I guarantee 99% of that sub doesn’t even play AoS. Not to mention 40k they’ve had non binary characters/characters that use gender neutral pronouns for a long time.

    Gamergate chuds will claim at every turn not to be bigoted but they can never hide their frothing rage at the mere existence of minorities.

    With this insight, they became the first to grant a COMRADE suffering from the Curse of Reforging a true death. James Workshop is COMMUNINIST ?

      The Adeptus Mechanicus is an entire human society where gender is just nonsense. Orks basically have one gender, which means they don’t really have a gender at all. Then there’s trans sisters of battle, Escher and Goliath doing gender shit, etc. etc.

      “You know what’s unrealistic in my sci-fi setting with shape-shifting assassins, demonic entities, and reality bending psychic powers? Feeeeeeemales in the local militia.”

    Hell in one of the novelizations you have a Sister of Battle that more or less describes them transitioning to become a sister of battle.

    Anyway I love tabletop games and such but fuck do I hate a specific subset of the fandom and relish them being frothingfash as the gaming space opens up to more people

        The screnshot is from Age of Sigmar (GW’s high fantasy setting). Warhammer 40,000 is their sci-fi version. I think there’s several books with trans Sisters of Battle. Most Adeptus Mechanicus stuff has gender fuckery. They’re a religious cult who worship technology. It becomes their life goal to become as machine as possible. This ends up with a lot of AM characters becoming non-binary because they’ve been reduced to a brain in a jar with a robot body.

        Necrons are a race of machines who were once mortal, organic beings. They experience a lot of dismorphia because they were turned into machines against their will. And when you’re a race of machines, gender ceases to exist.

        Then there’s the ork who corrects a human for misgendering another ork, explaining that orks don’t really have genders or are just one gender. This story pissed off so many chuds lmao

          To add to the Necrons as well is you have Necron Lords that are genderfluid and so commonly change it up every millennia or so, i.e. “I awoke from my most recent sleep program and I’m feeling like a woman for this cycle”.
