"The Problem With Warhammer 40K" By Adam Something - A Tourists Perspective - WE'RE DOING IT LIVE!

"...that no one knows or cares about..." If the Custodes are so unimportant, why are tourists so determined on changing them instead of leaving them be?

[@violenceislife1987]

Meme war

[@weareharbinger914]

That was my exactly thought. NOBODY cares. NONE. Supposedly. I care, they even decide to make the now two depicted female custodes complete dicks too(ironically) Custodes aren't meant to be emotional, but the girl ones seem to just be needlessly cruel. Even punishing a dude with servitorisation for not wanting to teleport a warp nuke into the emperor's throne room.

The whole "92% of players play Paragon in Mass Effect" thing is likely for 2 reasons: 1. Mass Effect is an entirely different setting from 40k, where things are hopeful enough that humans and aliens are able to work together. 2. Renegade playthroughs were neutered in Mass Effects 2 and especially 3.

[@Xhaleon]

3. Renegade choices were too often chaotic stupid within the context of the setting. Even when the player knows it is a game and Renegade is a valid path (hence no real negative consequences), if you were trying to *role* play then Paragon was the only sensible option especially given point #1.

[@AAhmou]

​@@Xhaleon There is only one choice where I can see myself reliably agreeing with the Renegade choice: save the fleet to engage with Sovereign rather than fighting the Geth to save the council. But that choice also was neutered due to the fact, militarily, there is no real drawback to saving the council.

[@KopperNeoman]

@@AAhmou There is a pretty solid drawback, but you can make up for it by doing other things. That part of the Mass Effect 3 controversy also showed why games in general give you more resources than you need.

This guy does not know what he’s talking about. He treats exterminatus as if it happens daily when they’re unbelievably rare, and there’s got to be a very high bar for it to be acceptable even if it’s effective. Specific example is the inquisitor Fidus Kryptman who used exterminatus on multiple planets to slow down hive fleet leviathan. He was excommunicated because the loss of resources and manpower was too great to warrant the slowing down of the hive fleet. So no Adam, Space Marines do not spend 90% of their time pulling a No Russian on random planets for funsies. Exterminatus is the last resort of last resorts.

The people who think they are media literate tend to be incredibly illiterate about these franchises. And then he brings up Russia...why? You do kill civilians in 40k videogames. Darktide has you killing everything in your way between you and your goal. you could argue that they've all fallen, but you go through whole hive levels, in theory someone could surrender to you, to try and link up with imperial forces, but don't. While most of the enemies are male, not all are, with some of the specialists being female and a few of the scavs(don't think i've heard a female voice for the dregs from the regulars). You don't kill children, but to be fair, in a nurgle infested place, children probably don't survive anyway.

[@kopicat2429]

It's rather simple I think. The only thing casuals know about 40k are the space marines. And space marines don't have women. So the 40k universe don't have women in it. Which makes it weird that they put used the Custodians as the faction to now all of a sudden feature women. A faction nobody outside of the actual fans know about. I seriously question that decision because it changed nothing in the eyes of the people who only know the Space Marines. Space Marines still don't have women. 40k Universe still don't have women. "Custodians have women? Wtf is a Custodian? Warhammer 40k? You mean Space Marines? The one that don't have any women?" I myself had no idea Custodians even were a thing until after I saw the series "If the Emperor had a text-to-speak device" by Bruva Alfabusa a few years ago. Despite playing most Warhammer games I could find on PC, I knew little of the actual lore outside of a lore video here and there, and a book or two about the Horus Heresy. Would love more games centered around the Sisters of Battle or Sisters of Silence, especially the latter. The little bit of lore I've consumed sounds interesting. And Sister of Battle where my favorite faction in Dawn of War Soulstorm.

[@weareharbinger914]

@@kopicat2429 I think its worse since Sisters of Silence directly work with the Custodes and are generally ignored as a faction unto themselves. It would legitimately be interesting to flesh them out more, even have one as a protagonist maybe, hunting psykers or other stuff. I'm basically just a lore enjoyer of 40k, I have zero interest in the tabletop, but i like some of the videogames, ttrpgs, some books and that stuff. I knew about Custodians, I didn't know they used to be nearly naked (TTS taught me that). Sisters of Silence were something more recent of stuff i learned about when learning about Psykers for a ttrpg game. Sisters of battle get memed on a lot because they're usually always depicted as losing. I kind of see why, because at the end of the day, they are more or less just regular women with good armor and weapons. Sisters of Silence are almost space marine versions of SoB's They have better kit, inherent any chaos/psyker abilities and whatnot. The only thing the wokies have done involving them was make a trans SoB(no i'm not kidding) and it is as dumb as you think it is. I don't think they know SoS exist. So your '40k is space marines' idea is likely correct. The only reason there aren't femarines is because of the lore and it would kill their business, otherwise GW would have done it, Any argument in favor of femarines is killed by the biological requirements which are hard coded. Only arguments i've seen in favor is numbers(but women can produce more men, reducing your female population is generally quite stupid) and that they can just have cawl magic it up, even thought it took him thousands of years to tinker with space marines that were still men. A funny meta thing was once they added female custodes, they nerfed the faction, which was a little funny correlation.

This guy's argument about not depicting civilian purges and warcrimes in a Triple A videogame goes right out the window if you include Fatshark's Darktide. It was insanely popular with Warhammer fans upon its release and literally depicts the purging of thousands of chaos corrupted civilians by teams of the inquisition's penal soldiers. If that's okay to depict and doesn't affect enjoyment and sales then surely an "accurate" depiction of Space Marines would have sold just as well. Or maybe at best this guy's experience with the setting is the tabletops rules and memes from Twitter and Space Marine two is accurate in its depiction of Marines as noble knights defending humanity from monsters.

“Fantasy needs to be grounded. It is not simply a license to do anything you like. Smaug and Toothless may both be dragons, but they should never be confused. Ignore canon, and the world you’ve created comes apart like tissue paper.” This idea that just because x thing exist therefore x other thing should be able to exist is fundamentally flawed, it can’t. Each setting has their own exclusive fundamental lore, concepts, characters extra of which once set in stone establishes that setting, once it’s established you can’t add or remove if you do you will undermine it. Take orks for example, both elder scrolls and warhammer have orks but what makes a warhammer ork? The fact that it’s sexless fungi, if you took that away it’ll cease to be a warhammer ork, if you add female custodes, space marines and primarchs for whatever reason it will no longer be warhammer. Because what warhammer fundamentally is, is what it was originally after it became established. Modern 40k isn’t 40k just like sigmar isn’t old world at least there’s a clear distinction between them though.

Mass effect is a false metric to view player's tendencies as mass effect is very heavily biased in favour of paragon. The paragon option almost always leads to at least an equal if not better outcome to the renegade option leading to significantly more war assets in me3. The negative consequences of paragon options few as they may be never amount to more than a few lines of dialogue. Also because mass effect ties persuasion/intimidation to your paragon/renegade score if you go renegade you have to go renegade all the time even with your crewmates who you may quite like. Mass effects morality system is honestly awful.

[@RipOffProductionsLLC]

Yeah, the specific case of Mass Effect has more to do with how the story directs you towards those choices, and the gameplay mechanics around Paragon/Renegade strongly encourage you to puck one side and stick to it for optimized results, so mixing it up is thus discouraged. It's obvious the writers intended Paragon as the canon story, and Renegade options were an after thought, so players who are there to enjoy a story will play along with the story by playing Paragon.

[@jeremyrichard2722]

I will say that "Starship Troopers" the novel was mainstream at one time, some used to argue that it was one of the most common sense depictions of the military ever written and it was referenced all the time. Almost everyone I know in the military back in the 1990s all the way up to the "War On Terror" had read it. That said this was at the time that the works of guys like Michael Moorcock were better known as well, a lot of the source material for D&D was common enough where a lot of people who might just be trying D&D were familiar with some of that kind of stuff first. That said I think there was a definite effort made with the writings of people like Heinlein, Asimov, and others who had gone mainstream to undermine their work as the left was picking up steam, hence movies like "I, Robot" and TV shows like "Foundation" that are outright the opposite of everything the original works said or stood for. "Starship Troopers" a movie made by a guy who had never read the book, and had the intent of mocking the idea, was perhaps a prototype for this... the most recent success on these levels was likely "V For Vendetta" which has a movie largely representing protest against how certain people viewed Bush-era politics, and convinced people Guy Fawkes was some kind of leftie folk hero. It's also entirely different from anything the source material attempted to say... for example "V" isn't a hero... he's the bloody Villain, he's an insane costumed psychopath amuck in a world with no super heroes to stop him. The guy is a loony toon who burns down England for fun, and the government isn't even actually bad as you find out he had hacked into their computer system and actually caused all the bad things they were accused of doing it, while the guy they made a flat out Hitler analogy in the movie, was actually trying desperately to stop him and save everyone.... you might guess that eventual reveal was a key plot point they somehow overlooked. At any rate I also wanted to say that Heinlein's work is weird in that it's very incestuous and like other shared universes has a key concept that ties it together... in this case The Lazarus Long stories. While a lot of his stuff like "Starship Troopers" stands alone, to get the full context and understand it properly you need to have read a lot of Heinlein's other stuff as well. A lot of his stories might seem to be giving a very offensive message, but are simply explaining, or paving the way for, something that happens or is resolved later. Long, but this should explain quite a bit, to be fair I think "Starship Troopers" is an example of why there needs to be laws against cultural vandalism, requiring a rights holder to do them properly, according to the source material. It's one of those things where the movie will effectively taint the perception of the book, and a powerful message in it both alone and in it's expanded universe, just by existing. Just because something is 'good' in of itself doesn't mean it should exist or be protected as much as short term thinkers dislike that point. I would hold it and things like "V For Vendetta" up as examples of exactly why there needs to be concerted effort made to protect culture from political changes and people buying the rights to past things and intentionally tainting them. Saying they should be able to do anything to a classic work as long as they have legal access to the rights, and some people find it entertaining, is a very bad attitude to have, and very short sighted. If you want to say something new, then create something new to say it. If nothing else that will force leftists to learn to actually be creative and entertaining.

[@ConsueloWubba]

Regulation is never the solution.

[@jeremyrichard2722]

@@ConsueloWubba It depends on what your dealing with. The problem is that when they regulate they do it in regards to the wrong things, or do it in a half arsed way there the granted exceptions and the ability to create precedents and such rapidly undermine the regulation and it's point. In the case of artistic works like specific stories, movies, etc... What I'm suggesting is no different than laws that exist to protect historical sites, works of art, and monuments, it's just applying the same guidelines to media due to it not currently having the same kinds of protections as physical works and sites due to the way it had been viewed, and we're just now seeing why that protection should exist. That said, if the regulations and laws are not created properly, you can see them undermined. Such as how when politics change people can declare previously protected sites offensive to the current political climate and remove the protection. That should not be happening, as things given that status were given it to begin with. The flip side of course is deciding what has this kind of protection, and when it occurs. Being able to protect something too easily can in fact have the opposite effect than intended by trivializing the protection when it's used stupidly. The difficulty of regulation does not mean it's the wrong tool, just that it needs to be done properly. The issue of course is that it's very rarely done properly. I actually see a window opening soon which rarely occurs, but is hardly unprecedented. That is to say having a largely rationality based government with the motivation to do something like this properly, coming into power with the ability to quash the kind of opposition that usually forces compromise on such things. When it's time ends there is unlikely to be a similar group in power that could muster the support to change or create anything similar for a very long time as our stagnation returns, so it's best to see this used as constructively as possible, and I think this is one of the things that will do far more good than harm in the long run, though nothing is ever going to be perfect. It might in fact kill a lot of media from being used due to the inability to modify it to represent the moment and make money to the extent many would like. That said even if that does happen it's not a bad thing as it then forces creativity on a greater level as people can't just decide that they can say redo an iconic franchise with current politics, they have to actually create new material based around those politics and have it be good enough to resonate. That in of itself is a good thing.
