So there was the tranny writer. But they said she was fired and the lore was respected.
Ive seen nothing to indicate either way. But im interested if there was any dessecration and what it was.
Anybody reviewed it thats trustworthy?

The biggest potentially woke things are the female guardsman lieutenant (already was female in the first game but this one is indian) and a space marine being black male. The first is a very minor part and isnt overbearing and the second is really just how much of a lore purist you are since almost all depictions of ultramarines has been white male but there is nothing lore wise disqualifying a black male from being in the chapter.
As far as woke goes it seems they did a good job purging the hell out of it because at worst there are only casting choices remaining.
For anyone that doesn't know 40k, female guardsman are a normal part of the setting. Unfortunately the one from the first game was way hotter.
Good to know. I'm not a 40k fan but saw someone's playthrough and was cringing at that bossy woman telling the big men what to do. That said just because it's part of the lore it doesn't make her any less annoying.
Thankfully it's only a few missions.
She wasn't bossing the Space Marines around. She doesn't have that authority, she was providing information based on the situations they are in.
I looked at the video again and it's the woman named Major Sarkaana I'm recalling. She was definitely bossing someone around but you're right it wasn't the Space Marines, just some other slightly smaller grunts.
The meat grinder does not discriminate.
Shouldn’t (the circumstances around) a meat grinder discriminate more? Anyone in a constant, multigenerational, existential war like the Imperium is naturally compelled to start thinking about their reproductive bottlenecks.
It's 40K. I highly doubt anybody breeds normally any more. Those motherfuckers would totally be using dystopian genetic vats to buffer their ranks.
Female guardsmen are absolutely not a normal part of the setting. They didn't even have miniatures till last year. In imperial guard fleets the women are too busy having and raising babies to fight on the front line. This was a core part of the imperial guard lore as casualties are high for them and this was a major way in which they replenished their numbers. Females being just as numerous as men in the guard is a new woke retcon from games workshop.
Let's remember the ultrasmurfs had a half human half eldar in the chapter when the lore wasn't watered down slop. A black guy isn't that much of a stretch.
