Woke: That doesn’t even make sense, stop being weird

Bespoke: Space Marines can’t be feeeeeemale because they’re all gay for each other. It’s just a giant polycule. they ain’t talking about war when they call each other “battle brother”.

    So a couple years ago my ex asks me for my opinion. I didn’t know anything about Warhammer at the time but he was all pissy and wanted to know if I thought his game was anti-feminist. “Some woman on the internet says they should be allowed to play women Astartes!”

    …I didn’t know what that meant. So, I asked some questions, followed up on them, and I’ll tell you what I boiled it down to;

    “In this super future game where science can grow people from cells, it can only grow men, and that’s because they’re clones of some guy?”

    “Okay… but they’re not actually clones of that guy. Or the guys they’re patterned off. So why is it that whatever magic super future science stuff you’re suspending your disbelief for, you can’t suspend it long enough to make women?”

    Never have gotten an answer to that one.
