The never-ending battle against woke Hollywood and SJW infused entertainment media [trigger warning]

the "funny" thing is... there are any armies that includes lots of women in the fighting force, but the representation in the models' range is somewhat unfair.

Pick Astra Militarum and officiers "attached" to them. Lorewise, both genders are well represented.
models wise?

A female High Commander? You've got it
A female Commissar? You've got it
A female Inquisitor? You've got it
A female grunt, the ones that die in spades? nope, male only cannonfodder is fine
A female Bullgryn? you know, the big dumb brutes with the same intelligence as a poorly trained dog? nope, of course they're male

I'm thinking of starting 40K with the Imperial Guard, but I'm going to wait to see what falls out of this current culture war before I drop $1000 on a new collection.

That part bugs me too. Maybe not the Ogryn part but I wouldn't mind if one in five of my Astra Militarum models were ladies.

One can argue if you don't see female grunt soldiers in 40K, it is far scarier and far less progressive. Like Hand Maid's Tale, type stuff.

Do we not think that perhaps the female custodes thing is maybe being blown out of proportion? I don't really follow the 40k lore so perhaps I am ignorant, maybe blissfully so.

You can't say that here, this thread isn't actually for discussion.

The dossier of mod approved memes will be sent to you shortly.

Too true.

But that feels dangerously like the opening to a discussion. Lets try to keep this thread on track, please. I'll be honest, my meme-game isn't as on point as yours, so this is the best I can do.

fwiw if you can get past the clickbaityness of it all, i thought learning about the different GW retcons was genuinely interesting. Made me feel old as i remembered when a lot of it happened lol.

 

[NIGHTBRINGER]

But that feels dangerously like the opening to a discussion.

Yeah... "discussion" . I had left you alone just as I had promised, but you keeping poking your head in and trying to stir shit up. You're fishing for it but I'm not sure why...

(hence this whole garbage heap of a thread)

You wrote that on Feb. 14, 2022. That's 801 days ago. How sad that you can't disengage from a thread that you feel is a whole heap of garbage even after so much time. Go hang out with some friends who actually want to be around you; who may interested in what you might have to say. Surely there must be someone in your life who meets that criteria.

Maybe do a little bit of self-reflection. Everything you said on the original subject matter turned out to be horseshit, while time has, predictably, proven us wise. Amazon's Rings of Power was a disaster. As for Disney, nearly every major movie they released last year lost money, sometimes in the order of hundreds of millions of dollars. I don't look down at a person who is a fool in regards to any particular subject, we all were at some point, but someone who doesn't learn or evolve is destined to remain a fool forever.

You offer me nothing of intellectual value. I haven't gone bothering you on other threads. I left you alone as I had promised, even after my predictions were fully validated. It would have been easy to poke fun at you, but I held true to my word. However, you can't seem to let it go, dropping your snide remarks into our discussions.

As I said before, I don't have interest in engaging with you. You showed your colours the first time. However, if you are so desperate to do so, I have one solitary stipulation. You get the mods to agree that it is no holds barred. No forum rules or etiquette for you to hide behind. All forum rules suspended, anything goes... out in the public for all to see. If you can secure that one single precondition, I'd happily verbally cut you down. If not, just move along and engage with something that isn't a "whole garbage heap".

 

[Putzfrau]

Relax dude, i'm glad disney and all of their creatively bankrupt pieces of garbage are losing money. I don't care about something that happened 2 years ago, and yes i still visit and comment on the same threads of the same forum i've been on for the last like... 15+ years at this point? The thread has objectively funny memes and i like to read scalnex casually burn the ccp. I don't sit around for two years plotting about how to get back at someone that i got into an argument one time on the internet with. It wasn't that serious then, and it's definitely not that serious now. I don't have anything to say most of the time so i don't say anything, and i only answered that dudes question because this thread is specifically not for discussion. I was told those exact things in no uncertain terms. I was trying to be lighthearted about something that's 2 years behind us haha i'm sorry.

I didn't respond to you at all, and when you did engage with me negatively, I tried to be lighthearted about it with something pertaining to thread in a the medium this thread is predominantly in (videos and memes). We clearly don't agree on everything, but I can clearly see I missed the mark on this.

I dunno man, what do you want from me. Block me and you won't see what i say. /shrug

 

[NIGHTBRINGER]

and yes i still visit and comment on the same threads of the same forum i've been on for the last like... 15+ years at this point?

I'm assuming that you enjoy those threads. You made it perfectly known how you felt about this thread and it was not positive. Having a negative view of this thread is perfectly reasonable, but why keep coming back to it then? If you don't like it, why not move onto something you enjoy? Otherwise it comes off a little hypocritical.

It wasn't that serious then

No, no... it was serious then. Without any just cause, you were insinuating racism on my part. You'll find people aren't too appreciative of such assertions. They should not be made lightly, because they will never be taken lightly.

In case you've forgotten, here it is:

It's okay to modernize something as long as it doesnt involve making black dwarves. Dont worry, i can read between the lines hahahaha.

So either you are misremembering or being deliberately dishonest. Not only that, but a moderator (@Scalenex ) had to step in and point it out to you and explain that it was a "very serious personal attack".

This is a clearly insinuated personal attack that the people who do not like the recasting are racist. That's a very serious personal attack.

and i only answered that dudes question because this thread is specifically not for discussion. I was told those exact things in no uncertain terms.

Actually the rest of us have had many civil discussions (and even friendly disagreements). The only times things have gone awry was when you interjected yourself into the discussion in an inappropriate manner. You'll notice that not one single person asked @Karnus not to engage in the discussion. We all welcome him to the thread.

I didn't respond to you at all

Admittedly that's true, you did not directly respond to me. However, I can read the subtext:

Glad to see this thread is still alive and kicking.

Combined with your previous description of this thread "hence this whole garbage heap of a thread", your statement above comes off as a jab. Especially as this is a thread of my creation.

You can't say that here, this thread isn't actually for discussion.

The dossier of mod approved memes will be sent to you shortly.

This comes off as bitter. As detailed above, the rest of us have had no issue having discussions. And the meme comment seems obviously directed at me, since I was the one posting the memes leading up to it.

It's easy avoid responding to someone directly, while still taking a shot at them.

I dunno man, what do you want from me.

I guess I wanted you to stay true to the resolution that was arrived at the conclusion of our first engagement. Too much to ask for? (especially as you never liked this thread in the first place).

 

[Putzfrau]

No bitterness dude, that's my bad. Honestly, thought it was kinda funny. I'm sorry I'm not the same as i was two years ago. I was here for the memes, blood games comes monthly is hilarious.

And to be fair i did have civil discussions with other people in this very thread. But hands up, i get it dude. I'm taking responsibility for the fact that i could have been more careful with how my return to this thread was worded. I'm sorry, honestly meant nothing by it. I dont care about any of this stuff, the memes are funny, my comment made me laugh and i see it clearly did not make you laugh.

I thought i could hang out, water under the bridge. it's not the case and that's cool dude. I'm not exactly looking to get into a fight with a stranger on the internet. Just not really something that gets me jazzed up anymore, ya know? Still gonna lurk tho cause, you know. The memes. /shrug, what can you do.

Cheers.

 

[Scalenex]

I understand that a problem with communicating via text or forum post that you don't get with verbal communication is that you cannot communicate tone, which can lead to miscommunication and misunderstandings.

But based on your past behavior. I am less inclined to give you the benefit of the doubt like I did before, so I am forced to interpret your statements in a negative light.

Your standard method seems to be to say something provocative and then backpedal it a bit with a non-apology apology combined with implications that basically "You are overreacting bro." then you low key play the victim.

It's getting old.

This is very passive aggressive.

Relax dude,

SNIP

This is disingenuous and seems like a nonapology.

And this whole things reeks of a "Why so mad bro? it's all in good fun. Don't overreact."

If you cannot be civil on the controversial threads, just don't post on those threads.

You can either issue a real apology, or you can just leave the thread alone altogether. I am not tolerating a hint of snarks or barbs in your next post here.
