Ok, so CB is sexist and bad, and GW is also sexist and bad, but not as bad as CB.

So it's cool to be a little sexist, but just not all the way.

That makes a lot of sense to me, and thankfully I can continue to enjoy GW products!

Corvus Belli is extremely sexist and bad, GW has made some pretty glaring missteps but has also listened to customer feedback about offensive models and pulled them from the store, and have done things like “hired women” and “never released a special range of extra sexy models that don’t even have rules so their only purpose is to make nerds horny”

These companies are exactly comparable in my brain, which is a good and normal one that absolutely doesn’t give me boners when I look at anime figurines.

So you would say that CB is bad, and GW is bad, but GW is not as bad as CB? That makes sense. I'm surprised someone didn't point it out before.

The difference is that it doesn't look like CB's really trying to do better while GW visibly is.

It will never stop being funny that the only line of attack the pathological weirdos have is to say "GW fanboy". I imagine they do it to taxi drivers and supermarket cashiers who look at them funny when they talk about why they like the gender politics of Goblin Slayer.

I've yet to see anything of substance out of you idiots but one line posts and emotes. Almost like you don't have any lines of attack but mocking sad minis from a game pretty much only a handful of people play and that virtually nobody defends the dumb minis.

I've been playing 40k since uhh.. 94? So a lot longer than many of you idiots trying to get goon/fat chick in Women's Studies cred have been alive. There are plenty of sad and hosed up GW things in the past. But I guess the Pygmy army or THAT DIORAMA don't exist.

But keep screaming about anime.

As someone who enjoys GW products (blessed be that company) I am also happy about this. I have never purchased any CB products or played their games, and am thankful that I have avoided associated with such a depraved, disgusting company.

However, I am concerned. The posters in this thread, who are definitely worried about sexist miniatures and avoid CB for that reason, might be made aware that another company, one Mantic (a questionable group of rogues) does not, to my knowledge, have any sexist minis in their range at all!

I would assume that anyone who was seriously concerned about sexism in minis might actually buy that company's products instead of GWs to show their support--and this would lead, disastrously, to a loss of market share for our blessed GW.

I am very concerned, my friends.

I didn't know GW produced and sold that diorama, that's hosed up. They shouldn't have done that.

40k and Warpath are entirely equivalent in both rules and model quality, I wish we could just accept that Mantic is the best option here.

It's normal to feel angry, and lash out, when GW is threatened. I understand, friend. It shows your "good and normal brain" at work.

I want to say that I admire the work you have done defending us all from the "perverts" at CB, so as to better serve our mutual love, GW.

You’re really loving stupid so I’ll spell this out in little words for you to read.

I was mocking the very premise of the argument your FAS-riddled brain was struggling to construct. It’s stupid to compare a company that is unrepentantly and proudly sexist with one that’s made fuckups in the past but actively works to avoid doing so now. They’re not in the same ballpark. Ones just bad, one is more complicated but perhaps worth supporting.

You, being incredibly stupid, replied to my post with this:

Then, further reinforcing how incredibly loving stupid you are, here’s further proof of your utter lack of reading comprehension:
