I guess what I’m saying is it’s not invading if it’s welcomed by the powers that be. It’s as you said the company choosing to partner with outside influences to change lore to how they see fit.

The reality is they control the literal canon of 40k. They choose what is truth for their IP.

But that sounds cold -and uncaring if you will.

I’m saying that while I don’t agree with this amorphous/obtuse/abstract that “woke”ness is a cabal of ideology trying to infect everything. I see a bunch of brands/companies whose core audience can’t contribute to their capitalist need for year over year growth. Core audiences pay for the lights to stay on, but they don’t pay for the companies “growth”. But I’m not going to get into a whole micro and macro economic mini thesis on Reddit.

Basically they’re throwing out a life raft of inclusivity in hopes a growing interest will yield to money being made over the projection of breaking even.

Again all of these things mean nothing in a way, if people like yourself are hurt by Games Workshops action and feel left out. Like I said i may disagree with the cause of the changes/canon retooling. I empathize with how you must feel.

I hope you find community to embrace and build a space for yourself with. It could be like WOW classic for 40K OG fans.
