No bigotry of any kind allowed. Making racist, sexist, trans-/homo-/queerphobic, otherwise demeaning and hateful comments is not ok. Disabilities and mental illnesses are not to be used as insults and should not be part of your comment unless speaking of your own or absolutely relevant.
No gatekeeping and being rude to people who don't agree with you. Leave “gamer” stereotypes out of your comment (e.g. sexless, neck bearded, teenaged, basement-dwelling, etc). Don't compare people to animals, or otherwise deny their humanity. Even if you think someone is the worst human on the planet, do not wish death or harm upon them.
No "justice porn". Posts regarding legal action and similar is allowed, but celebrating someone being harmed is not.

That's wishful thinking. The bigots were always going to lose their shit. Female space marines existed in Rogue Trader, so it's not "lore purity" driving the outrage and it never has been. Appealing to lore has only ever been a thing because the current lore happens to align with their preference.
Yeah, from the article it seems that the unofficial mandate of dudes only came from the higher ups at GW.
You got to start somewhere, might as well have the bigots freak out about a tweet, rather than when you release the actual lore in a game book or novel.
I don't want to contradict you, but...
That codex was already published last summer. So it has already been lore for a while now, even though the misogynerds only took notice when GW tweeted about it.
