      I will not touch undertale or deltarune with a 10 foot rusty pole due to my exposure to collective fanbase before either game came out. I’m sure they are fine games in their own right but the community has just mentally ruined any desire I had for them long before I would have been able to get them and try them on my own.

      I’m so glad I found Portal before I interacted with that community.

    This is why I don’t mind the cult of woke invading warhammer. Hopefully it scares away some of the actual Nazis because I just love painting minis and can’t wait for the Misters of Battle DEI edition to drop.

      Did some searching and it seems like the pushback is because Games Workshop added female characters? Am I understanding that right?

        Yeah, there were a group of male supersoldiers (custodes) who were literally written originally to be a “brotherhood” in the early lore from the 90s, and always represented that way. They changed it in a lore shitty way, essentially saying there were women custodes all along and never addressing the original lore

        Some folks were like “yo, write consistently, and if you wanna change something, just change it with new lore” and some folks were like “” ahhh fuck women! They could never hack it as my favorite character!!!"

        it literally doesn’t matter because these supersoldiers are works of science fiction, so removed from reality that they are hand built by techno gene craft. There’s nothing about the setting that would make such fiction impossible
