New xpack, all female leads? (Part 1)

Cool.

Are you going to address the fact that space marines and Sisters of Battle have different goals and intentions, or are you just going to ignore that because you can’t refute it?

I think the bigger factor here is that if you mess with 40k canon too much then most of the males invested in the franchise will walk away or turn to 3D printers.

Or hey maybe they could try selling boxes full of Female Space Marine models and see what happens.

I don’t think it’ll work out well for Games Workshop but if you think it will then by all means make the suggestion.

Okay, you can’t answer it.

Thanks for confirming you don’t know what you’re talking about by deflecting onto something else.

Cheers :beers:

You already assumed to be superior to me so why would I keep bushwhacking you over minor points?

Above is my summary and the harsh reality of doing business with left field ideas.

I’ll say stunning and brave once you create a new bit

After. Got it.

I mean, you’re the one who made the claim that Sisters of Battle would cease to exist if female space marines were introduced into the world. That’s your argument, not mine.

Right, and that summary is riddled with erroneous assumptions about a fandom you don’t even partake in, evidenced by the fact that you have a very shallow understanding of what the Sisters of Battle even do. You saw they were equipped with guns and thought “that’s the female space marine, so why do we need actual female space marines?”

Again, this is why I don’t respect your take on this matter: Because it’s uninformed.

They’re tourists and don’t realize the Sororitas are a loophole church militant of regular people instead of monastic augmented super soldiers like Space Marines.

I don’t need to know every facet of the lore to understand that Female Space Marines are a bad idea.

How? Does the Gene-seed violently detonate upon exposure to estrogen?

That the Primarchs are all male?

It was the Emperors will?

The reason you don’t have them now is because GW back then didn’t think they’d sell well enough to justify making more molds/sculpts at the time.

The Emperor was a whiny manchild who created the most horrific human society in existence.

If you’re going to make the argument that female space marines are a bad idea because the Sisters of Battle are going to be rendered irrelevant, I would expect you to know what the Sisters of Battle do and be prepared to explain why you believe that.

Especially since the Sisters of Battle aren’t some niche corner of 40k lore. They’re actually one of the most recognizable wings of the Adepta Sororitas.

Space Marines wouldn’t even be a thing without the Big E.

They are. Big E is dead and his corpse needs be shuffled off too. Rowboat Jellyman could lift a finger and say “recruit women too, idiots” and it’d happen.

Between the Sisters and Space Marines one has more relevancy over the other in terms of lore as well as screen presence.

People would replace Sisters with Female marines or make a joke of the Sisters.

How would it make a joke of the sisters? Do two female athletes in two separate sports somehow cancel eachother’s fame out too?

Is there some Estrogen Exclusionary Equation I’m not aware of?

Lana and Lilly Wachowski wrote that stuff into the movies in a way that was both natural and understandable instead of pushing it as the primary reason for the movies themselves to exist. Times were very different back then as well, trans people were constantly hated on as a general rule by almost all people. Today we have moved forward and most are much more open-minded thankfully.

The Matrix is not woke, it represents the subject in a way that is natural to the world of the movies while telling a compelling story for audiences to enjoy. Calling it “woke” or using it as ammo against people who don’t believe in your representation opinions is incredibly offense to The Wachowskis, who I would think that someone like you would be standing up and rooting for. I myself think they are great and am very thankful to them for creating one of my favorite movie trilogies.

Wasn’t there an incident at the Paris games where genders weren’t classified properly and a woman was decimated by another due to a misclassification of a difference in genetics?
