Context
Warhammer is a sci-fi/fantasy tabletop war game franchise developed by Games Workshop (GSW). The lore features different alien (called xeno) factions and a dozen human factions with deep lore set in a hopeless and dark universe. For a very long time the lore has been dominated by male characters.
In the lore, the Adeptus Custodes is an elite human faction of super-soldiers genetically engineered and trained by the Emperor of Mankind himself to serve as his personal guard. Until recently, this faction has only ever been seen as male in the lore, however the recently released Codex from GWS confirmed the presence of women among the ranks of the Adeptus Custodes. This development has caused a rift in the Warhammer community. These tensions and arguments seem to have broken out into full war between /r/HorusGalaxy and /r/AdeptusCustodes.
Inciting Incident
GWS released a new animation called Tithes which prominently features a female Custode. Users of /r/HorusGalaxy lost their shit and immediately started brigading in /r/AdeptusCustodes. What started as mouth-breathers crying over "wokeness in muh MAN hobby!" soon became targeted harassment of a trans mod on /r/AdeptusCustodes. The mod has since quit the subreddit due to the harassment and claims of threats made against her. Users of /r/HorusGalaxy are unsatisfied, demanding evidence of the threats and doubling down on the harassment. The drama is spread out over multiple posts and between both subreddits so I have selected a few pieces of popcorn to share.
Popcorn
Both sides guys! Both siiiiiiides!
Woman in my hobby is Neo-Marxism!
Just some casual transphobia sprinkled in there
I've only included a small sampling of the available popcorn. /r/HorusGalaxy is basically /r/TheDonald but for Warhammer, and I'd rather keep my time there brief lest I catch the cringe. I invite any who can stomach it to dig in, there's plenty of popcorn to share.

They want to bring foids down to their level.
If they make all foids in media manly like this then maybe people will start considering them normal.

I would
argue that's very literally 
what drag is (in the sense that somebody who's not a woman 
dresses like an exaggerated stereotype of one for laughs), yet liberals somehow decided drag was good with them.
