What an abominable thread.

In any event... it's always good for a lark to see people whine about "SJWs" and their influence on Star Wars. Hey bro, you're into a franchise predicated on a diverse group of oppressed, downtrodden Rebels who are resisting an overtly white, male, military regime that drew its inspiration from the Nazis. The Jedi are literally social justice warriors... what on earth do you imagine you've been watching for 40 years???

Good grief.

Beautiful!

Because diversity should be standard.

Yeah female gamers can have female troopers, only if they purchase the trooper exp + the female trooper extra exp pack. Yeah that helps. [/sarcasm]

In all seriousness though, I hope alt sculpts of male/female/alien become available quickly. So I could run a rebel army of all females just to piss half these guys off.

Yep, facing a bunch of female troopers in a tabletop game would sure be upsetting.... said almost nobody in this century.

Diversity is always standard, because each human being has a unique story.

Common sense should be standard...

The ONLY exception to this would be if it was inaccurate to have female figures. Like a Napoleonic War setting for instance.

There were next to no females fighting on frontlines during these times, so it would be slightly upsetting to see female infantry if the miniatures game was advertising historical accuracy.

You want to know something funny? When I first realized that the female rifleman had her hair resting on her backpack, my Army reflex kicked in and all I could think was "Its going to suck when that gets caught in her gear".

I guess they wanted to make it more clear that she was female since most of the chest and face are covered up by the rifle, but there's a reason most female soldiers put their hair up in a bun under the helmet.

Are you assuming its gender? I've seen dudes with long, luscious, flowing hair

For the people who say that women and aliens should be in separate packs, I will say the same thing I tell my 4 year old son: if you don't like onions on your pizza, pick them if and put them to the side. The rest of us like onions.

Only if you have enough options for both. Otherwise it would look pretty stupid if someone who doesn‘t like Duros play a few headless troopers instead.

For the record: I like onions.

"I rebel."

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away... I believe that females can be telepathic, telekinetic, empathic, future divining, lightning shooting, high jumping, and quick running space wizards who equip themselves with swords, ships, and guns that defy nature and physics as we understand them.

But you want me to believe they can ruck like a man? GET THAT SJW NONSENSE OUT OF MY IMPOSSIBLE SPACE OPERA!

vielen Dank meinen männern

...sorry that you are offended.... ...sorry that you feel the need to curse... ...only questioned that you stated "The rest of us like onions."; what proof burden that "the rest" is "us"... ...as most of my gamers want original movie in armys...

...sorry if my english is not the best... ...you cause fear with your cursing...

...with limited money, want to not be demanded to purchase items that did not see in the original movies... ...which if my desires have value to you; is what would enjoy best...

...sorry for my pore pun in ONIONS....as my family grew up on this delicious food...i have no hate on onion, just dislike onion breathing...

...sorry for your cursing...

vielen danke

Apologies that I get worked up over this sort of thing. But being married to a woman and having a daughter had made me realize that including women in gaming is something worth getting worked up over.

I don't mean to personally attack you.

As for original trilogy only, I assume you will not be using AT-RTs, hh-12 troopers, ion troopers, z6 troopers, scattergun troopers, t-47 ground buzzer, snowtrooper flamethrower or Vader's saber throw ability?

I have no dog in this fight, but the AX108 “Ground Buzzer” is actually the anti-personnel gun on the Falcon in ESB and the first ever Saber Throw was by Vader in RotJ

He did specify "original movies". No sabers thrown in the OT and no ground buzzers on T-47s.

Vader throws his lightsaber when Luke is on the catwalk(?) in the Emperor's throne room on the second Death Star in RotJ.

When I made it half a year ago it died a shameful death. But it was reborn. I wouldn’t be surprised if the misogynists continued raising their heads until the end of time.

Hyperventilating, stereotyping and throwing out the “M card” are scientifically proven to quickly force billions of competent people (legal term) to reach a perfect consensus on complex issues in 2018, and beyond.

I am at the Emerald City Comic Con right now, and many 1000s of wildly different people are getting along marvelously in the crowded and hectic center. We are looking to have fun, and focus on what we have in common. If we focused on differences and complained about this imperfect world, it would be a VERY different experience. But, thank God, 99.9% of the folks here are choosing grooviness over grumpiness.

#PeaceOut. (I now depart this thread).

God, this thread is a steaming pile of ****...

I think the burden of proof should be on YOU to give a reason that 50% of the REAL WORLD human population should not be represented in a game about magic space knights, outer space dogfights and furry snow lizards. As for aliens, why the **** wouldn't you want them? It's star wars, a sci fi universe filled with all manner of fantastic robots, aliens and weird humans.

I want women and aliens because they are a part of the star wars universe. If you want to cut standard star wars elements out of your army, then it is on YOU to buy extra packs so that you have enough troopers with male genitalia to form a squad.

Thank God FFG has already stated their position on this ridiculous subject MONTHS ago.

So lets assume we have about 50% human women in SW.

But in original trilogy there was not so many of them in rebel army.

There is less than 50% women in many places: mineing, construction sites, police, military. And if they are there, they are most likely to work in different workplaces.

Even communists who propagade gender "equality" use mostly men to army and other mentioned jobs.

Read some history about women in WW I, WW II, Vietnam war... Etc. Also partisan army were mostly males.

SW was created before all this SJW nonsens. Stop trying to put your agenda there!

There is no problem to me that women and aliens are in rebel army. But TO BE ACURATE, NOT PC there could be more men than women and more aliens than women.

And one more thing (example from some company i have work) for women standard was to carry 30kg by hands and 80kg on pallet jack, for men standard was 50kg and 460kg on pallet jack. Equality.

I think I’ll buy tons of squads, make them entirely female, give them sjw flags and then destroy them with a fully male army just for lols

Not all women support SJW.

You can support equality without being a SJW. Yes, historically militaries have been primarily male. In the current Star Wars canon, we see women composing a significant portion of both Imperial and Rebel militaries. Therefore it makes sense to include them in the base package.

Side note, I'm a little disappointed we didn't get more aliens in the Rebel ranks. Hopefully that changes in the future.

Please lock this thread. I haven't seen any new game-related discussion in some time. Every post is just a new reason for someone to hate someone else, that can't be good for the community!
