So here's the deal: Space Marines, in Warhammer, are male exclusive. Gotta have a penis to be able to lose your sex drive I guess.

Now there are a LOT of people who want to play Space Marines. Some of them want Space Marines to LOOK LIKE THEM. (They're also all white.)

Cue the arguments against: "the setting said so" - circular reasoning. "it's silly" - dismissal. "who cares" - a blatant "you don't matter."

Every defense of the status quo boils down to really shitty and toxic excuses as opposed to actual reasoning. So what the hell?

Simply put: GW decided to make Space Marines male. They did it because they feel, openly, self-admitted, that it's a male-exclusive hobby.

I can go into a quarterly investment report for 2014 and find the quote telling you they consider it a boy's club. They really feel this.

And that is PRECISELY the audience they have attracted; people who agree with that or, at least, are willing to excuse status quo.
