Arch has been doing the rounds on this making a good point as how Amazon could be behind this:

With any character changes or introduction in 40k, GW follows up quickly with a new figurine to buy since that is their primary product.

Where are the female Custodian figurines?

It seems the fact they outright gaslit their customers has pissed off even the whales that buy their sets, if they aren't buying 3D printers by now, they are buying from those that HAVE 3D printers.

Even twenty years ago when I was still doing the tournament and painting circuit, a ton of people used bootleg and third party miniatures. Only time you didn't see it everywhere was official stuff since GW banned it from official play like the turbofags they are.

Outside of say, Golden Demon competition? Everyone was using knock offs.

Tbh I kbew a guy that's been featured in white dwarf and displayed in Nottingham Warhammer world.

His entire army is from chyna. Either the stuffs so good now GeeDubs can't tell the difference or as I suspect, he was sucking off the judges.

If they openly took bribes in the 90s I can't imagine it got better.

Were they any good, though? The 3D printed stuff? Or are we talking Chinese imitation from actual factories?

This would still be diversity pandering and bad.

To be honest, the greater importance GW has given Sisters of Battle, female inquisitors, how every Eldar main character these days tends to be female -- They're already pandering hard.

I'd much rather they play their hand this way, it clarifies the situation.

There's good reason to be livid, because Leftists don't care about canon in franchises. Woke infestation basically signals the end of the franchise as we've seen with Star Wars, Star Trek, Dr. Who, Witcher, Marvel, etc.

There's no point in caring about the IP if the rules of the IP can be changed on a whim based on some Leftist's personal feelings.

The correct action in this time is for fans to simply draw a line in the sand. No more GW products, no more GW books or lore are canon (most of the recent stuff is shite anyway since they decided that Belisarius Cawl can just magick do anything with no rhyme or reason).

Doctor Who can & should just retcon all of the stuff beyond David Tennant or Matt Smith (take your pick).

That being said, it's not going to happen officially and I haven't seen much fan effort to salvage it away from the ongoing vandalism. So as a franchise this one looks like it's probably dead forever.

GW don't appear great at their own lore so they'd never come up with a plausible reason.

I kind of liked the Primaris marines purely because they advance the story and correct the power creep of SM's getting overshadowed. Their implementation was garbage though, my head canon is that "Bellisarius Cawl is just a cover story"

Already I've seen enough unified rhetoric from various NPCs on forums that it's clear that a new update dropped; From 'toxic fandom', to 'they're just tourists', to 'ragebating youtubers trying to get clicks' to 'warhammer always had retcons'- it's a positive cavalcade of confession through projection.

I really fucking hate these people. The amount of trannies shrieking about 'mommy custodes slaughtering space marines' is going to be fall-down insufferable.

'warhammer always had retcons'

This. I don't even follow Warhammer news much and only know some of the surface level stuff, but for the news channels covering it, there is a non-negligible amount of individuals who I see that keep saying that line you quoted above.

It lets me know that the rot has infested enough of the fanbase that gatekeeping at this point will not happen in any regard.

1d6chan is pretty much defending this bullshit, a new mirror/fork of 1d4chan is needed to replace them.

1d6chan is pretty much defending

I'm starting to think your threshold for "defending" is anything other than ignoring it entirely.

"Well, it was inevitable that the usual suspects would turn 40k into another battleground for their shit-flinging."

-1d6's first sentence about the incident.

has created civil arguments on both sides

the femstodes one unleashed a storm of skub across the Internet

40k had become another battleground of the culture war

How 1d6chan describes it.

There is an aggressive party made up of fags, hags, and trannies who are fueled entirely by spite, and a defensive party who just wanted to be left alone. It's not a spontaneous passive voice battleground with two equivalent sides.

(Shrug)

I wasn't talking to you. I commented because Ableist keeps getting in fights and losing.

Your opinion and the prevailing consensus of 1d6 is of no concern to me (as long as they steer clear of my stuff about Alternity). What fascinates me is Able's inability to learn how to communicate with others.

They literally temp blocked me when I asserted the alt-right is fictional in the talk section of the /pol/ article.

You immediately called Walrus a moron for saying something true which you disagreed with. If you haven't figured it out by now, your angry marine Don Quixote schtick just doesn't work.

the alt-right is fictional

We here ARE alt-right. You know that.

It hasn't begun, its been raging off and on for decades at this point. It's only a few years ago they've begun changing up tactics.

I see the theory that Amazon forced it for the show, and it seems plausible and even likely.

But it also feels like an attack on Henry Cavill. He's a Custodes player and has stated that his greatest wish is to play Constantin Valdor. Everything Cavill has touched has been ruined by Hollywood and woke right under his nose. Got to wonder at this point if there isn't someone who really hates him.

The Witcher Netflix project was woke before he signed on. He got to see all those trashy woke scripts, he met the (screeching harpy) feminist show runner and he knew of the reputation of Netflix and its diversity strangulation-contracts.
