beefyminotour

Ironic that you used midwinter minis, a man who cheated on his wife and lefter a single mom with twins, to then say they don’t cheat. If intentional very well played if not still funny.


beskar-mode

Oh. I just googled warhammer youtubers God damn that's awful


beefyminotour

Yeah no one really talked about it much because people in the community didn’t want to start shit but I think when someone does something like that their shit should burn down.


MediumSwing

His ex didn't want to be involved in an internet shitstorm so she urged people to not talk about it. The people who supported her thusly stayed quiet and the rest just kept gaslighting themselves into believing he did it for a good reason.


Specialist_Tin-Can

"Cheating" for a good reason? 🤣


egyeager

Yeah I don't watch him any more. Even worse when he has his assistant on there, the one he cheated on his wife with


Tupiekit

Yeah I stopped watching after that. It just felt very sleezy.


KharonsTwoCents

Certified womp womp moment right there.


UndeadSailor

I had no idea that happened


vincecarterskneecart

man fuck that guy


Moreu_you_know

MwM is generaly an asshole


angeredtsuzuki

Yep 100%. As soon as I heard about that, I blocked that jerk's videos from ever popping up again. There are much better youtubers than him anyway.  Miscast Miniatures, Eric's Hobby Workshop, Warboss Fitz, Goobertown, just to name a few. 


gashmiltz

Hey, i looked it up and didn't find a good explanation of what happened? Do you have a source? I just what to know what happend.


beefyminotour

https://www.reddit.com/r/MidwinterMinis/s/t6haRrSjWw This is as close I can get. If you got on their patron or maybe an archive of it there are more details. Honestly they did a good job of not having drama but I don’t know. I’m fine if someone says something unsavory in private or even hold views I find abhorrent but as long as they don’t do anything hurtful then whatever. But it’s kinda gross to have a dude split with his wife and immediately get someone new is pretty gross but maybe it’s because I’ve been going through the other side of that lately.


gashmiltz

Fuck, I was hoping I misunderstood something. Like, im sure there is a lot of context we don't know, but still.


beefyminotour

Yeah it was pretty taboo at the time because the depp thing just happened but was talked about because of his bolt action video.


TheUltraNoob

The “if you play German in historical wargames you’re a nazi” video, that caused some good backlash.


beefyminotour

Yeah that’s when I learned about it since it’s a pretty dick thing to say and it made me unsubscribe. Like what if I play the USA I love the idea of internment camps and firebombing cities. Or if you play Soviets you can’t also say you don’t like the rape of Europe. War is fascinating but any rational person can be captivated by a nations military and not endorse their every idea and policy.


TheUltraNoob

Yea him and his cheating partner dropped the ball on that one. I’ve never liked the guy to be fair. He is also popular in that one insufferable warhammer subreddit(I will not name it, even though that doesn’t even narrow it down).


very_Sad_Dinosaur013

WAIT HE DID WHAT. New they got a divorce but this is news to me what the hell


SigmarVult

Wtf? That's awful. I didn't know about that.


Dauntless41

I first found out about this when "Guy"(the asshole in guestion) said "i have the kids this weekend" in one of videos, which prompted me to furiously search through reddit to find out that he left his girlfriend who he had twins with for his new assistant. I believe he kept it as hush hush as possible as most of his patreon supporters came from his announcement that he was having twins. If your reading this Guy, im a 17 year old american who used to watch your content, sincerlly go fuck yourself mate. You are a role model to no one especially to you children.


Un111KnoWn

got a clip?


PoultryBird

Wait what!!!


beefyminotour

It was a big deal that she and him wanted to keep it quiet. He shot that in the foot by kicking up a big controversy by suggesting that if you play Germans in bolt action you were morally questionable. It’s been pretty hard to find details nowadays but kick around some subreddits or forums and someone’s memory will be jogged especially if they were a patron at the time since that’s where they spilled the beans.


Long-Ad8374

Say what you want about painting models but it is a very peaceful/calming activity when i was doing it in my college years. Recommended for those with anxiety or depression issue.


beskar-mode

It looks it! I don't have the patience for all the small pieces, but my fiance can do it for hours


GopnikSmegmaBBQSauce

Ever check out /r/gunpla? You don't need glue and the engineering is amazing. You don't have to paint them necessarily either. They also have dinosaurs, pokemon... I'm barely an anime fan and love building these guys. Takes me back to being a kid building tanks and battleships and stuff. The hobby has come a long way


beskar-mode

I'll check it out thanks! He bought me a lord of the rings set to paint, but I've not put it together lol


Aggravating-Milk5688

That's a really good place to start, have fun with it!


DivineCyb333

It is cool about gundam kits how you can put exactly how much effort into them as you want... straight build out of the box, panel line, decals... or just go completely sicko mode with a full custom kitbash


mochi_chan

Wait, this starter pack is your fiance? this makes it so funny. Also he is very much like most of the Warhammer guys I know except for the long hair (some of them have no hair at all, but the beard is on point)


Qasatqo

I wish it was calming for me. I have anxiety and painting minis gives me panic attacks as I obsess over every detail.


Long-Ad8374

do you 'force' yourself doing this hobbies?


Qasatqo

Oh yes. I feel like it's my "obligation" of some sort, so I usually just procrastinate and do nothing.


Long-Ad8374

okay


GopnikSmegmaBBQSauce

Don't forget, Graham Norton made fun of Henry Cavill for liking Warhammer and Tom Holland called Henry up to go wargame sometime as a result. So... I wish I looked like Henry Cavill is my point I guess...

nazurinn13

Those don't have girlfriends


Aggravating-Milk5688

If you see a nazi-warhammer poster you can shut him down by asking to post his miniatures. These people very rarely play the game, as you need cash, dedication and friends to participate in the hobby. Modern day nazis are overwhelmingly unemployed, 0 motivation shut ins.


mclarenrider

This is 100% accurate. People like that in general aren't part of the communities they claim to care about or defend from "the wokes" it's all astroturfed and disingenuous. I personally know nothing about warhammer/dnd type things but I know people that are mega into and I've yet to see a rightoid in those communities. They instead spend time on twitter larping as knights and how they'll "slaughter the degenerates" or whatever. This was basically how gamergate happened.


TheUltraNoob

You can add tankies to the list they found the hobby as well.


El_Chavito_Loco

You forgot broke too


StrangersWithAndi

Or they're physically violent with the emotional capacity of a toddler. I'd never date one again after spending time with one and meeting his Warhammer friends. A lot of women-haters in that crowd, for sure.


Cyber-Cafe

The warhammer crowd is made up of either the absolutely most normal dudes, or guys who make being an unlikable incel a sport. There is no middle.


False-Vegetable-1866

And alot of the 'normal dudes' are secret incels


GopnikSmegmaBBQSauce

That's what happens when your narcissism takes over and to cope you blame everyone else for your shortcomings with women instead of maybe taking a harder look at yourself and why you're failing. It's sad that this is way more common than its ever been


Jub_Jub710

My Warhammer ex refused to have sex with me until I painted so many of his Necron warriors. He also threw miniatures at me. My best friend made a small fortune selling his old set up to him. My experience with Warhammer guys has not been positive, lol.


GopnikSmegmaBBQSauce

Damn, I would trade any hobby, gaming or sportswatching time for sex, what's wrong w people? You can always pick up where you left off or PVR the game


mclarenrider

Some people just don't have emotional maturity that's all.


GopnikSmegmaBBQSauce

I've always said you never really leave high school


BulkUpTank

While I have heard that a lot of nerd boyfriends are like this in the Warhammer space, the recent "controversy" about the one faction now having lady characters after a one sentence blurb out of an entire mini novel makes the rest of the players look like incels.


cyke_out

Grifters are gonna grift. A few weeks ago, they were mad about x-men, or star wars/star trek, or any other thing they know very little about and just using it to generate hate and clicks.


GopnikSmegmaBBQSauce

Nerds on the internet are never happy anyway. Everything new makes them miserable, the same old thing also makes them miserable, you can never win


strider_hearyou

Audience scores for X-Men '97 and Fallout say different. Hopefully Cavill's Warhammer series turns out good too. Number one mistake creators tend to make is failing to respect the source material. There will always be a small group of incels who try to make everybody else as miserable as they are, though, which usually involves attacking anything/everything for being too inclusive.


GopnikSmegmaBBQSauce

Didn't they come out w Sisters of Battle as a faction like over 20 years ago in 40k? Not to mention the plethora of female models, individual heroes, etc. haven't played since 2000 so I'm sure I'm mixing something up here


BulkUpTank

Apparently it's the faction known as the Custodians that they're upset over. You're right, there are plenty of women fighters in this universe, so I have no idea why they're so mad that this faction of armored, helmet wearing juggernauts might have women if they all look the same without taking off their helmets or armor.


jack-K-

It’s not about women being soldiers in general, there are plenty of them, this was about them being part of a specific adepta, the adeptus custodes, (very elite group of genetically modified warriors) which was definitely a retconn, I think what really pissed people off though was when GW tried to gaslight their player base saying “there have always been female custodes” when everyone knows that this is a recent retcon. It’s not the first time they just arbitrarily change things and expect everyone to go along with it and that tends to piss people off, regardless of what it is.


Tisarwat

✨✨ That's not what gaslighting means ✨✨


jack-K-

Okay, then please explain how after making a change, telling your fanbase there was no change and it has always been this way is not the literal definition of gaslighting.


Tisarwat

Well, gaslighting is a tactic within, and a symptom of, an abusive relationship. * You are not in an abusive relationship with Games Workshop. It is typically a pattern of sustained behaviour, not a single instance. It is intended to illicit a lack of self-confidence and self-esteem in the victim, as well as anxiety and possibly depression. It makes the victim more open to other forms of abuse, especially in their willingness to reject their own experience and accept the abuser's justifications. * Do literally any of these apply to you and Games Workshop?


jack-K-

lol no, gas lighting is not limited to people in relationships, where did you even read that? because it’s not in any of the official definitions. What you’re describing is a specific but common instance of ways people utilize gaslighting, but that does not mean the *only* form of gaslighting, doing something and then acting like nothing ever happened is one of the most basic and fundamental examples of what gaslighting is. China gaslights its citizens on Tiananmen Square for example. The intended result here, like what you described and what China does is to make people question there own memory and accept what they say, “there have always been female custodians” it doesn’t need to be this deep or treacherous thing, it can be as simple as that.


TheBigKuhio

40k does a far amount of Retconning, like with the Tau backstory and the Votaan backstory… and I think there were a few characters that “died” but then not really… etc etc.


Lithorex

*points at the Necrons*


TrueNorthFGC

It's too bad the entire reaction movement has been co-opted by some massive incel-level misogyny and right wing crazy. I had to stop following several subreddits because every other post was a thinly veiled attack on """""woke""""" or inclusion of any kind. Real bad look. Thankfully most people do not give a shit outside of terminally online spaces.


GopnikSmegmaBBQSauce

Honestly, that just sounds like these people need to dial it back a bit. If you get that upset over something like that then god help you in the real world


jonathan_the_slow

As a Warhammer fan, we do not have a shortage of crazy women hating pieces of shit in our hobby. However, the average Warhammer fan is a pretty awesome guy. Some of the best, nicest, most awesome people I know were encountered through Warhammer.


Tisarwat

How are you for crazy women, who hate pieces of shit?


JonesinforJohnnies

This is true of a lot of sci-fi hobby fandoms. The Gundam fanbase ranges from the gayest person you know to literal nazis. So when the most recent entry featured a canonically lesbian couple as the main characters the entire fanbase went insane for very different reasons lol.


Rhodehouse93

Unfortunately we’ve become another battleground for culture war grifters. The folks I know and play with IRL are all chill but there’s a whole cottage industry of sad assholes making hours long YouTube videos about “woman bad” tm.


Tupiekit

You have to keep in mind that is a very very vocal minority. If you went to the subs that was happening on it was overwhelmingly positive….the faction it happened to r/adeptuscustodes was very supportive of it as well.


zilog808

Lol i wish my warhammer ex was a domestic abuser and eventually became self-identified "misogynist" and nazi Painting minis is a cool hobby tho aside from that lol


sugarandbees

The way I loved this because it described my partner to a T, and then I read the comments. 😭 So sorry to those who didn’t have this experience. Do you play as well OP? I enjoy building my tyranids but I’m still building patience for a full game. Kill Team is more my speed.


beskar-mode

Me too I was so shocked!! All the warhammer guys I know are the sweetest. Maybe I'm just lucky? I don't play myself no, but I'm sure you'll get there! I have a LOTR set he bought me but it's not fully built yet

TheBigKuhio

I got into Warhammer because of my friends in highschool and it probably forever changed the trajectory of my life. I like playing the game but man it’s a little odd to explain to people that you paint and play with tiny plastic space men.


Dependent_Area_1671

My mate at school tried to get me into it. He tried convincing me that the starter set was £5 (it was £50… the price gun needed new ink pad) I was already into model railways. Significant collection of my own, plus my dad's stuff. Another classmate was into that, plus a really cool layout. If I had money to spare it would go on that. Plus, I could see the trajectory of Warhammer as a hobby. Dunno - I already understood trainspotters were not cool and had no intention of joining in. I got trainspotting vibes from walking into Games Workshop


giulianosse

Might secretly be a fascism sympathizer and/or misogynist depending on how much they *actually* understand the grimdark lore and not miss its point.

Given the thematic nature warhammer, it attracts a certain group of individuals that gravitate towards authoritarianism and view the fantasy setting as being applicable to the real world.

Also, there is a good chance of being possessive, former incel. If not a good guy (am sure many are good guys). I remember there being a female player when I was into Warhammer, most the guys were really odd about them, wither crude or assuming they were lesbians but none treated her as a fellow player.
