[QUOTE="Panda-s1, post: 8029969, member: 59554"] from a narrative point of view, this just sounds like a story about some guy who discovered Warhammer as a kid and thought it was magical, but then he became an adult and refused to take serious issues with any real maturity. also iirc both the 40k and WHF canon have changed radically multiple times since I first got into it 20 years ago, the sudden inclusion black Ultramarines apropos of nothing is peanuts compared to some of the other stuff I heard of over the years. like having little to no narrative justification seems in line with how things usually go. okay, not sure why the moderate majority would feel the need to be offended by the statement GW put out. if "WARHAMMER IS FOR EVERYONE!", if Warhammer is just a game then it shouldn't matter to them if their space marines are suddenly not just a bunch of white dudes. also, let's think about this. I am a Latino and Asian man who actually got into 40k as a child. what if I met someone at a game store who thought Asians or Latinos shouldn't be part of the community? what if I learned there were regulars at the store who didn't necessarily have the same views but were still friends with him, and the owner thought he was a totally cool dude? can Warhammer really be for everyone if this guy is accepted as part of the community? keep in mind in this scenario I'm just someone wanting to play 40k, and didn't say certain groups shouldn't be allowed to play.
