From what I’ve seen, the younger players that do exist. Generally play using programs like TableTopSimulator. So the only money GamesWorkshop make from them if any is the pdf of the rule books. Assuming they don’t manage to get a hand on those rule books floating around for free.
The companies for sure are hemorrhaging money since their policies are driving away long-time customers which are essentially their only customers these days. Most of the younger generation have little to no interest in tabletop games, so the industry is currently being kept afloat by old school vets that now have jobs and the disposable income to spend and play these overpriced games.
With 40K showing signs of going woke, there was a huge push in the community to remind them that 3D printing is a thing and if GamesWorkshop wanted to be stupid and go woke. People would simply start 3D printing their models while continuing to play the game.
You've probably seen some of the articles about how in D&D for instance they've removed races since Orcs are black people apparently. Shit like that. If you go on the Discord servers they're mainly being run by commies so anything not inline with their philosophy earns you a ban.
Fuck celebrities in general. We need to go back to how the Romans used to view actors.
Actors throughout history have been considered lower class, even often associated with prostitutes. This is true not only in the West, but also in the East.
For example, the Empress Theodora was an actress and prostitute before marrying Justinian, and her history was used against her by political enemies.
In Japan, the Kabuki performers were also often available as prostitutes to patrons.
Given the association between prostitutes and actors it would make sense that actors were looked down upon by more cultured society.
Honestly, I can't think of any definitive instances in my life where I was discriminated against based on my race.
If I had to say, it's probably when I was in Los Angeles when I was trying to get a table at a Korean restaurant. They claimed it was full then some Korean showed up and got a table before me. Funny thing is, I'm half Japanese. So that's maybe the only time.
When I was in the military and stationed in the South. I was a bit worried at first since before leaving everyone back in L.A. would tell me how I'd get lynched, mocked etc. None of that ended up happening. In fact during my time in the South, I dated mostly white women and no one really seemed to care. It was just normal to them. In L.A. the race of your partner somehow matters and people tend to comment about it. In the end I ended up marrying a white woman. And again the only people to comment about her race are people in L.A. after I moved back there.
The military as in the actual grunts, no. They're loyal to the US as a nation not to politicians.
The ones that do this kind of shit are officers who play the political game and basically throw their men and their morals under the bus in order to win brownie points with congressmen.
This is why my Company Commander straight up told me that he had no intention of being anything more than a Captain. Because he saw what happens to people once they get promoted past Captain. It becomes less about being good at your job and more about fucking other people over to make yourself look better.

Social engineering. It affects all of us, in many ways we don't even notice. For instance, why did you say "European whites"?
Is there such a thing as a non-white European? No, there isn't.
There are people who aren't white that are citizens of European nations, but that doesn't make them European.
Small stuff like that, it chips away at the core of what is real.
I don't think they understand that the more you make them out to be this special group of people the more people will resent them.
Now people who never even thought anything about them will be apprehensive about them because simply talking about them could lead to potential jail time.
It's like the whole MeToo bullshit, I've spoken to so many business owners that have basically admitted that they're less likely to hire a young woman, even more so if she's attractive. Why take the risk?
So worse than nothing, they covered for him.
