And please remember, that GW is working towards this show for several years now. What many people have forgotten is, that GW went after content creators, who produced warhammer content. When Syama Pederson started to publish the Astartes series, GW saw how widely accepted it could be, and started to send out cease and desist orders to content creators, threatening to take legal actions, if they did not remove their content. Then, they offered them to work for GW (but had to sign NDAs, so nobody can talk about it). The content creators faced a choice to either join GW or stop their entire channel and waste all the work they had done for it. Btw. Syama Pederson did join GW, but he does not talk about it, as he is not allowed to. So, looking at how vehemently GW is forcing Warhammer to go mainstream, I think they will do anything that Amazon demands from them, resulting in the total destruction of their lore and everything that made Warhammer great.

@@DistortedChrist sure ill explain my reasoning is the writers have wanted a female custodian for a while and have said so but were told no by previous higher ups and it is because they want to be more inclusive in what is effectively the perfection of humanity in service of the emperor the lore for the stodes is written the avoid the subject all together to leave this as an option other than one quote which is they were exclusively recruited from the infant sons of the nobles on terra theres is no reason for there not to be a female custodian and there is no reason for a female custodian other than that there are female nobles also so and the arguement of women are needed to make babies given how small the pool they can recruit from is doesnt even rule out every case of the potential of a female custodian it just makes them alot rarer. i dont believe people are doing it out of being phobic or anti anything tbh more protective over what they have and they dont like things changing for no reason which i understand but custodes have been written so ambiguously in the past that the are barely human let along male or female so having different pronouns occasionally doesnt really effect the army for me and does include women in the super soldiers club for once

In the 1980s GW sold miniatures in sets called blister packs, and as Merrett explained "the intention was that upwards of 25% of all models would be female." That didn't last because "retailers kept complaining to us that customers weren't buying the female models and could we not include any in their restocks." By the time Warhammer 40,000 was designed, GW made sure its poster boys were, well, boys to ensure they'd sell.

Just to clarify, space marines are made using a gene seed that can’t be used on females due to hormone differences and some other lore specific stuff.

What you want to be called is completely immaterial, what colour your hair is or who you want to have sex with is personal, and if you keep your personal stuff at home and do your job then the actual left could not care one shit, one way or the other.
"I never wanted this, I never wanted to unleash my legions. Together we banished the ignorance of Old Night, but you betrayed me, you betrayed us all. You stole power from the Gods and lied to your sons. Mankind has only one chance to prosper, if you will not seize it then I will. So let it be war, from the skies of Terra to the Galactic rim. Let the seas boil, let the stars fall. Though it takes the last drop of my blood, I will see the galaxy freed once more and if I can not save it from your failure Father, then let the galaxy burn!" This shouldn't fit this well.
Larian studio's boss said something like "investors are a plague for entertaiment". True.
It makes sense if you think about it. Investors want everyone to be docile consumers. Artists want to present something thought-provoking, which usually requires creating a disturbance.

@@torch_fire9218 The CEO of Blackrock has stated in interviews to the effect of “companies won’t diversify unless we force them to, so that’s what we’re doing”. Activists are useful tools for getting DEI written into law, but there’s a handful of rich guys funding everything. Why? I have no idea, probably not out of the goodness of their hearts or to make less money though. 🤷♂️ But I’m a cynic, I think all this culture war stuff is just a smokescreen so the top can funnel more money from what’s left of the middle class.

“We’ve always been at war with east Asia,” was a perfect reference. Well said Drinker, well said!
Agreed. When I saw that response I thought, that is an Orwellian fucking statement right there if I've ever seen one. And sure enough the Drinker picked right up on it.
It has been amusing to witness all the casuals and tourists employing various forms of mental gymnastics in a pathetic attempt to defend this BS retcon. First, let us bask in the resounding echoes of the ancient defense, _"B-bu-but this isn’t GW’s first retcon."_ Ah, yes, the timeless art of precedent defense, why bother with the sacred integrity of lore when you can simply...adjust? After all, change is the only constant in the universe, especially when it violates the very fabric of established canon. Then, we're graced with the mantra of minimization, _"B-bu-but it is a minor change."_ A minor change, they say, as if tampering with the genetic makeup of the Adeptus Custodes is akin to changing the color of their capes or perhaps giving them a new holiday to celebrate. Why, it's practically insignificant if you squint hard enough and forget everything that made them iconic. Ah, and who could forget the delightful dismissal of contradictory lore? _"B-bu-but all the lore that contradicts this retcon is all unreliable irrelevant source."_ With a single wave of the retcon wand, decades of backstory, character development, and intricate world-building are dismissed as mere distractions. "Unreliable," they say, as if the keepers of the lore themselves were but mere scribes guessing at the truths of the universe, their pens filled with the ink of uncertainty. But the cherry on top of this delicious cake of denial, the ever-eloquent, _"B-bu-but….DURRR."_ Truly, what rebuttal could possibly stand against such a well-constructed argument? It's as if the very essence of debate was distilled into a single, unassailable word, cutting through logic and reason like a chainsword through butter. In this glorious drama of retcon and rebuke, let us not lose sight of the most entertaining spectacle of all: the tourists, those wandering souls adrift in the sea of lore, clinging to their rafts made of excuses and justifications. As they bravely sail into the storm, armed with nothing but their wits and a profound sense of denial, we cannot help but admire their dedication to the cause. After all, it takes a special kind of devotion to stand firm in the face of such overwhelming evidence to the contrary, to smile in the eye of the retcon hurricane and say, _"B-bu-but…DURRRR."_ Truly, we are blessed to witness such feats of mental gymnastics, as the tourists vault over logic, somersault past consistency, and land gracefully in the safety net of their own making.

@@Octaviu5 The only real reason that female space marines didn't exist is they were not marketable to their audience in the 80's. They released two figures with their own story lines, and no one bought them. They then decided that no one wanted them, and built the lore after that point. I don't think there should be - don't get me wrong - but it's pretty undeniable that this company is, was, and always will be about profit - they are infamous for designing a figure and then trying to build some rules around that figure - rather than the other way around. Same goes here - no one wanted female space marines, because no one bought them when they did release them, so they invented the lore to go with that. Why the diversity people are trying so hard to be included in a space nazi facist regime is beyond me.
Just finished this book so I greatly appreciated the well-contextualized reference!

Hey drinker! I am a huge Warhammer nerd. I've been in the hobby for many many years, and I have a fairly robust understanding of the lore. I just want to point out an important lore-error in this video: Custodes and Space Marines, though both representing humanity, and both being a type of 'super-soldier,' are entirely genetically different from each other. From a pure-lore standpoint, firstborn Space Marines (who are being replaced by a newer generation known as the Primaris) MUST be male. The same may not be true about the new primaris marines, but we don't have much info on them in the lore yet. This 'male-only' thing has been repeated and explored in great detail in multiple novels, so there is basically no chance to argue that female firstborn marines could exist. The same is not true of custodes. There are only ever 10,000 custodes, never more, and there is exactly ONE mention of their sex in the lore, stating: 'the *original* 10,000 were taken from the firstborn males of the noble houses.' There is no other mention in the lore about the custodes' sex. The process that creates them also doesn't require male-specific organs and physiology as well, so in-universe reason that a custodian couldn't be female. Them saying that there have been females since the original 10,000 though? Ridiculous lol
I had heard the Blackrock money thing and assumed it was a joke. This explains a lot.

They managed to butcher, bastardise and ruin Star Wars and I'm afraid they will manage to do the same with 40k.

There are some girls who are into tabletop wargaming. But in my experience they are usually some of the most vocal on twitter and reddit about how much they hate the pandering. They aren't playing 40k DESPITE it being 40k. They're playing it BECAUSE its 40k.
In the grim dark 21 century, there is only war... with GW, Disney and the rest of the chaos corporations.
If Black Rock were a planet in the 40k universe, I would hope the World Eaters would pay it a visit.
Wasn’t black rock one of GWs earliest investors?
they would be a chaos world already, probably controlled by Emperor's Children

The Cavill clip hits so hard cause Custodes was his army too. Poor man can't have anything without it being fucked with.

Heck they also nerfed them bad in their new edition too.

@@Remixersoloman if you think that Henry doesn't care about the lore of the things he's invested in...I mean the dude had arguments over the portrayal of Geralt. Yeah, dude obviously doesn't care about lore.
@@Remixersoloman Warhammer has a surprising amount of realism with their ridiculous high fantasy, it's part of what makes it so great. Females are not necessary to be space marines or custodes. Male Space Marines and Custodes have their genitalia removed, because it is also not necessary. All they need is muscle, limbs, and extra organs. The male body naturally have the advantage in muscle mass, enough said. That is why they are the Space Marines. If a woman Space Marine existed, it would be more difficult to create and more costly. From the genital mutilation, increasing muscle growth, etc etc. Male already is winning in terms of efficiency and resources in that regard. You would just be making the woman into a man while it's already been/being genetically altered. What's the point? You realize Space Marines are basically clones of their respective Primarchs, right? Sisters of Battles are not Space Marines, not even close. But they fit. They are literally ripped in half and used by Grey Knights, their blood is a protective layer against Daemons/Warp magic. Anyways, if it doesn't change the faction identity then why do it? What's the actual point?

GW got rid of squats (space dwarfs) back in the nineties. Any mention of squats would get you banned from their message boards. They never have been particularly interested in cannon consistency.
“The rewards of tolerance are treachery and betrayal.” This quote has ceased to be satirical, and has become reality.
It always was, people were just too foolish to realize...
That's literally the point of satire. To exaggerate reals things to a comical level to instill a lesson, parable, or warning. Parody is just exaggerated comedy for the sake of being funny. People really do need to learn the difference.
I try never to wish bad things on people. However, if I woke up tomorrow and read that Blackrock had cratered I'd close my eyes, smile, and whisper "Thank you, Lord.".

@@user-ko1hi1fy9z DnD and warhammer were very obscure hobbies once too.
I have to correct the "6 minutes" statement of the 80's. About the "generic" nature and design. It was done like that on purpose so you could make your own army. They added parts when they could produce the models. I think it's easy to say "they hadn't designed it yet" however that wasn't correct. They had designed it, just couldn't build the models.
How long until y’all think Henry will quit?
To quote GW from the past: "The world of 40k is satirical not aspirational" I wish they'd stand by this quote.
It really is a situation where they want it to be evil and grim-derp but also rainbow-gay at the same time. And it just doesn't work
@@dinoblacklane1640rainbow gay? There have always been gay people in 40k like whole short stories, and in a galaxy of trillions not one women was capable of being a custodies.

I came to know the WH40K community through videogames like Dawn of War, and Space Marine. Will probably never play the tabletop because I have no money and no one to play with in the city and country I live in, but I have read plenty of lore through the years and while I am familiar with the retcons and changes GW has done through the ages, I think they went too far NOT because of the lore change, but the way they handled their response to the community and WHY they did it, as mr. CriticalDrinker so fabulously explains in his video. This brings to mind how the retcon was done in the Horus Heressy when an anonymous guardsman's sacrifice is the trigger for the Emperor to defeat Horus being changed was a disservice to how this was the epitome of humanity's sacrifice as a whole, when the clear underdog would still go up there and wail on fucking Horus out of all people... our willingness to go against impossible odds in order to save what we love.... This is exactly like that. I'm pretty sure the community as a whole won't take it lying when the company spews bullshit and barefaced lies to the fans. And believe it... GW doesn't want to make the nerds and dorks we are not consume it's products, the virtue signalers sure won't buy what they sell, as usual. Great catch there, mr. CriticalDrinker!
