The Truth About Warhammer 40K and the Adeptus Custodes

The behind the scenes on how Games Workshop's gaslighting technique.

[@kaneslives]

What they should have said…. GW: The female custodians became a thing after Khorne attacked Terra. They took a chunk of casualties during that so they began another round of recruitment. More info will be in a novella we are releasing for free on digital. Simple and nowhere near as controversial

[@Catonzo]

No. It would still be utter trash no matter what they come up with. We have TWO male exclusive groupings and TWO female exclusively groupings. Former has Custodians and Space Marines... and the latter is Sisters of Silence and Adepta Sororitas. They fill their own exclusive roles in the setting and are NOT just female carbon copies of the male variants. Now they are slowly taking over whatever made the groupings unique. All for the sake of DEI. I will personally never acknowledge female Custodians, even if I leave the entire franchise to rot.

@@Catonzo (yawn) ok. I mean female space marines were a thing in first edition and no one threw a tantrum back then over plastic toys.

[@thanhphongpham7482]

@@kaneslives when were female space marines were a thing there is nothing mention about it. Don't bring up some shit that GDW make up. Found me one plastic toys public by the first edition about female space marine. Why you woke shit keep active and attack my hobby like this?

@@kaneslives shit argument, 40k as an ip was still in the process of finding its niche. That’s not the same thing as taking an already established and cultivated idea and completely turning it on its head. if you actually cared about being intellectually homogenous you’d understand the distinction

[@captainferrite]

Nah, make no mistake, this isn't about lore purity, this is pure culture war and dumbshit conservatives thinking 40k is about celebrating fascism rather than parodying it.

[@rikiorikio9368]

The truth is that they never existed, they don't exist, and they should have never tried to make them exist to comply with any woke agenda. Pretty sad to me to watch ganes worshop (a franchise that has always had place for men and women among fans and minis) surrender to this tendency. Now we'll ser how the boicot benefit their expensive product's sales

How is canonically allowing female Custodes affecting issues of Afro American population?

[@wufy9]

@@filipmaly6603 no fucks should be given to those two subjects since it has no bearing on the franchise no matter how much your woke companies try to change it.

[@BrotherVeli]

How is including women "woke" for some people? I mean honestly.

[@Sacrilege83]

What do you mean? Women were already included as Sisters of Battle and Silence Sisters.

[@thanhphongpham7482]

this is personal. Henry leave Witcher because of woke writer, now they attack his favorite hobby. This is low in any standard.

[@mayoluck]

You must be new to this... its okay you can put your helmet back on.

[@wufy9]

you must be a fool talking out of your ass or pretending not to know what you suggest. Lore and Story matter. It's woke because companies promoting their DEI agenda are forcing the fans to eat shit just to be inclusive.

There are no female custodes, no matter what GW says

[@FormerGovernmentHuman]

Did you see the custodes trailer GW just put out a little over a week after the initial post? No female custodes, not even a mention of it.

[@alexanderjager6768]

​@@FormerGovernmentHumanwell, the custodes were referred to as "they" if I remember correctly. However, they were probably referred to as multiple individuals. And there was a strong emphasis on the Sisters of Silence.

[@LangravioShosh]

yes there are brother, Sisters of Silence. This is my canon, when they said the infamous phrase they meant the sisters of silence, can't change my mind on that one

[@captainferrite]

The truth is that 40k was always a parody of far right ideology, not a celebration of it. But as right wingers are getting dumber, the mockery has to get blunter to have the same effect on you people.

@@godzilladestroyscities1757 Awww is the poor little cis white man feeling persecuted like a jew during ww2?

[@samuelskinner7704]

-fall of eldar -this is clearly a parody of the far right! 40k is grimdark. Everyone is faced with bad choices, they choice the worst options and things get worse. The 'good guy' faction (Tau) have always had a caste system and are an autocracy unlike the Imperium whose top leadership body is identical to the Skaven.
