Warhammer fans are buzzing with excitement and controversy over a revelation that's shaking up the lore of the game. In the latest edition of Warhammer 40,000, Games Workshop, the creators of Warhammer, dropped a bombshell: the Adeptus Custodes, those legendary warriors sworn to protect the Imperium, aren't just a boys' club after all. Nope, turns out they've got women fighting alongside the men.
The news hit social media like a warp storm, especially on X (formerly Twitter), where fans are split down the middle. On one side, you've got folks cheering for the inclusion of female Custodians, thrilled to see more diversity in their favorite game. On the other side, there are those who are flipping out, accusing Games Workshop of bowing to "woke" culture and ruining the game's lore.
But let's dig deeper into the drama. Some fans are pointing fingers, saying this move breaks the established canon of Warhammer. They argue that for decades, it's been crystal clear that the Custodes were all male. Now, with this bombshell revelation, it feels like the whole universe is being rewritten.
On the flip side, there are voices saying, "Chill out, it's just a game." They argue that adding female Custodians doesn't mess with the existing story lines or ruin anyone's fun. Plus, they say, it's about time Warhammer caught up with the times and embraced inclusivity.
Underneath all the arguments, though, there's this nagging feeling that some fans just don't want women in their clubhouse. It's like they're putting up a big "No Girls Allowed" sign on the gates of the Imperium.
So, what's the big deal, anyway? Well, beyond the world of Warhammer, this debate touches on bigger issues in the gaming community. It's about representation, inclusivity, and who gets to decide what's "canon" in our favorite fantasy worlds.
As the dust settles on this controversy, one thing's for sure: Warhammer fans won't be putting down their swords anytime soon. Whether you're Team Inclusivity or Team Lore Purist, one thing's certain – the battle for the soul of Warhammer is far from over.
I have been into Warhammer since the Rouge Trader days and the whiny babies crying about what happens now would literally explode if they was in the hobby back then xD. The Lore then was made by proper weirdos and not made for a big market so a female Space Marine was nothing then ^^
