I don't care why they debased their IP, or are trying to tell their customers they're stupid.

"Everyone" = less than 0.01% spastics who reside exclusively on twitter.
Wait until they find out that their "NEW AUDIENCE" has never created anything in their lives, only destroyed.

They're retarded and making mass market shit to dilute their IP and replace their problematic customers with more regime aligned consoomers.

The creative universe is so vast that retcons aren't needed. A warp storm back in time to alter the course for inclusiveness is better than nope that's how it always has been
In books character has vibro blade and later they had chain blade - that was enough to raise nerd hackles, any change is upsetting. But development, that isn't change.
Mutation vs evolution,
Leagues of Votaan ai overlords could give them synthetic gene seed blue prints and tell them to give it only to ladies, beard or no.
Chaos marines could warp to female
So easy to write it in

Maybe. But they still do it all the time.
There never was a Rogal Dorn Battle Tank. 2023 Astra Militarum Codex comes out, and it's "always been there".
Worked the same way for probably hundreds of Space Marine kits. All the weird Flyers. Centurions. Razorbacks. Basically anything not in Rogue Trader / 2nd Ed. Space Marines. Dreadknight Baby-Carriers. Characters like Morveen Vahl, Lord Leontus. Invocatus. Vashtorr. Whathaveyou.
All the crap they invented to bloat Plague Marines/Rubric Marines/Berzerkers from singular Elite choices in the CSM Codex into full-fledged armies of their own. From Plagueburst Crawlers to Eightbound to Vortex Beasts. It all "entered" the 40K universe exactly the same way female Custodes (and Custodes as a whole) did.
Is it the most elegant solution? Probably not. But nobody gave a fuck the 10,000 times GW did it before. But now it's some unforgivable violation of the lore? Gimmie a break.
And to stress it again, it worked like that for Custodes initially, when GW changed them from just normal humans into another "Elite-Space-Warrior-Derivative" cause "best-of-the-best-of-the-best-of-the-best-SIR!!!" is just shit that sells.

Yeah it's going to take some effort for them to get 40k when it's full of cults and unreliable narrators.

Jesus Christ you are dense.
This is the exact same thing that happened with Magic. They got shoved into normie spaces and and pulled in a lot of casual money, then got suckered into thinking this new, temporary audience would be permanent if they just pandered a little. The little pandering turns into full on bullshit, and then the tourist money dries up because the casual popularity only lasts a few years. This is where GW is now. They're riding the crest of the easy money wave, but it won't last much longer. They'll keep fucking the lore and increase the pace of releases until the casual market is bored to tears, and then be forced to fall back to their core audience.....which long since evaporated. It may take a decade, but it is already over. All they can do now is shit out DEI products and make as much money as possible as they throw dirt on the grave of a once prosperous IP.
It may be extended if Henry Cavil is able to pull a miracle out with his 40k show, but that too will inevitably get the Witcher treatment as they chase the modern audience into oblivion.

Lol. Nothing could alienate genuine long-term fans more than this wood-face idiot ruining another franchise. If there's a genuine raping of childhood memories, it's no political agenda, but this idiot defiling DC comics, the Witcher and now 40K.
And the most long-term Warhammer fans don't care at all.

Can't tell if this is low effort trolling or if you're Chuk-level retarded but I'm leaning towards Chuk-level retarded.

If Cavill walks Amazon will hire literally anyone to take his place. No credits of any kind are required to be a showrunner at Amazon.
Knowing this, Cavill will bite the bullet and do what's best for the fans-- which is to stay and bend as much as possible. Because mitigation is more important than making a statement.

Oh totally.
Just like the long term fans didn't care about Star Wars, or Indiana Jones, or Lord of the Rings, or Marvel, or the Witcher, or literally every other nerd property that has had this same treatment. Every one of those franchises is perfectly fine and not complete garbage that detonated their core audience chasing modern audience money that was never really there.

I mean, these retcons in Empire Strikes Back were ridiculus, I agree. Vader is now Luke's father? That was never ever mentioned in the original and makes absolutly no sense with what Obi-Wan said in the original. Not to mention the retcon of Leia being Luke's sisters, combined with all the woke bullshit of making her force-sensitive as well. Absolutely ruined Star Wars forever, gotta agree here.
