you know they say we're ruled by house targaryen as a united continent but that's all a mummer's farce its not in the constaetuion we're actually all sovereign citizens of each of the seven kingdoms they try and divide us by saying "oh you're commiting treason by denying targaryen rule" no im simply following the law of the land ANDAL COMMON LAW which says i am my own peasant i tend my land and that land never changed ownership from the seven kingdoms to "the realm" you think you can brow beat me with your dragons you know theyre screaming "i love the stranger i love eating babies" pot bellied scaled lizard people they dont rule over me ill fucking beat them to death with my bare hands. anyway super male vitality check out the apothecary haggle for good coin

i thought about it and you know what? i am not particularly happy. they probably thought that they could explore the gray area so gatekeepers won't get mad, but 1) they got mad anyway 2) female custodes imply that the emperor, after all, wasnt a misogynistic fuck who didn't want to give power to women, and it is Just A Coincidence that women can't be astartesized. which lore explanation is more misogynistic - that it is just nature, that women can't be that type of ultra traumatized war machine, or that the guy who created these war machines WAS A FUCKING FASCIST AND MISOGYNIST IN THE FIRST PLACE and tailored the system so that women won't be allowed to have overwhelming firepower to themselves? think about it even so, i still like to see real life misogynists angry. keep it going!

This is about where I'm at with it as well. When you consider why GW did it, I'm at a loss for why they thought this would be an effective way to solve the issues of sexism in the hobby. That issue (while it has been getting better) is still deeply entrenched. It, at times, can extend to their actual staff at GW stores ignoring women by not checking them out or discouraging them from buying any product. Addressing that would take a huge effort, which they don't seem inclined to do, but I imagine it would be more effective.

They also did the rollout as sloppily as possible. A friend pointed out that this seems like them testing the waters with a 'minor' faction before rolling it out with the Space Marines. Retconning the change in it also super lazy and keeps them from having to own or explain it in the lore. The Custodes took huge losses during Lion's Gate, why not try to make female Custodes to stem the bleed and go from there. But that, again, takes effort.

There's also the fact that they had to have guessed- or I at least hoped they would have guessed- that this would cause a massive backlash against women in the hobby. GW is under no obligation to prep for that, but they could have maybe chosen to stagger the release of this and the pride flag Kill Team marines so that it didn't drop and piss off a group that's already all riled up.

And finally- and this has been my problem with canon Space Marines/Custodes from the beginning- is that it allows them to continue to ignore the Battle Sisters/Sisters of Silence/female characters elsewhere. When someone asks 'hey can we see more female inquisitors/SoS/SoB/Navy/Guard?', they can point to new canonical female Custodes and go 'but you have female rep'.

grow weary of your husband’s neglect. tell tales to the servants and your companions of his violence and brutality. disappear into the night without even your trusted maidservant. spill the blood of a chicken on the floor of your husband’s studiolo. create panic, as your chastity, virtue and the nobility of your blood is well known. your letters telling of your fear and panic are found and read. flee to the villa of one of your suitors before your marriage. he is still charmed by you. make him promise to hide and shelter you. you have brought your jeweled dagger with you. open his throat. stagger onto the road, telling of your violation and pain. all of italy is in a frenzy at the actions of this cur. return home. your husband will see his peasant concubine no more. finally prepare for the birth of an heir.

also after walking into a pyre to die at the lowest moment of her 14 year old life and instead of burning to death enacting the miracle from her prophetic dreams that everyone in her family died and failed trying to do that brings magic back into the world for the first time in 300 years and three dragons who are loyal only to her and the next day there’s a giant red comet in the sky. what is this tenth grader supposed to do NOT suspect a little bit that she’s the messiah.
