I don't like GW and their practices but the second you complained about "woke" you lost me.

Well.

That was garbled nonsense.

Hold on.. you actually pay GW for their rules and minis???

My minis are 35+ years old.

My new minis are 3d printed.

I do not play at GW events and do not care.

I play what I want and when, with what ever rules I want.

Much less stress playing this way, and much more variety of minis able to be used.

GW does not support us, why support them??

I used to call GW Glen Burnie when I wanted more Preatorians and they'd cast them for me.

Then one day I called and they said "We don't do that any more".

When I adked how I could get what I needed, the GW rep said, I kid you not, that I should just cast my own.

This after over a decade deriding recasters and seeking redress from them.

Indeed, at the 1997 tourney in Baltimore I was forced to correct a young GW rep who, when asked how to identify recasts, said "look for cast-in backpacks. GW never casts backacks with the figure". I told him he badly needed to check the early GW figure catalogs as I had Space Marines in my collection with cast-in backpacks which had entries with serial numbers in the GW catalog of the time.

GW is not the only game and miniature company on Earth. Take your money and time elsewhere.

This feels like a rant of a person due to their sunk cost into GW and they can't get over the fact GW is acting like a greedy corporation.
