i like snakes and a free palestine

aside from the aforementioned affection towards snakes, i also hold a great deal of fondness in my heart for hollow knight (i am extremely normal™ about collector), rain world (miros birds are the best creature i will not be accepting criticism on this), command and conquer red alert 2 (kirov reporting), in stars and time (one must imagine sisyphus stuck in a time loop), and about a million other things.
i played through slay the princess and spent the whole game pretty much completely ignoring her in favor of dicking around with the narrator (there is no good ending because the narrator always dies) and the voices (contrarian is the best one), which probably says a lot about me (i am aromantic asexual (this will not stop me from rebugging horny™ shit that i am tangentially interested in)).
fuck it i'm a girl now (still he/they tho)
i also like to draw and make games & shit.

Female Custodes well and truly confirmed.

I don't really follow a lot of the Games Workshop news lately, but I'm on the periphery of a few groups that are really plugged into it, and today it was announced that the next episode of one of the (surprisingly well-animated) CG shows is just straight-up going to feature a female Custodian, armoured up and kicking ass. So no, a 'rogue intern' did not post something on Twitter that 'people were fired for,' according to someone's dad who totally works at Nintendo and lives in another Canada...

Watching the outrage farming nerd boys on Twitter is delicious.

I want the fascists in the 40k fandom to know they not welcome and every time gw does something like this I grow stronger.

Give us femme space marine (no blood angels don't count)

Masc sister of battle

Make the emperor return but as an explicit trans girl

As much as GW sucks this is objectively cool both for normal reasons (more cool gal miniatures for warhammer) and awesome reasons (the amount the chuds are going to be pissed off by this)

The only downside is now I kinda want to get some custodes, especially if they make a kill team box with ladies on in it.

There's a very different takeaway from how it was handled, which was to say that it's 'always been this way in the Warhammer 40,000 universe' versus what people were getting mad about - which was not how it was said - 'it has always been this way in reality and we don't care what Lexicanum says.'

I was (naively) surprised this was as explosive as it was. GW already established that female Custodes were a thing. Are they going to react to every-single-instance of female Custodes this way? Are they still going to be reacting this way to female Custodes 2 years from now?

It's the usual cast of faux culture war grifters that make a few cents on every tweet where they can whip a few nerds into a frenzy by reminding them how they were cruelly lied to by GW, or some other such bunk. The outrage comes mostly from outside the fandom, which is both hilarious and sad.
