It really stinks when you like a game or a company, but they also do/have done gross stuff.

I'm a big fan of Malifaux, but for many people it's "that zombie hooker game" and what the hell am I supposed to tell them? Jack the (Necromancer) Ripper is still going to be a master (crew leader) in the upcoming 3rd edition, and as far as anyone knows the zombie sex workers are still a part of the Ressurectionist faction.

I also really like Guild Ball, but this adorable model of a child dressed as an infamous pirate king


doesn't change the fact that the pirate king was a de-facto rapist in his original fluff.

So when I look at a game like Infinity, part of me really sympathizes with the fans who just want to play the game and use their cool models; it sucks when something you like has a gross anchor around its neck.

Yeah, problematic poo poo in things you like or want to like is incredibly frustrating, and really this hobby is one of the last corners of the world where the extra gross stuff still rolls around in the open.

At least the big corporate money in the sector is pretty uniformly against all the grossness and all about opening up the audience, so as the weirdos age out of the hobby the future will replace them with a more diverse crowd.

In the meantime though, that might just end up
making our niche more reactionary, which is a pleasant thought.

Uh...I was talking about a depiction of fantasy art, you get that, right? That picture literally looks like a (male) artist stripped naked, assumed the pose in a mirror, snapped a selfie, then painted a portrait of himself-only-with-a-loincloth-and-boobs. Or I dunno, maybe there's an Instagram filter for that now. In the event the artist is a trans woman, then yah, my bad and I'm sorry I body-outed someone. But I'm pretty sure that even if that's the case, that's probably not what GW had in mind for their super-sexy-killer-space-aelf-women given their previous aesthetic for the army. It just struck me as really incongruous. :shrug:

But hey, if that's the art direction they want to take going forward, I guess I'm all for it. Maybe it means that my trans daughter will find representation of herself in the game and feel more included. That's ultimately what we're shooting for with all this poo poo-posting, isn't it?

I take heart that at least some communities seem pretty decent. In one of the big Guild Ball groups I'm in, a new member went "hey, who else here ID as LGBT and what do you play?" and the thread was (last I checked) just sweet and nice. :unsmith:

I feel like the wargaming community in general seems to be a lot more inclusive towards LGBT folks than the average. I know I certainly have noticed a much larger percentage of self-identified LGBT folks in the community than any other that I’m a part of.

Of course, I’m a white, straight, cis-gendered male, so I know I’m experiencing it all from a particularly limited vantage point.

Medusa elves are rad, but the regular scantily clad sex elves from the same army are boring and terrible.

They should have leant harder into the snake iconography rather than this lazy, male-gaze bullshit.

Not that it's much better, but those are holdovers from the old WHFB Dark Elf range. The new stuff was all snakes or harpies.

The dark elves poo poo from GW is just as bad as the sister repentia which is the same as the jerk off models for infinity. The poses are definitely different, but the scantily clad poo poo is just as bad.

Playing or collecting those makes you a weirdo. Not as much as someone that buys anime statues, but a weirdo nonetheless.

It's the combo of having really OTT poses and having like, 5 of them in a 10 model unit. My favourite is the first picture, where two identical monopose minis are stood next to each other. If they were like half as "dynamic" they'd look a lot better.

Why are people ok with the new Slaanesh demon?



Ok, I'll fully admit that this is definitely not a cheesecake model. That out of the way, on some level it is even *more* bizarre and weird. What is the point of this poo poo? This model would fit right in with KDM. Sure, there are lore reasons and story behind models like this, but in order to reap this small narrative benefit they have to pay the enormous cost of alienating all normal people. Doesn't seem worth it to me from any lore, gameplay, or business perspective. I thought maybe Slaanesh would come back as something other than bobs and vagene, but nope. Brand new plastic, same old cringe. I would find this just as disturbing to play against as infinity cheesecake models.

Yes the whole community. All 100k SA goons but a couple of us who might not happily slurp up all of Empie's cummies in a harmless thread you knobheads can't handle because maybe we see issues with any Knight Titans on the game table or when GW's rules and prices get really bad.

Or dare to maybe talk the pros and cons of other minis games we may have played. Or just shitpost for fun about skeletons and opossums and weird Space Gully Dwarves. Yall got like 3-5 other TG GW related threads. Quit being a consumer company defender.

poo poo like Kill Team 8th brought lots of us back. You dipshits trying to excuse every single flaw in GW to a degree Sean Hannity would not even do for the Orange Baby wasn't. poo poo, we were proven right as more overall fair prices, game styles, levels of accessibility, and more active community engagement has brought GW back in a big loving way even if they should have done this 10 years ago.
