "Betrayer" released back in 2012 before this whole "woke" thing came out.
@@Big_E_Soul_Fragment 2012 isnt before the woke era lol. And 40k novels being written by authors who openly admit to inserting their political biases, including woke and diversity bs, into their works is one of the vectors of wokeness in 40k that gave us such “beloved” gems as erda along with various pointless retcons that have damaged the mythos more then it enhanced it.
@@libertinarey even disregarding the novels, we still get black marines in the Dawn of War series and the old Space Crusade game back in 1992. Seriously, how hard is it to believe non-Caucasian Space Marines exist?
@@Big_E_Soul_Fragment You're looking at the criticism through a too narrow lense, while the criticism itself is misinformed. It's not about marines of a certain shade existing or not, it's about marines of many shades existing in the same chapter. It's true that most marine chapters recruit from only one world, and canonically, many worlds have been settled by racially homogenous groups looking to be left alone by the rest of humanity. However, the Ultramarines recruit from all the worlds in their domain. It would be weird for them to not be as diverse as pictured in the game.
Curator forgot that the first game exhibited a Lieutenant Mira, a female officer in charge of Cadian forces on Graia. Curator also doesn't know that there's an entire faction called the Sisters of Battle. And that Ursarkar Creed's daughter, Ursulla, took his position as Castellan of the surviving Cadian troops after the fall of Cadia. Gaunt's Ghosts displays women in combat roles as part of the Tanith First and Only. There's also a saint that's a female, that's a fieldable character for the Sisters army lists. Bro... This level of "Everything is Woke" is just as bad as its reverse "Everything is Racist/Sexist".
dont forget ciaphas cain has 1 a female inquisitor 2 a female commander of an entire regiment 3 a hinted at lesbian couple 4 had an entire regiment of women that got turned into a mixed one because both were eaten by bugs
Best part of the "diversity" is that despite their different appearances, the only serious tension between the men was in what way they wanted to make things more deader. "I want to *furiously* make *specific* enemies more deader!" "NO! We need to *efficiently* make things EQUALLY more deader!" "YOU FOOLS!!! We need to make things more deader *by the book*" And then they forgot what they were arguing about when big brother dreadnought showed up and started yeeting statues at birds. "

Is this your genuine best understanding of the situation? How much effort are you putting in to understanding what's going on? Serious question, here. I almost can't believe that you're strawmanning things to be as inaccurate as you are.
Imagine calling a game set in the WH40K universe unrealistic because it has "improbable female authority". My dude, it's about space knights killing aliens with chainsaw swords, but THAT is the part you find unrealistic?
the warhammer guy NEVER EVER played or read anything Warhammer. because if they had done so they knew that 1. Space Marines are mixed racially, even the Salamanders are racially mixed, with people that show caucasian asian facial structures even tho their skin is all onyx colored and their eyes are fiery red. 2. that warhammer has entire armies that are female only, like the Adepta Sororitas, Sisters of Silence and the Callidus Temple. and that the Inquisitorium has female inquisitors and that the Guard also has female officers and there are also female Commisar's.
Ultramarines improbably diverse? Tourists, ultramar is a galactic region involving multiple planets and we developed 3 main races with multiple distinct ethnicities on just one...
I hate how people being anti-woke is getting to point of actual racism and sexism. I mean, yes, woke stuff is bad and should be rejected, but games having a black guy or a woman in them isn't woke on its own merit.
Its basically a see saw, people in trying to include diversity become racist and sexist and people trying to combat that also become racist and sexist. Its an endless see saw of extremism. A result of the beneficial and harmful trait of the internet that you can join any group without needing to have your beliefs be a specific way as long as its vaguely aligned
"Getting" there? I'm sorry to break this too you but the anti-woke movement has been composed in it's most ardent ranks pretty mostly of racists and misogynists from the start. The acutal bigots latched onto it IMMEDIATELY as a way to push their views under the guise of 'fighting politcal correctness', it's the same kind of trash you see in hicks talking about 'protecting white culture' or 'traditional values' it's just coded language to avoid overtly outright stating your view because being that direct isn't acceptable. This 'movement' just becoming acutal overt racists was honestly assured. The entire core premise is basically 'diversity bad, unless done in a super specific way I agree with, but not TOO much of it'. Which is so absurdly easy to just fall into "diversity and none subservient women bad" in general it was doomed from the start.
An improbable female authority figure, I wouldn’t call her that, at most I would call her a little forgettable, I can easily remember lieutenant Mira from the first game, who was a great and interesting character, in space marine 2 I can’t even remember the woman’s name
That first guy must have NEVER read a single book set in 40K! Look I HATE DEI and all that crud. BUT the Imperial Guard for instance, has ALWAYS had all female, or all male, or mixed gender units in it's lore. I have some old codex books that explain it. HELL, read Gaunt's Ghosts for example. Screw that guy, he makes us all look bad. Next thing you know the Act woMan is gonna get involved. LOL.
I'm not saying that the game is woke, but it's extremely rare to fin a men showing positive traits and a women showing negative traits. I've found some men who behaves decently, an all women. And the incluion of women stops with the traitors, then they're all men, and white.
And Caiaphhas Cain managed to actually get an all male squad and an all female squad organized, disciplined, and working together. The man actually had them get along so well that some of them were having relationships with the other squad. Truly a feat worthy of the hero of the imperium.

AS someone who hates woke bullshit i can affirm that SM2 is the ABSOLUTE contrary of Woke The title of the game could be "Heroic Masculinity: the Game" and it would not be a Lie. "There's a Female Cadian Commander!" Yes and?, the Guard doesn't discriminate, as long that you can hold a lasgun and knows your prayers to the God-Emperor you are free to join and if you do well you can climb in ranks, no matter your Gender, despite How some people like to say that the Imperium is Fascist, it is ironicly VERY Progressist. Man & Woman, no matter what, you are a Proud Member of the Human race, You are ONE of the Untold Trillions of Imperial Citizens, the only hatred you should feel is for the Xenos, the Mutants and the Heretic, Hate is a commodity, a ressource, that is best used against the Enemies of Humanity. "Theres a Black guy and a Asian guy in the UM, there shouldn't be one, since they have the geneseed of Guilliman" well yes and No The Geneseed while passing on genetic traits of the Primarch onto the Marines is indeed a thing, it doesn't make them Clones of the Primarch. Also Marines does NOT only recruit from their own Homeworld, in practice they can also recruit candidats from OTHER worlds that is under the governance of the Chapter. So they can physicly vary a great deal, even if they will share traits with their Primarchs AND each others.
isnt it more likely that the astartes take personality traits from their primarch rather then the appearance? im new to the lore so pls correct me if im wrong
In theory can a white dude turn into a black guy should he become a Salamander Marine? i;ve read their lore being one of the highest mutation and their planet is full of blacks
@@Lucifer-do7mf They can take from both But it doesn't erase whatever personality and Physicality they had BEFORE becoming marines. Like said, they are "related" in a way since they all share the same Genes, but they arn't Clones of one another and their Primarchs.

@@Krachbumm-Ente Excuse me? It's already well established that the Emperor was born in Anatolia for decades now. It's not according to me, it's from GW itself.

And really, the black dude with a mohawk is not obvious enough for you?
These people will literally look for any slight excuse, no matter how small, stupid, or nonsensical (when they don’t misinterpret or outright make one up) to call something “woke.” It’s beyond pathetic.
want to know the funny thing about "woke" this is the definition alert to and concerned about social injustice and discrimination. so not only is this incorrect but "woke" games and movies are in fact not woke as they arnt using the theme to bring awareness (ex. moana, with climate awareness) but are instead just shit spread this news wide and far
a case of what I've come to call "woke ptsd". Being anti-woke is fine. Being anti-DEI is fine. In fact, I even encourage it. But some people see it everywhere, in everything. Even in things that arent there. Just like how some weirdo on twitter (surprising nobody) tried to call out some 3D artist for talking about Riggers. Yknow, rigging up a 3D model and all that. The wee lil moron mistook the word "Rigger" for another word starting with an N, demanded an apology and the whole schtick. No racism anywhere, yet they still managed to shove it in there.
@@shoulderpyro I'm a black guy but I hate it when they just put black people in stuff for the sake of diversity and browny points (see what I did there). Like that new Lara Croft show, or other crap that has forced inclusion
It seriously saddens me how angry and racists people get when they see any of their beloved characters portrayed by a race other than their own. Earth has hundreds of ethnicities. Earth is one planet. Ultramar has 500 habitable worlds, in a time where all ethnicities of today are likely far gone and there’s likely thousands of ethnicities throughout the Imperium, of all different genetic make ups, colors, melanin content, all adapted to the parts of the planets they grew up on in their solar systems. With genetic survival adaptations kicking in as soon as a few generations in some climates, it’s easier to imagine Gulliman’s sons and all of human kind being very adaptable and diverse in 40,000 AD. 10,000 years after the Space Marine chapters would definitely create new melanin contents within the ranks. I could go on but people really seemed shocked to find out all humans are still 99.9% genetically identical and that the skin color changes are merely climate adaptations, not genetic abnormalities like what were once called races by previous and less educated generations. Moral, race is not real; there is only the human race. Ethnicities are merely subjective experiences based more on family values passed through generations than skin color. The humans in the Grim Dark Future don’t see such stupid and outdated irrationalities as relevant to their cause. They only see humans and expendable resources in the grand scheme of the Emperor. So yes, Space Marines can be different ethnicities. Especially those from Macragge.
Erm..... There are, every so often, anomalies within the status quo of how things typically work.... We title these anomalies the exception to the rule. In war, and military service, it is exceedingly rare, but you can have female officers and troopers who can perform on par or maybe even better in some respects than their male counterpart. Again, it's rare, ESPECIALLY in an aggressive combat situation.
@@chestermicgun then diversity shouldn't matter either since it's a work of fiction.... Idk, call me crazy, but maybe, just maybe. If people aren't buying certain games or investing their time and energy into a product. It might just be because they just don't like the work of fiction being had? I don't see SM2 as being woke at all. It fits, and people like it.
I’ve played through the campaign three times and I’ve not seen a single thing in support of the Blue-Haired Pronoun Mafia. I’m really confused as to how this game is even remotely ‘woke’.
As someone who is greatly against the social-justice warriors in they gaming-industry i can only shake my head about this. It is canonicly made stated that the guardsmen draft both women and men- basicly throwing everything they have one the enemy. Hell in they case of cadia the entire planets population were guardsmen. I would get it if they had created a female space marine or male sister of battle, but they didnt. There is a lot of from devs fucked up games out there but this isnt one.
The same should be said for people who consider any racial of gender quotas in eg. developing a game or for anyone who puts "diversity" on a pedestal. Both are mired in the same garbage racists partake in: attaching a value for characteristics without any value. Can't have a racist without overly caring about skin color or a sexist without overly caring about gender. "But muh intentions" changes nothing and if you scrape off the paint off certain DEI advocates, funny things tend to come out, stuff like "original sin logic", "math is white supremacy" or "entitlement to -revenge- reparations". Almost as if this entire DEI schtick - and various nonsense before it - had always been a clown show, diverse only in the sense of diverse tactics of faking it, starting from seeking DEI loans. As for garbage tier takes regarding what is woke" - welcome to reality where people disgusted by clown shows are numerous enough that both grifting from them and fanatical overcorrection become a thing simply due to large numbers and statistics. If you haven't noticed, this is how "equity" looks like, with pendulum barely moving towards the middle. Wake me up when anti-woke attitude (and I mean mainstream version, not some weirdos trying to compete with puerile radicalism or outright astroturfers) is mandated by massive corporations, governments and colleges, with its lingo being pushed as "virtuous". Hilariously enough, some of it used to be, but packaged as progressive few decades ago - do you know what it preached? Being color-blind, which... can still be found at the foundation of rejecting modern DEI garbage with characters transparently existing only to fill a quota.
I’m 100% Anti-Woke as well, but Warhammer Lore has 100% always included female combatants. This is a world of genetic enhancement and a completely lack of femininity, so logic can deduce that their female characters are much stronger and more capable than most. Cant project everything. You only get to do this when they either: 1.) Come out of nowhere (looking at you Rey) 2.) Are Lore Inaccurate (Female Custodies fits this) 3.) Are more powerful than everyone else for no justifiable reason (looking at you Rey) 4.) undercut other characters to bring them up (looking at you again Rey) 5.) Are Rey from Star Wars
First guys a troll , or one of those wokies he's talking about trying to make normal people think that the anti woke is beyond unreasonable Not even incells are that pathetic
As someone who openly hates woke trash like many of the crap we see today i can say SM2 was more true to Warhammer then actually resent GW stuff Saber did a fantastic job keeping it feeling well grim dark just wish the story was longer but due to casuals bitching games are now half the length because they couldn't finsh
Yeah it a little short, I guess it more because they needed to find place where it was okai to twist in females to try to avoid woke crap enough for their game to not be cancelled too much.
I mean yeah, there some woke crap in it but honnestly manageable, the multi origin of rhe Ultramarine is lore accurate, that pratically all graded are female ? Well weird and I have some incel feeling about it but at the same time, I prefer that than them making female astartes or custodes.
My poor, poor Warhammer. On one side having girls in combat is woke. On the other there were always female Custodians and whoever disagree is mysoginist. I knew in the grim darkness of the 41st millennium there is only war, but didn't know there was war also OUT of Warhammer.
“Warhammer is woke” If you think about it, low key always has been. It’s making almost everything the Imperium does out to be BAD, so people who agree in turn make themselves part of the joke, much like people who side with Homelander in The Boys or Joker in Joker. While yes it wouldn’t make sense for the imperium to willingly take in female soldiers in my opinion, because they’re all sexist idiots, it’s also not that big of an issue and can easily be chalked up to being a very rare Human Imperium W
The imperium isn't sexist, it's xeno-racist. Even Abhumans have their place under the emperor's banner. Well. most of 'em. Regardless, the Imperium's gonna throw you into the meat grinder of either war, industry, or labyrinthine bureaucracy irrespective of your skin tones.
the imperium isnt sexist nor racist towards humans and humanoids, if you aquired merits in your job you will be promoted regardless of gender or background, the guy who wrote that (if its even real) made a bad joke or simply doesnt know shit about 40k and the same goes for you if you srsly think the imperium isnt progressiv for humans but racist for xenos
@@felixmustermann790 I admit I could’ve phrased better, however it is true there’s no current recorded cases of female space marines. Also while they’re progressive to humanity there’s a heavy class system. You’re also very clearly ignorant to Warhammer because the racism goes deep with psychers, ratlings, and ogryns. So yeah, the imperium is “racist” in it’s own way, though I’m sure there’s a different term when speaking on major physical and evolutionary traits that don’t quite warrant being considered a different species.
*"While yes it wouldn’t make sense for the imperium to willingly take in female soldiers in my opinion, because..."* ...because constant wars generate insane rate of attrition which has to be balanced out by _someone_ making babies and Imperium does not plan like our politicians, ie. for one term and a cushy job in private sector but for entire generations ahead and NOBODY gives a damn that Susan or some other Helen wants to be a soldier? Granted, the sheer number of people in the Imperium suggests real bottleneck is somewhere between interstellar transport capacity and production capacity for materiel, so yes, female soldiers are nothing grating even for that setting. Hilariously, though - worlds like Cadia, which are argued as the most optimal place to find women soldiers, should be the least likely to have them. After all, they are supposed to generate massive number of soldiers for campaigns abroad while, at the same time, securing EoT and having their planet periodically ravaged. Unless massive numbers of settlers -are- were brought in to balance out the bleeding (but not too many, because Cadian martial culture would be inevitably diminished), it makes absolutely no sense demographically unless there's some secret undercaste of Cadian women having 20+ babies in Mechanicum Baby Factory. Each _frontline_ soldier in a modern army requires 10+ other soldiers in typically non-combat roles (until Tyranids descend on a field hospital etc). This is where extreme majority of female soldiers should be placed by any war-obsessed regime*. In fact, this is precisely what Soviets were doing in their desperate years, freeing up low-tier male soldiers for the trenches. They ended up with a huge crater in their demographic charts that did not fully recover even today, but if they opted to send in women in the same capacity, that crater would become a Mariana Trench. And, heh, their war lasted barely few years... *)And any regime that can use trillions for its army. At that point even small difference in physical capacity between equally trained men and women becomes a large difference due to being multiplied by 1,00000000000 or something and minuscule number of exceptions is not worth logistical effort. Imperium should get away with doing this simply because of its low level of centralization, with various planets sending what is their own idea of a soldier and relatively low bar for humans compared with infinitely more valuable tanks, artillery or spaceships.

"Improbably diverse"
My brother in the Emperor, it's straight up mentioned that the Ultramarines Legion have an incredibly diverse skin tone in the Betrayer novel
Written by Aaron Demski, who has gone on record stating he is purposedly inserting woke themes in them.
@@TheBayzentbro touch grass for Christs sake.
@@TheBayzent The imperium is mainly xenophobic not racist. We will make any worthy aspirants into space marines. You be lucky to serve The Emperor as a servitor with that way of thinking
@TheBayzent you want an older one? There was a black Ultramarine being described in the Ventris novels from 2002 or is that too political for you.
Space Marine PR rep: "We are a unique and diverse org with a wide range of opinions."
Chiron: "I want to make *specific things* more deader."
Titus: "I want to efficiently make things more dead."
Leandros: ** 🐓 sucking noises**
Diverse? Of course they are. A son of guilliman isn't a clone of guilliman.
I love how they say improbable, using racial statistics derived from their singular country and applying to an entire different planet separated from earth that is furthermore 40,000 years into the future, as if the racial stats for their country are a universal truth and never change or fluctuate due to time or location.
How stupid can one be?
Canonically, they are the most diverse with the World Eaters being the second most diverse. Even outright stated in the book "Betrayer" released back in 2012 before this whole "woke" thing came out.
@@Big_E_Soul_Fragment 2012 isnt before the woke era lol.
And 40k novels being written by authors who openly admit to inserting their political biases, including woke and diversity bs, into their works is one of the vectors of wokeness in 40k that gave us such “beloved” gems as erda along with various pointless retcons that have damaged the mythos more then it enhanced it.
@@libertinarey even disregarding the novels, we still get black marines in the Dawn of War series and the old Space Crusade game back in 1992. Seriously, how hard is it to believe non-Caucasian Space Marines exist?
@@Big_E_Soul_Fragment You're looking at the criticism through a too narrow lense, while the criticism itself is misinformed.
It's not about marines of a certain shade existing or not, it's about marines of many shades existing in the same chapter.
It's true that most marine chapters recruit from only one world, and canonically, many worlds have been settled by racially homogenous groups looking to be left alone by the rest of humanity.
However, the Ultramarines recruit from all the worlds in their domain. It would be weird for them to not be as diverse as pictured in the game.
Curator forgot that the first game exhibited a Lieutenant Mira, a female officer in charge of Cadian forces on Graia.
Curator also doesn't know that there's an entire faction called the Sisters of Battle.
And that Ursarkar Creed's daughter, Ursulla, took his position as Castellan of the surviving Cadian troops after the fall of Cadia.
Gaunt's Ghosts displays women in combat roles as part of the Tanith First and Only.
There's also a saint that's a female, that's a fieldable character for the Sisters army lists.

This level of "Everything is Woke" is just as bad as its reverse "Everything is Racist/Sexist".
dont forget ciaphas cain has
1 a female inquisitor
2 a female commander of an entire regiment
3 a hinted at lesbian couple
4 had an entire regiment of women that got turned into a mixed one because both were eaten by bugs

Tbh though ursula creed feels dei in that she is a lamer version of her much cooler dad.
This guy is obviously a falseflagger, they did that during GG1, they have no subtlety when they try to pretend that they are part of the other side
That part of the rant is stupid. The Ultramarines having a black one is valid. I'm waiting for the mod to put a helmet on all of them to buy it.
Best part of the "diversity" is that despite their different appearances, the only serious tension between the men was in what way they wanted to make things more deader.
"I want to *furiously* make *specific* enemies more deader!"
"NO! We need to *efficiently* make things EQUALLY more deader!"
"YOU FOOLS!!! We need to make things more deader *by the book*"
And then they forgot what they were arguing about when big brother dreadnought showed up and started yeeting statues at birds.

I hate how people being anti-woke is getting to point of actual racism and sexism. I mean, yes, woke stuff is bad and should be rejected, but games having a black guy or a woman in them isn't woke on its own merit.
Its basically a see saw, people in trying to include diversity become racist and sexist and people trying to combat that also become racist and sexist.
Its an endless see saw of extremism. A result of the beneficial and harmful trait of the internet that you can join any group without needing to have your beliefs be a specific way as long as its vaguely aligned
Like it or not, that is exactly what is happening. Woke is now being used as a synonym for "this has black person/asian person/woman" in it.
DEI pandering and open racism has lead to normal people getting pissed of and unfortunately becoming racist themselves to those they see a the problem
"Getting" there? I'm sorry to break this too you but the anti-woke movement has been composed in it's most ardent ranks pretty mostly of racists and misogynists from the start. The acutal bigots latched onto it IMMEDIATELY as a way to push their views under the guise of 'fighting politcal correctness', it's the same kind of trash you see in hicks talking about 'protecting white culture' or 'traditional values' it's just coded language to avoid overtly outright stating your view because being that direct isn't acceptable. This 'movement' just becoming acutal overt racists was honestly assured. The entire core premise is basically 'diversity bad, unless done in a super specific way I agree with, but not TOO much of it'. Which is so absurdly easy to just fall into "diversity and none subservient women bad" in general it was doomed from the start.

That first guy must have NEVER read a single book set in 40K! Look I HATE DEI and all that crud.

Screw that guy, he makes us all look bad. Next thing you know the Act woMan is gonna get involved. LOL.
I'm not saying that the game is woke, but it's extremely rare to fin a men showing positive traits and a women showing negative traits. I've found some men who behaves decently, an all women. And the incluion of women stops with the traitors, then they're all men, and white.

@@shoulderpyro I'm a black guy but I hate it when they just put black people in stuff for the sake of diversity and browny points (see what I did there). Like that new Lara Croft show, or other crap that has forced inclusion
It seriously saddens me how angry and racists people get when they see any of their beloved characters portrayed by a race other than their own. Earth has hundreds of ethnicities. Earth is one planet. Ultramar has 500 habitable worlds, in a time where all ethnicities of today are likely far gone and there’s likely thousands of ethnicities throughout the Imperium, of all different genetic make ups, colors, melanin content, all adapted to the parts of the planets they grew up on in their solar systems. With genetic survival adaptations kicking in as soon as a few generations in some climates, it’s easier to imagine Gulliman’s sons and all of human kind being very adaptable and diverse in 40,000 AD. 10,000 years after the Space Marine chapters would definitely create new melanin contents within the ranks. I could go on but people really seemed shocked to find out all humans are still 99.9% genetically identical and that the skin color changes are merely climate adaptations, not genetic abnormalities like what were once called races by previous and less educated generations. Moral, race is not real; there is only the human race. Ethnicities are merely subjective experiences based more on family values passed through generations than skin color. The humans in the Grim Dark Future don’t see such stupid and outdated irrationalities as relevant to their cause. They only see humans and expendable resources in the grand scheme of the Emperor. So yes, Space Marines can be different ethnicities. Especially those from Macragge.
Erm.....
There are, every so often, anomalies within the status quo of how things typically work....
We title these anomalies the exception to the rule.
In war, and military service, it is exceedingly rare, but you can have female officers and troopers who can perform on par or maybe even better in some respects than their male counterpart.
Again, it's rare, ESPECIALLY in an aggressive combat situation.
Yeah that’s nice in all but that’s real life warhammer 40K is fictional so doesn’t have to abide by the real life example
@@chestermicgun So no one should complain about the lack of "diversity".
@@marducms what?
@@chestermicgun then diversity shouldn't matter either since it's a work of fiction....
Idk, call me crazy, but maybe, just maybe. If people aren't buying certain games or investing their time and energy into a product. It might just be because they just don't like the work of fiction being had?
I don't see SM2 as being woke at all.
It fits, and people like it.
Nobody is complaining about a lack of diversity. Its the other people who are complaining about the inclusion of diversity
damn.. that’s cool…

Let's go gambling!
I’ve played through the campaign three times and I’ve not seen a single thing in support of the Blue-Haired Pronoun Mafia. I’m really confused as to how this game is even remotely ‘woke’.
59.99€...
huh
hmmm
As someone who is greatly against the social-justice warriors in they gaming-industry i can only shake my head about this.
It is canonicly made stated that the guardsmen draft both women and men- basicly throwing everything they have one the enemy. Hell in they case of cadia the entire planets population were guardsmen.
I would get it if they had created a female space marine or male sister of battle, but they didnt.
There is a lot of from devs fucked up games out there but this isnt one.
Now I’m all against wholeness and all, but calling something “woke” because of a woman is just straight up sexist
Now I'm gor wholeness and all but calling something sexist and racist because of the lack of woman or black guy is in fact sexist and racist.
The same should be said for people who consider any racial of gender quotas in eg. developing a game or for anyone who puts "diversity" on a pedestal. Both are mired in the same garbage racists partake in: attaching a value for characteristics without any value. Can't have a racist without overly caring about skin color or a sexist without overly caring about gender. "But muh intentions" changes nothing and if you scrape off the paint off certain DEI advocates, funny things tend to come out, stuff like "original sin logic", "math is white supremacy" or "entitlement to -revenge- reparations". Almost as if this entire DEI schtick - and various nonsense before it - had always been a clown show, diverse only in the sense of diverse tactics of faking it, starting from seeking DEI loans.
As for garbage tier takes regarding what is woke" - welcome to reality where people disgusted by clown shows are numerous enough that both grifting from them and fanatical overcorrection become a thing simply due to large numbers and statistics. If you haven't noticed, this is how "equity" looks like, with pendulum barely moving towards the middle.
Wake me up when anti-woke attitude (and I mean mainstream version, not some weirdos trying to compete with puerile radicalism or outright astroturfers) is mandated by massive corporations, governments and colleges, with its lingo being pushed as "virtuous". Hilariously enough, some of it used to be, but packaged as progressive few decades ago - do you know what it preached? Being color-blind, which... can still be found at the foundation of rejecting modern DEI garbage with characters transparently existing only to fill a quota.
If thay guy was so upset about there being a single woman in a game, wait until he finds out about genshit
Gayshreck*
Woman is not cannon.
Atleast it isnt the femtodes. Yuck
I’m 100% Anti-Woke as well, but Warhammer Lore has 100% always included female combatants. This is a world of genetic enhancement and a completely lack of femininity, so logic can deduce that their female characters are much stronger and more capable than most. Cant project everything.
You only get to do this when they either:
1.) Come out of nowhere (looking at you Rey)
2.) Are Lore Inaccurate (Female Custodies fits this)
3.) Are more powerful than everyone else for no justifiable reason (looking at you Rey)
4.) undercut other characters to bring them up (looking at you again Rey)
5.) Are Rey from Star Wars
First guys a troll , or one of those wokies he's talking about trying to make normal people think that the anti woke is beyond unreasonable
Not even incells are that pathetic
You’d be surprised…
I see you haven't heard of Synthetic Man
As someone who openly hates woke trash like many of the crap we see today i can say SM2 was more true to Warhammer then actually resent GW stuff Saber did a fantastic job keeping it feeling well grim dark just wish the story was longer but due to casuals bitching games are now half the length because they couldn't finsh
Yeah it a little short, I guess it more because they needed to find place where it was okai to twist in females to try to avoid woke crap enough for their game to not be cancelled too much.
I mean yeah, there some woke crap in it but honnestly manageable, the multi origin of rhe Ultramarine is lore accurate, that pratically all graded are female ? Well weird and I have some incel feeling about it but at the same time, I prefer that than them making female astartes or custodes.
My poor, poor Warhammer.
On one side having girls in combat is woke.
On the other there were always female Custodians and whoever disagree is mysoginist.
I knew in the grim darkness of the 41st millennium there is only war, but didn't know there was war also OUT of Warhammer.
“Warhammer is woke”
If you think about it, low key always has been. It’s making almost everything the Imperium does out to be BAD, so people who agree in turn make themselves part of the joke, much like people who side with Homelander in The Boys or Joker in Joker. While yes it wouldn’t make sense for the imperium to willingly take in female soldiers in my opinion, because they’re all sexist idiots, it’s also not that big of an issue and can easily be chalked up to being a very rare Human Imperium W
The imperium isn't sexist, it's xeno-racist. Even Abhumans have their place under the emperor's banner. Well. most of 'em. Regardless, the Imperium's gonna throw you into the meat grinder of either war, industry, or labyrinthine bureaucracy irrespective of your skin tones.
the imperium isnt sexist nor racist towards humans and humanoids, if you aquired merits in your job you will be promoted regardless of gender or background, the guy who wrote that (if its even real) made a bad joke or simply doesnt know shit about 40k and the same goes for you if you srsly think the imperium isnt progressiv for humans but racist for xenos
@@felixmustermann790 I admit I could’ve phrased better, however it is true there’s no current recorded cases of female space marines. Also while they’re progressive to humanity there’s a heavy class system. You’re also very clearly ignorant to Warhammer because the racism goes deep with psychers, ratlings, and ogryns. So yeah, the imperium is “racist” in it’s own way, though I’m sure there’s a different term when speaking on major physical and evolutionary traits that don’t quite warrant being considered a different species.
*"While yes it wouldn’t make sense for the imperium to willingly take in female soldiers in my opinion, because..."*
...because constant wars generate insane rate of attrition which has to be balanced out by _someone_ making babies and Imperium does not plan like our politicians, ie. for one term and a cushy job in private sector but for entire generations ahead and NOBODY gives a damn that Susan or some other Helen wants to be a soldier?
Granted, the sheer number of people in the Imperium suggests real bottleneck is somewhere between interstellar transport capacity and production capacity for materiel, so yes, female soldiers are nothing grating even for that setting. Hilariously, though - worlds like Cadia, which are argued as the most optimal place to find women soldiers, should be the least likely to have them. After all, they are supposed to generate massive number of soldiers for campaigns abroad while, at the same time, securing EoT and having their planet periodically ravaged. Unless massive numbers of settlers -are- were brought in to balance out the bleeding (but not too many, because Cadian martial culture would be inevitably diminished), it makes absolutely no sense demographically unless there's some secret undercaste of Cadian women having 20+ babies in Mechanicum Baby Factory.
Each _frontline_ soldier in a modern army requires 10+ other soldiers in typically non-combat roles (until Tyranids descend on a field hospital etc). This is where extreme majority of female soldiers should be placed by any war-obsessed regime*. In fact, this is precisely what Soviets were doing in their desperate years, freeing up low-tier male soldiers for the trenches. They ended up with a huge crater in their demographic charts that did not fully recover even today, but if they opted to send in women in the same capacity, that crater would become a Mariana Trench. And, heh, their war lasted barely few years...
*)And any regime that can use trillions for its army. At that point even small difference in physical capacity between equally trained men and women becomes a large difference due to being multiplied by 1,00000000000 or something and minuscule number of exceptions is not worth logistical effort. Imperium should get away with doing this simply because of its low level of centralization, with various planets sending what is their own idea of a soldier and relatively low bar for humans compared with infinitely more valuable tanks, artillery or spaceships.
As a certain badger of russian origins once said "The Imperium isn't racist, I'm a black priest for Emperor's sake"
OMG BUT THAT IS SO WOKE !1!!! 🤡🤡🤡
