I actually saw a decent amount of left wing thought coming out of mensrights, honestly. I think the presumption you’re making is that feminism is the truest form of left-wing thought, and it’s not, and is frequently in opposition to leftism while claiming righteousness for itself.

No, I pointed out the sub was promoting right wing views and got banned.

You should post more on here, since reddit is unabashedly anti-male. There’s more good to be done growing other platforms, bluntly.

Right but that wasn’t its original intention, before feminists got ahold of it. I generally lead those conversations with “simping is an example of toxic masculinity.” Cue reeeing from feminists, but w/e

Yeah, that’s why I only bring up toxic masculinity in a group of other men where I can explain what I’m talking about. The general perception is it’s just something to blame men for.

Exactly. And it’s funny how much it makes unironic Imperium stans rage out; it shows that for them it’s not about the righteousness of the cause, it’s about identifying with the faction that’s coded as conservative-Christian.

I heard they were making this free now but were going to charge for it later?

Right, and Battletech has an even more male-dominated fanbase than 40k.

The calls for female space marines, again, seem to be primarily by men uncomfortable with their own maleness.

What miniatures game do you know of that has more female players because it has more female miniatures in it?

Other miniatures games (Infinity etc) have near-parity in male and female sculpts and don’t have massively more female players playing them. Female warhammer players generally don’t feel comfortable with the militarized aesthetic of Space Marines, regardless of whether the person inside the power armor is a woman or not. To make them more comfortable in the hobby, focus more on Tyranids, Eldar, and demons.

The majority of the FSM crowd is men uncomfortable with their maleness, however, and that needs to be addressed.

Eh, in my experience the people arguing for female space marines tend to be the types that think that the Imperium is emphatically the good guys, they literally want diverse oppressors because they think that when women do it, it’s not oppression.
