Muse talks about Females in 40K
Commissar you need to go.
âWhat!? I have a say in this too you know!â
Yes you do, but this is my time.
Okay, let me address this. I personally have never seen any women discriminated against when wanting to play 40K. Granted I donât KNOW any women who want to play 40K, most of them are playing Pathfinder where me and my buddies play. However, if someone did want to learn, we would gladly teach them, no questions asked. So, let me restate that. I have no problem with women playing 40K. I think its an awesome idea, and it would really be cool to have some females players kicking my ass and enjoying the game. (Iâm not very good. XD)
Now, onto the Lore itself. Firstly, can GW please, please, please, PLEASE give us more female guardsmen models? Like seriously! I play Imperial Guard and ever since I learned about them in Space Marine, and Dawn of War I have been like:Â âCan I get some female models up in here? This is group effort.â God forbid we donât have some female commanders or strike leaders. I want some more female characters for my personal lore army. :)Â
As for the sisters, I do believe the heels are a bit much but everything else, goes with the lore. They are the âBrides of the Emperorâ they show off their feminine sides by being beautiful and kicking your ass while doing it. They WANT to look feminine because they are meant to show that their beauty means a lot to them. I mean HOT DAMN, if I was a guardsmen and so those women I would be like: âOh thank the Emperor theyâre here to save us.â Another part of the lore is that the Ecclisearchy only takes women, these sisters are the ELITE arm of the church. They are badass, xeno killing, heretic burning, people saving, women with guns. I love it and I wish we had plastic models of them.
On the topic of female Space Marines, I donât know where to stand. I donât think there SHOULD be female marines, but hey if you can make a LEGIT lore reason as to why they exist, then Iâm all for it. Just donât BS it to appease people. No no, give me a legitimate reason or reasons, as to why these female marines exist and I will smile and say:Â âAwesome, more marines!â
So, hereâs my biggest problem. I donât want females shoved in just for appeasement. Appeasement NEVER WORKS. I thoroughly agree there should be more female soldiers in the Imperium of Man. However, if you just shove them in for no good reason just to appease a bunch of unstable, unsatiable, uncontrollable, hive minded SJWâs. Then youâre pissing them off, and your 40K fanbase off. 40K players donât care about you âRuining their masculine dream worldâ for the God Emperorâs sake weâre NERDS PLAYING A TABLETOP game, I donât think we play it to feel empowered. No, we care about you fucking around with the Lore and giving us bullshit reasoning for it. Iâm still not over the Primaris Marines, but again, if you give me a GOOD reason as to why female marines exist, Iâll just smile and say thatâs awesome! Thatâs what most 40K fans want, a GOOD REASON. Not appeasement. Also, guys, or girls, if you play 40K and someone wants to learn, teach them the game. We donât discriminate, weâre better than that.
