    The Space Marines in Space Marine 2 are Ultramarines, hailing from Ultramar, which consists of around 500 planets. It’s highly unlikely that the population of these 500 worlds would be entirely white—in fact, it’s almost impossible. Therefore, even if we stick to the lore, it makes sense that there would be Asian, and yes, Black, Ultramarines.

    Furthermore, considering the Imperium of Man is in a state of total war, it’s laughable to criticize the existence of women in positions of authority. You can bet they’re recruiting everyone they can, and—gasp—some of those recruits are going to be women. Some of them will naturally rise through the ranks.

    You can tell these criticisms come from people who don’t actually love the lore but just engage with it to push their xenophobic agenda. It’s ironic that the Imperium of Man a Totalitarian Nightmare is too “progressive” for modern chuds.

    Little Icing on top. The Emperor most likely isnt “white” at least not blonde and blue eyed since he is originally from Anatolia (yes Turky)

      Like, the books and video games have tons of high ranking women in positions of power in the Ecclesiarchy, Inquisition, Astra Militarum, Adeptes Custodes, planetary governors etc.

      Bunch of fake fans, probably don’t even know Commissar Cain’s infamous tryst with Inquisitor Amberley Vail smdh

          i like how she’s super badass, wearing all this armour on 90 percent of her body, wielding those massive guns and yet the artist still took the time to have her pose to push her boobs out, which are coincidentally the most highlighted part of her figure lmao

          they just can’t help themselves

          eta: i just looked a the full picture - i didnt realise she was wearing a mask, meaning her boobs are the ONLY exposed part of her lmfao

            It’s ridiculous, agreed.

            40k should be ridiculous and often the problem is paint-huffing fascist-come-lately toxic fans that want it to somehow be serious while also making the space fascists seem good.

              i mean, to me it very much looks like a corset/bodice/bodysuit, considering the lace goes right down to her crotch, but either way we’re now entering ‘she dresses horny because it makes her feel empowered’ territory of male-driven treatistry

                The books do mention her having a bodysuit that she wears underneath power armor before, so it’s probably supposed to be that. No excuse for the gratuitous cleavage beyond she wants to look sexy while shooting things angle though.
