I do not see much woke stuff related to it, other then "journalists" complaining about female and black representation.
Does this mean it is going to be next?
Got me wondering after find out this anti-white racist, Christian hating dude is a writer on Space Marine 2:
Think about it for a moment. Imagine you are an anti-christian, white-hating wokefaggot 'fortunate' enough to be writing 40k content.
What exactly can you do? Portray the white supersoldiers as evil psychopathic mega-racist retard zealots who are ignorant bigots that don't understand anything around them and just murder their way across the galaxy?

It's like trying to shame ISIS by pointing out their cruelty and misogyny. It doesn't work, because they're fucking PROUD of it.
This isn't to say 40k is immune, but rather that they will have to subvert the very top of the company before they can meaningfully effect the fluff.
Insert sympathetic portrayals of slaanesh and his worshipers?
That'll just make it even more based when they get brutally annihilated.
I forget which story its in, but there's a scene with a female Tau telling a marine about how harmless and defenseless and peaceful she is, beseeching him for mercy, asking him if his god would be proud of him for such barbarity.
The marine simply replies "Yes." and crushes her into a pulp under his boot.
I say 'female Tau', she is actually referred to as 'The creature'.
On the note of the Tau, they even retconned them to be more in line with the rest of the factions.
OG Tau were the closest thing that 40k had to a "good guy", where while they had some issues, the Tau didnt really have anything screaming out that they were evil. And everyone hated that. They were already pushing it with the very clean, Gundam-esque looks, and now they have nothing evil? Where is the fun in that?!
So they got reworked to where they sterilize all non-Tau races that "join" them, their caste system is played up more to make some of them into inferiors, and they explicitly stated that the Ethereals are brainwashing everyone into compliance for their own political agendas (a la The Prophets from Halo). And that made the Tau actually more popular because they now fit better into the lore and the world.
How exactly are you going to subvert that?
GW's sins continue to be greed and incompetency with handling their product line. But compared to Woke subversion, these are preferable sins.
