https://youtube.com/watch?v=0WVZlQW_pb8Man hating virgin childless dyke discourse miniatures form 5E D&D community already trying to push the narrative DEI and ESGs a conspiracy theory. Dungeons and dragons community on YouTube at a whole are damage controlling GW.
I'm not that surprised, considering the DnD fans have been on the Left ever since the Right falsely accused them of demon-worship in the 1980s. Spoony was the standard-bearer for them during the Youtube internet celebrity craze, and he fucking hated the Right. RPG companies like Bioware which were full of people who played DnD in their youth did things like sneak a lesbian romance into KOTOR, a Star Wars RPG game, and in their version of SW named Mass Effect, the ''tolerant'' politically-correct choices are considered the ''paragon'' good choice while being a human nationalist was considered ''renegade''. Mass Effect's wisest and most powerful race are the Asari, a race of lesbian space elves who reproduce without the need for a man, whose culture is all about tolerance and free love, with very few Asari embracing strict religious guidelines like the Justicars. The DnD culture has been infested with Leftists ever since the 1980s. Especially when that culture was persecuted by the Right on false charges, so it's easy for them to hate the Right and buy into the Leftist agenda.
But considering what that person says in the video, yes, this isn't the first time GW fucked the lore in the ass, this isn't the first time GW tried to gaslight the fans, and this isn't the first time retcons of this scale happened to 40K. People who are acting like this is something new ought to look at GW's history of treating both the fans and the lore. GW treated both like crap, refusing to create a solid canon for the lore, and constantly jacking up prices for the model kits. That's why it's so easy for GW to say ''there have always been female Custodes'', when the lore that says otherwise was never canon to begin with. Just fanon that they can throw away or keep at their whim.
If anything, the price hikes should piss the fans off more than the Fem-Custodes. That one mention of a Female Custodes can easily be written off as a practical joke played by the male Custodes, dressing up a Sister of Battle as one of their own for a prank. Or it can be ignored entirely by fans who write and make their own stories and continue to believe that all Custodes are men. But the price hikes are something that affects fans for real. That is, if they actually buy the stuff instead of just staying on the internet farming clicks from nerd outrage bait.
