As I understand it, if you eat enough Toblerone you'll taste like Toblerone.

Ha, this wouldn't end very well either:

"Thanks babe, that was ama-"
"You son-of-a-bitch, have you been eating my candy again?"

Dig deeper: "I thought that it was our candy?"

Wait.... We can go deeper: "At least I was thoughtful enough to give it back to you after I was done with it!"

Go get yourself some warheads.

Fuck Warheads. Toxic (Nuclear? one of the two) Waste is where it's at.

Can vouch for this, but only around 15 years ago. Back then, their weakest flavor was stronger than Warhead's lemon.

Everyone knows that a little oral sex will completely erase candy-related disappointment.

UNLESS IT'S ABOUT THE FUCKING TOBLERONE CHEAPASS CHANGE-

Toblerone size change, truly the greatest crisis of our era.

Concieving children will soon be forbidden by the new world order, and all citizens will be forcibly sterilized.

We shall abolish the orgasm. Our neurologists are at work upon it now. There will be no loyalty, except loyalty towards the GOP. There will be no love, except the love of the Nimble Navigator. There will be no laughter, except the laugh of triumph over a defeated enemy. There will be no art, no literature, no science. When we are omnipotent we shall have no more need of science. There will be no distinction between beauty and ugliness. There will be no curiosity, no enjoyment of the process of life. All competing pleasures will be destroyed. But always -- do not forget this, Eric -- always there will be the intoxication of power, constantly increasing and constantly growing subtler. Always, at every moment, there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless. If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face -- for eve

Easy there, J.H. Kellogg.

I'm told there's a significant uproar in the Warhammer 40k community about the concept of female space marines. There is a group that vocally does not want them. Only men can be space marines, because MACHISMO.

How is a woman wielding a heavy machine gun in one hand and a sword made of chainsaws in the other mowing down hordes of roaring orcs not flat-out awesome? In what way is this not literally the sexiest thing you can imagine as a hetero guy? Where did these men leave their penises? Do they remember how long ago it was that they lost them, and do they need help retracing their steps?

Wait, isn't that what the Sororitas was??? I thought the Sororitas -was- female space marines. I mean, they were hyper-Emprah, and wore power armor.

Space Marines = genetically modified supermen

Sororitas = normal women who kick just as much ass as the supermen

There are women in power armor carrying machine guns in one hand and chainswords in the other. They are called the Adeptus Sororitas, aka the Sisters of Battle. However, they are not "true" Space Marines as they lack the genetic and anatomic augmentation that "real" Space Marines get.

It's basically a lore issue: canonically only men can become Space Marines and even most of them would die during the process of becoming one. Folks who take the lore (too?) seriously will state categorically that female Space Marines are impossible and/or heretical. Others won't care as much.

It's worth noting that it is impossible for men to become Sisters of Battle, though for an entirely different lore reason: the SoB serve what is basically the Church, and the law forbids the Church from maintaining "men under arms". They get around that law by having female soldiers instead :V

[ArchAIngel]

Female Space Marines do probably exist, depending on how you define female.


I doubt many will look under the armor of a Slaaneshi Chaos Marine.

I don't know who you are, but I agree with everything you just said. We need to grab a drink some time, and then go wreck a zombie apocalypse with our respective women.

Just trying to put myself in the shoes of the anti-female-space-marine crowd...

Space Marines have always been all men. I don't remember if there was ever an in-universe reason for it although I'd bet there is. Suddenly having female marines and pretending that it's always been that way would be kinda dissonant. It'd be like suddenly giving Gordon Freeman full voice-acting; not directly contradicting anything, but against pretty long-established rules. The alternative would be advancing the universe of 40k in order to introduce a reason for female marines to exist, and I understand GW would rather self-destruct than advance the plot of 40k.

Either retcon or new canon, there's a problem: because it's about gender, it will feel contrived at this stage of the game. It'll feel like a choice made so that the game could stay relevant, rather than because whoever writes 40k lore genuinely decided to add it. I wouldn't call it pandering, but it feels artificial and game-y. Like breaking the 4th wall on some weird meta level.

I don't give a damn about the lore of 40k, I just like the memes and videogames. I think female Space Marines would be cool too, all of what Dunamisdeos says applies. At the same time though I can understand why it would rub /tg/ grognards who've been playing tabletop 40k since the 80's the wrong way. I have no idea if what I said above is what they're actually saying, I just tried to put myself in their shoes.
