Have you healed from female Custodes yet?

That's not how they look in the canon...

I think it makes sense, the Custodes have been Mary Sues since they got their own books. They're better than everyone, the Emperor loves them the most, they're supposed to be the future of humanity even though they're not psykers.
>>
>>97276684
>Have you healed from female Custodes yet?
I would have if they'd been what they should have been.

Which is boobplate and heeled sabaton wearing supermodels who are built for instant loss
>>
>>97276684
I honestly liked female Custodes. Helped differentiate them from Space Marines more and made sense since they're supposed to be "humanity perfected" rather than just augmented soldiers. never understood why it caused such a spergout
>>
>>97276923
>never understood why it caused such a spergout
Then it's worthless explaining it to you.
>>
>>97276928
and you wonder why people dismiss you as a sperg.
>>
>>97276928
anon I know that sounded like a cool burn in your head but that makes no sense at all. if I did understand why it would cause such a spergout you wouldn't need to explain it to me either.
>>
>>97276923
The Emperor wanted baseline mankind. Maybe psychic humanity. Primarchs, Custodes, Marines and Thunder warriors were just tools. But not human.
Also, WHERE ARE MY FUCKING BALD HEADACHE INDUCTING BITCHES, YOU GAMES NIGGERSHOP.
>>
>>97276935
as an outsider to warhammer, the most i have gleaned is that the retcon was too hamhanded for the fanbase.
but it comes across as shockingly hollow when they are constantly facing entire reworks of everything every time a new book is printed.
>>
>>97276923
Because the spergs crave the spergout. They desperately WANT 40k to be wokepropaganda so they can whine about it, they will furiously search for any trivial reason to be upset. Some vague wording or some negroid features painted on a model. They will gobble up anything. The fact that there is 0 (zero) female custodes miniatures doesn't bother them in the slightest.

DESU, the phrase
>"There have always been female Custodes "
is memeable for the fact it comes off less as an affirmation by the writers and more like a command on par with
>"We've always been at war with Eurasia"
or
>"There's no war in Ba Sing Se"
Like, it legitimately doesn't matter in the end, everyone knows that this is a move solely to sell more plastic crap and to appeal to people who don't play WH40K to know enough that female custodes aren't going to make an actual difference in terms of gameplay, but the hamfistedness of Gee Dubs' attempts to shut down the nerd fights (and obvious failure, given they're still going on) really did make it easy to laugh at
>>
>>97276684
What are female Custodes?
If your pic is related, they look pretty hot.
>>
>>97276923
I do actually think lots of the people crying were political tourists. I remember lot of them said shit that's just not true, like about "implants" or "gene seed", so they clearly think Custodes are just Space Marines.
And others quoted shit like 7th edition books that contain the words "brothers" or "sons", but I'm pretty sure old Imperial Guard books also used similar wording, so under that logic there shouldn't be any female Imperial Guard either. The only difference is they changed that before internet culture wars became prevalent.
>>
>>97276982
Except that's not what happened. Because GW doesn't sell any female custodes.
Someone just though it would be fun to have a female character in a short video and didn't reflect much upon it. They didn't know secondaries would freak out like the world had ended.
>>
>>97276988
Custodes with boobs, anon, try to keep up
And that's just fan art, which always looks more appealing to the average coomer than whatever Gee Dubs can do.
>>
>>97277007
>implying Gee Dubs doesn't intend to resell female Sigmarine heads as female Custodes heads once the fanbase becomes receptive enough to the idea to shell out their cash
Seriously, anon?

>it comes off less as an affirmation by the writers and more like a command
anon, thats how you implement retcons. you can't pussyfoot around it without it becoming a confusing mess or what is and isnt currently canon.
>>
is there a more cringe community that imperium fans? they actually almost killed themselves over this shit

>>97277008

>>97277015
>"What if, hypothetically, a factory in England would manufacture and sell pieces of plastic that I don't like. What then, huh? Huh? I know they haven't, but what if they did?"
>>
>>97277018
Not really. They could easily have said "Female Custodes are a recent thing" or "Some are female under the helmet, but it doesn't matter since Adeptes Custodes are Adeptes Custodes" too. But I still say it's a nothingburger since it doesn't change anything meaningful, it's just funny that their attempts to shut down arguments from their fans did jack.
>>
>>97277007
actual story is even more sad since the narrative head of GW said he wanted to add female custodes like 8-10 years ago and all the writers were cool with it but one guy running GW said no purely just because they didn't want to add things to the lore they didn't have models for
>>
>>97277030
Why are you so phostile, good sir?
>>
>>97277033
no matter how they tried to implement them would result in the spergout, don't kid yourself, 40k fans are the reining champions of the girls-have-cooties mindset.
>>
How to solve all problems with the 40k "community":
Just ban all "lore" content on youtube. Copyright strikes.
Lawsuits. Cease and desist. Purge the entire internet of this shit. Paywall absolutely everything. Total secondary death.
>>
>>97277042
Don't know if I can agree if only because I've seen worse from fujos online
>>
>>97277008
So, is this some Warhammer thing?
I learned over a decade ago it isn't worth getting into, due to the game itself, the lore, the fanbase, and the company.
I don't have to "heal" from something that never affected me in the first place.
>>
>>97277062
Yeah, it was from the online show that sparked all this. From what I hear, the show wasn't even really that good enough on its own to be memorably bad, people only talk about the one custodes with her helmet off for like five minutes or something.

sometimes you can still find them going into convulsions whenever a new piece of the fluff refers to a random Custodes as "she".

And yet here you are talking about warhammer in a warhammer thread, despite having zero interest in collecting a miniature army. This makes you a typical member of the online fanbase.

GW are unilaterally cowards until they provide.
>>
>>97277078
I bet if I was a Sisters of Battle or Sororitas or whatever fan, I'd be pretty disappointed they were getting ignored.
But yeah, Disney taught me a long time ago not to get too attached to works and franchises from mainstream companies, especially when those companies are so ready and willing to alienate their fanbases, then be acerbic about the sudden influx of "toxic haters" their behaviors created.
>>
>>97277083
OP asked a question, and in order to formulate an answer, I asked for more context.
Cool your mantits, chungus.
>>
>>97277100
SoB are hardly getting ignored in favor of Femstodes. Female Custodes don't even have models and the book in question takes place several thousand years before Sisters of Battle would even exist.
>>
>>97277100
Sisters are very well supported by Games Workshop with a lot of new models released in recent years. You just think they are ignored because you never see ragebait posted about them.
Female Custodes, by contrast, has had zero models released, ever.
>>
>>97276842
I have a great relationship with both my parents. Shame you don't even know your dad.
>>
>>97277008
A female Custodian being a vaguely German slab of a woman feels pretty on brand, at least.
>>
>>97276923
The issue with femstodes is that this retcon makes the Emperor less gay
>>
>>97277389
Space Marines are made by older males abducting the brattiest boys and injecting them with their gene seed until they become mind broken, yes.
>>
>>97276923
>Helped differentiate them from Space Marines more
No it didn't, you wouldn't know a custodes was female until their helmet was off and GW told you they were female. They're still roided out bold face giant super soldiers who always win, just gold
>>
>>97276684
Have you?
>>
>>97276923
You're a faggot

It's literally just GW testing the waters for whether people would accept female space marines

Everyones knows custodes are basically just a niche variant on the concept of space marines, being elite, gene-engineered supersoldiers in powered armour

>don't need a massive retcon to explain it
>actually make female Custodes models after some time
>>
The only thing that really bothered me about the Femstodes response was the cope. It felt strange. After more than a decade of watching women integrated (or even dominate) different hobbies and subcultures, watching people go “Hell yeah, muscle mommies” felt insane.

You know what it is? Trojan horse. You know this big gaudy idol is bad news but everyone is dancing around it and insisting you’re a no-fun Nancy. I don’t care how many big breasted golden banana bitches you make, we all know that’s not what they look like in-game and in-lore and even in-art. It’s pure cope detached from the reality of the situation.
>>
>>97276684
Have they released thicc female custodes models? No? Then fuck off.
>>
>>97276684
Have they even show up in anything? My only problem with them is that sister of battle/silence already were female space marine/custodes in concept so they feel redundant

>>97277852
No, I think that would have felt a lot more like they're preparing for female Space Marines, since if it's about numbers, Space Marines need a lot more. They should have emphasized that Custodes are not Space Marines instead, they don't have the same technical limitations. And if they wanted to acknowledge that we've only seen males so far, say some shit like how the noble families prefer to give up boys, but it's not a rule.
>>
>>97277925
They’re the only time you see Custodes without a helmet anymore.
>>
>>97277931
My thought was to give a reason as to why we haven't had them before rather than retcon them into the game.
>>
>>97277939

Wasn’t Femstodes written in the same year as, “wraithbone is made from metals and minerals?”

But they ragebait post about mannish Sisters all the time!
>>
>>97277939
I think they can do "they were there, you just haven't seen them", if they give some reason why, like there just aren't that many of them or something.
>>
>>97276684
I stopped caring about Warhammer; it's a dead franchise they're riding the tranny cock of HollyJew for quick money

>>97277985
I’m ultimately willing to excuse the gripers because their complaints come from a generalized frustration with society becoming far less accommodating for straight white men. Its hard to find any one specific aspect of the culture shift to point at so they point at any instance of women taking over a male hobby.

To put it more simply, people can feel they’re getting fucked over but can’t articulate how.

Jesus Christ man that’s not what he’s saying at all, I’m >>97278053 so I’m not like, some liberal weirdo but getting into some neocon angst over half-century old politics is completely pointless. He’s not saying communism is good, he’s saying the ghoulish tech bro dystopia we live in is bad.

>and i guess you think everyone in communist countries is happy 24/7 and isn't exploited?
Of course not, hence "Unregulated HYPER" Capitalism.

>>97278061
>He’s not saying communism is good, he’s saying the ghoulish tech bro dystopia we live in is bad.
Exactly.
>>
>>97278061
just had to be sure, since a lot of westerners think that the only answer for rampant unchecked capitalism is communism.
>>
>>97278081
Or, you know, trust busting, like Roosevelt. Or do what St. Louis did since there's a direct correlation there.

>>97276684
The next WH preview trailer had golden bananas on the serving platter. They'll be announced later this month for sure.
I don't give a shit about female custodes if they gave a good reason in the lore an allowed men in the sisters of silence.

My gripe is that they only want to change the lore because of out-of-universe investors pushing them to be more inclusive for no reason at all and therefore fuck them.
>>
>>97278185
i still think that creators should at least try to make them gooner bait as a fuck you to the suits.
