e) If it really is that big a deal to you, maybe just don't put the girl heads on your Custodes models? Boom, your sausage-fest is intact! But how do we know which helmets are male and which helmets are female? I suppose the male helmets could be purple... Filth! Filthy filth! I’ve put my bill through my foot and sent my iPad to GW.

b) Some of the lore has been pretty damn wanky. Don't see anyone moaning that Inquisitor Sherlock Obiwan Clousseau doesn't appear to be around any more. I miss Obiwan Sherlock Clouseau.

Come on, lots of misogynists don't have problems having sex. But many of them do, and for many of them their misogyny is a direct result of their anger at not having the sex they feel entitled to. If they felt entitled to sex, weren't they misogynistic in the first place?

If you want to nitpick about whether "misogynistic" includes vague subconscious feelings instead of only concrete beliefs then maybe so. But they don't start as fully formed incels with conscious misogynistic beliefs. It starts with frustration and disappointment at their lack of success, the vague sense that everyone decent should be able to find success in dating becomes a more concrete belief that they deserve success, and then they start down the frustration to incel pipeline where their echo chamber tells them it isn't their fault they failed, it's women not giving them what they're entitled to. And that lack of sex remains central to their misogyny. All of the complaints they have about women are framed in terms of how those perceived offenses are an obstacle to the incel having sex. For example, the comment that started this tangent about men needing all-male spaces (and keeping 40k one): it isn't about actually enjoying the company of men, it's about the idea that men are oppressed by women taking away their ability to have sex and are the real victims in society.

Also, the whole thing about retcons is reminding me of gamergate and all the people who suddenly "discovered" the shocking fact that game publishers buy good reviews from game journalists.

The buying reviews thing has been going on as long as there have been games and journalists. Remember some controversy around 1990 with some of the game mags in the UK (which were a big deal back then) and one of the Sega magazines giving suspiciously high scores to crap games (including Rise of the Robots, which despite looking lovely at the time was an absolute stinker), and being called out on it by their rivals. Completely agree on the other comment above as well peregrine - I would also add that I think the online/social media environment is definitely not helping these days and is I think resulting in a much larger group of women-hating misanthropes. Pre-social media, being rebuffed by someone of the opposite sex would usually (after some massaging of ego) result in a realisation that no-one is 'entitled' to a relationship and the most healthy are those that are a meeting of equals. But there is a whole subset of younger guys growing up that get rejected, go online and find Andrew Tate or similar.
