Westerns that don't get weird about things?

I've been in the mood for a Western lately, but I'm cautious. The last one I read was years ago (I don't remember the name), but it got very conservative with the main character being a former Confederate soldier who demanded his wife submit to him and was pretty openly racist to the black characters he met (alongside the book in general just treating native American people as not people and just a plague that needs to be gotten rid of).

But any time I've searched for Westerns that aren't so conservative, I get books that are trying really hard to subvert the genre and focus on other things.

I'm not looking for a subversive book, I want a Western. Cowboys and gunslingers and shootouts in dusty old towns are cool. I'm looking for a book that plays those tropes straight without a lot of weird sexist or racist stuff in it.

Anyone playing WoW?

I'd love to have some people to play WoW with, especially people in Alaska who might live nearby. It'd be good to have more local friends to play with.

Renegade Krakens?

I know there isn't a whole lot of lore out there about this chapter, but I was wondering if there was any lore about Dark Krakens who have fallen to chaos? Are there any warbands of former Dark Krakens? I think the idea of space marines who went too deep into the ocean and found something that turned them to chaos is really cool.

Thought I'd share a few Krakens I've had sitting around

I discovered this sub recently and figured I'd share what I have. Do these battle brothers look worthy to fight for the chapter?

Are there ocean based maiden worlds?

I feel like I don't really mesh with any factions in 40k very well. None of the vibes really for for me. I really love the Idoneth in AoS. Lots of weird sea creatures are awesome and I love all the details on them.

Recently, I've learned about Exodites and it got me thinking: are there ocean maiden worlds? Could there be a group of Exodites living on a giant ocean world who ride sharks and squids and stuff instead of dinosaurs?

29 [TF4T] Alaska/Online - Nerdy and looking to find someone to share life with

Hi there! I'm Kelsey. I'm a 29 year old trans woman in Alaska and I'm looking for my person.

For hobbies, I'll try to keep things short: I like tabletop games like DnD and Warhammer; I play video games with WoW being my favorite, but stuff like Oblivion and Mass Effect are fun too; I read a lot of books, mostly fantasy and horror; I'm an actress in my local Renaissance Fair where I love fighting with swords; I play the saxophone in a band.

As for my job, I'm a high school history teacher. I have my own home and I feel pretty secure in the life I have. I want to find someone who I can share this life with. I'm looking for someone who I can share some hobbies with, babble to, and just enjoy the mundane routine of the everyday with.
