No Girls Allowed

The Emperor’s Sulky No-Girls-Allowed Fort

The Emperor in His No-Girls-Allowed Fortress

This hilariously drawn Warhammer meme shows the Emperor of Mankind sulking behind a makeshift fortress of pillows or sandbags, surrounded by unmistakable golden Aquila wings. His tired, deadpan expression contrasts sharply with the childish absurdity of the scene. Taped to the front of his little stronghold is a sign that originally read “NO GIRLS ALLOWED,” but the “NO” has been scribbled out in red marker, adding to the pouting tone of the comic. The whole scene reads like something straight from a grade-school clubhouse war, with the most powerful being in the galaxy acting like a moody, stubborn teenager. It’s a perfect parody of the Emperor’s canonical aloofness and authority, but spun through the lens of satire. The minimal background and bright, exaggerated colors make the scene even more ridiculous in the best way.

A Meta Jab at the Lore

This meme takes a playful jab at the long-standing absence of female Space Marines in Warhammer 40k lore, turning the Emperor into a passive-aggressive gatekeeper. By portraying him hiding behind a juvenile “no girls” sign, the artist pokes fun at the often-debated in-universe and real-world discussions around gender exclusivity in the Imperium’s military forces. The visual style, reminiscent of MS Paint or early webcomics, adds to the meme’s low-effort charm and meme-worthy impact. The Emperor’s sulky face communicates the punchline without needing a single word of dialogue. In just one panel, the image mocks grimdark seriousness by reducing it to playground politics. It’s silly, self-aware, and definitely heretical—in the best way possible.
