Women in 40k can be the rulers of worlds, captains of star ships, princeps of titans or generals of armies characters like Lutara and Celestine are favorites among the community. Having a male faction is not sexist.
One of my favorite things about 40k lore is that the gender of the saroritas is almost never given significance to the story or characters. You don’t get any of those cliche moments where arrogant men under estimate them for being women and then get proven wrong. People don’t care that they are female because they are too busy being scared shitless of them.
Also Male Custodies and Female Sisters of silence have a beautiful and complimentary relationship. The Custodies are the hard physical shield, unflinching authority and the disinclined unrelenting violence. The Sisters of Silence are the ethereal mystical, fearless towards the turbulent emotions that to anyone else would spell doom, untouchable and above/beyond petty mortal concerns. The are also unbeatable together in combat, only countered by an orbital strike. The SoS while in the best arms, armor and has undergone the pinnacle of human training, is only a human. She can be overwhelmed or outmatched in combat. The only counter to a Custodies endless martial prowess is the mystical warp. But together they shield each other's weakness and become greater than the sum of their parts. Of course, the notion that men and women being different but complimentary is anathema towards 'some people'.
If custodes are the pinnacle of martial prowess then how could there be a female custody? They were akways men for a reason. If u have men custodies and women ones, the men beat the women cause of the differences between sexes. Even with genetic engineering the men would just be that much more physically powerful than the women ones
@@shawnjames1107 Two of the strongest mortal human faction in 40k are the Sister of Silence and Sisters of Battle. The difference in terms of combat between the two sexes are near nonexistent in the far future.
@@ghostofsparta757 wrong , so in the far future women morphed into a complete different thing? No they are still women and weaker physically in every sense than men. those two you mentioned are inferior to custodes and space marines which are men. And just like in real life the average imperium male soldier is stronger more coordinated than women making them better warriors. This is brainwashing from reality.
The Arbites I think made this episode awesome! The stand and die protocol was Epic! The scene with the power-maul was just incredible! Pump action bolter with the enforcer rounds made my day. They were really brave and competent and stood there in the face of the enemy.without taking one step back! That is how I always imagined them to be Fearless and I like the way the custodian spoke to the arbitrator like he wasn't just a meat sack.
Agree, i also like how the arbites was able to straight up notice the custodes uneasyness and without hesitation able to draw conclusion that shit is going down soon
@@deltaturnip9247 you are correct he is much worse. His imperium creates hundreds of times more suffering than any chaos faction. If you want to analyze him personally an aeldar that came to earth stated his soul looked like a void whale and the chaos gods razor sharks circling him.
It's subjective both ways. If the Emperor was alive though, Imperium of Man would just be the objectively correct faction. Thank goodness for the universe and story he isn't.
@@secondarytrollaccount666 "Such power made Lhaerial’s mind reel, and for a moment her contempt for the creatures of Terra wavered. The mind of the Emperor was a mountain in the surging madness of the Othersea, blinding in its brilliance. The Great Powers circled this place like razorshark waiting out the death throes of a void-whale. That terrible presence held them back, and all His little servants were ignorant of it! Unease gripped her, that she would be noticed by the Dark Gods or their defier, and the fragile flame of her being snuffed out. The feeling passed. The regard of the things of the Othersea was ossified, so long had they fixed their gaze on the Earth. The Emperor did not shift His regard. His attention was elsewhere, upon the blinding pyre of souls, navigation beacon of the mon-keigh. She had no indication she was seen. There was little relief in that. She had laughed in the face of She Who Thirsts, but the Corpse Emperor filled her with a sense of dread."
Really? Cause I can't this guy and I would watch him if I could find this for free.... maybe you needed a male pep talk, I don't really understand why a man would need that but every time dude speaks I worry if he is a cop somewhere..... he is giving off the violence makes his weiner tingle vibe 😬
For such a pinnacle of a "diplomat", she does an absolute shit job of ordering the White Templars to evac the planet. A good diplomat would have acknowledged the White Templars work and dedication to their Oath. In fact, She should have framed it as a great achievement for the White Templars. They successfully completed their Oath until the point came where the Emperor now needed the planet to intentionally fall. Instead, she brow beats him in a so-called "I'm a big badass" staredown. Quite disappointing behavior for a Custode. Some would say, arrogant, even.
I think it's a pretty accurate depiction of powerful beings being disconnected from those who they should be protecting or working along side. I like the idea that she is stating that space marine arrogance is what led to the Horus Heresy, but she is doing the same and maybe there's learning to be had.

Yeah, but HE never said these biological males. He just said "men", and everyone knows the Big E is a transphobe who hates women. There would have been plenty of Trans Custodes rocking chick-dicks and discussing things with the other girls.

@Counterpoints40K At first I thought you were going to straight up ignore the elephant in the room... but you did an EXCELLENT job of not only explaining the controversy, and both sides arguments, in a dispassionate manner, you also put forward your personal feelings on the matter last. Feelings that many of us relate to such that you could have been speaking for us directly and been pretty close if not completely dead on. All while being calm, rational, and direct. I appreciate what you are doing and am glad my initial confusion was wrong. Keep it up man. Thank you.
@@Counterpoints I've always supported representation in 40k if people want it, but I feel like there is this weird demand that to have female representation, male representation must be destroyed, which just confuses me. Long time players have been asking for more Sisters of Battle, more Sisters of Silence, more female Guardsmen, for a decade, both men and women. There was an easy win for everyone here, but instead they just wreck things instead of giving some spotlight to the female representation already in the game. It's baffling.
Well except custodes isn't created from gene seeds, even in the lore book how custodes is created, never mentions gender, they take who is best at a young age, and at 3-4 years old male or female usualy don't matter much. Custodes is handcrafted people, not made from a geneseed from a primarch, the Custodes existed before the primarchs, 10000 of them even, and in the lore about 70-80 of them is known. Which is less then 1% so if some is female isn't breaking anything, the only thing that "could" mention it is an all male group is the word BROTHERHOOD. And you there are plenty of groups, clans etc that is called brotherhood that includes females. INFACT it would had been worse if it was a space marine female which is also weird, like it's the 41th millenium like mankind can't change a few chromosomes....which we could like almost do now in the 21th millenium. And afterall GW with white dwarf in the late 80s showed us female space marines, but they didn't sell well, I remember a space marine amazon for example.
@@olle12 The female space marines in White Dwarf were literally just Sisters of Battle; they had no genetic modifications. The lore states that the custodians are taken from the sons of nobility, and while it doesn't state directly that females can't be taken, it also doesn't say that blind, limbless, deformed children of nobility can't be recruited either. The female custodians make no sense because they aren't exactly hand-crafted anymore because the emperor is no longer around to do it. The emperor more than likely has a standardized process to create custodians; otherwise, it would be impossible to create new ones without his direct guidance, and you can also tell it is a standardized process due to all custodians being roughly equal with a few standouts. If each one was handcrafted and changed to suit them on an individual level, there would be far more variance in the results.
I dont care about female custodes or whatever, I really don't, but it's the reason why GW did it is what pisses me off. If you're in the loop, you know EXACTLY why GW did it, it was all because of the dumb 40k Amazon show collab after all. It's a damn shame, I personally wouldn't even mind female custodes, even more if they actually have somewhat unique armor too, but it's been established for so damn long that Sisters of Silence are basically cool female custodes, that this just simply feels like a shoehorn move.
Thank god someone said it, like I wouldn’t have mind it if they introduced it naturally instead of shoving it in like a pill to a patient in a Pysch ward. Next thing I see is female space marine there will only be female exclusive chapters with female characters taking more of the direction. It’s a fear of mine when things like this happen
exactly, i am not opposed to the idea but it must be done for the right reasons and with care as a hotbutton topic as primaris are, they had care of some level put into them, and space marine 2 proves they can fit into 40K perfectly this fem custodian......DEI Fodder...nothing more......a disgrace to warhammer and to the idea of fem Custodians as well
They did it because a bunch of trolls made a big stink across social media about there being no female space marines. This was GW saying “here now shut up”
@@mkvenner2 no, they desperately want to be bought out by someone so they can just do what Disney does and loan out 40k similar to Star Wars. Problem was Amazon is incredibly woke and demanded blood sacrifices, the custodies were that sacrifice
@@mkvenner2 well if that was the case, they would've done it with space marines, but they specifically said no to female space marines suggestion from Amazon but said they can spare the Custodes instead.
As a Mexican, i always have felt the conection or "being represented" with certain fictional character no matter what race, sex or even if they are humans or not . In 40k for example my favorites have always been The Salamanders and The Blood Angels (not verry Mexican am i right?) "representation" is a lie, it has to do with the individual and their insecurities, not with actually representing yourself on a fictional universe by your race or gender.
Exactly. Didn't matter how or why you connected with a faction, only that you did. I'm not a world consuming horde of alien monsters... I like my nids though...
I hated cinema classic 'Alien' because the hero Ripley wasn't a dude! See how idiotic that sounds? You're bang on. "Representation" is a substitute for subversion.
Makes me happy that the Salamanders seem to be be getting a lot of love lately. Their continued story of kind sacrificing shows the best (that there can be) of that world. Also Vulkan as a perpetual has to come back at some point
Acho cabron ten cuidado que no te quedes sin respirar al chupar tanto bicho blanco. You do realize you are connection the most with chapters who are MEANT to connect with minorities right? You bring up the salamanders, an all black chapter that has strong bonds to family and community, something also present in many Hispanic cultures. You are being influenced by rep and you don’t even realize it, all while trying to lock out others that simply with to also take part in a power fantasy. How insecure and weak do you have to be to want to lock people out of that? You literally lose nothing, and yet here you are bitching about fantasy characters having different skin tones or tits. You nothing but weak man who throws his people under the bus while using their name as shield against criticism. Yeah you have don’t need rep but you sure need to mention your nationality to gain validity on the internet right? Sad as hell, glad to see people with your mentality are dying out even in the fandom. You will not be missed
The problem with this argument arises when you realize that people within these communities idealize their fantasy universe as being one where your ethnicity doesn’t exist or exist as a lesser life form. You really don’t see the problem with anyone who’s not white or male having to seek out either lesser factions or aliens in universe just to get some type of representatio? (Not to mention most humanoid aliens in war hammer are actively experiencing genocide). Also, being pissed at something as small as a woman or non-white person being introduced into a universe where the people dying in wars are in the quadrillions just exposes your personal biases. If you can’t stand to see minorities and women being represented as equals in a fantasy universe what does that say about how you or the writers feel about them in real life?
@@V3n0mCa7na63Not mentioning the fact that Custodes have proven themselves beyond measure, We’re crafted by Malcador and the Emperor personally, and hold some of the most advanced tech and weapons in the entire universe. It makes sense to have a few female Custodes around. Whatever faults they may have are made up with their genetic engineering and bio sculpting the emperor and malcador gave them thus is why they are very very hard to recreate
The women custodes would still not be able to fit the same standard as men no matter engineering. If both men abs women got same engineering the women would not fit same standard of training and ability as men. It’s absurd. Just like in real military they had to lower physical requirements for women.
I wouldn't outright reject a female Custodes if it fits lore wise, but I don't like the retconning GW Writers do ever so often in their stories. That's one of the reasons why I don't like certain parts in The Death & the End Vol. III.
Custodes are hand crafted super beings, why would that be limited to one gender? The emperor created them to be companions and to be intellectually stimulating, again, limiting them one gender would be boring. Space marines have geneseed that requires a human male as a limiting factor.
I keep saying this! I know most of the community would not mind female custodes had they introduced them properly instead of shitty retcons on the lore But now the community is split between the hyper progressives and regular people who just want lore consistency

It can be done but it must be done carefully the problem setting 40K on fire is reckless alterations for quick, easy, and cheap schemes that blown up in the end anyway
@@byronritchie5449As much as there only being female Sisters of Battle or Sisters of Silence, I guess, or genderless Orks, or black Salamanders. I don't care, because Custodes and Space Marines are for newbs, anyway.
I don't like how female custodes were implemented. No one did. It was underhanded and they should have made it an in-lore explanation within the Codex. Imagine if they said this is new, like a very rare few females survive into becoming Custodes, and were only considered after the Lion's Gate and the Custodes needing to rebuild their numbers to the ten thousand. I agree, the thematic of Humanity at it's pinnacle - Men AND Women - Experiencing the fall of mankind and protecting it in it's dying hour is very interesting and I actually like that they went with a design that conveys that, no. Female custodes will not be dainty little princesses. They are built to be towering war machines just like their male counterparts. They gave up that beauty, that desirability that many men would seek in a woman, to become the Emperor's word. If the Adepta Sororitas are the pinnacle of the female form And the Adeptus Astartes are the pinnacle of the male form I think the Adeptus Custodes being the utter peak of humanity as a whole, the Emperor's hand-crafted vision for what mankind would look like as a whole, if he was never stopped is the far more interesting depiction than the under-developed boys in gold. I look forward to the lore, and I will happily eat my own words if this actually does turn out to be the death of a hobby that has stood the test of time. But I believe this too shall pass, it won't be a big deal in the long run because at the end of the day, GW is a business. They stand to make money from at least offering the option here and there for you to get the models you want. Proxies exist, you can kitbash. You don't NEED a female custode in your list. At the end of the day they're your funny little plastic army men. It doesn't matter one bit whether they have a hypothetical dick or not let's be real here. I have a female custode blade champion, she's a great model I kitbashed myself, I really like her. I went more feminine than this depiction, but that's only because I think both is good.
"I agree, the thematic of Humanity at it's pinnacle - Men AND Women - Experiencing the fall of mankind and protecting it in it's dying hour is very interesting" That starkly contrasts with history, though, and the experiences of humanity as a species. Which might be a subconscious part of why it's so unpopular.
I sense the taint of chaos. The works of slanesh i shall inform the inquisition at once and notify the mechanicum we shall turn these heritics into servitors FOR THE EMPORER!!! MVP goes to the guardian spear 🎉 well played
If GW wants to go out of business that's their choice. We have the power to buy or not buy. Speak with your dollars... it's the biggest hammer we have, and that hammer can crush companies. Just ask Bud light.
I just now realized. Not a single woman dies in The Tithes. All of the dead individuals are men, even the female null (Who was the least defended and easiest target for the Lictors) made it through.
Welcome to the sad vaginocracy he'll we live in. No need to wait for 40k years to experience defiance against overwhelming odds against your own faith in your vision of life
Thanks for verbalizing what most of us have been thinking about the political issue at hand. We need to hold the gates against these degenerate deconstructionists harder than ever. If we let it go, the insanity will just deepen and the overton window will be pushed further by these radicals.
I’m an Asian player, and I love the small space given to represent my ethnicity through the whitescars. The mostly vanilla white scar models allows for so much creativity, and I think that’s the best approach. Kit bashing, green stuff, and 3D printers really enable players to make their armies in their own vision. I’ve never had anyone criticize my army. If anything it facilitates beautiful dialogue in which everyone involved can see how we can all carve our own domains in this large expanse without intruding on others. I’ve loved this about warhammer. I’ve always thought that the two missing legions really existed to allow hobbyists to create their own legions, and this is what I’ve done. My vision of warhammer probably differs significantly from the next person, but the immense lore allows for it without forcing it on everyone else
I mean you can also just straight up make your own White Scars Successor chapter to represent a specific Asian culture. White Scars is Mongolian and one of their official successors the Mantis Warriors are somewhat Chinese in culture.
@@Jay-or5ex you can have an Asian Salamander but their culture is completely different. It’s an Asian with Salamander culture. So yeah you can but if you are Asian and want a culturally Asian chapter the salamanders wouldn’t fit the bill.
I am Russian and I also love the White Scars, as well as the Salamanders. The White Scars for their love of freedom and onslaught, the Salamanders for their humanity and resilience.
I for one , strongly oppose female Custodes. If GW wanted to included some more "strong independent" female characters then WHY not make NEW organizations composing "strong independent" female characters instead. NOT simply ruining the already established lore for DECADES. Although we the fans can't really do anything, no matter how frequent we object or protest to GW's decisions. I think we the fans should still ban together TO PREVENT GW from making anymore illogical decisions in the future, such as this one. By abstaining to spend money on their products for a considerable period. I 'm not saying giving up on the hobby or franchise completely. I 'm just saying we should make GW think twice by affecting their SALES quarterly, semi-annually or even annually. 1. Cancelling subscriptions (TV or any) for the mean time. 2. Postponing buying anymore codex, books, novels and models etc. 3. Simply use or play with what you have currently. 4. Finally have time to work on that pile of shame in the mean time. Make it smaller.
10/10 script explaining and providing a pretty rounded argument mate. Thank you for the effort you've put into this video, I think this was one of the best videos I've watched so far, and wasn't expecting how good it was gonna get. I also didn't know anything crazy about the Custodes (outside of TTS, RIP), but establishing a more clear divide where Astartes are the Engine of War, Sisters of battle are the Zealots of Loyalty, and Custodes are the Pillars of Humanity (excuse my vocabulary, it isn't my forte), knowing Custodes are only a cut-above because they're essentially more citizen than war machine, that they represent the capacities that society exists for (art, politics, philosophy, etc) makes greater sense how they actually fitted in the whole "Super-Soldier" collective.
I just wanted to continue the last section without creating a wall of text. When you have such an array of super soldiers, Space Marines, Sisters of Battle, Custodes, knowing how they fit into the whole scheme really mattered, because of how the Primarchs existed to previously be engineered leaders, so it was all pretty rounded, but admittedly I never noticed "Art, Philosophy, etc" was a area kind of vacant, the pieces of human society, really only restricted to nobility or the hive cities?
For years warhammer 40k was a niche it took several youtubers and a particular animator to carry this universe into popularity and yet Games Workshop never fails to disappoint its own base
This was a great review, and I thank you sincerely for speaking your mind and heart on these topics. Know that I and many others share your concerns regarding the ever increasing lore changes and concessions that are becoming more frequent by the day. I am in complete agreement with you thus far and have subscribed to hear more of your thoughts and ideas going forward. Thank you again for your hard work and passion that goes into these videos and scripts
That pat at the end about representation really resonated with me. Its OK to have media that is for us. To hell with representation and to hell with woke ideologies. They should just make their own thing if they feel that way. I love WH40k, but if they try to ruin it, we'll all just move on. Then they'll be banging on the clubhouse doors of the next thing we escape to demanding to be allowed to destroy that too. I hope we can break the cycle here and now.
I thought it was interesting that the sister of silence seemed to be sympathetic and respectful to the White Templars' dilemma. It was a good contrast between her and the Custodes.
Bro really had the right idea when in the middle of the video he said Custodians were handcrafted by the emperor. Literally nobody knows how to make custodians anymore, there was that one guy who made the video about the emperor making a key to the lock that was the individual custodian candidate, now the highest studied gene tailors are just using those old keys of the emperor and seeing which lock they can open with them. Doing this with men is fine because of the whole breeding balance thing, but doing this with women is idiotic through the same argument basis where you wouldnt send all your women to war nowadays. Youd have nobody left back home to make new soldiers. This still applies because custodians arent just made from some random people all over the imperium, they are made from the *Most genetically perfect high nobles of Terra.* Female astartes? sure, maybe. We have quadrillions of people to trial-and-error our way through the process and maybe make some female Astartes. But we dont have the same luxury for the Custodes who are currently being created at a rate of 1 per year in the setting. The emperor made them at a rate of 50 a year prior to being entombed to his throne.
Funny that nobody makes the "breeding balance" argument against the Sisters of Battle, or the female units of the Imperial Guard. The Imperium has trillions of people to choose from. They're not running out of breeding pairs any time soon.
@@BlackEpyonthey did mention with custodians have a higher risk given that theyre taken from those with the best genes which the guard dont tend to have
@@thefakecat8340 Given that nobility tend to inbreed, "the best genes" is a rather subjective criteria. You see it all the time in purebred animals, the ones with the best "desirable" traits tend to have a lot of recessive deleterious genes that become dominant if you keep inbreeding. RESPONSIBLE breeders will introduce a mutt or a grade into the breeding pool now and again in order to dilute the deleterious genes, but you'll notice that throughout most of the past millennium, nobility tended to avoid that. The Hapsburg lip is one famous example. Even if the Custodes selection are the best of the best of Terran nobility, they're a genetic cesspool!
This this this. I’ve mentioned the same things about birth rates and the rate bloodlines of high Terran nobility. There’s NO way those families would sacrifice their daughters to become Custodes. They were always male and they can’t make new ones. So if they weren’t made back then they can’t be made now.
@@norwardradtke1361 Wouldn't be willing to sacrifice their daughters!? Those fuckers would give the Emperor a BJ if he asked for it! They're not going to refuse him anything!
You know that we don't have retcon females astarties. But they could have just started experiments and this Being a rogue faction who saw the threats of the tyranids and was like we need double the warriors. Idk but seems a logical idea at this point given the infantry is mixed gendered. But they would be all new primaris.
There is more than enough representation in Warhammer 40k. It's also entertainment. It doesn't need representation. You have what you get. I don't want to see a female Custodes because it isn't necessary to have one. However, What i will say is that she is exactly what i would expect a female Custodes or Space Marine would look like. Neither are going to be sexy fem fatales. They are going to be big ugly brutes due to the loss of estrogen. Look at any un enhanced female body builder. So at least they got that right.
Valid point, I don't see a major problem with having female Custodes or Astartes and I don't see the benefit in getting outraged. I'm a 40K fan and have gotten very into the IP in the past few years, I enjoy the painting side and I'm very into the lore and recently been playing Space Marine 2 and it's awesome. Just because it was all male and predominantly geared towards males 40+ years ago doesn't mean things can't change and adapt. I don't see how adding in female variants takes away from anyone's enjoyment. You still have access to all of the models and content that already exists and as you pointed out if you show a female Custodes or Astartes they should probably look like the above, you can't even tell the difference since they should all be big hulking monsters in power armour. I get that for some people this is THEIR thing and it's something they connected with at a young age, but there's more than enough room to include some modern sensibilities and variety, I also agree there's already a lot of diversity in the 40K universe so I don't buy anyone stating that there's a lack of representation when almost every faction has a varied showing of gender, race etc.
@@piposull08 i think the outrage is more about the current trend in game development of forcefully putting minorities, woman and LGBTQ+ people just to check boxes without care about the story not only does this end in a lot of cases misrepresentation and clear virtue signaling its also ruin a lot of the story. while this is but a small change that really in my opinion doesn't mean anything its the fear of the fans over what stuff like this can do to a franchise as we have seen with star wars which is now considered to be 100% dead, we all care about Warhammer we don't want it to get ruined. also if this was about adapting the story they would have have at least tried to come up with a lore reason as to why we have never seen any female Custodes until now. in my personal opinion this freak out over the changes are untestable but to me not necessary as this is just one case when we start seeing a pattern of GW sacrificing the story of Warhammer in order to appear more inclusive and to do some virtue signaling them this kind of response is required.
@@byronritchie5449 Warhammer 40k has always had males and females in abundance, why are you unable to see them? Do you not like any of them? Female Custodes are not a thing and you seem upset by it and fail to even recognize whats already there. You explain that first.

@@xanmontes8715 but there are no female space marines. Meaning sisters of battle is not equals to brothers of battle (space marine) that you are trying to imply
I'm not against women in Warhammer, I'm against rewriting the lore, which is almost older than many of the fans. I'm against pandering to propaganda, because it can't be called anything else. I'm almost 100% sure that they are adding women to the lore not because they actually care about the female fans, but because it's a trend / fashion / politics / money. How far could these rewrites go? Are we going to make the Fabricator of Mars a gender-fluid trans helicopter with hairy armpits? One of the lost primarchs a body-positive, non-binary, furry fanboy? I fell in love with Warhammer for the setting, for the lore, for the atmosphere, and now it's turning into a circus. I think it's important to clarify, I'm sure no one is against women in Warhammer or gays, lesbians, or transgender people. It's just that if they exist in the lore, there should be a logical explanation. Female Custodes should have some advantages over male Custodes, or it should be explained how the difference in gender is neutralized by something. All these changes without explanations, just to appease propaganda, destroy the perception of Warhammer.
And overall, I don’t understand why they feel the need to meddle with Warhammer and change it to fit their vision. Why touch a world that has been built over many years, why change its core? If they need all these propaganda gimmicks so much, they should create their own universe exactly the way they want it.
Remember what happened with Concord and dustborn. Even when there's media tailored to that specific audience (mostly keyboard warriors), they still don't consume it bc they don't care about getting what they want, they just want to be angry and rant on Twitter. Meanwhile when you focus on making your product fun you get stuff like Space Marine 2, Helldivers 2, Doom, etc, which can even be enjoyed by diverse audiences.
Custodies and the Sisters of Silence are like the Emperor's own hands. If the Custodes are the right hand then Sisters of Silence are his left hand. And the WOKE that cares not for the 40k in the first place demands the Emperor has two left hands now? If it took another boycott of GW so that they know who is buying their plastic toys then let it be.
It's like a plague, we're slowly witnessing sexual minorities in this franchise. The custodians are like the emperor himself. As far as I know Lor, they've never accepted a woman in this position. They're completely made of the emperor, and now without An attractive story and a background, they want the fans to accept it with pressure, we will never accept it
Making a Custodes female doesn't suddenly make her a blank, which is kinda fundamental to being a Sister of Silence. You have a persecution complex. Get help.
@@BlackEpyon when the hell did he say a female Custodian is a blank? And you have a whataboutism and assumption complex, get help. (Because any word infront of “complex” make me sound smart, even though it doesn’t make sense, wouldnt it?)
@@mediumsurmoon6283 Something about "two left hands" might suggest that OP is upset that the Femstodes are taking the SoS place. In fact, that is a pretty obvious conclusion from OP's post. But that is not the case. SoS are blanks, not just female, so making a female Custodes isn't giving the Emperor "two left hands."
ive been in this hobby for a long while and always thought the astra militarum troops looked unfit for futuristic sci-fi settings but that artwork of one at 6:27 hit the nail on the head
If they just stuck to lore and didn’t make a tzeenchstodes, it would be perfect. That one fact ruins it for me. Call me a chud, I don’t care. The people who took the time to animated and write this story are fantastic. Sisters of silence are amazing and I love they’re getting attention. But they are the women, and custodies are the men.
To all you realize that corporate was the one keeping female characters out from the beginning. This is original authors intent. Which stopped dynamic expressive creativity.
@@rickmolina2206 hahaha, what’s this US obsession with blackrock? You guys are obsessed with conspiracy theories, it’s like the enlightenment never happened. Very grim dark.
23:38 i agree its not really political i dont agree with "MEN need these stories" i also dont agree with the very political " race stuff and minority stuff" you were saying but its good i agree with the story telling aspect. as for the custodes there was a peace of official writing from either the early 2000's or 90's that had a female custodian i think it makes sense the most elite might have a trump card.
Comment section be like "Female custodes is a minor change." yah, it always starts with a minor one. People be acting like they don't see the pattern and trend lately. AFter this "minor" change... what's next? Brothers in the Adepta Sororitas? A man in the Sisters of silence? A Woman Ork? Female Emperor?
And remember folks. There were never female custodes to begin with. Just keep spreading the word and reaffirm that there are only male custodes. End of story
it's not a hobby that was originally aimed at women.. it was aimed for male society.. men and women are allowed/deserve to have different likes and their own stories. especially in the historical precedent of war!
I'm sure you people would love to backslide and go back to a time where people knew their place. And your place obviously being on top of society "again". Sorry that more and more women are getting into Warhammer I guess. Times change. GW changed. The writers who're at Black Library changed, and an overwhelming majority of them are straight white dudes who're socially left leaning. Like how did you think 40k started? lol
I think it might have gone something like this: "We need more strong women in 40k, actually..no we need more of the STRONGEST women in 40k, so how can we make that happen? Emperor? no... Primarchs? maaaaybeee....ehh no. oh! Custodes! they're the strongest, time to make'em wahmen!
Here we go a Girl Boss Custode Lecturing a Man...AM Tired Of Such A Nonsensical Message... Am Sure This Wil Age or End Well, Sister Of Silence Looks Awesome Even Talks in sign language
Wokehammer is already represented by Slaanesh. Slaanesh wrote the LGBTQ codex. There are even Toy figurines that model Trans people in a Slaanesh army. Progressive people need to channel their creativity into Slaanesh where all of their imaginations can have a toy model and nobody would complain. AND, with enough progressive writing, even Slaanesh can join the Imperium.
Dude right. If they want to be trans then Slaanesh is where their representation is. That’s how that is “represented” in universe. But GW has to now for diversity quotas due to being partly owned by Blackrock now
I really liked the Sister of SIlence using actual sign language, very cool
She was a cool character, the custodies was a horrible to watch, so wooden.
They're supposed to have their own sign language, but using BSL is like how that use fake Latin for high gothic and English for low gothic.
@@HOSPlTALLERi mean, that sounds about right for your average custodian
@@HOSPlTALLER No way, the genetically perfect near demigod super soldier representing a literal god emperor isn't the most emotive character? chud

Women in 40k can be the rulers of worlds, captains of star ships, princeps of titans or generals of armies characters like Lutara and Celestine are favorites among the community. Having a male faction is not sexist.
No but it is racist
they dont want that.
They want female custodians and space marines because YOU dont want it.
They just want to win.
You could say Xenophobic even😮@@Pickupthattcan
@@Pickupthattcan?
one of the main character is a sister of silence a SISTER why does everything have to change to make a minority feel comfortable
One of my favorite things about 40k lore is that the gender of the saroritas is almost never given significance to the story or characters. You don’t get any of those cliche moments where arrogant men under estimate them for being women and then get proven wrong. People don’t care that they are female because they are too busy being scared shitless of them.
An army of power armoured murder nuns is always terrifying.
yeah their null field is no joke even for non psyker. I still wonder how Eisenhorn could stand near Bequin
Also Male Custodies and Female Sisters of silence have a beautiful and complimentary relationship.
The Custodies are the hard physical shield, unflinching authority and the disinclined unrelenting violence.
The Sisters of Silence are the ethereal mystical, fearless towards the turbulent emotions that to anyone else would spell doom, untouchable and above/beyond petty mortal concerns.
The are also unbeatable together in combat, only countered by an orbital strike. The SoS while in the best arms, armor and has undergone the pinnacle of human training, is only a human. She can be overwhelmed or outmatched in combat.
The only counter to a Custodies endless martial prowess is the mystical warp.
But together they shield each other's weakness and become greater than the sum of their parts.
Of course, the notion that men and women being different but complimentary is anathema towards 'some people'.
Well said my friend
If custodes are the pinnacle of martial prowess then how could there be a female custody? They were akways men for a reason. If u have men custodies and women ones, the men beat the women cause of the differences between sexes. Even with genetic engineering the men would just be that much more physically powerful than the women ones
@@shawnjames1107 Two of the strongest mortal human faction in 40k are the Sister of Silence and Sisters of Battle. The difference in terms of combat between the two sexes are near nonexistent in the far future.
@@ghostofsparta757 wrong , so in the far future women morphed into a complete different thing? No they are still women and weaker physically in every sense than men. those two you mentioned are inferior to custodes and space marines which are men. And just like in real life the average imperium male soldier is stronger more coordinated than women making them better warriors. This is brainwashing from reality.
very well said. To change a work of art is to loose its subtle meanings.
Arbites action is always gonna be welcome and has me wanting to work more on my Arbites Null I've had for a while
Yes, I feel like the coolness of the Arbites gets totally overlooked by all the blah-blah of the custode. They're bringing it!
The Arbites I think made this episode awesome! The stand and die protocol was Epic! The scene with the power-maul was just incredible!
Pump action bolter with the enforcer rounds made my day. They were really brave and competent and stood there in the face of the enemy.without taking one step back! That is how I always imagined them to be Fearless and I like the way the custodian spoke to the arbitrator like he wasn't just a meat sack.
Agree, i also like how the arbites was able to straight up notice the custodes uneasyness and without hesitation able to draw conclusion that shit is going down soon
probably the arbites level assigned to black ship escort are the top of the top for the planet. Probably closer to tempestus scion than imperial guard
Thanks! 19:05 preach brother!

When people say the Emperor isn't a Chaos God, I reference his daily diet.
He's a quasi chaos god, could possibly accent to full as seen at the end of the horus heresy
@@deltaturnip9247 you are correct he is much worse. His imperium creates hundreds of times more suffering than any chaos faction. If you want to analyze him personally an aeldar that came to earth stated his soul looked like a void whale and the chaos gods razor sharks circling him.
After ten thousand years of horrors of his eternal sleep he pretty much became one..
It's subjective both ways. If the Emperor was alive though, Imperium of Man would just be the objectively correct faction. Thank goodness for the universe and story he isn't.
@@secondarytrollaccount666 "Such power made Lhaerial’s mind reel, and for a moment her contempt for the creatures of Terra wavered. The mind of the Emperor was a mountain in the surging madness of the Othersea, blinding in its brilliance. The Great Powers circled this place like razorshark waiting out the death throes of a void-whale. That terrible presence held them back, and all His little servants were ignorant of it! Unease gripped her, that she would be noticed by the Dark Gods or their defier, and the fragile flame of her being snuffed out.
The feeling passed. The regard of the things of the Othersea was ossified, so long had they fixed their gaze on the Earth. The Emperor did not shift His regard. His attention was elsewhere, upon the blinding pyre of souls, navigation beacon of the mon-keigh. She had no indication she was seen. There was little relief in that. She had laughed in the face of She Who Thirsts, but the Corpse Emperor filled her with a sense of dread."

For such a pinnacle of a "diplomat", she does an absolute shit job of ordering the White Templars to evac the planet. A good diplomat would have acknowledged the White Templars work and dedication to their Oath. In fact, She should have framed it as a great achievement for the White Templars. They successfully completed their Oath until the point came where the Emperor now needed the planet to intentionally fall. Instead, she brow beats him in a so-called "I'm a big badass" staredown. Quite disappointing behavior for a Custode. Some would say, arrogant, even.
Yeah GW did it to go SEE LOOK AT THE BIG BAD WOMAN WINNING THE PISSING CONTEST AGAINST A MAN lol. So cringe and obvious
She’s a Custodes. Her word is law as she carries the will of the emperor. The white Templars are lucky she didn’t cut them down for arguing her orders
@@norwardradtke1361the only thing obvious is your complete and utter idiocy. She’s a Custodes, her word is literally above all except the emperor
Son stfu. Space marines are the dumb brutes, pawns of the imperium but custodes are the real deal no matter the gender
I think it's a pretty accurate depiction of powerful beings being disconnected from those who they should be protecting or working along side. I like the idea that she is stating that space marine arrogance is what led to the Horus Heresy, but she is doing the same and maybe there's learning to be had.
“These men are my bodyguards, their lives forfeit to the guarantee of my physical safety. Of their loyalty to me there shall be no question nor doubt. I, and I alone, shall have the authority to stand in judgement over them. No other commander shall they have in battle nor in service. None shall bar them from me and none shall hamper or stall their mission. So it is decreed!”

The age of strife coincides with the creation of the first female custodes, circa 2024.

Maybe that Custodian is transitioning?🤣
Yeah, but HE never said these biological males. He just said "men", and everyone knows the Big E is a transphobe who hates women.
There would have been plenty of Trans Custodes rocking chick-dicks and discussing things with the other girls. Like how much their female-period was distracting them from combat duties, or how much the Empire is a disgusting capitalist patriarchy which requires dismantling into something more pure and communist.

@Counterpoints40K
At first I thought you were going to straight up ignore the elephant in the room... but you did an EXCELLENT job of not only explaining the controversy, and both sides arguments, in a dispassionate manner, you also put forward your personal feelings on the matter last. Feelings that many of us relate to such that you could have been speaking for us directly and been pretty close if not completely dead on. All while being calm, rational, and direct.
I appreciate what you are doing and am glad my initial confusion was wrong. Keep it up man. Thank you.
I live to serve.
@@Counterpoints I've always supported representation in 40k if people want it, but I feel like there is this weird demand that to have female representation, male representation must be destroyed, which just confuses me. Long time players have been asking for more Sisters of Battle, more Sisters of Silence, more female Guardsmen, for a decade, both men and women. There was an easy win for everyone here, but instead they just wreck things instead of giving some spotlight to the female representation already in the game. It's baffling.
Well except custodes isn't created from gene seeds, even in the lore book how custodes is created, never mentions gender, they take who is best at a young age, and at 3-4 years old male or female usualy don't matter much. Custodes is handcrafted people, not made from a geneseed from a primarch, the Custodes existed before the primarchs, 10000 of them even, and in the lore about 70-80 of them is known. Which is less then 1% so if some is female isn't breaking anything, the only thing that "could" mention it is an all male group is the word BROTHERHOOD. And you there are plenty of groups, clans etc that is called brotherhood that includes females. INFACT it would had been worse if it was a space marine female which is also weird, like it's the 41th millenium like mankind can't change a few chromosomes....which we could like almost do now in the 21th millenium. And afterall GW with white dwarf in the late 80s showed us female space marines, but they didn't sell well, I remember a space marine amazon for example.
@@olle12 The female space marines in White Dwarf were literally just Sisters of Battle; they had no genetic modifications. The lore states that the custodians are taken from the sons of nobility, and while it doesn't state directly that females can't be taken, it also doesn't say that blind, limbless, deformed children of nobility can't be recruited either. The female custodians make no sense because they aren't exactly hand-crafted anymore because the emperor is no longer around to do it. The emperor more than likely has a standardized process to create custodians; otherwise, it would be impossible to create new ones without his direct guidance, and you can also tell it is a standardized process due to all custodians being roughly equal with a few standouts. If each one was handcrafted and changed to suit them on an individual level, there would be far more variance in the results.
I dont care about female custodes or whatever, I really don't, but it's the reason why GW did it is what pisses me off. If you're in the loop, you know EXACTLY why GW did it, it was all because of the dumb 40k Amazon show collab after all. It's a damn shame, I personally wouldn't even mind female custodes, even more if they actually have somewhat unique armor too, but it's been established for so damn long that Sisters of Silence are basically cool female custodes, that this just simply feels like a shoehorn move.
Thank god someone said it, like I wouldn’t have mind it if they introduced it naturally instead of shoving it in like a pill to a patient in a Pysch ward. Next thing I see is female space marine there will only be female exclusive chapters with female characters taking more of the direction. It’s a fear of mine when things like this happen
exactly, i am not opposed to the idea but it must be done for the right reasons and with care
as a hotbutton topic as primaris are, they had care of some level put into them, and space marine 2 proves they can fit into 40K perfectly
this fem custodian......DEI Fodder...nothing more......a disgrace to warhammer and to the idea of fem Custodians as well
They did it because a bunch of trolls made a big stink across social media about there being no female space marines. This was GW saying “here now shut up”
@@mkvenner2 no, they desperately want to be bought out by someone so they can just do what Disney does and loan out 40k similar to Star Wars. Problem was Amazon is incredibly woke and demanded blood sacrifices, the custodies were that sacrifice
@@mkvenner2 well if that was the case, they would've done it with space marines, but they specifically said no to female space marines suggestion from Amazon but said they can spare the Custodes instead.
Thanks for your constant work Connor
VERY well said at the end. You put my exact thoughts into words. Loved the video dude. Subbed.
As a Mexican, i always have felt the conection or "being represented" with certain fictional character no matter what race, sex or even if they are humans or not . In 40k for example my favorites have always been The Salamanders and The Blood Angels (not verry Mexican am i right?) "representation" is a lie, it has to do with the individual and their insecurities, not with actually representing yourself on a fictional universe by your race or gender.
Exactly.
Didn't matter how or why you connected with a faction, only that you did.
I'm not a world consuming horde of alien monsters... I like my nids though...
I hated cinema classic 'Alien' because the hero Ripley wasn't a dude!
See how idiotic that sounds?
You're bang on. "Representation" is a substitute for subversion.
Makes me happy that the Salamanders seem to be be getting a lot of love lately. Their continued story of kind sacrificing shows the best (that there can be) of that world. Also Vulkan as a perpetual has to come back at some point
Acho cabron ten cuidado que no te quedes sin respirar al chupar tanto bicho blanco. You do realize you are connection the most with chapters who are MEANT to connect with minorities right? You bring up the salamanders, an all black chapter that has strong bonds to family and community, something also present in many Hispanic cultures. You are being influenced by rep and you don’t even realize it, all while trying to lock out others that simply with to also take part in a power fantasy. How insecure and weak do you have to be to want to lock people out of that? You literally lose nothing, and yet here you are bitching about fantasy characters having different skin tones or tits. You nothing but weak man who throws his people under the bus while using their name as shield against criticism. Yeah you have don’t need rep but you sure need to mention your nationality to gain validity on the internet right? Sad as hell, glad to see people with your mentality are dying out even in the fandom. You will not be missed
The problem with this argument arises when you realize that people within these communities idealize their fantasy universe as being one where your ethnicity doesn’t exist or exist as a lesser life form. You really don’t see the problem with anyone who’s not white or male having to seek out either lesser factions or aliens in universe just to get some type of representatio? (Not to mention most humanoid aliens in war hammer are actively experiencing genocide). Also, being pissed at something as small as a woman or non-white person being introduced into a universe where the people dying in wars are in the quadrillions just exposes your personal biases. If you can’t stand to see minorities and women being represented as equals in a fantasy universe what does that say about how you or the writers feel about them in real life?
I enjoy his explanation of this custodes are the pinnacle of mankind. Sisters of battle are the pinnacle of women the astartes are the pinnacle of men

@@forestjohnson7474 I’ll overlook the women in custodes if they uphold that standard
@@V3n0mCa7na63Not mentioning the fact that Custodes have proven themselves beyond measure, We’re crafted by Malcador and the Emperor personally, and hold some of the most advanced tech and weapons in the entire universe. It makes sense to have a few female Custodes around. Whatever faults they may have are made up with their genetic engineering and bio sculpting the emperor and malcador gave them thus is why they are very very hard to recreate
The women custodes would still not be able to fit the same standard as men no matter engineering. If both men abs women got same engineering the women would not fit same standard of training and ability as men. It’s absurd. Just like in real military they had to lower physical requirements for women.
I always find it funny when any warp-related shenanigans story begins with “Woops! Warp storm; all the astropaths die immediately.”
I wouldn't outright reject a female Custodes if it fits lore wise, but I don't like the retconning GW Writers do ever so often in their stories. That's one of the reasons why I don't like certain parts in The Death & the End Vol. III.
this
It's just the way they did it that upset people :(
Yea, it would have been better if they started getting female custodians recruited recently
Custodes are hand crafted super beings, why would that be limited to one gender? The emperor created them to be companions and to be intellectually stimulating, again, limiting them one gender would be boring. Space marines have geneseed that requires a human male as a limiting factor.
I keep saying this! I know most of the community would not mind female custodes had they introduced them properly instead of shitty retcons on the lore
But now the community is split between the hyper progressives and regular people who just want lore consistency

@@markfreeman4727 how is female custodes like a wrecking ball?
I don't like how female custodes were implemented. No one did. It was underhanded and they should have made it an in-lore explanation within the Codex. Imagine if they said this is new, like a very rare few females survive into becoming Custodes, and were only considered after the Lion's Gate and the Custodes needing to rebuild their numbers to the ten thousand.
I agree, the thematic of Humanity at it's pinnacle - Men AND Women - Experiencing the fall of mankind and protecting it in it's dying hour is very interesting and I actually like that they went with a design that conveys that, no. Female custodes will not be dainty little princesses. They are built to be towering war machines just like their male counterparts. They gave up that beauty, that desirability that many men would seek in a woman, to become the Emperor's word.
If the Adepta Sororitas are the pinnacle of the female form
And the Adeptus Astartes are the pinnacle of the male form
I think the Adeptus Custodes being the utter peak of humanity as a whole, the Emperor's hand-crafted vision for what mankind would look like as a whole, if he was never stopped is the far more interesting depiction than the under-developed boys in gold. I look forward to the lore, and I will happily eat my own words if this actually does turn out to be the death of a hobby that has stood the test of time. But I believe this too shall pass, it won't be a big deal in the long run because at the end of the day, GW is a business. They stand to make money from at least offering the option here and there for you to get the models you want. Proxies exist, you can kitbash. You don't NEED a female custode in your list.
At the end of the day they're your funny little plastic army men. It doesn't matter one bit whether they have a hypothetical dick or not let's be real here. I have a female custode blade champion, she's a great model I kitbashed myself, I really like her. I went more feminine than this depiction, but that's only because I think both is good.
"I agree, the thematic of Humanity at it's pinnacle - Men AND Women - Experiencing the fall of mankind and protecting it in it's dying hour is very interesting" That starkly contrasts with history, though, and the experiences of humanity as a species. Which might be a subconscious part of why it's so unpopular.
I sense the taint of chaos. The works of slanesh i shall inform the inquisition at once and notify the mechanicum we shall turn these heritics into servitors FOR THE EMPORER!!! MVP goes to the guardian spear 🎉 well played

No, that doesn't work for me. This behavior can't be rewarded by only giving them my money for "the parts I like".
If GW wants to go out of business that's their choice. We have the power to buy or not buy. Speak with your dollars... it's the biggest hammer we have, and that hammer can crush companies. Just ask Bud light.
I just now realized. Not a single woman dies in The Tithes. All of the dead individuals are men, even the female null (Who was the least defended and easiest target for the Lictors) made it through.

Thanks for verbalizing what most of us have been thinking about the political issue at hand. We need to hold the gates against these degenerate deconstructionists harder than ever. If we let it go, the insanity will just deepen and the overton window will be pushed further by these radicals.
As a man im outraged! Why are there no men in the "Sisters of Silence"!!!
Everyone, write to your congress leaders.
I’m an Asian player, and I love the small space given to represent my ethnicity through the whitescars. The mostly vanilla white scar models allows for so much creativity, and I think that’s the best approach. Kit bashing, green stuff, and 3D printers really enable players to make their armies in their own vision. I’ve never had anyone criticize my army. If anything it facilitates beautiful dialogue in which everyone involved can see how we can all carve our own domains in this large expanse without intruding on others. I’ve loved this about warhammer. I’ve always thought that the two missing legions really existed to allow hobbyists to create their own legions, and this is what I’ve done. My vision of warhammer probably differs significantly from the next person, but the immense lore allows for it without forcing it on everyone else
Love the White Scars brother, for the Khan!
I mean you can also just straight up make your own White Scars Successor chapter to represent a specific Asian culture. White Scars is Mongolian and one of their official successors the Mantis Warriors are somewhat Chinese in culture.
@@ICECAPPEDSKYOr, he can just make an Asian Salamander. I don't think we have to limit each Space Marine Chapter to a specified race.
@@Jay-or5ex you can have an Asian Salamander but their culture is completely different. It’s an Asian with Salamander culture.
So yeah you can but if you are Asian and want a culturally Asian chapter the salamanders wouldn’t fit the bill.
I am Russian and I also love the White Scars, as well as the Salamanders. The White Scars for their love of freedom and onslaught, the Salamanders for their humanity and resilience.
I for one , strongly oppose female Custodes. If GW wanted to included some more "strong independent" female characters then WHY not make NEW organizations composing "strong independent" female characters instead. NOT simply ruining the already established lore for DECADES.
Although we the fans can't really do anything, no matter how frequent we object or protest to GW's decisions.
I think we the fans should still ban together TO PREVENT GW from making anymore illogical decisions in the future, such as this one. By abstaining to spend money on their products for a considerable period. I 'm not saying giving up on the hobby or franchise completely. I 'm just saying we should make GW think twice by affecting their SALES quarterly, semi-annually or even annually.
1. Cancelling subscriptions (TV or any) for the mean time.
2. Postponing buying anymore codex, books, novels and models etc.
3. Simply use or play with what you have currently.
4. Finally have time to work on that pile of shame in the mean time. Make it smaller.
A ton of people ended their warhammer plus accounts of this actually, in boycott, and also because of the lack of new content on that platform

10/10 script explaining and providing a pretty rounded argument mate.
Thank you for the effort you've put into this video, I think this was one of the best videos I've watched so far, and wasn't expecting how good it was gonna get.
I also didn't know anything crazy about the Custodes (outside of TTS, RIP), but establishing a more clear divide where Astartes are the Engine of War, Sisters of battle are the Zealots of Loyalty, and Custodes are the Pillars of Humanity (excuse my vocabulary, it isn't my forte), knowing Custodes are only a cut-above because they're essentially more citizen than war machine, that they represent the capacities that society exists for (art, politics, philosophy, etc) makes greater sense how they actually fitted in the whole "Super-Soldier" collective.
I just wanted to continue the last section without creating a wall of text.
When you have such an array of super soldiers, Space Marines, Sisters of Battle, Custodes, knowing how they fit into the whole scheme really mattered, because of how the Primarchs existed to previously be engineered leaders, so it was all pretty rounded, but admittedly I never noticed "Art, Philosophy, etc" was a area kind of vacant, the pieces of human society, really only restricted to nobility or the hive cities?
For years warhammer 40k was a niche it took several youtubers and a particular animator to carry this universe into popularity and yet Games Workshop never fails to disappoint its own base
The animation looks great!
Wdym?
They destroyed Stars Wars and I will not allow them to destroy WH40k 😤😤😤
This was a great review, and I thank you sincerely for speaking your mind and heart on these topics.
Know that I and many others share your concerns regarding the ever increasing lore changes and concessions that are becoming more frequent by the day.
I am in complete agreement with you thus far and have subscribed to hear more of your thoughts and ideas going forward. Thank you again for your hard work and passion that goes into these videos and scripts
We need Silent Brothers! Equal rights, Equal rights😂
Why not? You can't have all the male blanks becoming Jurgen clones!
from what i remember the male nulls are all piloting the psy-titans. SO unfortunate the emperor can't phisically call them into service anymore
@@albe8479 I was wondering what they did with them.
Naw, all the male nulls get turned into culexus assassins.
Equal rights is a joke, Female custodes is a joke, GW is the circus
That pat at the end about representation really resonated with me. Its OK to have media that is for us. To hell with representation and to hell with woke ideologies. They should just make their own thing if they feel that way. I love WH40k, but if they try to ruin it, we'll all just move on. Then they'll be banging on the clubhouse doors of the next thing we escape to demanding to be allowed to destroy that too. I hope we can break the cycle here and now.
Completely agree with everything you said
That sister of battle and those space marines are my favorite in this.
I thought it was interesting that the sister of silence seemed to be sympathetic and respectful to the White Templars' dilemma. It was a good contrast between her and the Custodes.
Bro really had the right idea when in the middle of the video he said Custodians were handcrafted by the emperor. Literally nobody knows how to make custodians anymore, there was that one guy who made the video about the emperor making a key to the lock that was the individual custodian candidate, now the highest studied gene tailors are just using those old keys of the emperor and seeing which lock they can open with them. Doing this with men is fine because of the whole breeding balance thing, but doing this with women is idiotic through the same argument basis where you wouldnt send all your women to war nowadays. Youd have nobody left back home to make new soldiers.
This still applies because custodians arent just made from some random people all over the imperium, they are made from the *Most genetically perfect high nobles of Terra.*
Female astartes? sure, maybe. We have quadrillions of people to trial-and-error our way through the process and maybe make some female Astartes. But we dont have the same luxury for the Custodes who are currently being created at a rate of 1 per year in the setting. The emperor made them at a rate of 50 a year prior to being entombed to his throne.
Funny that nobody makes the "breeding balance" argument against the Sisters of Battle, or the female units of the Imperial Guard. The Imperium has trillions of people to choose from. They're not running out of breeding pairs any time soon.
@@BlackEpyonthey did mention with custodians have a higher risk given that theyre taken from those with the best genes which the guard dont tend to have
@@thefakecat8340 Given that nobility tend to inbreed, "the best genes" is a rather subjective criteria. You see it all the time in purebred animals, the ones with the best "desirable" traits tend to have a lot of recessive deleterious genes that become dominant if you keep inbreeding. RESPONSIBLE breeders will introduce a mutt or a grade into the breeding pool now and again in order to dilute the deleterious genes, but you'll notice that throughout most of the past millennium, nobility tended to avoid that. The Hapsburg lip is one famous example. Even if the Custodes selection are the best of the best of Terran nobility, they're a genetic cesspool!
This this this. I’ve mentioned the same things about birth rates and the rate bloodlines of high Terran nobility. There’s NO way those families would sacrifice their daughters to become Custodes. They were always male and they can’t make new ones. So if they weren’t made back then they can’t be made now.
@@norwardradtke1361 Wouldn't be willing to sacrifice their daughters!? Those fuckers would give the Emperor a BJ if he asked for it! They're not going to refuse him anything!
You know that we don't have retcon females astarties. But they could have just started experiments and this Being a rogue faction who saw the threats of the tyranids and was like we need double the warriors. Idk but seems a logical idea at this point given the infantry is mixed gendered. But they would be all new primaris.
THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A FEMALE CUSTODES.
This is the work of tzeench.
Do not let it get to you, brother.
And there never will be female custodes. They are not a thing.
Careful you don't overdose on that copium you're huffing.
@@Dark_Custodes Such heresy........
There is more than enough representation in Warhammer 40k. It's also entertainment. It doesn't need representation. You have what you get. I don't want to see a female Custodes because it isn't necessary to have one. However, What i will say is that she is exactly what i would expect a female Custodes or Space Marine would look like. Neither are going to be sexy fem fatales. They are going to be big ugly brutes due to the loss of estrogen. Look at any un enhanced female body builder. So at least they got that right.
How come you don’t like representation?
Do you not like seeing minorities and women?
Valid point, I don't see a major problem with having female Custodes or Astartes and I don't see the benefit in getting outraged. I'm a 40K fan and have gotten very into the IP in the past few years, I enjoy the painting side and I'm very into the lore and recently been playing Space Marine 2 and it's awesome.
Just because it was all male and predominantly geared towards males 40+ years ago doesn't mean things can't change and adapt. I don't see how adding in female variants takes away from anyone's enjoyment. You still have access to all of the models and content that already exists and as you pointed out if you show a female Custodes or Astartes they should probably look like the above, you can't even tell the difference since they should all be big hulking monsters in power armour.
I get that for some people this is THEIR thing and it's something they connected with at a young age, but there's more than enough room to include some modern sensibilities and variety, I also agree there's already a lot of diversity in the 40K universe so I don't buy anyone stating that there's a lack of representation when almost every faction has a varied showing of gender, race etc.
oh my God Warhammer is going woke
@@piposull08 i think the outrage is more about the current trend in game development of forcefully putting minorities, woman and LGBTQ+ people just to check boxes without care about the story not only does this end in a lot of cases misrepresentation and clear virtue signaling its also ruin a lot of the story.
while this is but a small change that really in my opinion doesn't mean anything its the fear of the fans over what stuff like this can do to a franchise as we have seen with star wars which is now considered to be 100% dead, we all care about Warhammer we don't want it to get ruined.
also if this was about adapting the story they would have have at least tried to come up with a lore reason as to why we have never seen any female Custodes until now.
in my personal opinion this freak out over the changes are untestable but to me not necessary as this is just one case when we start seeing a pattern of GW sacrificing the story of Warhammer in order to appear more inclusive and to do some virtue signaling them this kind of response is required.
@@byronritchie5449 Warhammer 40k has always had males and females in abundance, why are you unable to see them? Do you not like any of them? Female Custodes are not a thing and you seem upset by it and fail to even recognize whats already there. You explain that first.

This push to change an “all male military unit” to a politically correct gender neutral 💩, ALMOST makes me want to boycott 40K altogether!!
I can’t stand this world of,” If you don’t like what the correct way is that we say at this moment in time..Then so what. We’ll just push it down your throat till you accept it”…..Well I’m here to STAND UP FOR MY BELOVED BELIEFS AS WELL and whats going on right now is getting REALLY OLD FAST!
Well that sucks. I was looking for a reason to save my money and not buy models. Such a complete disappointment Games Workshop. Way to show how little you care for your fans, and value other demands above your income base. Good luck.
They have literally never given a shit about their fans. They're a corporation who's only goal since the 80's has been to sell games and make profit. So go home and overdose on that copium you're huffing, because this was never about you.
Dude I love you and I've always wanted to be a strong warhammer fan, but your argument at the end is pure gold, I subscribed and would watch or listen to more of this any time of the day... LET'S GOOOOO MAN POWER BRO
This is even worse than I thought.
Not only did they put a female Custodes in for purely political reasons, but they also made her into a raging feminist witch. RIP Games Workshop I guess.
First female custodian we ever see, and she's a Karen: I require to speak with the "manager" of White Templars
I mean, basically all custodians are Karens xD
If you ever see a custodian act like a saint let me know because it’d be news to me.
I think boob armor is bad not because fan service but because it makes for sucky armor.

sister of silence was assome, but feminist propaganda Female castode ruined it
She's no Costudes, hell none of them are even close to anything of the sort of ANY of the warriors of the emperor. The only good one is the sister of silence

@Machoman50ta play with my what...?
i don't like Bald girl
Awesome commentary and breakdown as usual. Spot on analysis on the controversy at the end.
I'm not against women in Warhammer, I'm against rewriting the lore, which is almost older than many of the fans. I'm against pandering to propaganda, because it can't be called anything else. I'm almost 100% sure that they are adding women to the lore not because they actually care about the female fans, but because it's a trend / fashion / politics / money. How far could these rewrites go? Are we going to make the Fabricator of Mars a gender-fluid trans helicopter with hairy armpits? One of the lost primarchs a body-positive, non-binary, furry fanboy?
I fell in love with Warhammer for the setting, for the lore, for the atmosphere, and now it's turning into a circus. I think it's important to clarify, I'm sure no one is against women in Warhammer or gays, lesbians, or transgender people. It's just that if they exist in the lore, there should be a logical explanation. Female Custodes should have some advantages over male Custodes, or it should be explained how the difference in gender is neutralized by something.
All these changes without explanations, just to appease propaganda, destroy the perception of Warhammer.
And overall, I don’t understand why they feel the need to meddle with Warhammer and change it to fit their vision. Why touch a world that has been built over many years, why change its core? If they need all these propaganda gimmicks so much, they should create their own universe exactly the way they want it.
Heressy, brother... Heressy.
Remember what happened with Concord and dustborn. Even when there's media tailored to that specific audience (mostly keyboard warriors), they still don't consume it bc they don't care about getting what they want, they just want to be angry and rant on Twitter.
Meanwhile when you focus on making your product fun you get stuff like Space Marine 2, Helldivers 2, Doom, etc, which can even be enjoyed by diverse audiences.
I love the sister's bubble of null
Somehow Palpatine returned
Custodies and the Sisters of Silence are like the Emperor's own hands. If the Custodes are the right hand then Sisters of Silence are his left hand. And the WOKE that cares not for the 40k in the first place demands the Emperor has two left hands now? If it took another boycott of GW so that they know who is buying their plastic toys then let it be.
It's like a plague, we're slowly witnessing sexual minorities in this franchise. The custodians are like the emperor himself. As far as I know Lor, they've never accepted a woman in this position. They're completely made of the emperor, and now without An attractive story and a background, they want the fans to accept it with pressure, we will never accept it
shame that a substantial boycott will be needed to make a dent because amazon is going throw so much money at GM with those exclusive contracts,
Making a Custodes female doesn't suddenly make her a blank, which is kinda fundamental to being a Sister of Silence. You have a persecution complex. Get help.
@@BlackEpyon when the hell did he say a female Custodian is a blank? And you have a whataboutism and assumption complex, get help.
(Because any word infront of “complex” make me sound smart, even though it doesn’t make sense, wouldnt it?)
@@mediumsurmoon6283 Something about "two left hands" might suggest that OP is upset that the Femstodes are taking the SoS place. In fact, that is a pretty obvious conclusion from OP's post. But that is not the case. SoS are blanks, not just female, so making a female Custodes isn't giving the Emperor "two left hands."
ive been in this hobby for a long while and always thought the astra militarum troops looked unfit for futuristic sci-fi settings but that artwork of one at 6:27 hit the nail on the head
If they just stuck to lore and didn’t make a tzeenchstodes, it would be perfect. That one fact ruins it for me. Call me a chud, I don’t care.
The people who took the time to animated and write this story are fantastic. Sisters of silence are amazing and I love they’re getting attention. But they are the women, and custodies are the men.
I'm just glad you didn't make a "stay in the kitchen" comment. Many tourists are so heinous and vile...

23:38 i agree its not really political i dont agree with "MEN need these stories" i also dont agree with the very political " race stuff and minority stuff" you were saying but its good i agree with the story telling aspect. as for the custodes there was a peace of official writing from either the early 2000's or 90's that had a female custodian i think it makes sense the most elite might have a trump card.
Your take on the controversity is great, wise words which should reach people who are in positions for the decitions.
Not really he side stepped the issue to complain about a tot as l hypothetical. In fallacy terms he was arguing with a straw man.
Comment section be like "Female custodes is a minor change." yah, it always starts with a minor one. People be acting like they don't see the pattern and trend lately.
AFter this "minor" change... what's next? Brothers in the Adepta Sororitas? A man in the Sisters of silence?
A Woman Ork? Female Emperor?
I've never seen your Chanel before, but the last 8 minutes of this video made me subscribe. I 100% agree with you.
And remember folks. There were never female custodes to begin with. Just keep spreading the word and reaffirm that there are only male custodes. End of story
Definitely 💯💯💯
A female Custodes feels as wrong as having a brother of silence.
it's not a hobby that was originally aimed at women.. it was aimed for male society.. men and women are allowed/deserve to have different likes and their own stories. especially in the historical precedent of war!
Rosie the Riveter would like to have a word with you about gender norms in wartime.
I'm sure you people would love to backslide and go back to a time where people knew their place.
And your place obviously being on top of society "again". Sorry that more and more women are getting into Warhammer I guess.

The sigmarxists aren’t gonna be happy with you about this.
Wokehammer is already represented by Slaanesh. Slaanesh wrote the LGBTQ codex. There are even Toy figurines that model Trans people in a Slaanesh army. Progressive people need to channel their creativity into Slaanesh where all of their imaginations can have a toy model and nobody would complain. AND, with enough progressive writing, even Slaanesh can join the Imperium.
Dude right. If they want to be trans then Slaanesh is where their representation is. That’s how that is “represented” in universe. But GW has to now for diversity quotas due to being partly owned by Blackrock now
Go woke go broke in the gaming industry. Can't please everyone.
