Hundreds. I’m not sure where the stat about 3000 crew and families on a “average” Galaxy class came from; the Enterprise routinely only carried 1000.

“I, a person with almost zero interest in WH40K, have come across a ton of fan art of female characters, including Custodes. Some of it isn’t even pornographic!”
Lies! Nothing but sweet honied LIES! :P

I’ll agree that the drift towards taking the grimdark too seriously is a big problem with 40K, especially if you go back and look at Rogue Trader and the Second Edition, which made the parody real clear, but any fans who think women cannot be the absolute scariest and most effective warriors in the Imperium need to…

“Woke” is just a way of obscuring the epithets they really want to use behind a vague and anodyne-sounding word.

This may be true but in this case they handed it perfectly and shut down the toxic assholes.

Same people who are bitching about “woke” now are the same people who would bitch about black characters before.

The proper response to people who are butthurt about something like this being “woke” is “shut the fuck up”.

This is not hard, the emperor (GW) is a bloodsucking lich who sucks the life (money) from the Empire (players). If He declares custodes are female that’s the way it always was. New/more blood for the emperor. Any argument is heresy and must be purged.

The problem is that they don’t go away. GW could outright tell them to fuck off and they’d still do mental gymnastics to say that the insult was meant for someone else and escape to darker corners of the community. It’s just exhausting.

Maybe you should have R’d? Because you basically have the situation upside-down. The real issue is chud fans, not the company.

I, a person with almost zero interest in WH40K, have come across a ton of fan art of female characters, including Custodes. Some of it isn’t even pornographic! Clearly there’s some interest there.

I’ve been playing 40K since 1996.

Disney: How can we use the poses and designs created by Jim Lee without paying Jim Lee?

Right? I wanted to immediately shout a my computer “SARK!!!”

Remember that AT&T outage?

With Carl Weathers’ unfortunate passing and his character presumably gone from the show, there would be even less reason for her character to be revived or brought back in any sense now.

I wish they’d give her the old Poochie treatment, and have “Cara Dune died on the way back to her home planet”. Their hands would be tied at that point. No one ever comes back to life in Star Wars. Oh, wait. crap

“What are we even doing here?”

>>>”She wasn’t fired from Lucasfilm, they decided to not renew her contract. Can’t imagine that fact makes it any easier for her to sue them.”
