Both things can exist at the same time, it's not one or the other. False equivalence is used and abused as a "get out of jail free" for awful and toxic views these days. I want to point to the abysmal Laissez-faire decision Valve made this week as an illustration to this point. If an individual or a person in any way that isn't rejection or denunciation touches this poo poo, its condoning and supporting it. Variance Hammer absolutely did the right thing, and so did JBP with the Nazi orks, and this thread in dragging segstudio. I really hope that GW is going to keep up the push for inclusiveness in their IP, as it's great for the player base and the hobby, I also hope the fans keep doing their part. This sort of hobby is always going to have the toxic element, but thankfully they're being shut out to their own corner.

The Sex Cannon posted:It seems like the guy who runs Fallout, Ron Gamble, realized his Very Stupid Choices would be bad for business and backpedalled. He invoked the "but I got kids" clause, called criticism harassment, and then realized that he could end up losing business so he apologized and deleted all of his bad posts. This is going to make a lot of toxic nerds very unhappy.

He'll repaint his orks, but none of this will extend beyond what he posts to social media.

The Sex Cannon posted:I think guardsmen with lascannons is a waste of points, but I can see myself getting proven wrong. I usually go plasmas or flamers on mine. I also wouldn't bother with the pistol on the priest, but w/e. Lascannons are fine, the good options for IG squads are plasma, lascannons and heavy mortars. The other options aren't terrible but these are the best ones. With assassins, the optimal loadout imo is 1x Culexus, 2x Eversor. Culexus don't really scale well with multiples since their effect doesn't stack and they don't kill that much, but they're reasonably efficient and they can face tank quite a bit. Eversors are straight up point efficient at running into a melee and murdering things.

Associating yourself with well known hate symbols is not a sensible approach. And that guy appears to be posting under his real name. His talk with the wife and kids might have to include a discussion about why daddy is being called to a professional standards hearing over how he chose to paint his overpriced toys.

And that guy appears to be posting under his real name. The good news is he can fire up a Patreon account and just suck the teat of thousands of idiot alt-righters who want to throw money at him for defending free speech. It seems to have worked for Jordan Peterson. Then he just has to tell his kids that daddy is a freedom fighter against the Jewish Feminist agenda.

I’d really like to see more models for the Knight pilots. She could be a pretty badass miniature. Edit: Isn’t it amazing how easy a little bit of inclusivity can be? GW obviously needs to do more than just this but it’s a good start.

Corrode posted:I am a little concerned that Skrillex cuts are the fetish of one of the designers. I feel like it really works with the 40k aesthetic. Leaves lots of room for weird metal poo poo on the skull and gives people a haggard sort of look. Now the one in the new AoS stuff doesn’t quite fit the bill. Maybe it’s just a semi-popular but still maybe sort of counterculture style these days and GW is using it for their minis as a result.

My only problem is that it reminds me my own hair is too much of a frizzy mess to ever pull off that cut. Or a topknot, I'd unironicly rock a Abaddon level topknot.

Lady Solaria being completely helpless in melee, even if it's just a single ork boy, was really silly though.
