On the one hand, yeah, it was inappropriate, considering it was the company that gave them a paycheck. I don't care what company you work for - if you slam them, there are going to repercussions. Games Day was a high profile event, and most of the company big-wigs (and some from the UK) were probably there. It would be like working for Microsoft and wearing a "gently caress Micro$oft LOL" shirt to a yearly event and not expecting to be shitcanned.

This is a pretty stupid position. You have the obvious problem that just because other companies are worse doesn't mean that GW is fine. Both things can be bad for different reasons at the same time. I'm not going to give GW a pass just because they're marginally better than the competition. Especially not in this hobby.

I also don't cash checks on the future. You can have all the diverse concept art and promises for female sculpts in the world and it doesn't mean a drat thing if the only thing I can buy is either only dudes or the token all-girls faction. We all want GW to follow through, but when they're only releasing a new faction every quarter and the first expansion faction was already done before they realized that their customers might be interested in having women in their gangs, that means it's going to be nearly half a year before we get any regular women in the game.

You're right that there are a substantial number of women models available and that's objectively a good thing, but actually look at what the criticism is. It's not the sculpts. It's that GW did nothing, yet, to counter-balance the legacy fluff from the 80s and 90s that said girls can only be in the all-girls faction and no where else. Apparently this is going to change. But I still have to say "apparently" because until such a time that I can make that purchase it isn't true.

That's misreading what I meant by token, but it's not like you ever actually read what I write. I'm also not the one moving the goalposts. I'm doing the exact opposite of that thing you're saying I'm doing. I'm saying right now there are no mixed gender gangs and there's no way to purchase one and that's what I'm being critical of. All my original post said was that it's good GW have acknowledged this but it hasn't changed yet.

I didn't bring up the topic. I just replied to a discussion that was already happening, but whatever.

It's weird how personal you make this every single time I make a post.

WTF is it with all the GW apologists recently?

SiKboy posted:

Or, and consider this for a second, maybe they have a reasonable and not particularly controversial point, one faction and only one faction having women is exactly tokenism like they said, and you are having a hysterical meltdown over someone having a different opinion of one aspect of toy army mans from a widely acknowledged Bad Company, and you need to stop following them around screaming and flailing wildly because it makes you look like a loving mentalist. I mean, I'm just thinking out loud here.

I think it's because I ran across some obvious hip hop inspired Flash Gitz when first learning about Orks a couple years ago and it made me kinda vigilant. I understand the origins of the unit and who they're supposed to be mocking, I've just seen it go bad in other directions.
