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.
Any change in the rules or adoption of new elements always comes with some friction and this is to be expected.
I'm far from hardcore or even close to being far from hardcore but my friends (And apparently their communities) are livid over this.
Hopefully it calms down to something akin to being settled again but they might give up the game altogether - Like I have done with Star Wars and Star Trek.
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).
With Doctor Who there is Big Finish and some reasonable enough novels which will keep the community going. But now Disney has is hooks into it that's not a certainty.
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.
