Games Workshop removes gender language from the “Horus Heresy” rulebook

Games Workshop’s persistent, troubled relationship with its conservative elements Warhammer Whenever Miniatures Maker tries to diversify the world of its beloved tabletop game, the fan base raises its flashpoint. But, thanks to one of the latest versions of the latest version of the game: Whether there is a female Space Marine, I found myself in the game workshop in “The Cross of Fire of Culture” for a long time before I made a debut again.

Games Workshop opened its third edition reservation last week Horus heresy, Warhammer The Derived Tabletop Game During the titular Civil War, the ongoing events took place for 10,000 years Warhammer 40k. Inspired by the series of books of the same name, Horus heresy Let players get rid of the conflict between the loyal forces of the human empire and the Legion of Traitors, which are trapped in chaos and corruption, and under the shock of Horus Lupercal, the premise of Luna Wolves’ Space Marines who oppose the Emperor.

But as they are also mastered by the players with comments and access to the latest version of the new rulebook, they also found that the game workshop has reviewed specific gender mentions during the process of creating the space oceans described in the legend in the new rulebook. As Wargamer reports, the sidebar section of the new rulebook describes the space ocean creation process, titled “Startup Process”

Although of course, of course, ambiguity – the new rulebook does not mention the possibility of a female Marine, but simply eliminates any discussion of gender altogether, which is in stark contrast to the second edition of the game released in 2022, which was criticized by progressives, at the time, it manifested at the time because its specific symbol is the creature of men, which is the creature of humans, and constitutes the creature of humans, so that the creature of humans is the creature of the humans. Trans language revolves around trans identity.

Putting aside the fact that it is a fictional process, and whatever specific gender binary is there, the creation of the Space Marine Corps has always been a transhumanist idea Warhammerso far 40k and the microcosm it provides.

The process of elevating humans to the space ocean depends on chemical, hormones and surgical transformations, adding additional organs and increasing body density and strength to become a superhuman ideal. Even if the science behind it is fictional, despite what the previous version says, there is no natural gender. If anything, it’s easy to see why fans are interested in seeing female Marines or reading trans fables.

Is it possible to be Warhammer 40kSo, a long time ago Horus heresyOver the past few years, the clumsy rulebook has wading awkwardly. Outside the 2022 rulebook, Games Workshop debated itself, largely leaving the Space Marine Corps, 40kThe most popular faction (and the faces of the company, for better or worse), is because it tries to diversify its storytelling and role models. Instead, it simply opens up to the players themselves, come up with their own custom microcosm and heads, and incorporates the power of women into their imaginations of Adeptus Astartes.

The closest game seminar itself can be said to be advancing the matter in a formal capacity, last year when it introduced Adeptus Custodes, a female member of the Emperor’s Private Guard (this faction (this faction) (this faction is very different from the Space Marines) Warhammer novel. Addition (and the statement from the game workshop) announced that despite the lack of representation in novels or physical desktop products, there is still a female hosting in an official capacity, making the company a target for right-wing cultural commentators to make choices a goal for “wokeseness”.

This is the latest example of the latest in a series of recent examples that have allowed game workshops to dominate their own progressive values and ideas, as a family, whose audience does not see Warhammer 40kThe company has long struggled to convey the irony of conservative and authoritarian politics of intentions, a grim dark future. But the decision to explicitly remove gender language from the latest version Horus heresy At least show that the company wants to continue taking steps to reflect broader diversity WarhammerDespite encountering complex legacies in the cultural war, it is still on the player base.
