I thought for the most part 40k had great gatekeeping
It did for a while, but it's been slipping for quite some time, at least as far as I know. Haven't kept super close eye on things, but that was my understanding.
It's also a big target precisely because it was gatekeeping. The locusts saw something that was resisting them, so they had to keep attacking.
I mean, the idea of people being allowed to enjoy something. Problematic.
40k has great gatekeeping from the fans on the ground who play it. Both in terms of being insane extremists and the sheer level of autism needed to actually play the game.
The company and the secondary fans who only enjoy it for the "themes" and art? Have been woke for years.
It's not that complex, Sure the normies need a referee to handhold them and keep track of the rules, but get them one of those and get them to play a couple small scale battles and thinks should work out xD
Tbh I know two people who are really into 40k and one is full blown NPC and the other is NPC lite. Both have played for years. Perhaps exceptions that don't disprove the rule.
They couldn't get in through the fandom side, due to the high costs of the miniatures. They got in through the company itself, so the rot is coming from the top now.
Is that how D&D was corrupted?
Yep, Gygax's widow went woke.
How else do you explain abandoning THAC0?
The only other franchise I can think of with great gate keeping is blue archive and I doubt anyone can overlook some of the more degenerate aspect of the fandom. 40k has been infiltrated for a while now the skin walkers are already in.
Never heard of blue archive. Will check later
You will probably not like it, it's very Japanese based on a gacha game and full of degenerates. But it seems to be immune, gatekeeps itself.
