Warhammer has dropped language that says Space Marines are only male. This article praises it.
To answer the question I had by a few others who thought I meant Custodes. It's Space Marines and it's getting praise from lefty ville.

It was obvious this was coming once Henry Cavill was announced to be bringing a Warhammer project to... is it Amazon?
As AgnosticTemplar rightly pointed out, a project of that scale and that amount of attention will make it properly mainstream. And they can't have the ultra-masculine elements of it standing unmolested.
They will need girlboss lesbians in there somewhere to keep the demoralisation campaign running strong. Most normies won't know the difference and will just say "iT's cAnOn!" and follow along with it.
Truly the words of the Aristocrats.
Will get the 'Halo' and 'The Witcher' treatment. The Space Marines will be turned into female-gaze eye candy and insufferable female characters will be introduced to 'inspire' women and girlboss the shit out of the show.
They're gearing up to try and take Warhammer mainstream, which means sanding down some of the rough edges. The announcement that the super secret plan of the Gray Knights is to force the Emperor to stay on the Golden Throne is setting up a likely civil war, where the 'fascistic' elements of the Imperium are likely to be defeated and a new age of relative progress and cooperation is established.
The Tau will suddenly be black.
Be funnier if they say every single Kriegsperson is actually African under their gas masks
Operation Hide Behind the Negros?
The rough edges are the entire reason for the franchise to even exist though. Without the grimdark...it's nothing at all.
This is so retarded that it has to be malicious.
Just a matter of time until we get a LGBTWTFBBQ rainbow chapter.
Slaanesh approves.
And they’ll make Slaanesh a good guy/girl/theymon.
Ship it with Khorne
Khornites take ecstatic joy in bloodshed. Slaaneshi also are into bloodplay. Easy match made in the warp.
There is that Fulgrim clone, they'll have him break free from Trazyn the Infinite eventually, I'm sure.
I'm so sick of this excuse coming out in fantasy and sci-fi.
"You don't like <stupid new thing> in <franchise>? Well, <franchise> has <impossible thing> and <other impossible thing>, therefore <stupid new thing> is fine!"
Verisimilitude is key in good fantasy/sci-fi but that doesn't mean anything goes.
Ah yes, the good ol' "dragons can't abide by the square-cube law, therefore wheelchair rainbow-ians with support puppies make logical ruins-raiders."
put a chick in it and make it lame and gay... how did south park went from that to trying to diss trump??
Put the meme quote in its complete context, and you'll see this was no 180. It wasn't Kathleen Kennedy who said that line, it was the alternative universe version of her that looks, sounds, and acts like Cartman. The real Kathleen Kennedy was instead depicted as a nice, reasonable woman, and Cartman is used as the representative of evil toxic manbabies all complaining about the new Star Wars and Indiana Jones movies.
Yeah, Matt and Trey completely softballed Kathleen Kennedy, gave her full sympathies, and attacked the fans who recognized the trash when they saw it.
Compare that to "Free Hat" and "The China Probrem," both of which completely, savagely, and unapologetically eviscerated George Lucas and Steven Spielberg for the changes made to their old movies and how horrible "Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" was, to the point of having them both rape Indiana Jones, and you can see Matt and Trey are now completely indoctrinated into the Hollywood propaganda machine they claimed to be against.
wait a second.. so the star wars acolyte.. has only women group. hmmmm HMMMM.
Space Marines with lightsabers confirmed!
