But regarding warhammer 40k's controversy with female custodes
Only a fool would not appreciate the wonderful variety in humanity and the rest of the universe.

Honestly Sister of Silence and Adeptus Sororitas were already enough not to mention that many assassins different variations are females quite often
And yes I don't see Custodians with such changes because I stick to the lore that actually was true to its roots and wasn't not trying to become appealing for Black rock and other "big powers" just to grab more cash (in exchange of becoming a slave to them and yet another ruined franchise)
So they are just shooting themselves in a foot rewriting their own lore and lying to fans about the fact it always was like that which is not true to say the least . One thing is to say that they want to change it for some purpose but completely different deal when they deceive people. Though it is quite hard to do in dedicated and loyal to traditions sub-culture like WH40k community.
Plus let SOME franchises or universes remain somewhat conservative. This definitely supports the feel of brutality and oppression in every detail of this sci-fi world.

undocumented cases like this have flown by before in the lore many times.
Necrons didn't use to have such wide stretch of personalities. until we discovered they did in fact have them all this time.
Cawl claimed he had made better space marines and for the longest time it was beleived until we found it out no he just gave the regular ones buffs and the gene flaws are still present.
Necron Pariahs are stuck in a weird limbo right now.
It was beleived for the longest time the emperor made the space marines alone, no most of that goes to Amar Astarte actually getting the project off the ground. Makes me question if he even made the thunder warriors or took credit.
Which class is canonical to each of the characters in Vermintide? [they have hinted at zteentch playing tricks]
To qoute Gav thrope, lead designer at GW
"with Warhammer and Warhammer 40k the notion of canon is a fallacy.
Both exist as tens of thousands of overlaping realities in the imaginations of game developers, writers, readers and gamers. None of these interpretations is wrong"
I Understand your frustrations. But at the end of the day it just means we can glue more heads onto our golden knights. As far as lore goes this wont really change that much.
What it will do however is upset allot of pigs I've had the misfortune of being targeted by who often use the line "woman aren't good enough for space marines/ military service."
Nah this minor change causes them the great discomfert of knowing "Space marines aint good enough for ladies."
So I take sadistic pleasure in their agony for sure.
Honestly I found the primarous marines introduction more of a lore upset with how that was handled. It got better, this will too.

Yeah wait until the Emperor of Mankind will be resurrected as Emperess of Mankind
It is just a clear and blatant attempts of probing in such category
And no - you don't understand frustration because you relish in this fact ("So I take sadistic pleasure in their agony for sure")
Yet again space marines were all men because it was set in LORE again that physiology and compatability of gene seed only good for a male specimens
Plus the danger of replacment of humanity by basically transhumans wasn't original plan of Emperor whatsoever
If it is your act of revenge wia hands of GW beggars that sold out for money to BlackRock - happy for you
Primaris in other hand were equally lore wrecking event which was introduced poorly and with poor design (new "assault marines" and "devastators" are awful). Not to mention out of nowhere magic storage of such marines and out of nowhere Cawl's project. THis i agree 100%
When the "creators" say that lore is fallacy they don't understand where to go and have no consistency. Just look where Disney went with Star Wars. Did they made a great success shitting on lore of Extended Universe? The answer can be seen clear as day

The Custodes never did support the grimdark vibe, they are the power fantasy faction. The nobility modified to super human to defend the throne. They are even the non-religious faction in a religious authoritarian nightmare society. To say they can't be female is equivalent to saying a Rogue Trader couldn't be. You argued in a previous comment about efforts to avoid superhumans overtaking humanity but sterilization is both lore appropriate (they do it with space marines) and appropriate for a grimdark biotech universe, it would solve the issue. And I know that GW mishandled it's announcement, but come on. You know, I know, the whole world knows this is not the first time GW has botched PR or mishandled a change to anything. And it's not a shock a company is including more people, because more people equals more profit.
So what's the deal dude? Why so upset about this? You were championing international woman's day in a journal post a year ago. Why gatekeep them from a hobby? Why can't they be part of the power fantasy faction? You know sisters of silence aren't the same. They are an auxillary unit of mostly humans to support one weak point in the main armies rules. The aren't literal nobility superhuman. Do woman have to be segregated into an individual army for you like SoB? Did you complain about the Guards including women? Or is it about woman having physical power? It can't be about societal power because female inquisitors, ecclisiarchy leaders and rogue traders have been around a while.

The problem with that is the fact they are both lying about that Custodes "always had women" and lazy implementaion of inclusivity which just proofs that GW only care about money that BlackRock promissed them in exchange of becoming woke. They could create a new faction of something like this to satisfy need of inclusive people and minors but they chose the least creative and lazy method of doing thing - to stick a "always had females" on their golden poster-boys with a glue without any explanations or proofs. Woke and universe that is filled by literal Nazi-religious groups, xeno-hating superhumans with a highly indoctrinated society and other races behaving no less better are mixing really bad.
Custodes were solid rock confirmed male around couple of decades or even more in lore. Guardsmen always were inconsistent in their ranks like Tanith, Necromunda or other mixed regiments (unlike DKoK or Vostroyans or Mordians that had a strict policy on recruitment). SoB are the great example of strong women in the universe WH40K. What you can ask more? Eldars had a numerous female warriors like banshees or etc that also were badass.
Also your gaslighting will not work as i respect women and etc but some roles are just don't fit for them. And i think it is just nice to preserve at least some traditions and rules to continue legacy and not loosing face or uniqueness. Plus "gatekeeping" is overrated word that only used to mark communities or franchises that are too conservative or trying to be solid in their conistsency of lore. I know at least 10 girls that played in Wh40K games even without that lazy and absolutely unnecessary inclusion of women in the BROTHERHOOD of DEMIGODS. They play as eldars and nurglites also Sisters of battle. Some even play as Space Marines. I cannot see any problems with that and never heard complains.
And again i ask a question: what next? They will announce that Emperor is non-binary or was a female? Or that every race are not driven by genocidal tendencies in their mad struggle for dominance and survival? Or that they need to be friends? And no the collaboration between Eldars and Guilleman is only dictated by the dire situation of Chaos threating both of their factions existence. So i can see that this universe that were created just to be over the top cruel or violent and ridiculous in its scale and proportions as possible will only go downward spiral from this moment or die in silence of oblivion.
It is a very niche product for a very big community. Did you ever though that this violent and quite steady and concrete lore that actually only increases the oppressive sense and brutal nature of this universe could be a reason why people were attracted by it in the first place? And the CORE majority of people that are fans of this universe grew on this stuff and loved exact opposite of what you call "Wh40K for everyone". Acceptance is great thing sometimes and sometimes things are existing as they are made. But making everything fit to wokism culture is also form of fascism that everyone prefer to close their eyes on because big and scary daddies from big corpos will punish them with green-colored dollar lollipos being taken away.
So i will only agree with you only in one thing - is that it is fully a desire to absorb and accumulate more money. Even though they had more than enough before but greed says always "more"

Did you just say "concrete lore"?..... Oooh you don't actually know anything about 40k, that makes more sense now. Feel free to tirade again if you want. Keep making an embarrassment of yourself by repeating conservative conspiratorial talking points on an openly lgbtq+ supportive furry art site. Imma just file a report and block ya, so folks can enjoy some cute art like this in peace.
WH40K for everyone yeah? As soon you have a foothold you start to throw away people you don't like or don't want to argue with in any IP where you are forcefully integrated
Hypocrisy much. Nothing more expected from the likes like you
Plus i don't see anything conspirational - everything is open and free to see in internet
And yes hearing "don't know anything about 40k lore" from the person that don't know how geneseed is working or why space marines or custodes in extent are males
But i will leave you be in your own world of rainbow nightmares and your own created world. Have a nice day

For the record of anyone following a previous reply chain, Custodes are not Space Marines. They do not have geneseeds. They are created via a completely different bio-engineering process. If you have reactionary folks approaching you with "facts" to lore. First best question might be if they even know the lore at all. Don't debate with idiots like I did. They tend to go out of their way to ruin a hobby for biggoted reasons.
i know! i just cant bring myself to care about the reactionary people lmao,it makes no sense,many people get more options, or can feel represented in their own armies, even if the lore wouldnt make sense or would be a retcon, its like complaining when someone gets gluten free pie for "runining the sanctity of pies " or "pies never were like this" or whatever,like,who cares,more people getting to enjoy things is neat
Then again, some people have no personality so they revel in complaining instead of trying therapy so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
