There seems to be another minor intersectional feminist incursion into 40K. We saw it touch D&D (which has been inclusive and diverse on its own terms anyways, so it got through that okay), and we all remember what happened with video games.
I think what'll keep it safe is that there don't seem to be many actual WOMEN involved; and any that do get involved won't be able to bring themselves to actually spend money on, assemble, and paint a bunch of army dudes just to play a lengthy rules-heavy game vs a bunch of autistic neckbeards. I think wargaming is where nerd-chic will hit the wall of what it can appropriate.
What doesn't help is that sooner or later they're going to figure out where all those God-Emperor Trump memes are coming from. And Since these people have no concept of irony, they'll see the fascist elements of the imperium as an endorsement of actual fascism. Which makes us all nazis.
If you're going to insult someone, at least get your grammar right.

I remember the SJW trying to attack Warhammer 40k space marine for referring to Orkz as Greenskins and how it was incredibly racist and unacceptable to have the 'good guys' try to promote such thoughts in people.
To which the 40k community replied, 'Good guys? In 40k?' followed by intense laughter.

I remember the attack about how modeling fur onto the models was unacceptable as it provided all the wrong thoughts on animal abuse and such. What I found funny was that they made no mention of the other horrific stuff that Wh40K more actively promoted in-law. Use of animal pelts that are removed and maintained reverently, no. Murder-fucking an entire race to death eternally because you like how their souls taste, perfectly fine.

Oh no, some youtube video counts as an attack on 40k. To arms! To arms! Do you think they haven't been looking at this shit already? There's some woman on tumblr who is going out of her way to make a flash game where Space Marines are all-female instead of all-male. It's not as if what you're pointing at is anything new.
But most importantly, it's already all been stupid. Do you really think everything that's been done so far has been ironic? Can you honestly account for every manchild, especially the ones that are proud that they 'memed' Trump into office? It's all been shit, and claiming that 'we were just joking' isn't going to help when not everyone was joking. You're trying to pretend that our image is clean, when it's always been covered in shit, and half the people who would step up to fight the SJWs are two steps away from being what you fear the SJWs will see us as.

Guess 2. Im impressed, my first guess was an Ad Homeum about autism. "I'm not autistic, you're autistic, stop projecting your insecurities autismo" My second was some kind of shifting blame back to me to justify your response to me whilst removing fault from yourself. It was just me not researching the topic extensively, unlike you, and making a phrasing choice that you don't like.
Mason Reed
The actual problem are ninnies like you that give a flying shit about image. I get along with more grognard nazis despite not agreeing with them on most shit because they at least act as a gatekeeping mechanism. I want my hobbies to look as unappealing as possible so I can avoid these people as much as I can.

Like for example, this fucking retard. Propagates their shit, despite not being part of it because he's mad that /pol/'s mad and wants some hot (you)s. So he's worked into a shoot about /pol/ and just keeps going on. He's not the only one either, just one of legion. What this results in is a Veeky Forums completely divided, and the board's quality becomes another /tv/. Or worse, another /v/, or even worse, /co/. So all of this is just questfags ruining the board in retaliation of anti-quest fags who wanted Veeky Forums to be pure.
Gas the questfags, and you save Veeky Forums.

The Milo thing was not a proud era, but I think that in hindsight, The Pro-GG side comes out looking WAY better than most of the big Anti-GG players. The Quinn-fucked-around-for-reviews thing was a stretch, but the ensuing storm of censorship and misinformation revealed that WAY too many poisonous dishonest toxic people had wormed their way into video game media.
There was indeed a change in games journalism, and while a lot of it came from just the changes in trends, I think that GG was a big part of the rise of independent youtube reviewers and LetsPlayers and the like, because no one could trust the big sites anymore, and the world is a better place for it.
Jose James
Actually I think we should have more diversity in 40k. For example what is with dwar.. little people? Do these Bigots at GW don't think about them and their struggles? I think, we should have an entire army of them, as allies to the Imperium, that would be really progressive,
Dylan Green
>It's questfags! haha holy shit dude, you're seriously trying to pin this on all the gay anime ERPers? Even after they all threw their fit and left? Maybe you should go join them.

By hypermasculine, do you mean the autism? Because that would require kicking out the pimply mouthbreathing autists. I'd be okay with that if we can replace them with an equal or greater number of women and/or perhaps cool gay dudes who know women socially.
Ian Hughes
Look at this from the bright side: all this pushing for "muh diversity" will result in more Japanese style delicious brown elves.

I honestly never trusted Milo because he was from a conservative news site, but I admit this was a political bias of mine, and didn't completely write them off as a right-winged Salon just yet. The first time I found out how Milo was an asshole was when I saw him posting himself making fun of a fat guy at a gym, which set off my douchebag alarm.
Still, GG did put the question of the professionalism of game journalists into the spotlight that it needed to be in a long time ago, even if anti-GG doesn't want to admit this. I can understand why anti-GG doesn't want to credit GG, since GG has been partially hijacked by right-winged culture warriors that don't give a fuck about ethical journalism. While it's nice to see that the general population is catching on to how crazy these fanatical-type progressives are, I worry that this is just going to shift towards fanatical-type nationalistic culture rather than restore a balance.
As far as 40k, I am not sure what there is to panic about. Marvel is infested by social justice fanatics, but in spite of the rise in comic sales from other companies, Marvel is suffering from that lack of growth, and they admit that. Marvel will either sink or swim, and no company would sink itself unless it's broken to the core. I think that this problem is going to fade out like a cold, because ideologies that resemble "moral authoritarianism" do not thrive in hobbies and past-times traditionally dabbled in by dorks, many of which had to deal with moralist noise from conservative types and sometimes the disapproval of their own overly-religious household. The 40k crowd doesn't seem different based on the people I've met.
Just keep this in mind: Authoritarians only care about making the world more like their worldview; they could care less about loyalty or rewarding compliance.
Also remember to not make yourself look like an idiot. It only takes one to ruin it all.

Quests originated as legit OC, back in the days of Ruby Quest, and that was good.
Then anime quests got kicked off of /a/, whose mods sent them to Veeky Forums. Actual Veeky Forums-native quests were ruined in the board's eyes by the power of fallacious associations. This was made worse by the trash-ass likes of Infinite Stratos Quest.
Cue a bunch of braindead faggots shitting up the board even FURTHER by bitching ceaselessly about quests while pretending there was no such thing as the catalog or filtering. Blah blah /qst/ got created with a trash featureset that not every questfag liked, so some of the quests stayed on the board where they'd been running for (in a couple of cases literal) years. The bitching of antiquestfags remained as ceaseless as ever, so the mods threw up their hands and banished the holdouts.
Tl;dr questfags got shit on universally for a portion of their population being fuckups by a bunch of incredibly vocal whingers. The comparison to Jews is pretty fucking apt.

Bentley Sanchez
>tfw nervously waiting for a GG style culture war to take place in tabletop gaming
If it does then I'm taking a break from tabletop and Veeky Forums indefinitely like I did during GG with gaming. I saw a lot of the ugliness and most of it was just pure racism and misogyny or sexism or discrimination or whatever you want to call it.
There were unironic threads on /v/ about sensible ways to have women classified as property. It really was pure woman hating and harassment. I've got zero interest in sticking around for that shit, especially in tabletop which I cherish 1,000% more than video games.

First two replies are why /pol/ already declared Veeky Forums infiltrated by SJWs a week ago in a 300-reply thread. Almost every poster swore they'd never post here again. D&D declared a lost cause. Only True AD&Dâ„¢ can save, for it is immutable. Safe in the past. Any arguments for "house rules" or "OSR" are an attempt to corrupt it's perfection with SJW pollution.
Juan Fisher
I think that if it does happen, it'd start in Dungeons and Dragons, and it'll come from the Nerd Queens. They're already SJW-y as fuck (ALL of the ones I know claim to have been molested or raped, and one who's cis keeps sharing articles on her wall about how if you wouldn't date a trans person, that means you're a bad person) and they have that exact same "Vampire and her orbiting beta Familiars" dynamic going on that the gamer gurls quickly developed.
Nerd Queens are mainly in D&D and Magic, and we can see a few indications that they've shit up magic a wee bit. But Tabletop games like 40K just arent cool enough. The cool nerds don't play them, there's no lucrative competitive scene to scream about representation over, and its by its nature autistic as fuck, so almost no woman will touch it.
Nathan Martin
It'll never happen, at least I think. The key factors just aren't there. Veeky Forums players are generally (with a few exceptions) more chill than /v/ players, at least those who take it seriously enough to be involved in a culture war over shit this dumb. Additionally, I get the feeling that Veeky Forums is a LOT more aware of and hostile towards /pol/bait than /v/ ever was, so it's less likely that they'd succeed in the same antics as last time. Finally, of course, what the fuck would even set it off?
