I assume 40k is a majority male hobby. Is there a push to get more women into it like you saw with comics, sci-fi, and gaming?

Nope as it's not by the makers of 40K, GW (Games Workshop). It was a unaffiliated LORE channel that tried to make this argument. It could be a push but Arch points it out himself, they have NO influence while Arch is feared by GW to the point of blacklisting.

GW itself has been pressured by the woke to make female space marines A LOT but have refused to do so as they know that's the one line that if crossed turns EVERY customer they have against them.

And why die on that hill when the Sisters of Battle are a cooler version of any Female space marines they could've come up with?

Oh so there are already female warriors? Then why are they pushing for the space marines?

"You have male space marines, why can't you have FEMALE space marines!? What are you a misogynist?!' = every fucking argument leftists/feminists make as why we need female counterparts to every MALE group in fantasy and sci fi but no same treatment for any all female group.

It is as dumb as I made it sound...

Its even dumber for another reason:

Not only are there already female warriors in the Imperium, being a Space Marine is about the only thing they cant be!

They can be soldiers, commanders, and Generals in the Imperial Guard.

They can be sailors, commanders, and Captains in the Imperial Navy.

They are the only ones who can be Sisters of Battle, who through the power of raw faith and willpower are on par with Space Marines on the power scale.

They are the only ones who can be Sisters of Silence, which are an elite unit of soldiers specially adapted to being absolutely OP against psychic users and Daemons due to a genetic mutation that lets them easily cancel out their abilities.

They can be Commissars, Assassins', and other specialist people for the Imperium.

They can be Inquisitors for the Ecclesiarchy, and some of the most famous/important in lore Inquisitors are women.

Literally the only thing that women can not be is a Space Marine or a Custodies (which are just ultra-jacked Marines anyway).

If you ask me, it is because many of the people making these demands are newbs who know nothing of the lore, so some of them probably dont even know SoB are a thing, and want Marines since they are the poster boys.

As for Templin: Sad. Just Sad. I am probably not going to unsub from them, and I still like a lot of their work. But this will absolutely leave a bad taste in my mouth going forward.

Seemingly to make the point that anything that doesn't bow down to these people will be destroyed by them.

It's so male 90% of the women are trannies. And 90% of the bio females are insufferable libs. If you find a based Warhammer girl put a ring on her

Not so much push as in Henry Cavill likes it, and the miniatures look cool, so a lot of women suddenly want in.

To say this wasn't brutal, is to call the Anglo-Zanzibar War a decades long conflict.

I think the worst thing for the Templin guy was Arch predicted EVERY argument extremely quickly and even got referenced in a butt hurt way in their video.

Hopefully this kickback is what's needed to not go deeper down the rabbit hole, but the fact they made this video doesn't give me high hopes. It's a shame because they did good work previously but this was an EXTREMELY bad way to start 2023.
