Curator also doesn't know that there's an entire faction called the Sisters of Battle. And that Ursarkar Creed's daughter, Ursulla, took his position as Castellan of the surviving Cadian troops after the fall of Cadia. Gaunt's Ghosts displays women in combat roles as part of the Tanith First and Only. There's also a saint that's a female, that's a fieldable character for the Sisters army lists. Bro...

@@Big_E_Soul_Fragment 2012 isnt before the woke era lol.

@@libertinarey even disregarding the novels, we still get black marines in the Dawn of War series and the old Space Crusade game back in 1992. Seriously, how hard is it to believe non-Caucasian Space Marines exist?

[@Leofilmperson]

​@@Big_E_Soul_Fragment You're looking at the criticism through a too narrow lense, while the criticism itself is misinformed. It's not about marines of a certain shade existing or not, it's about marines of many shades existing in the same chapter. It's true that most marine chapters recruit from only one world, and canonically, many worlds have been settled by racially homogenous groups looking to be left alone by the rest of humanity. However, the Ultramarines recruit from all the worlds in their domain. It would be weird for them to not be as diverse as pictured in the game.

[@TheShadowForgeStudio]

No one tell that curator about Lotara Sarrin… or St. Celestine…

[@logangrimnar3800]

Best part of the "diversity" is that despite their different appearances, the only serious tension between the men was in what way they wanted to make things more deader. "I want to *furiously* make *specific* enemies more deader!" "NO! We need to *efficiently* make things EQUALLY more deader!" "YOU FOOLS!!! We need to make things more deader *by the book*" And then they forgot what they were arguing about when big brother dreadnought showed up and started yeeting statues at birds. "

AS someone who hates woke bullshit i can affirm that SM2 is the ABSOLUTE contrary of Woke The title of the game could be "Heroic Masculinity: the Game" and it would not be a Lie. "There's a Female Cadian Commander!" Yes and?, the Guard doesn't discriminate, as long that you can hold a lasgun and knows your prayers to the God-Emperor you are free to join and if you do well you can climb in ranks, no matter your Gender, despite How some people like to say that the Imperium is Fascist, it is ironicly VERY Progressist. Man & Woman, no matter what, you are a Proud Member of the Human race, You are ONE of the Untold Trillions of Imperial Citizens, the only hatred you should feel is for the Xenos, the Mutants and the Heretic, Hate is a commodity, a ressource, that is best used against the Enemies of Humanity. "Theres a Black guy and a Asian guy in the UM, there shouldn't be one, since they have the geneseed of Guilliman" well yes and No The Geneseed while passing on genetic traits of the Primarch onto the Marines is indeed a thing, it doesn't make them Clones of the Primarch. Also Marines does NOT only recruit from their own Homeworld, in practice they can also recruit candidats from OTHER worlds that is under the governance of the Chapter. So they can physicly vary a great deal, even if they will share traits with their Primarchs AND each others.

[@condalas7409]

It seriously saddens me how angry and racists people get when they see any of their beloved characters portrayed by a race other than their own. Earth has hundreds of ethnicities. Earth is one planet. Ultramar has 500 habitable worlds, in a time where all ethnicities of today are likely far gone and there’s likely thousands of ethnicities throughout the Imperium, of all different genetic make ups, colors, melanin content, all adapted to the parts of the planets they grew up on in their solar systems. With genetic survival adaptations kicking in as soon as a few generations in some climates, it’s easier to imagine Gulliman’s sons and all of human kind being very adaptable and diverse in 40,000 AD. 10,000 years after the Space Marine chapters would definitely create new melanin contents within the ranks. I could go on but people really seemed shocked to find out all humans are still 99.9% genetically identical and that the skin color changes are merely climate adaptations, not genetic abnormalities like what were once called races by previous and less educated generations. Moral, race is not real; there is only the human race. Ethnicities are merely subjective experiences based more on family values passed through generations than skin color. The humans in the Grim Dark Future don’t see such stupid and outdated irrationalities as relevant to their cause. They only see humans and expendable resources in the grand scheme of the Emperor. So yes, Space Marines can be different ethnicities. Especially those from Macragge.

[@Saeronor]

The same should be said for people who consider any racial of gender quotas in eg. developing a game or for anyone who puts "diversity" on a pedestal. Both are mired in the same garbage racists partake in: attaching a value for characteristics without any value. Can't have a racist without overly caring about skin color or a sexist without overly caring about gender. "But muh intentions" changes nothing and if you scrape off the paint off certain DEI advocates, funny things tend to come out, stuff like "original sin logic", "math is white supremacy" or "entitlement to -revenge- reparations". Almost as if this entire DEI schtick - and various nonsense before it - had always been a clown show, diverse only in the sense of diverse tactics of faking it, starting from seeking DEI loans. As for garbage tier takes regarding what is woke" - welcome to reality where people disgusted by clown shows are numerous enough that both grifting from them and fanatical overcorrection become a thing simply due to large numbers and statistics. If you haven't noticed, this is how "equity" looks like, with pendulum barely moving towards the middle. Wake me up when anti-woke attitude (and I mean mainstream version, not some weirdos trying to compete with puerile radicalism or outright astroturfers) is mandated by massive corporations, governments and colleges, with its lingo being pushed as "virtuous". Hilariously enough, some of it used to be, but packaged as progressive few decades ago - do you know what it preached? Being color-blind, which... can still be found at the foundation of rejecting modern DEI garbage with characters transparently existing only to fill a quota.

[@The_Black_Falchion]

I’m 100% Anti-Woke as well, but Warhammer Lore has 100% always included female combatants. This is a world of genetic enhancement and a completely lack of femininity, so logic can deduce that their female characters are much stronger and more capable than most. Cant project everything. You only get to do this when they either: 1.) Come out of nowhere (looking at you Rey) 2.) Are Lore Inaccurate (Female Custodies fits this) 3.) Are more powerful than everyone else for no justifiable reason (looking at you Rey) 4.) undercut other characters to bring them up (looking at you again Rey) 5.) Are Rey from Star Wars

[@Saeronor]

*"While yes it wouldn’t make sense for the imperium to willingly take in female soldiers in my opinion, because..."* ...because constant wars generate insane rate of attrition which has to be balanced out by _someone_ making babies and Imperium does not plan like our politicians, ie. for one term and a cushy job in private sector but for entire generations ahead and NOBODY gives a damn that Susan or some other Helen wants to be a soldier? Granted, the sheer number of people in the Imperium suggests real bottleneck is somewhere between interstellar transport capacity and production capacity for materiel, so yes, female soldiers are nothing grating even for that setting. Hilariously, though - worlds like Cadia, which are argued as the most optimal place to find women soldiers, should be the least likely to have them. After all, they are supposed to generate massive number of soldiers for campaigns abroad while, at the same time, securing EoT and having their planet periodically ravaged. Unless massive numbers of settlers -are- were brought in to balance out the bleeding (but not too many, because Cadian martial culture would be inevitably diminished), it makes absolutely no sense demographically unless there's some secret undercaste of Cadian women having 20+ babies in Mechanicum Baby Factory. Each _frontline_ soldier in a modern army requires 10+ other soldiers in typically non-combat roles (until Tyranids descend on a field hospital etc). This is where extreme majority of female soldiers should be placed by any war-obsessed regime*. In fact, this is precisely what Soviets were doing in their desperate years, freeing up low-tier male soldiers for the trenches. They ended up with a huge crater in their demographic charts that did not fully recover even today, but if they opted to send in women in the same capacity, that crater would become a Mariana Trench. And, heh, their war lasted barely few years... *)And any regime that can use trillions for its army. At that point even small difference in physical capacity between equally trained men and women becomes a large difference due to being multiplied by 1,00000000000 or something and minuscule number of exceptions is not worth logistical effort. Imperium should get away with doing this simply because of its low level of centralization, with various planets sending what is their own idea of a soldier and relatively low bar for humans compared with infinitely more valuable tanks, artillery or spaceships.
