Just to clarify..

I'm not sure if this image is okay to talk about it just seems to be very political.. So.... are we allowed to talk about it?

What do you guys think?

I think you could crop off the quote above it. And then have an opinion on the model, not the quote.

For example,

“I like this miniature. It is dynamic for a Guard model and I enjoy seeing women Guard models. I think the hat is too big, but some people like big hats so I get it.”

Non-political, expresses my opinion on the model, and things I like / dislike about it.


Edit: Regarding the thread you dug up from ONE YEAR AGO the politics ban occurred after that thread. Not immediately after... sometime in the summer maybe?

I think you're going to get banned on the grounds of sheer tediousness.

realism is a lie

Yes, you're allowed to talk about a new model release. I'm not really sure what you see as being 'political' about it, other than the fact that it's an Imperial Guard political officer.

It's hardly the first female model GW have released. Not even the first female Commissar, although arguably the first good one.

It hasn't been removed because there is no reason to remove it. It's from February last year (before the OT politics ban), and was a gaming-related topic. We 're not about to go back and retroactively delete every thread that touches on a political topic just because we banned discussion of politics in the Off-Topic section.


You're still trying to make a big issue out of something that simply isn't an issue. Stop it.

@OP

I explicitly instructed you not to start a third thread. You did so anyway and I suspended your account for two days for not following a moderator instruction.

You suspension ended and you immediately post a fourth thread (this one). Your account is now suspended for three days. This will continue until you either follow moderator instruction or can no longer participate here at all.

Just to add - while we try to be patient and hear people out, there are limits.

I've deleted the other duplicate threads you've made on this topic, and should you make more they will simply be permanently deleted.

You can always PM me or any other moderator to discuss... but you can't monopolize this section and ignore moderator instructions by just making the same thread over and over!

Any questions, seriously just PM me... Thanks
