There's plenty Rule 34 female 40K content that would make Slaanesh blush

I think I'm in the middle with this one.
Pros: it'll annoy a load of sexist cunts I'd rather were annoyed and just fucked off out of Warhammer. Same pricks who don't get it's fucking ironic or Space Marines aren't goodies. Plus they keep seeming to be American or I guess just young. It would cheer up nice people.
Cons: I aesthetically don't get it. Marines are horrible genocidal child soldiers who are coded extremely male. They might as well walk around shouting "Semper Fi bru!". I don't really get how representation is advanced particularly without under cutting the conceit that Marines are fucking awful. Maybe I missed the boat on this and GW gave up on Marines being awful long ago. Like they'll inevitably fuck it and make it Imperial Only, so Chaos don't get em, and modern people being modern people the sexist army will be more the baddies, by default making Marines goodies.
Also due to hating Marines. It's yet more of GWs release cycle dedicated to fucking Marine miniatures. While some factions still have 2nd or 3rd edition miniatures knocking around. They can do diversity across the whole range and focus on the more fun and less shit factions of 40K.

I've seen the argument made that Space Marines, and by extension Custodes, are so far removed from baseline human genetics that they basically don't qualify as either male or female. So... the right-wing arseholes can take that, and shove it where they've never washed, I guess.

Given the size of Space Marine power armour (nevermind terminators) surely any womanly curves would be hidden beneath it all. Any boob cuirass would be purely for show and could be worn equally comfortably by either sex.

That's the kind of thing a stupid eight year old with racist parents would parrot to their teacher.

You're not wrong. They, the Tories, really are good at getting the brown people to do their racism for them. It's actually quite impressive.

I might be misremembering my history but isn’t the late C17th prime Atlantic slave trading and Americas colonising, Britannia wave-ruling times?

Is anyone arguing it's purely because of those things? As in the real world it's obviously a mix of things. I guess some people probably are saying it's purely one thing or the other.

The Met handling of these protests is an embarrassment. Not malicious just poor training and not enough support.
"Sorry sir no being Jewish in the city at the moment"
I can't imagine that being the case with a BNP March and any other ethnicity.
It also highlights the nature of these marches, which for lot is genuinely about Palestine but for others it's alterior motives.

I'm not sure its the city in general as the protests are in specific bits and it is counter protestors not just random people. But yeah it's shitty.

www.bbc.com/news/health-68923861Government's transgender obsession continues. None of these articles ever mention trans men. I assume this will ensure that trans men will be in women-only wards?

That article actually does mention trans-men. It says they "should not be housed on single-sex men's wards". But, yes, these stories normally do avoid mentioning trans-men, such as not mentioning whether a female patient can refuse treatment from a trans-man.
Not sure if this is a result of the Cass report or if this was coming anyway, but does feel like the only people celebrating the outcomes from that report and the general current trajectory of transgender rights are the gender critical groups (see the quote from Maya Forstater in the article).

Wish I could actually have an articulate response to this obnoxious transphobia, but all I can really manage is:
Fucking gender critical terf cunts and their hateful, harmful crusade against trans people. Fuck them all.

Incidentally I feel like I should share this particular bit from Helldivers 2:

I wonder if they've updated it, or I just missed it. I think you meant "should not be housed on single-sex male wards", at least that's what the article says now. But it means that people who look male are going to be put into women's wards, and I'm wondering how that's going to go down once it starts happening. The Cass report might not have been about this kind of stuff, but it's definitely enabled all the anti-trans groups.

That's true, it's just ... glaringly obvious, the difference between the report, the reporting of the report, and the policy decisions as a result of the reporting of the report.

I have also noticed this massive lack of comedy on tv. It's almost impossible to find.

He's kind of right for completely the wrong reasons. Everything is driven by money making algorithms these days. If a show doesn't get commissioned, its because data shows it won't turn a profit. Businesses don't take chances on things because of money, not because they are 'woke'. Get a new dictionary, Jerry. Your problem is with capitalism.

What's with all the things on TV now? You have hundreds of channels and you hop from one to the next one and there's nothing on them any more!

Also doesn't really hold up when you look at his former partner in Larry David offending everyone and everything in Curb Your Enthusiasm. Or some of the stuff Julia Louis-Dreyfus says in Veep.
On a somewhat related note, I notice there aren't really as many comedy movies as there were back in the day.
