you should let her feel underappreciated if she doesn't start playing rugby. tell her she should behave more like the other boys. she should be better, right?
I got a little girl too, this is disappointing to me. Why can't they just make the sisters of battle more of the poster child for the game then? Or maybe push sisters of silence into more of their own faction in the game?
Yea. Its already there. Sisters of battle(adaptas soloratas) and sisters of silence. And girls can do it too. As long as their physical profiles fits the bill for a battle. War is fair to everyone, but not equal to everyone.
Valdor uses the deaths of thunder warriors to provoke an insurrection by which to test the first Space Marine legion. In a very real way, this entire thing is very similar…

It is not about logic or sense. It is about winning. About dominance. About showing that there is no escape, no recluse, no shelter from DEI.

We are all scattered and directionless against a concerted effort years in the making. This is allready the last battle for sanity....
I started playing Warhammer in 1984 when the second edition came out. Over the last 40 years I have spent literally tens-of-thousands of dollars on my hobby. If Warhammer goes DEI, I'm done. Period. I'm sick of this DEI crap from the LGBTWXYZ whatever's being shoved up my ass by the 10% on this planet who believe in this BS. I used to always believe in live and let live, but when people who were not even born or were still in diapers when the game came out start telling me what the "modern" lore is or should be, I'm done. Any publisher, who goes woke or works with woke consultants, I don't care the genre, will not get another penny from me.
1 percent of the population ruining everything. The 1 percent who do nothing but make things worse amd it's only America bowing to this agenda. Any other country puts this BS in check
I remembered that bs southpark episode where they had in their school a tttrpg club made by the girls that was huge and awesome filled by more girls than the entire school propably had... It aged like milk on the summer.
Wonder if they will remove sexy men from the cover of women's romance novels... Also, they changed the Emperor's quote on the Custodes wiki to say "These warriors" instead of "These men" on or after April 14th. It's on wayback machine.

No, they plan to sell to someone else, like Hasbro. At this point western entertainment is a failing industry looking for a buyer. The plan of winnie the pooh is coming together.
They did some probing with all the nasty tricks and low-key retconning around the times of 8th edition. Customers swallowed it, mostly. So they grew bolder...
Maybe Henry Cavill is a Lamenter in Disguise, considering what bad luck he get for the Things he like, for example "The Witcher" Series. I was considering to watch it, but now it will become "woke", thx to these heretical Woke-tards. We should offer them "The Emperor's Mercy"!
The saddest part in all this as a 40K fan is that those people are pretending like the stories aren't already full of amazing and badass diverse women with genuinely interesting stories and motivations. They just imagined that the hobby has few females because they hear some specific factions happen to be male only. Now they want the 40K universe to have dozens of stories about pure human ladies who stood up to horrors with only their bravery, faith and wit to compare with 10 000 years of the most advanced genetically and surgically modified super soldiers never ever doing anything significant enough to be noted in any book or named at any point.
how about M'shen? she killed a Primarch for crying out loud. GW only did this to cow tow and bow to DEI.....i hope they go broke.................PERHAPS WE SHOULD SEND THE REDEMPTIONISTS AFTER THEM for this Betrayal, im sure Klovis would enjoy purging that menace for LIES AND TRETCHERY
Indeed, and for anyone who reads the Hours Heresay THERE IS NO MENTION OF ANY WOMAN CUSTODIAN and the warmaster got through them all, almost killing the Emperor before he died
Games Wokeshop lol! To play devil's advocate for a minute, Astartes, and presumably Custodes, start off as male, but become asexual and sterile as part of the process of making them from the Emperor's gene seed. Are they really still men/male in the end? Possibly debatable, unless their origin sex is sacrosanct to fans, or the outward hyper-masculine/androgynous look of them is something you can't get past and you need to think of them as men. They are really asexual transhumans if anything, at least that's the way I look at them, given they weren't really bred and can't procreate themselves, eh.
I went to a Warhammer store when I was on a date with a Vietnamese girl, to show her the cool figurines and vehicles. One of the guys working there offered us to sit at a table by the window and paint figurines. They are obviously very happy to have girls do PR to bring in more girls, it was never "sexist" and "excluding women."
Vietnamese girls _really_ don't like this crap. Asian cultures are proving far more resilient to the insanity that has completely taken over these parts
This will only get worse. We're talking wheelchair bound Custodes, Trans-sisters of battle, and the Emperor of Man being retconned to a big fat angry black lesbian that can only speak in sign-language.
Remember that the folks who are wheelchair bound in this fictional world can never be evil because if one ever is, in any show ever made and we see it we will obviously now assume that all handicapped people are evil. See dr who
err... Astartes ARE Trans human. and they have "wheelchairs" aka dreadnoughts for paralyzed half dead soldiers. As for the emperor, part of his soul is probably a big angry (100% sure of THAT) black lesbian shaman. Sisters of silence have the same style of gear so it would had been an easy way to fit woman "custodes adjacent auxilaries etc".
I’d argue replacing male characters with female characters does the exact opposite of inclusion and representation,it gives the illusion that the character is strong and successful. Thats why i love the sorroritas, i’d argue they’re the coolest 40K army because they’re actually grim dark.
I don't think one female (including myself) even knows what Warhammer is. This has nothing to do with representation or whatnot, but everything with politics.
The activists themselves often say they don`t care at all. They change the hobby and go somewhere else to destroy another thing. They actually do it to everything, including female sports. And we don`t have any problems with females, really, it was male dominated everywhere but all armies are mixed now, we have two female only factions for the woman, and no faction really is stronger or weaker in the setting. The fantasy goes of course that the space marines actually conquered the galaxy with the help of others. It was a hobby welcomed by men, for men, and actually, most woman who even play the game don`t care much. The activists are mostly the same as always, left leaning soy boys who at the same time probably are the people who want trans woman in female sports or any other shit, just to take something from the normal people.
@@seefoghallDon't forget about female Orks. Although they neither know or care about 40k, people like this are incredibly talented at ferreting out the one place where "diverse" characters can't exist, and forcing them in. On the upside, we could abbreviate girl-orks as "Gorks" and that's pretty meta
@@bentleyfonsworth9604 That makes no sense.... Less sense than Cavill going to Amazon because Netflix ruined his show.... Amazon DESTROYED Tolkien. Cavill signed up for this... knowing they'd do this, because I sure did, the second it was announced. Ya'll need to get better at seeing this stuff coming... Cavill ain't yo boy, hes content to be one of them.
@@natmarelnam4871 Cavill trusts people not to screw up and to actually have the talent associated with their position. He is very strict about lore and not ruining it for messaging, he's proven that and obviously he was hoping Amazon would stick to their promises. We'll see how this impacts the show, there is no guarantee it's going to be woke, some very non-woke shows on Amazon have been highly successful
Yes, but the Sororitas are religious... and the activists hate religion (and assume that the Imperium's religion is similar to Christianity) so the Adepta Sororitas are disliked/hated/ignored by these people.
Custodes are fanatically loyal to a male God-Emperor and dedicate their whole life to protect and serve him though. Who gonna tell woke crowd this shocking revelation?
I love how the Gender Studies grad from Vassar managing the official Warhammer X account gaslights everyone (including female players) by saying there were “always” female Custodians.
Word on the street is that this change was forced by Amazon so that Henry Cavill's Warhammer TV show would be required to put a female superhuman character on screen. And MANY 40K fans have already pointed out that we already have all-female armies that for whatever reason, Games Workshop isn't interested in promoting them.
As much as they scream about inclusion, they don't actually care about it. This isn't about finding a place for women. Or for "minorities". Its about destroying any unoccupied space and forcing everyone to be constantly confronted with their ideology. Its about destroying the past, because if people knew there was a time before, a time without everything being political, they might get the idea of fighting back.
It's the BlackRock investment company that also holds shares in Disney, as well as Games Workshop now apparently. They are likely the ones behind all of this.
I heard that amazon deemed the sisters of battle too religious for their taste lmao Do they even know what they are dabbling into when making the series?
And this dear people is the usual reaction when a 40k fan finds out that you're into his hobby. They don't care about the sex or skin color of the other side, they are just happy that someone cares about the same thing they do. And it has been that way for decades.
@@Runenschuppe this is actually a very good point. This weird crap doesn't belong in real hobby spaces... ANY real hobby space. If we are all picking our weirdo space armies we are just excited to have interesting and fun space armies, and they will resent any attempt to mess with/mangle their faction.
There are actually millions of competent female fighters in the 40K lore already. Only they had to earn that competence through rigorous training, faith and/or experience. And it would've been perfectly fine to give them more exposure without having to make drastic lore changes.
The black rock and cia only care about destruction. They don't care about "representation". They want to destroy everything so "everything is political" and so they can continue with their plans.
@@sevenproxies4255 Well for one, custodes are not the same as space marines. There's no real lore reason as to why they couldn't be female, although they've always been viewed as hyper masculine. I'm just too used to the concept of female super soldiers, not just from lore outside of 40k like female spartans in Halo, but also female super soldiers in 40k itself, to find the inclusion of a single female custodian at one point in the lore to be that lore breaking. Honestly, I think primaris marines are a more significant change in the lore. A female custodian is going to look and behave the exact same as a male one when they're in their armor, so I don't see the issue.
@@JohnnyRico118 Except for the fact that every single text about them prior to this debacle has described Custodes as men, and that they're drafted from the SONS of Imperial Nobles, and they're constantly refered to as a BROTHERHOOD. That's ample reason enough. The only reason why GW is doing this is to pander to the left. You know it as well as I do that there is no valid, creative reason behind it
The traitor war-host stands before us. Yet we stand in defiance despite their insistence that we are outnumbered. We keep the gate of 40k. They may have subdued other IPs, but we cant allow them to subdue and subvert 40k. Not this time. We need to send a message that Warhammer 40000 is different. That we will not suffer the tourist, nor the casual, nor the apologist. Not one single step backward. My armor is contempt. My shield is disgust. My sword is hatred.
Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. -George Orwell 1984
I think what we are forgetting is that DEI is coming after everything. sadly this may seem fairly unpopular but people will need to gatekeep there hobbies to keep it from turning into a political mess.
Exactly gatekeep the shit out of your pastimes and hobbies, because this bat shit ideology is most definitely going to turn its evil eye and gaze on you at some point. Remember Tolkein said it best ! "Evil cannot create anything new, they can only corrupt and ruin what good forces have invented or made."
Yup. Which is why it keeps happening. People say, "oh that's a different company we'll be fine". A year or two later, The -Night Lords- gender studies grads have thoroughly infiltrated their favorite hobby and it's too late. So they jump ship, and then the process repeats itself elsewhere
Hello! I've been following your content for a short time and the controversy is very frustrating. To hear your opinion on it from a female perspective (while also being a fan of the setting) is comforting since I've been on the fence in this whole time.
Women already had a lot of representation with the Sisters of Battle and even within the Adeptus Army there was already the Sisters of Silence. So it's not like the fan base had a problem with women, just a problem with retcons. Especially ones where the point seems to be to increase DEI in the Imperium of all things. But they already added black Vikings to the Space Wolves a little while ago in their official art so I suppose it's not a surprise.
I just downloaded the game on ps plus a week or two ago and was considering buying the DLC until all of this came out. I believe Blackrock and Vanguard have taken investment positions in the company and that is where this nonsense is coming from.
Lauren I totally agree with you, and you need to stand strong with your beliefs. I highly appreciate it. It's OKAY to let men and boys have their own spaces, just as it's OKAY to let Women and girls have their own. Also. I'm not sure if you have already (I'm assuming you didn't, because I couldn't find this video no matter how many times I searched it on CZcams) you should definitely add tags to it. Like 'Lauren Chen' "Warhammer 40k' etc. Just so it can get more exposure! We need this video to get more exposure! I had to go back to my history and type the exact title word for word in order to barely find this video lol. It should be findable even if only by searching a single keyword and filtering for the day!
Ironically, the types pushing this bs tend to live in parent's basements. I mean it's strongly correlated, which i guess make sense considering how bonkers their ideology itself is. You'd almost have to sit in a basement 24/7, forgoing all interaction aside from a narrow slice of equally mentally unbalanced people who share the same disorders, to come up with this insanity. Any contact with opposing viewpoints, reason, or even the outside world shatter the carefully constructed delusions it's all built upon... So a basement with an internet connection is the perfect place for an effete middle aged man to dye his hair purple, paint his nails, put on some makeup and then start bullying people online

I am so amazed that you know about Warhammer. I have been following your main channel for quite a while now and would never have thought you spent your time with the 40k lore.
I think this is the greatest mistake GW made since trashing Warhammer Fantasy. Imagine how big Warhammer fantasy would be now if it had been around for the full cycle of the Total War games. Huge missed opportunity. Female custodes are not only going to devalue custodes but also Space marines since canonically Custodes are even more formidable than Space Marines with the possible exception of the grey knights. So this elite group of warrior monks can’t even hold the candle to a woman.
You hit the nail on the head. Why would someone who doesn't play or read any of the martial of a something like this care if it's more "inclusive". Besides wanting people as miserable as they are.
There's a reason why in WWI and WWII, women are not in the frontline. Sure, there are nurses that are there, but the women does not have to be in trenches dealing with all the brutality, stenches and hostile environment. Women are more stealthier than brutal and if they're going to win a war, it's not through physical force, it's through out thinking their opponents. Lore should be respected, but we live in a world now that lore doesn't mean as much anymore.
Miss Chen, respectfully, my beautiful sister in Christ. It genuinely shocks me to hear an attractive woman such as yourself talk to with authority about 40k how the hell did that come about and do you have hope for the Amazon show? The fallout show was actually respectful of the source material but as you seem to know the 40k universe kind of has to be a cgi shitshow and frankly there are no commies in 40k so how can Hollywood make a show about it? Also go on PCC again at your earliest convenience. The 600th episode is coming up.
You and Henry should hang out and play Warhammer and live stream it. Would be like when my in laws met a 6’2 bodybuilder model who plays WOW. They just sat around floored as their assumptions were demolished
Games workshop introducing a new concept and retconning it as “always existing” has always been a thing. Example: in the Warhammer fantasy battles universe, they introduced demigryph knights. Upon introduction the pulled the whole “they have always been here, they are just new as models/lore”. So I’m not shocked.
I wonder if Lauren should check into the rights deal with Amazon and Warhammer for their streaming series and movies. Perhaps Amazon Studios with their DEI rules for productions is forcing Warhammer to change their lore so they can make the shows and canon in their own image and sell it to fans as "authentic" coming from the Warhammer company itself and not Amazon. Think about what they did to Tolkien with the Rings of Power.
I love finding out people I didn’t realise are Warhammer fans are massively into it. I ware a green baseball cap with just an Ork glyph on it, most people ignore it, but every now and again you get a knowing nod, it’s great.
“There are no bystanders in the war of life and death, no place the battle cannot reach; so fight it without remorse or relenting, for death will surely do the same.” Constantin Valdor
I hate that they are doing this. I am more of a regular Warhammer instead of 40k but still enjoy some of the 40k lore. But at least I learned that you are a 40k fan today. This made my day!
Whoa, I did not know that this channel also covered news concerning the niche science fiction universe of the grim dark future in Warhammer 40,000. The unfortunate DEI situation with Games Workshop has certainly made more than fans now painfully aware of the franchise. I was really hoping that this setting was going to debut more predominantly in mainstream media as a beacon of opportunity. Ironic since the history is full of satirical hyperboles of some of the worst characteristics of human conquest, colonization, and religious oppression.
There is probably no one more pissed off with this than Henry Cavill who was signed on to be executive producer and star in Amazon's new Warhammer 40k movie and TV show. He is a massive Warhammer 40k fan, and the Adeptus Custodes was his favourite army in the lore.
All male examples: Astartes (Space Marines), Custodes All female examples: Sisters of Silence, Adeptes Sororitas (Sisters of Battle) Mixed male/female examples: Astra Militarum, Stormcast Orks are genderless and kinda spawn like spores. And yet, they feel the need to outright lie about it.
In the dimly lit hallway of the cobra-class destroyer. Calladayce Taurovalia Kesh , the custodian, moved with purpose. Her mop, worn and frayed, was more than a cleaning tool-it was her partner in an unspoken dance. The floor, marred by countless footsteps and blood, awaited its nightly transformation. But tonight, Kesh had other plans. She wasn’t merely here to sweep away dust and grime; She was here to bear witness to a future where GW digs their own grave!
They didn't just retcon fans, there are 100% official, canon sources from decades ago explaining why there are no female custodes or space marines in general. But hey, fuck the OG writers am I right?
You know what is actually infuriating to me about this. They could have promoted the actual female factions within the Imperium of Man like the Sisters of Silence and Adepta Sororitas (Sisters of Battle), even the Co-ed factions like the Astra Militarum (The Imperial guardsmen), who have men and women grunts and officers. There is also the Officio Assassinorum, the hidden blades of the Emperor who are both men and women. Instead they do a lazy rewrite within the Custodies and think they can gaslight the market, which over the years have developed an extensive knowledge of this IP. This is on par with screwing with the Tolkien lore and that failed too as well as The Wheel of Time lore.
One of the reasons why fans are mad about such a small change is because we've all seen what happened to Marvel, Star Wars, Doctor Who, The Witcher , Indiana Jones etc etc etc We all know where this is heading and we hate it I hate female Custodes for the same reason I hate MISTERS of Silence But I still love 40k. So invest in 3D printers and pirate audio books. Not giving GW a single penny I really dont care if GW goes broke, i have full faith in the community to keep 40k alive.
The fact that they did this to the Custodes, Henry Cavill's preferred chapter, is such a slap in the face. Henry swore he would respect and stay true to the lore. So they just change it to force it on to everyone.
So not a huge lore guy but even I know that there are exclusive women only factions within the Imperium. THE SISTERS OF SILENCE ARE RIGHT THERE! They pretty much do the same job as the Custodes so you already had both a male only and female only group guarding the Emperors throne. Hell the Sisters of Silence are better at certain things than the Custodes are (Aka dealing with psyker threats). They have seen zero support in game and players have been asking for them to given an update. I also don't think they've seen any massive lore additions in probably decades at least from what I can gather and remember (I might be wrong). I don't even think Sisters of silence have any named characters, that's how badly that this doesn't make any sense. Hell you even have the Church military faction known as the Sisters of Battle aka the nuns with the guns. I bet you won't be getting any men in either of those groups... well unless...
Regarding the Black Library, I avoid audio books, just reading eye to page. However if you would like any suggestions for the future, I would suggest the "Ciaphas Cain" books and short stories by Sandy Mitchell which are of the comedy/action genre. Also the "Sisters of Battle Omnibus" by James Swallow. Perhaps the "Rogue Trader" Omnibus, (you must have already heard/read the Eisenhorn omnibus, it is normally the first 40K book that all BL readers read, but I would avoid the sequels of it). (I don't like Space Marines so I haven't read any books with them within, including the Horus Heresy.) To BL readers, have any good 40K novels without Space Marines come out recently? I'll be leaving the franchise soon and I don't want my last book to be a bad one...
I just wanted to add a bit of lore to this topic. The way you make a Custodian is that you take a little boy. You start at age of 7-ish and start pumping into him so much testosteron and super-obscure chemicals, he probably glows at night. Than he undergoes a looong series of surgeries, that basicaly pushes the boy beyond being a human. The whole time you pray really hard that he will not die in the process (happens kinda often). At the end of that process, there is no longer human. There is a 9ft tall giant, with body, that can operate with half of his brain missing and containing organs that are there specifically to make him a better fighter. Body, that can take a canonball into the chest and keep fighting, cause many times, that's what it is required of him.
Female Custodes: *exist*
Sisters of Battle: "Are we a joke to you?"
No, sister, you're not a joke. They just took away everything that made you cool, fun, and special.
Sisters of Silence: *Angry Stare while wearing their Golden Armor*
Yeah, I’d more so say Sisters of Silence, but sure. The gist is there
don't forget the sisters of silence
Woke activists: Yes.
If 300 is made today, half the Spartans would be women.

That's quite an assumption...

The saddest part in all this as a 40K fan is that those people are pretending like the stories aren't already full of amazing and badass diverse women with genuinely interesting stories and motivations. They just imagined that the hobby has few females because they hear some specific factions happen to be male only.
Now they want the 40K universe to have dozens of stories about pure human ladies who stood up to horrors with only their bravery, faith and wit to compare with 10 000 years of the most advanced genetically and surgically modified super soldiers never ever doing anything significant enough to be noted in any book or named at any point.
Also named Adepta Sororitas... And those novels already exists ^^.
how about M'shen? she killed a Primarch for crying out loud. GW only did this to cow tow and bow to DEI.....i hope they go broke.................PERHAPS WE SHOULD SEND THE REDEMPTIONISTS AFTER THEM for this Betrayal, im sure Klovis would enjoy purging that menace for LIES AND TRETCHERY
Lotara Sarrin: **casually orders around demigods like they're unruly children**
If they have always existed, why hasn't GW made a female mini in the past?
because products need to make money. not satisfy DEI psychos
Because they never existed.
Indeed, and for anyone who reads the Hours Heresay THERE IS NO MENTION OF ANY WOMAN CUSTODIAN and the warmaster got through them all, almost killing the Emperor before he died
Games Wokeshop lol! To play devil's advocate for a minute, Astartes, and presumably Custodes, start off as male, but become asexual and sterile as part of the process of making them from the Emperor's gene seed. Are they really still men/male in the end? Possibly debatable, unless their origin sex is sacrosanct to fans, or the outward hyper-masculine/androgynous look of them is something you can't get past and you need to think of them as men. They are really asexual transhumans if anything, at least that's the way I look at them, given they weren't really bred and can't procreate themselves, eh.
The warp is at play here.
Men wannabes women is just a terrible idea and creepy tbh
I went to a Warhammer store when I was on a date with a Vietnamese girl, to show her the cool figurines and vehicles. One of the guys working there offered us to sit at a table by the window and paint figurines. They are obviously very happy to have girls do PR to bring in more girls, it was never "sexist" and "excluding women."
Vietnamese girls _really_ don't like this crap. Asian cultures are proving far more resilient to the insanity that has completely taken over these parts
I'd be surprised if she went on a second date with you ;)
This will only get worse. We're talking wheelchair bound Custodes, Trans-sisters of battle, and the Emperor of Man being retconned to a big fat angry black lesbian that can only speak in sign-language.
The "americanisation" will continue. They will not stop until they destroy every franchise.
Yeah will be worse financially for them
TOXIC FEMINIST LOL.😂😂😂
Remember that the folks who are wheelchair bound in this fictional world can never be evil because if one ever is, in any show ever made and we see it we will obviously now assume that all handicapped people are evil. See dr who
err... Astartes ARE Trans human. and they have "wheelchairs" aka dreadnoughts for paralyzed half dead soldiers. As for the emperor, part of his soul is probably a big angry (100% sure of THAT) black lesbian shaman.
Sisters of silence have the same style of gear so it would had been an easy way to fit woman "custodes adjacent auxilaries etc".
I’d argue replacing male characters with female characters does the exact opposite of inclusion and representation,it gives the illusion that the character is strong and successful.
Thats why i love the sorroritas, i’d argue they’re the coolest 40K army because they’re actually grim dark.
I don't think one female (including myself) even knows what Warhammer is. This has nothing to do with representation or whatnot, but everything with politics.
A lot of girlfriends in the world are painfully aware of what Warhammer is. Mine included. 😄
Social Engineering 101
The activists themselves often say they don`t care at all. They change the hobby and go somewhere else to destroy another thing. They actually do it to everything, including female sports. And we don`t have any problems with females, really, it was male dominated everywhere but all armies are mixed now, we have two female only factions for the woman, and no faction really is stronger or weaker in the setting. The fantasy goes of course that the space marines actually conquered the galaxy with the help of others. It was a hobby welcomed by men, for men, and actually, most woman who even play the game don`t care much. The activists are mostly the same as always, left leaning soy boys who at the same time probably are the people who want trans woman in female sports or any other shit, just to take something from the normal people.
A lot do, and even they are pretty mad.

Constantin Valdor would've been very surprised to find out he had a sister.
Imagine the Custodes getting naked to lament the Emperor and not one noticed booba or missing bolter spear between the legs of some of them.

I mean, there's Adepta Sororitas
Yes, but the Sororitas are religious... and the activists hate religion (and assume that the Imperium's religion is similar to Christianity) so the Adepta Sororitas are disliked/hated/ignored by these people.

@@joshuacouture479 That may be true, but essentially they are all crusaders.
I love how the Gender Studies grad from Vassar managing the official Warhammer X account gaslights everyone (including female players) by saying there were “always” female Custodians.
Word on the street is that this change was forced by Amazon so that Henry Cavill's Warhammer TV show would be required to put a female superhuman character on screen. And MANY 40K fans have already pointed out that we already have all-female armies that for whatever reason, Games Workshop isn't interested in promoting them.
As much as they scream about inclusion, they don't actually care about it. This isn't about finding a place for women. Or for "minorities". Its about destroying any unoccupied space and forcing everyone to be constantly confronted with their ideology. Its about destroying the past, because if people knew there was a time before, a time without everything being political, they might get the idea of fighting back.
It's the BlackRock investment company that also holds shares in Disney, as well as Games Workshop now apparently. They are likely the ones behind all of this.

And this dear people is the usual reaction when a 40k fan finds out that you're into his hobby. They don't care about the sex or skin color of the other side, they are just happy that someone cares about the same thing they do. And it has been that way for decades.
@@Runenschuppe this is actually a very good point. This weird crap doesn't belong in real hobby spaces... ANY real hobby space.

Time to let it go guys, Warhammer become Wokehammer so to me is a No can do, goodbye.
There are actually millions of competent female fighters in the 40K lore already.
Only they had to earn that competence through rigorous training, faith and/or experience.
And it would've been perfectly fine to give them more exposure without having to make drastic lore changes.
The black rock and cia only care about destruction. They don't care about "representation". They want to destroy everything so "everything is political" and so they can continue with their plans.
If there's already tons of female super-soldiers in 40k, why is it so controversial that there's one more?
@@JohnnyRico118 Because it's breaking the established lore, that's why.
Did you even watch the video or are you just disingenous?
@@sevenproxies4255 Well for one, custodes are not the same as space marines. There's no real lore reason as to why they couldn't be female, although they've always been viewed as hyper masculine. I'm just too used to the concept of female super soldiers, not just from lore outside of 40k like female spartans in Halo, but also female super soldiers in 40k itself, to find the inclusion of a single female custodian at one point in the lore to be that lore breaking. Honestly, I think primaris marines are a more significant change in the lore. A female custodian is going to look and behave the exact same as a male one when they're in their armor, so I don't see the issue.
@@JohnnyRico118 Except for the fact that every single text about them prior to this debacle has described Custodes as men, and that they're drafted from the SONS of Imperial Nobles, and they're constantly refered to as a BROTHERHOOD.
That's ample reason enough.
The only reason why GW is doing this is to pander to the left. You know it as well as I do that there is no valid, creative reason behind it
The traitor war-host stands before us. Yet we stand in defiance despite their insistence that we are outnumbered. We keep the gate of 40k. They may have subdued other IPs, but we cant allow them to subdue and subvert 40k. Not this time. We need to send a message that Warhammer 40000 is different. That we will not suffer the tourist, nor the casual, nor the apologist. Not one single step backward.

I had no idea you were so well versed in Warhammer lore. And you've read through the Horus Heresy, no less! Madam, I tip my hat to you.
I think what we are forgetting is that DEI is coming after everything. sadly this may seem fairly unpopular but people will need to gatekeep there hobbies to keep it from turning into a political mess.
Exactly gatekeep the shit out of your pastimes and hobbies, because this bat shit ideology is most definitely going to turn its evil eye and gaze on you at some point. Remember Tolkein said it best !
"Evil cannot create anything new, they can only corrupt and ruin what good forces have invented or made."
Yup. Which is why it keeps happening. People say, "oh that's a different company we'll be fine". A year or two later, The -Night Lords- gender studies grads have thoroughly infiltrated their favorite hobby and it's too late. So they jump ship, and then the process repeats itself elsewhere
Hello! I've been following your content for a short time and the controversy is very frustrating. To hear your opinion on it from a female perspective (while also being a fan of the setting) is comforting since I've been on the fence in this whole time.
Women already had a lot of representation with the Sisters of Battle and even within the Adeptus Army there was already the Sisters of Silence. So it's not like the fan base had a problem with women, just a problem with retcons. Especially ones where the point seems to be to increase DEI in the Imperium of all things. But they already added black Vikings to the Space Wolves a little while ago in their official art so I suppose it's not a surprise.
I just downloaded the game on ps plus a week or two ago and was considering buying the DLC until all of this came out. I believe Blackrock and Vanguard have taken investment positions in the company and that is where this nonsense is coming from.
No, several of their writers and community managers are sadly captured by the ideology too and have been for years.
Lauren I totally agree with you, and you need to stand strong with your beliefs. I highly appreciate it. It's OKAY to let men and boys have their own spaces, just as it's OKAY to let Women and girls have their own.
Also. I'm not sure if you have already (I'm assuming you didn't, because I couldn't find this video no matter how many times I searched it on CZcams) you should definitely add tags to it. Like 'Lauren Chen' "Warhammer 40k' etc. Just so it can get more exposure! We need this video to get more exposure! I had to go back to my history and type the exact title word for word in order to barely find this video lol. It should be findable even if only by searching a single keyword and filtering for the day!
I wasn't prepared for this. Laura Chen talking about Warhammer? How is it even possible?
Thank you for being a female voice of reason. When guys argument this they are called misogynistic basement dwellers
Ironically, the types pushing this bs tend to live in parent's basements. I mean it's strongly correlated, which i guess make sense considering how bonkers their ideology itself is. You'd almost have to sit in a basement 24/7, forgoing all interaction aside from a narrow slice of equally mentally unbalanced people who share the same disorders, to come up with this insanity. Any contact with opposing viewpoints, reason, or even the outside world shatter the carefully constructed delusions it's all built upon... So a basement with an internet connection is the perfect place for an effete middle aged man to dye his hair purple, paint his nails, put on some makeup and then start bullying people online

Huge missed opportunity.
Female custodes are not only going to devalue custodes but also Space marines since canonically Custodes are even more formidable than Space Marines with the possible exception of the grey knights.
So this elite group of warrior monks can’t even hold the candle to a woman.

You hit the nail on the head. Why would someone who doesn't play or read any of the martial of a something like this care if it's more "inclusive". Besides wanting people as miserable as they are.
There's a reason why in WWI and WWII, women are not in the frontline. Sure, there are nurses that are there, but the women does not have to be in trenches dealing with all the brutality, stenches and hostile environment. Women are more stealthier than brutal and if they're going to win a war, it's not through physical force, it's through out thinking their opponents. Lore should be respected, but we live in a world now that lore doesn't mean as much anymore.
Lauren/Sargon Warhammer game stream when?
Miss Chen, respectfully, my beautiful sister in Christ. It genuinely shocks me to hear an attractive woman such as yourself talk to with authority about 40k how the hell did that come about and do you have hope for the Amazon show? The fallout show was actually respectful of the source material but as you seem to know the 40k universe kind of has to be a cgi shitshow and frankly there are no commies in 40k so how can Hollywood make a show about it? Also go on PCC again at your earliest convenience. The 600th episode is coming up.
You and Henry should hang out and play Warhammer and live stream it. Would be like when my in laws met a 6’2 bodybuilder model who plays WOW. They just sat around floored as their assumptions were demolished
Instead of adapting them selfs to the fandom.
These *Woke Scourge activists* want the fandom to adapt to them.
Lauren read Horus Heresy?
Did you just become more angelic?
I thought the same lol
The last thing I ever thought I would ever here was Lauren Chen saying, "I'm a huge Dan Abnett fan."🤯
She was already cool, but she is a thousand time more now in my eyes with this sentence ❤
Why!? 🤔
No girls allowed in my fanbase ;). Only joking
Warhammer players need to go out there and get 3D printers. Make the "Get Woke, Go Broke" moniker ring true once again for Games Workshop.
Games workshop introducing a new concept and retconning it as “always existing” has always been a thing. Example: in the Warhammer fantasy battles universe, they introduced demigryph knights. Upon introduction the pulled the whole “they have always been here, they are just new as models/lore”. So I’m not shocked.
I wonder if Lauren should check into the rights deal with Amazon and Warhammer for their streaming series and movies. Perhaps Amazon Studios with their DEI rules for productions is forcing Warhammer to change their lore so they can make the shows and canon in their own image and sell it to fans as "authentic" coming from the Warhammer company itself and not Amazon. Think about what they did to Tolkien with the Rings of Power.
Let us take a stand on the wall for our beloved Emperor… we cannot let our fandom be compromised, our brotherhood of Custodes shall remain that.
DEI=Discrimination Exclusion Intimidation
I love finding out people I didn’t realise are Warhammer fans are massively into it. I ware a green baseball cap with just an Ork glyph on it, most people ignore it, but every now and again you get a knowing nod, it’s great.
“There are no bystanders in the war of life and death, no place the battle cannot reach; so fight it without remorse or relenting, for death will surely do the same.”

I hate that they are doing this. I am more of a regular Warhammer instead of 40k but still enjoy some of the 40k lore. But at least I learned that you are a 40k fan today. This made my day!
I was already a fan before I knew you had this channel, nevermind liked 40k. Consider me subbed.
Whoa, I did not know that this channel also covered news concerning the niche science fiction universe of the grim dark future in Warhammer 40,000. The unfortunate DEI situation with Games Workshop has certainly made more than fans now painfully aware of the franchise. I was really hoping that this setting was going to debut more predominantly in mainstream media as a beacon of opportunity. Ironic since the history is full of satirical hyperboles of some of the worst characteristics of human conquest, colonization, and religious oppression.
There is probably no one more pissed off with this than Henry Cavill who was signed on to be executive producer and star in Amazon's new Warhammer 40k movie and TV show. He is a massive Warhammer 40k fan, and the Adeptus Custodes was his favourite army in the lore.
"Since the first of the Ten Thousand were created, there have always been Orcs Custodians." comming in the next update...
All male examples: Astartes (Space Marines), Custodes
All female examples: Sisters of Silence, Adeptes Sororitas (Sisters of Battle)
Mixed male/female examples: Astra Militarum, Stormcast
Orks are genderless and kinda spawn like spores.
And yet, they feel the need to outright lie about it.
I know right
Can’t wait for a video on the new Pokémon go avatar update
I'm jazzed that she's one of the few youtuber to say "Custodies" properly. 😊
8:15 To be fair, I found my wife's makeup skills translated nicely to painting miniatures.
In the dimly lit hallway of the cobra-class destroyer. Calladayce Taurovalia Kesh , the custodian, moved with purpose. Her mop, worn and frayed, was more than a cleaning tool-it was her partner in an unspoken dance. The floor, marred by countless footsteps and blood, awaited its nightly transformation. But tonight, Kesh had other plans. She wasn’t merely here to sweep away dust and grime; She was here to bear witness to a future where GW digs their own grave!
Lauren knows the deep lore if the grim dark… I’ll be in my bunk
They didn't just retcon fans, there are 100% official, canon sources from decades ago explaining why there are no female custodes or space marines in general. But hey, fuck the OG writers am I right?
You know what is actually infuriating to me about this. They could have promoted the actual female factions within the Imperium of Man like the Sisters of Silence and Adepta Sororitas (Sisters of Battle), even the Co-ed factions like the Astra Militarum (The Imperial guardsmen), who have men and women grunts and officers. There is also the Officio Assassinorum, the hidden blades of the Emperor who are both men and women. Instead they do a lazy rewrite within the Custodies and think they can gaslight the market, which over the years have developed an extensive knowledge of this IP. This is on par with screwing with the Tolkien lore and that failed too as well as The Wheel of Time lore.
One of the reasons why fans are mad about such a small change is because we've all seen what happened to Marvel, Star Wars, Doctor Who, The Witcher , Indiana Jones etc etc etc
We all know where this is heading and we hate it
I hate female Custodes for the same reason I hate MISTERS of Silence
But I still love 40k.
So invest in 3D printers and pirate audio books.
Not giving GW a single penny
I really dont care if GW goes broke, i have full faith in the community to keep 40k alive.
The fact that they did this to the Custodes, Henry Cavill's preferred chapter, is such a slap in the face. Henry swore he would respect and stay true to the lore. So they just change it to force it on to everyone.
So not a huge lore guy but even I know that there are exclusive women only factions within the Imperium. THE SISTERS OF SILENCE ARE RIGHT THERE! They pretty much do the same job as the Custodes so you already had both a male only and female only group guarding the Emperors throne. Hell the Sisters of Silence are better at certain things than the Custodes are (Aka dealing with psyker threats). They have seen zero support in game and players have been asking for them to given an update. I also don't think they've seen any massive lore additions in probably decades at least from what I can gather and remember (I might be wrong). I don't even think Sisters of silence have any named characters, that's how badly that this doesn't make any sense. Hell you even have the Church military faction known as the Sisters of Battle aka the nuns with the guns. I bet you won't be getting any men in either of those groups... well unless...
Regarding the Black Library, I avoid audio books, just reading eye to page. However if you would like any suggestions for the future, I would suggest the "Ciaphas Cain" books and short stories by Sandy Mitchell which are of the comedy/action genre. Also the "Sisters of Battle Omnibus" by James Swallow. Perhaps the "Rogue Trader" Omnibus, (you must have already heard/read the Eisenhorn omnibus, it is normally the first 40K book that all BL readers read, but I would avoid the sequels of it).
(I don't like Space Marines so I haven't read any books with them within, including the Horus Heresy.)
To BL readers, have any good 40K novels without Space Marines come out recently? I'll be leaving the franchise soon and I don't want my last book to be a bad one...
It feels like some shady people are ultimately trying to ruin Henry Cavil's career.
I just wanted to add a bit of lore to this topic.
The way you make a Custodian is that you take a little boy. You start at age of 7-ish and start pumping into him so much testosteron and super-obscure chemicals, he probably glows at night. Than he undergoes a looong series of surgeries, that basicaly pushes the boy beyond being a human. The whole time you pray really hard that he will not die in the process (happens kinda often).
At the end of that process, there is no longer human. There is a 9ft tall giant, with body, that can operate with half of his brain missing and containing organs that are there specifically to make him a better fighter. Body, that can take a canonball into the chest and keep fighting, cause many times, that's what it is required of him.
