Took some better shots of this guy. I think he's going to be part of a new word bearers project. I've decided they'd be a good army as I can incorporate multiple elements with them. . . . #painting #warhammer #warhammer40k #paintingwarhammer #40k #conversion #gamesworkshop #warhammer40000 #hobby #40kconversions #warhammercommunity #grimdark #grimedark #spacemarines #primaris #adeptusastartes #femalespacemarines #feminist40k #derelictpixie #chaosspacemarines #wordbearers https://www.instagram.com/p/CTsFDc1Ny01/?utm_medium=tumblr

Built this guy as a Chapter Master for the Rust Devilils, but he wasn't quite what I wanted. He's still on my ebay store. . . . #40k  #warhammer40k #inq28 #horusheresy #warhammer #kitbash #kitbashingwarhammer #WarhammerCommunity #paintingwarhammer #blanchitsu #grimdark #grimedark #grimdoinks #derelictpixie #primaris #spacemarines #femalespacemarines #feminist40k #28magchallenge #instagood #art #artistsoninstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CRAcxHlH_Kk/?utm_medium=tumblr

Playing around with different setup and background for taking pictures. I'd really like to improve my miniature photography and add something more. . . . #40k  #warhammer40k #warhammer #kitbash #kitbashingwarhammer #WarhammerCommunity #paintingwarhammer #blanchitsu #grimdark #grimedark #grimdoinks #derelictpixie #art #primaris #spacemarines #femalespacemarines #feminist40k https://www.instagram.com/p/CRTzhlPnMEZ/?utm_medium=tumblr

'Feminist 40k' is so absurd, I thought it was actually satire.

I'm not kidding.  I took a glance at this group and said, "Here's some gold-standard comedy, these guys are taking the whole Social Justice Warrior stereotype and applying it on a whole new level of absurdity".  Then, I took a closer look and recognized some of the ringleaders, and it became even more hilarious- I realized this wasn't a joke, and these people are actually serious.  Words cannot express how hilarious I find it that people like this exist in my world, because I can be endlessly amused at their antics.

I'll be among the first to say that it'd be great to get some female Imperial Guard and Inquisitors, new female characters, and even various 'breastplate' options for Sisters of Battle (and a full re-release of the Sisters so people will shut the fuck up about it).  Until that time, if people want these things, they'll have to get resourceful and spend a little time getting some of the outstanding third-party models to do this exact thing.  And to be completely fair, I don't give two shits if you make your own 'female space marine' chapter, because at the end of the day- it doesn't matter if I don't like what you've made, it's your property and you can do what you want with it.

And that's not enough for the boys playing 'feminist'.  Because, it's all about those female Space Marines.  I guess if you haven't spent much time around women and listening to them, you'd get the insane idea that you need to give them little plastic figures with tiddies and ponytails to make them want to play with you. 

Wow, I guess that's why women are just all over those Eldar models and the Infinity gaming tables are just packed with women, right?  They must be going apeshit over those female models in Age of Sigmar, too?  No?  Oh, well -surely- if we put a ponytailed head on a Space Marine the ladies will just come flocking to the hobby, right?  That's the thing, right there- we make 'female space marines' and we'll all be surrounded by beautiful awesome women that enjoy the things we like!

Sorry, 'feminists' of 40k- I have to be honest with you.  If women aren't playing at your wargaming table, it's got nothing to do with a 'lack of representation'.  It's probably the radical notion that wargames don't appeal to women the same way they do men.  And there's female players at my wargaming table quite often, but by no means a 50/50 split.  If they're not at yours, I'd chance it to say it's probably you that's running them off.  After all, you guys do come off like a bunch of sexual predators.

No, Warhammer 40k does not need a 'ban' list because you can't control your emotions like an adult.

Recently, there has been much discussion in the Magic: the Gathering community regarding some Jeremy guy getting banned.  For the most part, I don't particularly give a shit about this guy.  Apparently he had some pretty volatile opinions, and said something rude about a cosplayer- which led to a bunch of people demanding he be banned from playing, his cards burned, his manhood removed, his mother beaten, and his online game account being banned.  They got two out of five, which is pretty impressive for a bunch of whining card-players that haven't been inside a woman since a doctor yanked them out and sliced the umbilical cord.

I have rather 'unpopular' opinions regarding some cosplayers, primarily those that buy costumes from someone and then want your money to show half a tiddy- and even more, I loathe the pathetic losers who pay for this half a tiddy.  So, you'll have to forgive me if I don't see this as a big deal.  But, it would seem that this lady in question had just enough pathetic incel orbiters to raise a stink on her behalf, so this Jeremy guy got banned by a company that couldn't be bothered to make sure its tournament judges weren't rapists and kiddie-diddlers.  Again, pardon me if I don't see one guy with a Youtube channel saying something rude about a chick in a costume to be such a massive problem, when you look at the bigger picture here.

Afterward, this prompted some members of the 40k Community to ask the question:  Should Warhammer 40k have a 'ban list'?  Granted, most of the people who'd ask this very question are the exact sort that probably should be ushered out themselves- you know, the perpetual outrage fetishists and a website that's basically the Buzzfeed of tabletop gaming.  Well, they fucking would, wouldn't they?

Here's this novel fucking idea:  How about we all get some intestinal fortitude and leave it to the local shop, club, or gaming group to decide who gets 'banned'?  Look, I don't care about someone's 'outside drama'.  Leave it at the door if you're gonna game, and if you can't do that then you need to fuck off.  I don't care if someone upset your favorite cosplayer, or said something nasty to you on the internet- just don't bring it in to game.  Unless someone is actually harassing you, then grow the fuck up and quit crying for a grown-up to come and protect your fragile feelings.  Oh, and 'harassment' has a real meaning, and it's a bit more complex than 'this person upset me'. 

Let me put it this way, in all honesty- do you think the average shop owner is going to give a shit about peoples' squabbles when he's hosting a tournament in his store?  No, because he's a fucking shop owner and not the local arbiter of morality.  He's going to ask you to leave your drama at the door, and boot you if you can't.  It's pretty simple, almost as if we've been doing it this way for fucking years.  Welcome to tabletop gaming, we've been handling our own shit long before you Perpetual Outrage Fetishists came in to 'save' us.

I'm no fan of actual harassment, and if it's ever revealed that this Jeremy guy actually harassed this girl?  Then fuck him, he deserves to be booted out of the tournament circuit... but let's prioritize the actual rapists, pigs, and kid-fuckers that are holding positions of power in that tournament circuit and get them out first.  And hell, as I understand there's actual evidence for the sexual predators, and not much for this Jeremy guy's 'harassment'. Imagine kicking a guy out of a nightclub because someone claims he had a pocket knife, but there's five drunk guys in the corner waving Glocks around and threatening patrons.

That's how I see this 'Jeremy Ban'.

The only 'sound' argument I've seen so far is that the Tournament Circuit and Wizards of the Coast have the right to reject him and refuse to do business with him for any reason they choose.  Which, of course, the last time I mentioned 'refusing to do business with someone for anything you like', these same fucking POF's were screaming about gay wedding cakes.  So it's nice to see we're still doing that 'it's okay when we do it' thing.

  To get on point, what kind of 'ban' is GW going to have?  I can tell you this right now, that company holds far less sway over the average FLGS than you think- and it's going to be really, really difficult for a 'list of meanies' to do anything when some guy spends hundreds of dollars in one trip and drops another $20.00 down to play in a tournament.  So, what- now these 'meanies' won't be allowed in Warhammer World or GW stores?  Oh, the fucking horror!  Now where will they go to get overpriced mediocre hamburgers or get dry-humped by sales staff?

  I don't know if you've been to a GW store lately, but if you spend enough money- they could care less if you're Interpol's most wanted international terrorist.  I doubt some 'list' of 'extreme thinkers' is going to deter them from sacking up hundreds of dollars worth of plastic models.

Tabletop Gaming has a Spineless Incel Problem.

Gamergate was a bunch of outrage over what amounted to nothing.  As I understand it, some game 'journalists' (read: 'shills') offered some girl a review in exchange for pussy, and then when someone called the shills out on being scumbags, they redirected the narrative and scapegoated a mentally ill girl to make the event about 'hating women'.  This should shock no one, as anyone who's been gaming for a while should be fully aware that games 'journalists' are a bunch of hacks, shills, and scumbags.  At the end of the day, it was just a bunch of people screeching at each other and not even having the same argument. 

I'm only saying that because it's slightly relevant.

Right now, it seems that the Perpetual Outrage Fetishists (POF's) are all over tabletop gaming, and they wouldn't be here if not for one simple (and uncomfortable) fact:  Tabletop Gaming is full of pussies. Don't believe me? 

We have communities that don't have the fucking balls to tell someone to go take a shower and wash their clothes, that's why 50% of all gaming clubs and shops have a guy that smells like someone washed a sweaty asshole with a shitty asshole and rubbed it down with a mildewed gym sock. 

At least once a month, after every release, someone cries and ragequits publicly because he didn't get the shiny toy or book he wanted.  And people try to console these entitled manchildren and get them to stick around, because we all know mewling pussies that didn't get their Codex first are just fucking pillars of the gaming community.

Speaking of quitters, we have people who openly admit to having quit the game in 3rd edition, and all they do is regularly hang around bitching about how the game sucks and how happy they are that they quit. Am I the only one that's telling these useless tumors to fuck off?

I have seen grown adult males (not using the word 'men' here) actually cry because they lost a game where you push around little plastic toy men.  And I mean, 'cry', like with actual tears streaming down their face and snot and boogers dribbling out of their noses.  I remember being broken of this behavior before I was five years old.

People complain and comment non-stop about the pricing of these gaming products, and yet they lack the self-control to be an adult and stop buying them.  And I've seen these very same people get their electricity cut off because they didn't have the money, but they damned sure had a new Imperial Knight or two when 8th edition hit. 

At this point, you could probably name about three to five 'pussy' examples you've seen in the last year or so, because those five I cited were from the last year alone.  Go ahead, try to justify it.  Nothing short of 'that person was severely mentally ill' is going to justify that kind of behavior.  This is not the behavior of well-adjusted adults.

Just like Gamergate, the Perpetual Outrage Fetishists saw an opening.  These are people who want nothing more than to whine and mewl and bitch, because as children it got them what they wanted and they didn't have a decent parent to tell them to knock it the fuck off.  It's an emerging trend, and we apparently have an entire generation full of entitled little whiny brats that've never had to adjust to reality and be adults.  It doesn't help that in an era of Social Media, we've convinced these diseased ticks that their opinion matters.

Make no mistakes, POF's are predatory little parasites.  They will go anywhere they think they can exploit someone and get their way.  They always go after the easy targets, and let's face it- being a bunch of pussies is why they're targeting our hobby. 

And while it's another rant for another blog post, it doesn't help that some of these fucking incels seem to think that kowtowing to some pink-haired harpy is going to get their little dicks tugged (spoiler: It's not).

The only way for tabletop gamers to get rid of these parasites is to toughen the fuck up and start getting defensive and actually giving a shit about their community.  I've been gaming in various ways since the 1990's, and we had none of these 'social issues' that the POF's are screaming about, because we fucking handled the real problems.  We never gave a damn about your gender, race, or orientation as long as you were there to play the fucking game- and the Perpetual Outrage Fetishists aren't here to play the fucking game, they're here to bully you into submission because no one else tolerated their shit.
