games have always been “inclusive” … (a word that makes me wanna puke tbh).
It usually indicates that a setting gets molested in the name of ‘modern morals’ as opposed to finding a way that makes things feel like a natural part of the setting.

A game set in the American civil war is going to have to deal with the fact that slaves were a fact of life in that era.
Same thing with the golden era of pirates.  Some really dark things were happening. A game dealing with such subjects is going to have to address them and when done right it ought to make people feel as uncomfortable as they should be.

It’s the clubs and gatherings that can make you feel like you are a peasant intruding in a private gathering of the local elite.

Part of that may simply be socially inept folk trying to be a club, and the rest simply being too impatient to want to help new players with the game.

Heck … a while a go we had a new discord member ask for help because his girl friend was going to have a game with someone who at that local club was nick named a ‘seal clubber’.

I’m glad I’ve never seen such grade A a-holes in real life.

OTOH … I’ve been to boardgame events that had a few demo tables for wargames. And that often felt like people having their private games in public and less like fans promoting their hobby to the uninitiated.

One doesn’t have to tell me that talking to strangers is hard, but when you are at a public event showing off your hobby/game you need to master that fear. It also helps to have models on hand that you can let strangers interact with …

So … back to GW.
The worst sin that they have committed isn’t the inclusion of female space marines.
It’s the simple fact that they have made them to be ‘good guys’ somewhere after the release of the original Rogue Trader.
There is nothing ‘good’ about a bunch of genetically engineered warriors who rule planets with an iron fist and use the inhabitants as test subjects or make them believe they are gods. And yet that’s what these ‘good guys’ do.
