    No, because it goes against the setting rules that have been established since 2ed and it would be a bit of a stretch to change it. I would, however, be perfectly okay with a full reboot of the universe, badly needed in my opinion, that includes female space marines to begin with.

          I wanted to get into LARP, so went to create a character and the logo of the event had the LGBT flag in it. I thought might be something like faction colors, so asked in the community chat what it was, they said it was the flag because they believe in inclusivity, I thanked them for the info and said the game isn't for me so not going to spend the money, they demonized me and then banned me. I did this in an alt account, so I got to watch them seething on my main.
          Not interested in giving my money to people who encourage it. You can be inclusive but not promote it. Paying to go to an event to be around circlejerks of trans sounds like hell. It's a shame, because they took over all LARP events and it's the only thing I'd like to do that involves socialization.

                If you mix them you lose the thematic connection to IRL history and they become just Aliens' marines with power armour. And there's already a faction for very human and mixed gender soldiers: the imperial guard.

                Asking for female marines is missing the point. Ask for more Sisters' diversity, or more mixing of Custodes/Sisters of Silence in the game and the lore instead. That would make more sense and still be 40k

        I would, unless it was religious over scientific. Something like a eucharistic ritual where a Living Saint bleeds into a chalice that all the chosen sisters drink from to transubstantiate themselves into primaris!Sisters. I still wouldn't like it because it feels lazy as frick, but at least they'd retain the flavor of the faction that way.

        Anon they're coming out the other end a man that's the point. See the fem marine conversation is dumb because how the process works is you take a kid, mod the hell out of them, and then basically replace their genetic structure with someone else's. There can be no female space marines cause the process of becoming a space marine makes a copy of a male super soldier, but that doesn't strictly exclude putting a female aspirants into the process. Combine the indoctrination with them already being a freak of nature or drugs to get this far and they'll be coming out the other end he/him.

        The sames true for race, if the white scars ever got there hands on a non space Mongolian kid, that kids coming out the other end Mongolian. Similarly the only space marine chapters that should be multiethnic are ones that have had to scavenge for gene seed in the past, particularly successor chapters and the like.

Alternatively if you wanted to safe guard against further shenanigans you could throw the wokescalds a bone with some "they had to be a man at heart" line. So now If GW ever tried to do a fem marine they'd be contradicting troony lore and pissing off them too

        Astartes organs were designed at the outset, to only work in male biology and physiology. This, while providing a better 'starting point' for such a transformation, also prevents the marines breeding and becoming utterly independent of humanity. The current method still makes them dependent on normal people for recruits, (unless they boink their chapter serfs successfully, but that's borderline impossible).
        Ten thousand years later, you're lucky to find a planet with the right genetic makeup, and the right environmental pressures, that the top 1% of fighting boys won't immediately seize and die on the operating table, much less try and make it work on a girl.

    I like 40K, even with the recent shit lore, as it's mostly ignorable.
    Female Space marines would ruin too many concepts via their introduction. The piss-take of the masculine power warrior fantasy, the existence of the Sisters of Battle, the position and relationship they hold to humanity.
    It would be an objectively poor lore choice, and I am not so bitter or cold as to get behind it for such a reason.

        No it wont't. It would be like making Little Women or Jane Austen novels with men: totally missing the point.
        40k Space Marines are about the male power fantasy AND the subversion of it via endless Lord of the Flies scenarios. It's unironically about male experiences taken to the most extreme cases.
        People who want marines with a pencil neck pretty girl head do not get it. There's a reason there's a real trope in 40k stories about women characters used to contrast their humanity with emotionally stunted marines.

            Sisters look like that (unfortunately IMO), and pretty girl marines is exactly what those people want.
            >That sounds incredibly sexist. And name one example.
            No is not. Normal men act normally i 40k stories, but space marines are not normal at all. Examples of those female characters are common: Euphrati Keeler, Ilya Ravallion, Octavia... even Sisters play this role sometimes as foil to SM. They're not the only ones, normal male characters are also used, but authors tend to use women to avoid books being even more of a sausage fests than they are.

            Yes it does. They no longer would be the Lord of the Flies child supersoldiers/monks of 40k. They would be generic sci fi warriors.
            There's a reason they were already gender segregated since the start along Sisters, while the Imperial guard has always been mixed gender.
            >Those books still have men in them.
            They're not the the protagonists or the real subject matter of those stories. A male version of these books would be nonsensical for the same reason. They're 100% women stories about women experiences. The same applies to SM in 40k.

            Exactly, as the female miniatures didnt sell and got rid of em, SM got flanderized into the biologically enhaced supersoldier they are nowadays.

            This is incorrect. You're misquoting the story about GW seeing FANTASY female warriors not selling well, so they never made female marines in the first place, just two (2) proto-sisters of battle minis with no faction rules that they sold as generic adventurers.

                Nothing about those has to exclude women.

                Yes it does, because gender segregation is the point. That's why I used Little Women or Jane Austen as opposite examples. Those are all stories from the unique PoV of one gender. Mixing them introduces interactions that turn them into other thing. In the case of marines, it would humanize them more, which is a bad thing.
                There would be also the loss of the medieval retrograde themes of 40k, with marines as monks and sisters as nuns. The later would be robbed of their unique themes and identity.

                If you want "female representation" in 40k, demand making Sisters more relevant and varied, or more imperial guard/xeno stories with women protagonists, not dilluting what makes marines unique and spoiling it for the people that likes them as they are. I'd rather see marines take a back seat in the setting than turning them into another generic space troopers faction.

          Space Marines are the exaggeration of a male character to the extreme. Monsters, heroes, it's all the same. They're heroes in the more realistic world than cliche cartoons.
          Trying to deny they're incredibly appealing as a model of maleness is just dishonest arguing.

          This ties to why femarines are such an abysmally stupid idea, it undercuts the very premise of marines as paragons and breaks power fantasy.

                I strongly disagree that preventing marines from being completely upended and rewritten for the sake of muh diverse representation is "a teeny weeny bit" or irrelevant. If it was irrelevant we wouldn't be circling back to this argument time and time again.

                Ironically, it's only space marines that are in a rocky place from a models standpoint and it's largely thanks to the whole primaris nonsense.

    No. I'd be okay with female ASPIRANTS, but the biological restructuring processes that convert them into a Space Marine also make the resultant Marine present as Male. Creating an Astartes requires a pre-pubescent individual as the starting block, so before Sexual Dimorphism is expressed within the Human genetic code - the resulting Marine would therefore experience 'Astartes' puberty rather then the Typical male or female variants.

    why do you want (not need) female space marines, exactly...
    >Adeptus Sororitus are literally female space marines...
    they are literally called "the sisters of battle", just like the Space marines are called "battle brothers". both are zealots worshipers of the god emperor. nothing is stopping you from playing them as a version of the same faction either
    >eldar are literally armies of just all highly skilled female alien-elven warriors.
    they are canonically in lore more skilled in squad on squad combat than space marines.
    if you want feminist armies here they are, just play/kitbash these fricking armies you homosexuals.

    >unironiclly KYS for this utter moronation... it's cringe beyond measure tying to force "new-wave" gender politics on a old/classic WG-TRPG
    Much less forcing this bullshit on a game focused on dystopian space-age regression & medieval-esque gothic grimdark stylization. Expecially when such a game is deeply ingrained in older generational nostalgia and made well over 30 years ago in an age when crybaby behavior would get you bullied & your teeth kicked in for being spoiled & entitled c**ts.

    I wouldn't be too bothered by it, but it would still be stupid for two different reasons that can boiled down to the same line: "Why even bother at that point?"
    In universe, it would be a bit silly to turn women into psuedo men just for a few extra space marines when you could have just used men to begin with and saved yourself some effort. Things would need to get significantly more desparate for that sort of thing to work. Like, the main Tyrannid force is finally here and they're even more numerous than the memes suggest kind of desperate.
    Out of universe, it would be dumb because the people who want female space marines wouldn't be happy, since they're identical to men, and the people who don't want female space marines wouldn't be happy, because female space marines exist.

    The thing is, female space marines have literally always been possible. What I mean by that is that this is a game setting, and there's nothing stopping you, if you wanted, to just say "this squad is wimmin". Gw aren't going to kick your door in and arrest you for going against the lore.

    I enjoy Warhammer because it lets me make cool models. And I like seeing other people's cool models. When people make cool looking lady space marines, I like it. When they make lameass female astartes, it sucks. It's all about the aesthetics.

    From a fluff point of view the cursed foundings were subject to so much geneseed experimentation that I have no objection to some Magos, in some corner of the galaxy, trying to make women into space marines. Fiddling with geneseed so it makes girls into superhuman killing machines is less strange than "oh we fricked up your geneseed so all you guys just burn endlessly" or "the psychic flaw caused by your Primarch's brutal death? we're fixing that in your DNA."

      >Fiddling with geneseed so it makes girls into superhuman killing machines is less strange than
      As a loregay, I agree that there's room for that without even need for retcons. The problem is the end result. As I've said, it wold break core themes of the setting. Like the Imperium becoming a parlamentary democracy or something.

      Stories like a coursed funding Chapter made of FtM marines hiding it from the inquisition, or a female chaos marine warband thanks to Slasnesh/Fabius could work. But the main SM and Sisters should be kept as they are.

          >masculine power warrior fantasy

          >would still be there
          No it wont't. It would be like making Little Women or Jane Austen novels with men: totally missing the point.
          40k Space Marines are about the male power fantasy AND the subversion of it via endless Lord of the Flies scenarios. It's unironically about male experiences taken to the most extreme cases.
          People who want marines with a pencil neck pretty girl head do not get it. There's a reason there's a real trope in 40k stories about women characters used to contrast their humanity with emotionally stunted marines.
          >ib4 muh representation
          SM are not really heroes, they're monsters or anti heroes at best. Trying to make them into aspirational figures is stupid and misses the point.

          and

          the making of war, soldier dehumanization, daddy issues, and brotherhood of SM are classic men issues and obssesions since the fricking Illiad, anon
          [...]
          Yes it does, because gender segregation is the point. That's why I used Little Women or Jane Austen as opposite examples. Those are all stories from the unique PoV of one gender. Mixing them introduces interactions that turn them into other thing. In the case of marines, it would humanize them more, which is a bad thing.
          There would be also the loss of the medieval retrograde themes of 40k, with marines as monks and sisters as nuns. The later would be robbed of their unique themes and identity.

          If you want "female representation" in 40k, demand making Sisters more relevant and varied, or more imperial guard/xeno stories with women protagonists, not dilluting what makes marines unique and spoiling it for the people that likes them as they are. I'd rather see marines take a back seat in the setting than turning them into another generic space troopers faction.

          It would also delete Sisters of Battle. The point of both factions is being gender segregated.
          If you want men and women fighting together, ask for more imperial guard, eldar, etc.

    No, because there's no point to changing it. It adds nothing, and it strips away the uniqueness of the Sisters of Battle, removes the marine ties to history as knightly orders of monks, and changes an established part of the lore.

    Worse, it becomes a case of 'men can't have something that is uniquely theirs, women must be added to it in the name of equality' disregarding cultural and religious norms in-universe and denying that men might have a unique perspective on something that women would interact with differently given their cultural, psychological and biological differences.

    Something being single gender only isn't necessarily a bad thing.
