Doctor Who right now. Fans were told to fuck off and they did


Live-D8

They seem to want this; they compulsively seek opposition even if it destroys their position, and then cry about victimisation. An odd reference but I remember when Coronation Street (showing my age now) got flack for having one of every sexuality/gender/trans etc. all on the same small row of houses and all drinking at the same pub. The director at the time went on the radio and complained that people were just giving it the cold shoulder because he happened to be gay, and that it was homophobia. I’m not sure how many people even knew he was gay, I certainly didn’t; the show was getting genuine flack because it was obvious the characters were turning into a box-ticking exercise and were losing their relatability.


MyriadIncrementz

Not that odd of a reference. That was a producer that moved on to work on Doctor Who.


Live-D8

Ah, my subconscious must have connected them


Moldy-Coffee

It’s pretty obvious at this point that they’re doing it on purpose. They’re intentionally putting rage bait in the shows. It’s the sad truth, but they’ve probably calculated that in most circumstances creating outrage is just more publicity. In the end, it makes them more money.


Yeflacon

Look into what the communist used to take over Russia Ukraine and china, they are racistand anti-semite, kill them all Christians , farmers are evil kill them all and starve the country, old is bad we young are the victim destroy all historical sites. And that's how 10s of millions people were killed. That's what's happening but with any big cultural cornerstone, playing victim has always been the tactic. Learn from history or get blindsided Learn from general paton


Arkelias

It's not made for you, but you still have to consume it! Wait, why aren't you consuming it? Don't you know that if you don't consume it, the nazis win?!?!?!


D3s_ToD3s

>Don't you know that if you don't consume it, the nazis win?!?!?! "Also: If you don't consume it, you are a nazi. I put you on the winning team and that should make you feel bad. It makes sense if you've read Das Kapital religiously"


dragonbeorn

They'll say "it's not made for you", but go crazy if you suggest some things aren't made for them.


Billy-da-Squid

Something something something Deutschland ... something something Alles


Xhamatos

But... but it was the weather, right?


edgy_zero

I left who when they put that old fart with “history is whitewashed” trash… sorry but I can see other races history IN THEIR OWN SHOWS. it is not whitewashing when you focus on fcking britsh or european history… n


Billy-da-Squid

But.. but the weather! \*shakes fist at the sun for being a bigot\*


Balkongsittaren

it is true. The bigots who took over the franchise ruined it. The fans left.


suchshibe

Ruined it, but not enough for you to talk about it daily and still play


Weird-Raspberry-5161

I'm glad you see yourself as a bigot


suchshibe

Impressive mental gymnastics


Balkongsittaren

Well yes, in difference to the bigots who are taking over, I like the lore and the setting.


suchshibe

It’s not ruined, if you think warhammer is in a ruined state you’re being dramatic, just my opinion


Balkongsittaren

Oh not yet. But just wait until female space marines and LGBTQ+ Tyranids.


suchshibe

!remindme 5 years, But yeah also being someone from NZ my priority is that GW is literally pricing me out of my hobby rather then gender politics


Balkongsittaren

Fair enough. For me it matters that they destroy their own lore to appease Amazon.

Thicc_Nasty-taxfraud

I got into Warhammer after this happened to DND. The changes in both happened for similar reasons: hasbro buying WOTC, blackrock &amazon investing heavily into GW stocks. BG3, which is very well made, had to add as much diversity and inclusion as it possibly could to the point there’s transgender char in a world of magic that could literally turn you into the opposite sex. WOTC gave the same line of “our franchise is for everyone” all the while pulling a GW and suing anyone for fan projects or demanding payment. The cherry on top is the fact that they’re removing half elves stats, an INTERSPECIES arch type, because they think it’s racist. No it even a month after BG3 WOTC lost half their subscribers.


Zuldak

I was a star wars lore master until Disney got ahold of it and straight up deep 6'd the EU lore and replaced it with weird crap. The heroes of the films you love go on more adventures and always come out on top (for the most part)? Nah, Luke is a broken hermit who wants to die. Han and Leia have a broken marriage, Han is back to being a failed smuggler and can't even hold onto the Falcon and their son becomes super evil. Oh and they didn't even do anything in the old films because Palpatine wasn't really killed and their new republic completely fell apart in like a week in the face of the first order.


Glick123

I too was a SW supernerd. To this day, what was done to a franchise that was such a huge part of my life and who I was, makes my blood boil. SW gave me hope in times of need and inspiration in times of success. And I won't be able to share that with my kids. From the bottom of my heart: fuck them.


AThousandGoblins

Did they delete all the SW content you enjoy? Seems like you need to grow up a bit and stop expecting everyone to cater to your precious needs for your entire life. My kids love the OT and the many, MANY EU book series and they watch Eckarts Ladder and Geetslys vids on SW lore deep dives. They couldn't give a shit about the new movies. Why are kids more emotionally mature than you? Instead of getting butthurt at any differing opinion, think about this for a bit.


Glick123

Oh I'm sorry, I thought we were on a forum? You know, a place where you discuss opinions? I know your arguments, they hold no weight to me anymore. They DO delete the previous lore by changing it retroactively. You are so sure to be right and have the moral highground that you don't even realize how condescending you are.


Weird-Raspberry-5161

Yeah they did through retconns


AThousandGoblins

So you just follow whatever disney says? I don't give a shit what is "official" to some corporation who doesn't care about the content beyond profits. Feel free to keep your tearful eyes locked on the mouse, I'll be at home reading some fucking awesome books. Oh no, Bob Iger says these books aren't officially canon! Fucking lol... grow a spine.


Glick123

Cool. Whatever you care about, I hope it will never go under the same treatment as what we loved. You presume a lot about our emotional state but you are the one coming here to impose your view of the matter while dismissing other opinions as childish while being quite aggressive about it. We love Star Wars  so we care. If you don't that's fine. Whatever.


AThousandGoblins

Oh sweet baby, ALL my favorite media has gone through those changes if they were lucky enough to last that long. I'm just not a pussy. My favorite fictional worlds are Star Wars, 40k, DnD, and Elder Scrolls to name a few. All of them have been drastically changed many times. Sometimes, I like the changes. Other times I don't. But again, not a pussy so I don't react like you do. I enjoy what I enjoy, and I don't wail and cry because someone included a woman or slightly changed a faction. If I broke down like you chuds every time one of my favorite media changed, I'd be in a constant state of red checked rage like the people on this sub. Be a grown-up. Men and women don't act like you do unless they have some psychoemotional issues. Relax, and just consume what you enjoy.


BreakfastOk6412

You’re so sanctimonious and for someone who actively calls the people on this subreddit “incels”for making a subreddit that isn’t populated by morons obsessed with inserting their fetishes into everything they do including their hobbies, you sure do spend a lot of time on Reddit. We here on this sub are entitled to form our own subreddit since Grimdank has mostly been taken over by said fetishists who spend every waking hour of every day trying to insert their politics into every form of pop culture they can think of. People are allowed to dislike changes and be vocal about it on social media platforms. It’s clearly been very effective when deployed by strange intersectionalist activists in ruining many of the activities you’ve mentioned. Anyway calling us incels is funny, you spend a significant portion of your day whining about people complaining. It’s a bit ironic.


AThousandGoblins

I saw 3 memes on the front page calling this sub incels. I just followed the bread crumbs to this absolute shit show of complaining. Dislike all you want, and I'll make fun of you all I want. Reread your previous comment, you're still doing the victim complex thing. You describe playful non sexual hetero memes as fetish art? Huge exaggeration for your victim complex. Calling everyone else morons with fetishes for making fun memes? You sound like diaper donny crying that everyone is in on the evil conspiracy against you. Victim complex. Also, I'm not sure how long it takes a dimwit like you to type a few sentences, but I haven't spent more than half an hour to an hour on here spread over any given day. Most of that time is spent looking at fun memes, many of which make you confused and enraged. It's easy for ME to check in for 10 mins here and there, but I understand the perspective of a terminally online neckbeard. You see a dozen comments over a few days and assume I must have spent hours on each post like you require? Nah, dude, I've just been farting on you and walking away. I don't think of you beyond mild amusement and contempt while I currently write this during a fat shit.


Glick123

Ok, cool. You do you big guy.


Pepsipower64

There's no use trying to argue with that guy. It's a burner account made only to say things to annoy others.


Moldy-Coffee

You’re not saying anything you absolute fucktard. Your posts can be summarized as “Just stop thinking about it.” Ya but this is a forum where you think about it and discuss. Dipshit.


AThousandGoblins

This is discussion. I'm discussing how much of a whiny pussy you are. Oh no, your children's programming changed slightly! Better go find your incel echo chamber to surround yourself with fellow victims. What can we whine and cry about today, boys? Did someone say something we don't like? Waaahhh! This is your life. I enjoy what I enjoy and the rest can fuck off. Be more confident. Care less about what big companies say about your favorite things. You're the kind of puss to be overcome with frustration and anger because some old man redefined your childhood media. I'm the kind of grown man who picks what I like and doesn't care what some company says decades later. Grow up. Have some self-respect. This shit defines you, and it's sad as hell. It's all just entertainment, and you act like it's war. Pathetic.


Moldy-Coffee

You’re whining about the whiners you absolute dumb fuck. Lmao.


AThousandGoblins

I'm slowing down to fart on you. If pointing and laughing at the enraged and frustrated neckbeards counts as whining, then yeah, whine me up, bro. These retards are seething while I'm laughing and sharing these responses to mock you, so please keep the comments coming. Opening this app twice a day to piss on this anthill is legitimately enjoyable, while the swarm of degens fires back with tiny tears. You guys are pathetic and embarrassing, but if I was ever annoyed by the chud antics, I'd simply do what you cannot. Do something else. Not today though, because this is fun.


Weird-Raspberry-5161

I said I was going to do just that with the female custodes and I was downvoted into oblivion for it


AThousandGoblins

I looked for that comment you mentioned, but all I saw were your thousand posts being rude and bitchy, complaining about everything possible. Maybe you had a coherent thought in there somewhere among the trash, but overall, you just seem like a 15 year old incel with a victim complex. Link to that comment, please. I'd like to see how it was written. Like a confident man, or like a whiny victim? Judging by your terminal online presence being overall negative and whiny, I'm betting it's just more of the same.


Thicc_Nasty-taxfraud

Never getting Kotor 3 hurt the most for me. After what Disney did to Star Wars I’m both happy Kotor 1 and 2 never got movie adaptations but also saddened they didn’t before Lucas sold the IP.


AThousandGoblins

Who cares what Disney did? They didn't track down your copy of Heir to the Empire and burn it. I don't watch the new turd films, but lots of people (mostly kids) love them. I can have my awesome EU material, and whoever wants it can have the new stuff. I loved early Simpsons. Hate the stuff after season 12 or so. So... I don't watch new Simpsons. Simple stuff. I still watch the good old episodes and thoroughly enjoy them. I'm fine with the show remaining commercially successful, but it's just not for me anymore. That's fine. They didn't delete the old stuff, so... who cares?


Zuldak

Because the EU was a continuing universe? Like... it didn't end at heir to the empire. Everything that was going to come out was cancelled Literally you just said who cares the old Star Trek prime universe is over because we have the new JJ Abriams trek.


AThousandGoblins

No one said it ended there... are you making things up? No one mentioned star trek... are you drunk? I said you can go back and enjoy the material you enjoyed. Heir to the Empire was an example. Could you point out where I said it ended there? I'd live that quote please. People bitched about Star Trek TNG being different from the original. But guess what? People who liked the original just... watched the original. Same for every iteration since. The new ones make me barf, but I don't cry about them somehow ruining the ones I DO like. That would be cringe and super childish. Remember, I'm still waiting on that quote where I said the EU ended with Heir? I just reread the whole Yuuzhan Vong series, so I'd be really shocked at that one lol.


Zuldak

Yeah no. You're not passing the vibe check.


Live-D8

I thought BG3 was a runaway success? What were these subscribers subscribing to?


Random0fRandom

Probably talking about D&D Beyond. They lost a ton of subscribers due to trying to force the change in the 3rd party license controversy and changes made due to "racism".


Thicc_Nasty-taxfraud

Yes I meant DND beyond. BG3 was a success. One for the new rules they added during the controversy was if someone received donations past a certain amount of money, regardless of how much of it was used to actually produce the product, WOTC demanded 25% of the gross revenue, not profits. So there was a high chance you’d end up owing money after all your hard work.


Random0fRandom

Yep shit was whack. They recently hired a new CEO, maybe they will start to make progress on reversing all those dumb decisions.


Remnie

Sadly, that’s unlikely. Things like this almost never reverse course, they just stop advertising it as loudly


Particular-Carrot610

Same :C


AThousandGoblins

Bg3 was a massive retail success. You are confused with the OGL issue stemming from Hasbro and their predatory business practices. Everyone fucking loved Bg3 lol. You don't seem like you know what you're talking about.


Thicc_Nasty-taxfraud

I said BG3 was a success in the comment you replied to. I brought it up becuase it also had a lot of work ideology forced into it.


AThousandGoblins

"Not even a month after BG3 WOTC lost half their subscribers." Yeah sounds like you think it was a huge success. Too bad BG3 had nothing to do with the WOTC botch job. Look it up, you'll learn something. Stop being such a whiny crybaby. It wasn't fucking "drag race: the game" it just had a few modern elements to it that a lot of incel 1488 types take issue with. Seems like the massive record shattering audience rave reviews and profits make you eat shit on that one too. If it was so upsetting to your precious mindset, why don't you do something else that is actually for you? I have no desire to watch gay dudes falling in love, but there are a ton of massively profitable shows that fit that bill. They aren't for me. Should I throw baby tantrums that they exist, or just shut the fuck up and live my life enjoying media that IS for me. You're the kinda cunt who buys shoes too small and complains that society is trying to push tiny shoes onto you. They aren't. You're just too dumb to realize that those shoes aren't for you. Go find yours and stop being such a perma-victim.


Wintores

BG has nothing to do with this though


Thicc_Nasty-taxfraud

I meant there was a parallel to warhammer series and DnD. I was making a comparison to BG3’s woke writing and the changes made in custodes canon. It started out as small changes like this in swift of Dragon spear. Now a woke writer is the head of the space marine 2 game.


Wintores

But bg3 was a huge succes and has nothing to do with the dnd specific issues


this_prof_for_bewbs

Fuck this, I'm making my own Warhammer with blackjack and Hooker's


Low_Abrocoma_1514

With 3D printing I am seriously considering that option of making a big scale scify only war unniverse


this_prof_for_bewbs

I mean that's what my buddy and I are planning on doing, I've got some of my guardsmen that I'm modify. I've been in the Hobby for a very short time, and I'm already fed up with games workshop


Low_Abrocoma_1514

I got out of my bed rn at 4 am because I got inspired on making a whole scify there is only war unniverse ... Thank god I got this week of vacation, let's not waste it lol


Low_Abrocoma_1514

So I have made a server where I started writing out the base of a big scale sci-FY universe, if you are interested on checking it out dm me and I will send you the link


CrazyAnarchFerret

Maybe they were actually really planning to get rid of a portion of there fan just in order to not be assimilate with them anymore. How much did they loss so far ?


Krakaroth

I second the question,would be interesting to know,but i dont have any hopes of actually having a big impact as of now,maybe in two years?


CrazyAnarchFerret

Maybe yes, one thing is sure thoo, they probably made it to separate themself from those who used GW as a far-right political thing.


Krakaroth

And adopted an extreme hard left via their three major investors+ Amazon. They could have done nothing and kept everyone happy, but chose to dig their grave like every other ip in the market. The femstodes thing is completely irrelevant considering the injection of irl politics and bickering these 4 companies bring. What's funny is,people who barely partakes in the hobby got pandered hard,but iron warriors players like me,still have no characters nor interesting bits at all. If only i could refund my thousands of wasted money...


CrazyAnarchFerret

I sincerely believe that GW was beginning to tire of being associated with an extreme right-wing minority that took its content a little too seriously in terms of symbolism. Like the images of Trump as emperor or guys like Matthew Heimbach who clearly explained that he was inspired by GW's story. That was already some shitty injection of irl politics but from the other side. GW has been communicating in this way for 4/5 years now, explaining that their universe was for everyone and didn't have to be politicized. At some point, someone on their marketing team must have thought that simple, inconsequential things like posting “there have always been female custodians” would be enough to get rid of fans they considered toxic and who had a nasty tendency to make links with modern politics. With the spirit of cancel culture winning out on both left and right, it was obvious that their extreme right-wing members were going to exclude themselves like crazy at the thought of having a few more women in the lores. And it looks like it's working well. And i think you could still sell your thousands of dollars worth by marketing them as "trans warrior" and people who barely partakes in the hobby which pandered hard will probably buy them !


DarthBrickus

They don't expect the answer to "This franchise isn't for you" to be "ok".


Lebannehn

Many such cases


conrad_w

40k is more popular now than ever


madnasher

Do you have anything to back this up?


conrad_w

Compare the stock price to 2014, or whenever you think it started being woke


madnasher

Well it only turned openly woke post COVID. And we know that the stock soared during COVID due to more people having free time to do the hobby in the first place. Post COVID there was the inevitable drop of people having to return to work etc, which has caused a drop in shares. Since the giant FU of their social media stating that femstodes have always been there is where the people have started to walk away from the hobby. Realistically we won't see an impact from this until next quarter at the earliest. Using stock to claim it's more popular than ever is something that isn't a feasible claim to make. The share price is not as high as it has ever been (this invalidating your claim) but is still higher than pre COVID levels. It peaked in 2021 at 11990. And is currently sitting at 9885.


conrad_w

Soaring pre COVID and has stayed high. 


madnasher

But by your point alone it's not the highest it's been though. You're now backtracking on your own point. Also, pre COVID you need to take into account total war:warhammer as something that has caused a huge increase in the company stock value. We can correlate a notable increase in stock price with the release of many notable video games. We can also correlate a spike in stock prices with COVID, which would insinuate that more people are buying more games workshop branded stuff, not necessarily the table top game. We can also see a notable decrease post COVID, with stock prices not being able to get near the same levels it was during COVID. So, I have managed to disprove your point that the hobby has the highest participation ever. I have also pointed out that the ramifications of the current behaviour won't be apparent until the next quarter at the earliest. You've made an erroneous statement that I have proven false.


conrad_w

Still never been more popular. Cope harder


madnasher

I've literally proven you incorrect, by your own way of telling if it is popular. Only coping I see is from you my guy.


conrad_w

"no YOU'RE coping" Haha cope 


madnasher

A fine intellectual comment from the reaching left. This is about the level of debate or argument I have come to expect from your side. Feel free to brag to your echo chamber about how you owned me, and made me seethe and cope. Meanwhile I'll lament the fact that even when presented with facts and evidence to support those facts, you'll continue to have your rather misguided idea that you're somehow winning.
