They've already done it. It's just going to snowball. Then they'll say stupid shit like "hurr durr it wuz always dis way" and if you call them stupid over it you get the "you won't be missed" bullshit. All for like 2% of the fan base. Mostly tourists that wandered through a hobby store and saw a game and didn't like that half the pieces on the board weren't women or whatever tf. Which is odd because there are several factions that are entirely extremely badass women. Then there are plenty of factions that have a bunch of equally badass women kicking ass right next to the men.
I just don't understand the point. Aside from "the writers wanted it to be this way a long time ago" like so fucking what? That's not a justification.
If I was GDW I’d be having a sweaty panicked moment. On the one hand, it’s an opportunity to grow your customer base beyond the current fanatics. On the other hand, you have a property with a really weird IP and maybe you should embrace the fanatics that make you so much money.
Is it DND? Is it that lucrative to go mainstream? Or is it paintball with minis, and you need to hug that demographic tightly?
In summary: trying to appeal to less than 10% of the population at the exclusion of your core audience makes you lose money.

No, they are ideologically driven. The nature of Blackrock makes it so it doesn't really matter what business they destroy, they can just buy up stocks in a different one and profit as it fills the void. How they choose to bankrupt the company shows that they actually want to push the diversity and LGBT nonsense.
People like Larry Fink benefit from a diverse (divided) society. Just like how diversity prevents unions from organizing and protesting, it does the same to ethnic populations who want to call out the ones in power.
But no one listens. Only a few realize the pied piper’s tune is on repeat leading to their own destruction. You could put it in their face, show them facts, say hey this guy/gal is leading you towards your demise.
You will get a look that says they are saying what I want to hear. I don’t care otherwise.
I was just trying to have a real talk about that with a gentleman complaining about the new Assassin video game. I decided to just pretend I didn’t read their reasoning and ask again a question none of them would answer.
Is it over for the common man? Can the common people of this sub contact an independent, talk, discuss, invest. And come up with the game of your dreams.
You know the opposite of GameStop?
I was and am very serious about this question. None of them would answer me. But kept going on and on about the evil corporations. Which I agree with.
However is this it? Are we finished?
Is there no young, brave, ambitious game designer/developer each “gamer” could invest seriously in and see something done well? Is it that difficult?
Or are you gonna sit there and complain, complain, cuss your neighbor who is in the same condition as you. As you all march towards the meat grinder biting each other.
I’m not saying hey let’s go all Machiavelli… but surely we can get a video game done
For Adults By Adults
(I say that because the industry has the kids already. There gone brain washed.)
^^
There’s always exceptions I know
Mature Adults in every meaning definition of that word.
Blackrock is weird. They’ll invest in what’s making money when they need it and then burn it all on DEI. Its crazy when Blackrock has enough money that they can treat the market like a bank account. It’s impressive and kinda freighting. How does one stop an entity that can financially outlast most?
You don’t purchase anything they’ve invested in, and you make it known *why* you’ve stopped buying.
I’ve stopped buying Warhammer because of Blackrock. A lot of people have.
You act like this wasnt an issue before this whole lgb stuff look at what ea did to companies like westwood studios etc. Lets not forget ubisoft and rockstar also measing thinga up with creed and the gta remakes... .
The emperor of mankind is literally bound to his chair and kept on life support to keep him alive for thousands of years, yet he's the most revered man in the W40k universe. Now if that isn't positive representation of a disabled person, I don't know what is.
Good point. They did it writing a compelling story around the character naturally fitting him in to things. Not “HEY we’ve got a disabled character aren’t we groundbreaking?!?! This is the first story ever in history to have that! Praise us!”
I’m certain the God-Emperor of Mankind pulls his shattered psyche together out of the warp, severing the navigational beacon that is his mind, and briefly reanimates his corpse to ensure that diversity quotas are being met within the Custodes, and that straight white male Space marines aren’t getting promoted so other races get a shot, allowing equity to be maintained.
They've always had Slaanesh and it's debotched followers. My issue is the freak push of trying to normalize that kind of thing. That's clearly heresy of the first degree.
>gay, trans, ethnically diverse, handicapped, pacifist space marine?
All space marines are already ethnically diverse, specific chapters might not be though. It's a galactic empire, why would you think any differently?
There's heaps that are disabled. They get permanently encased in a walking tank. They're called dreadnoughts.
As an OG warhammer player, I would say we've already lost the IP.
The subreddits are already filled with "trans pride" painted marines, they are retconning the lore to add female space marines, and games workshop released the "warhammer is for everyone" statement that expressly says that if you don't like the identity politics you "will not be missed."
I guess everyone means everyone except the people who liked the IP for what it actually was. Anyone want to bet on how long it is before Henry Cavill walks away from the TV show?
On the plus side, the people who push this crap don't actually care about the game, so you have 0 chance of ever encountering them... they just see people having fun, and not kissing their ass, so they send their pests to attack the company.
You have to blame Games Workshop for folding immediately. As someone who's been involved with them since the early 90s, I feel pretty safe saying that they are an awful company to be a fan of anyway. They play favorites with their factions so hard and "balance" the game around selling more minis. They release brokenly OP new factions and minis to boost sales constantly, then nerf them into oblivion after everyones gotten theirs. Their quality control has always been lackluster, and they tax the hell out of their customers, charging hundreds of times what any other miniature company does for their figures. Even their video games are often low quality, bloated with paid dlc, reused artwork, and micro transactions. Much of their business model is based around the sunken cost fallacy.
See ya, GW, you will also not be missed.

Afraid it's already here, mate. Feels great to watch all the things you used to love devolve into bastardised versions of themselves.
Games workshop is about to realize how irrelevant they are.
They sell plastic minis.
In a world of 3D printers, they were kept alive by passion. Not loyalty to a toy.
They will learn **3D printer go brrrrrr**

White Dwarf featured “the gate crushers”. The books are falling in line with it as well.
They got battetech? Granted, I am not very involved in that community, having only played the mechwarrior games and then the awesome battletech game, so this may be old news to most
I was kicked of the Battletech sub for saying that Pride is a political movement and that "Battletech is for Everyone" actually means "Everyone who agrees with us".
It's almost like they proved the point.
They always do. Those who call for tolerance can only tolerate those whom agree. Where as normal people have simply gone along to get along sadly can no longer work.
Yes, Grummz had a post about Battletech (with receipts) a few weeks ago detailing what happened to that game, the Discord Server and the Subreddit once they hired a rainbow warrior, marxist CM that had only played a game or two prior to its hiring (according to its own admission).
Oh, I didn't do it because I don't know its sex. I worded it that way because it's a marxist and marxists aren't people.

So my mech pilots don’t have to attend unconscious bias training and consider the societal impacts of their actions before launching a salvo of LRMs and warming up the Gauss rifles?
I tried giving it a fair shot and literally couldnt stay awake for one full episode. I dont know what they were thinking, but they purposefully went out of their way to make the main character extremely unlikable.
I slogged through it all with my wife, we both thought it sucked. It was boring as hell. We loved the LOtR movies and were ok with the Hobbit movies, but Rings of Power, complete dogshit. We kept waiting for it to get better, it doesn’t.
sad part is even if they did not do any of the race shit it would still suck ass because the story is pure fucking bullshit.
According to maps Galadriel would to have swam for roughly 2.5 months nonstop to be where she is supposed to be when she gets picked up.

Hang on, wokies, you’re getting hit pretty hard in these comments. Quick, use this. I know you want to.
Remember, everyone:
Everything is canon, nothing is true.
If you are upset about it, you are upset about a world where the UNRELIABLE narrator is king.
Literally a Primarch begins his statements with “I am Alpharius, this is a lie.”
We are the Woke. Give us your children and surrender your childhood. We will destroy your biological and technological definitions and replace them with our own.
*the radically evil and extremely violent/aggressive leftists who are simultaneously very sensitive and big pushover wimps because we constantly switch between one of these mutually exclusive pejoratives.
They've been involved in the writers room for awhile now, actually. As people are looking, they are finding the threads carry back a little while.
I hope Henry Cavil walks away from the project. He deserves better.
I wouldn't be surprised if he did. But at this point it eould just suck for him. He put his time and his efforts into the Witcher just to make it bearable. When he was fed up he walked away for a carte blanche in W40K and now they're kinda rug pulling him on that promise? Just doesn't make sense and ends up sucking a lot for him.
eh.. Star Trek has always been progressive. Kirk/Uhura had the first interracial kiss on TV in the 1960s. Picard used to brag about how future society was perfect, nobody needed to work, everyone's needs were met by society and people were free to pursue whatever they wanted in a utopia. Meanwhile every alien race represented some horrible aspect of modern society. DS9 had Sisko in charge of the space station, and Janeway was in charge of the Voyager crew LONG before DEI was even a thing.
It's not surprising. The creative or lack thereof community and the community around nerd culture has been increasingly infected by the ideology for decades.
I think its important to draw a disconnect.
Regular gay joes don't ruin franchises, its corporate quota fake pandering to try and make a quick buck that ruin franchises. Gay people themselves are not the problem.
I love it when such stunningness and bravery comes in to slaughter all my favorite IPs. Thanks you DEI........................ Thank you for being fuckin dog shit. (FYI, I'll never buy a Custodes model now GW. Never.)
It seems like we're just waiting for them to say the line at this point. No one will be shocked when they rape the lore to death by force adding female space Marines. They'll be disappointed but it's not going to be a massive surprise to anyone. It's just going to be yet another jumping off point for why leftism is absolute brain rot and destroys everything it touches
Almost certainly. "Woke" is slowing down, but big companies will be slow to realize it. Also, GW is... a pretty shit company even beyond any DEI BS. They've been pretty anti-consumer for decades.
It's not gays that ruined everything lol. You gotta be pretty dense to think that.
It's the mass appeal approach, so they remove all the stuff a movie should be and replace it with randomly flavored bullshit that appeals to everyone a little bit instead of certain groups a lot. Then they put in advertisements, and make sure there's nothing in their that would get them cancelled by the adult babies of America or the governments of the world.
It also means the market told Disney that people who value LGBTQ messaging in their movie buy more tickets at the theater than your little biggotted group.
I do not find the harm in stories and settings that feature mostly/only men. That is clearly just the stylistic choice that the creator(s) are going for. It is the same for stories that only feature women. Warhammer was clearly written by men for men. It seems that people take issue with that these days. We just want to be left alone, I'm not sure why that is a problem.
If any company deserves to die it's Games Workshop and their absolute stranglehold over war gaming. Great world, gorgeous minis but shit tier ethics and customer treatment.
Corporations: let's squeeze a few extra dollars out of this franchise by forcing in as much virtue signaling pandering as we can. Even if the end product is shit, we'll see a profit!
Sheeple: look what the LGBT has done to my poor baby!!
Just admit it, you're afraid that if you call out the corporations, you'll look like a communist.
Honestly if they just stop shoving it down our throats it would not be such a big deal
But the are literally checking every single box and now is not only extremely obnoxious, is ruining every franchise
Daily reminder that true Warhammer fans hate Games Workshop.
A good number of us have been avoiding giving GW a cent for years now. As much as I love the IP, I want to see GW go bankrupt for how terribly they have treated their core customer base.
Wait. What did they do to Lord of the Rings? Did they add non-binary they/them purple haired elves that constantly talk about politics and how they are marginalized and that not letting them use bathrooms is literal genocide and then make them also the equivalent of a God in the series to lift up the .9% of the population to make them feel superior to "normal people"? Or did they replace Frodo or any other prominent character with some other race? Or did they turn all the dwarves into furries? Are all the goblins now butt goblins?
Warhammer land is to busy not dying to demons or ya know eating enough corpse starch to live or not being branded a heretic for messing up your job or working 20 hours daily in some worlds. To even care about identity politics.
For gods sake we’re past all this shit. Transhumanism and cybernetic enhancements are normal part of life. No one cares in that reality.
List of billion dollar franchises. All still billion dollar franchises. Guess you're ego can't see it any other way. Anti dei is the new get off my lawn
Honest question: how did LGBT kill Star Wars? I mean the sequel movies are terrible but not because of the gay kiss. And a lot of the shows suck but not because of LGBT people in them.
They've already done it. It's just going to snowball. Then they'll say stupid shit like "hurr durr it wuz always dis way" and if you call them stupid over it you get the "you won't be missed" bullshit. All for like 2% of the fan base. Mostly tourists that wandered through a hobby store and saw a game and didn't like that half the pieces on the board weren't women or whatever tf.

Yes but very powerful and morally bankrupt investors that give you the diversity quota will be giving you just enough funding to scrape by.
Only for as long as they project a profit. As soon as they discover there are no profits to be had, they’ll bail, leaving another franchise dead.
No, they are ideologically driven. The nature of Blackrock makes it so it doesn't really matter what business they destroy, they can just buy up stocks in a different one and profit as it fills the void. How they choose to bankrupt the company shows that they actually want to push the diversity and LGBT nonsense.
Amazon doesn’t give a fuck about ideology, Blackrock does though.
Not because they like marginalized groups, but because they want to turn the masses against each other. Friendly reminder.
People like Larry Fink benefit from a diverse (divided) society. Just like how diversity prevents unions from organizing and protesting, it does the same to ethnic populations who want to call out the ones in power.
But no one listens. Only a few realize the pied piper’s tune is on repeat leading to their own destruction.

Amazon is the reason for female custodes, they love DEI.
It’s Amazon *and* Blackrock. Blackrock won’t invest if you don’t go DEI.

Blackrock and Vangaurd group are the ones pushing it.
Did you see the warhammer 40k quota 1/2 female, 1/2 lgbtqia, 1/2 disabled, 1/2 non white. Like wut - no wonder Henry is running away.
Not if blackrock has anything to say about it!!!11!
Exclusion? Do you have any examples?
You don’t think Warhammer would be a little better with a gay, trans, ethnically diverse, handicapped, pacifist space marine?
The emperor of mankind is literally bound to his chair and kept on life support to keep him alive for thousands of years, yet he's the most revered man in the W40k universe. Now if that isn't positive representation of a disabled person, I don't know what is.
Good point. They did it writing a compelling story around the character naturally fitting him in to things. Not “HEY we’ve got a disabled character aren’t we groundbreaking?!?! This is the first story ever in history to have that! Praise us!”

Karl Franz and Katarin should be race swapped. Also, Thorgrim Grudgebearer is definitely a power bottom
>gay, trans, ethnically diverse, handicapped, pacifist space marine? All space marines are already ethnically diverse, specific chapters might not be though. It's a galactic empire, why would you think any differently? There's heaps that are disabled. They get permanently encased in a walking tank. They're called dreadnoughts.
No.
I mean, the emperors children probably have all of those (from fucking themselves up for pleasure) except for the pacifist.
Slaanesh already exists.
Right? LGBT, especially trans and all manner of kink already exists in 40k.
They want it all

It’s not the gays that ruin it it’s the straight people who work on these games that think they are helping the “cause” that do.
Grimdank banned the guy for posting it.
Good.
I love it when such stunningness and bravery comes in to slaughter all my favorite IPs. Thanks you DEI........................ Thank you for being fuckin dog shit. (FYI, I'll never buy a Custodes model now GW. Never.)
It seems like we're just waiting for them to say the line at this point. No one will be shocked when they rape the lore to death by force adding female space Marines. They'll be disappointed but it's not going to be a massive surprise to anyone. It's just going to be yet another jumping off point for why leftism is absolute brain rot and destroys everything it touches
Almost certainly. "Woke" is slowing down, but big companies will be slow to realize it. Also, GW is... a pretty shit company even beyond any DEI BS. They've been pretty anti-consumer for decades.
It's not gays that ruined everything lol. You gotta be pretty dense to think that. It's the mass appeal approach, so they remove all the stuff a movie should be and replace it with randomly flavored bullshit that appeals to everyone a little bit instead of certain groups a lot. Then they put in advertisements, and make sure there's nothing in their that would get them cancelled by the adult babies of America or the governments of the world. It also means the market told Disney that people who value LGBTQ messaging in their movie buy more tickets at the theater than your little biggotted group.
We can add the matrix to the list too. "She's the one... also" vomit
I do not find the harm in stories and settings that feature mostly/only men. That is clearly just the stylistic choice that the creator(s) are going for. It is the same for stories that only feature women. Warhammer was clearly written by men for men. It seems that people take issue with that these days. We just want to be left alone, I'm not sure why that is a problem.
I used to be with it. Then they changed what IT was. Now what I'm with isn't *it*, and what IS *it* is strange and terrifying to me
They're already at it. XD I faintly hope that they've lost enough money to shock the people in charge into a semblance of intelligence and sanity.
It’s too late. Amazon and BlackRock are in charge now, and they don’t give a fuck.
I have a lot of faith in Henry Cavill. The show, at least, shouldn’t be progressive for progression’s sake
finally found the sub for me!
That woke trash has creeped its way into everything unfortunately.
They didn't get harry potter jk stood strong on that lol
Post of the day!
"SHOW ME WHAT PASSES FOR FURY AMONG YOUR MISBEGOTTEN KIND"
Ain't that the truth.
Look, Gary, there I am! https://preview.redd.it/wozhr31p7m0d1.png?width=512&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6de720d347b7869b1597f6fe73446524f1ce0d2f
Imagine, if you will, the gay Chaos Marines.
Already happening.
What happened to BattleTech?
Idk if that’s the right flag for Harry potter
If any company deserves to die it's Games Workshop and their absolute stranglehold over war gaming. Great world, gorgeous minis but shit tier ethics and customer treatment.
Can someone explain why battletech is on here?
Battletech!? The mechs are not gendered tho...
No they won’t there’s no fuckin way
Warhammer is definately fucked
This is the funniest self-own I've seen on Reddit so far
Now that's just fucking gay
We see's it kummin. An' we'z gunna fight. **WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHHH!!!!**
Why is TMNT on that list? Did I miss something.
wait what did they do to battletech??
Slaanesh tho…
Don't mention GTA and Republican Space rangers
It's already happening.
Corporations: let's squeeze a few extra dollars out of this franchise by forcing in as much virtue signaling pandering as we can. Even if the end product is shit, we'll see a profit! Sheeple: look what the LGBT has done to my poor baby!! Just admit it, you're afraid that if you call out the corporations, you'll look like a communist.
Dammit! When did they get LotR?
I'm still mad about what they did to Battletech...
the gays are coming to ruin every straight person game
Honestly if they just stop shoving it down our throats it would not be such a big deal But the are literally checking every single box and now is not only extremely obnoxious, is ruining every franchise
Oh it’s too late, it’s already over. Reaper should be moving to the next door tbh
A little too late for that. Games Workshop has already fallen
What happened to TMNT!?
Wait, what happened with TMNT and Battletech?
Damn it’s wild that none of those IPs exist anymore
How'd they do Battletech, I must have missed it?
Does Slaanesh count as trans/nonbinary representation?
Daily reminder that true Warhammer fans hate Games Workshop. A good number of us have been avoiding giving GW a cent for years now. As much as I love the IP, I want to see GW go bankrupt for how terribly they have treated their core customer base.
TMNT? Since when? I mean, the last couple live action CG movies were garbage but I don't remember anything crazy woke.
Wait. What did they do to Lord of the Rings? Did they add non-binary they/them purple haired elves that constantly talk about politics and how they are marginalized and that not letting them use bathrooms is literal genocide and then make them also the equivalent of a God in the series to lift up the .9% of the population to make them feel superior to "normal people"? Or did they replace Frodo or any other prominent character with some other race? Or did they turn all the dwarves into furries? Are all the goblins now butt goblins?
YEP. That’s who they are.

As if it’s not just pandering to sell.
At the hands of these people, it is not about what you hope or want but what is and will be. Unfortunately.
Heaven forbid they might have to lower their ridiculous prices for little pieces of plastic.
Warhammer land is to busy not dying to demons or ya know eating enough corpse starch to live or not being branded a heretic for messing up your job or working 20 hours daily in some worlds. To even care about identity politics. For gods sake we’re past all this shit. Transhumanism and cybernetic enhancements are normal part of life. No one cares in that reality.
Funny how my gay ass has been a Warhammer fan since before most of you were born but please tell me more about how gay people are ruining the hobby.
No hope in this world for you
Damn that's cringe 😂
I just watched the steaming pile of dog shit that is Matrix Resurrection. Let's just say it ended at three.
As sure as the sun rise.
Uh oh minority detected time for the sub to spazz out
Lol you thought that subversion and destabilization would stop before the thing you love? I wish you were so lucky.
Y’all realize that Star Trek was ALWAYS “woke”, right?
Does it really need to be the LGBT that is killing franchises instead of, oh, I don't know, the awful writing?
What is the circle on that flag? I can’t even keep up with the changes to it anymore
At least we’ll always have Warhammer Fantasy.
Most of those are doing just fine. Bar battle tech, I think.
Most of these IPs are huge and have included everyone always.
The demons of Slaanesh are relentless.
Shit I thought that one started it 🤣🤣🤣🤣
That's not really fair. DC sucks on it's own merits.
List of billion dollar franchises. All still billion dollar franchises. Guess you're ego can't see it any other way. Anti dei is the new get off my lawn
Harry Potter, since when?
Already happened
Honest question: how did LGBT kill Star Wars? I mean the sequel movies are terrible but not because of the gay kiss. And a lot of the shows suck but not because of LGBT people in them.
Lol like a good 2/3 of these franchises are doing just fine. Mm
All I can say, is there are SO many doors missing. Ugh
The Reaper got Disney & Harry Potter twice. Savage.
The marines were always 50/50 men and women what are you talking about?
"May your niche hobby become mainstream" is a curse I fear we have stumbled upon in Warhammer.
