Recently I’ve been considering learning about Warhammer 40k. I think the deep lore is cool and space marines are a neat concept. But apparently there’s this big issue about whether or not women can serve as space marines.

So I briefly looked into it and whether or not the issue is sexism based or lore based, and it seems to be somewhere in the middle, but definitely meta perpetuated by casual sexism. It feels very much like this comic.

Also feels like seeing an interesting box, looking in excitedly, realizing what’s inside and having my enthusiasm sucked out of the airlock, and just… Letting the box lid close and then walk away.
