trying to get across that dragon age has a problem with lesbophobia sucks so much because you'll say "it kinda makes me uncomfortable that the two canon relationships between queer women in dao are explicitly abusive and predatory. also the game was absolutely made with men in mind and despite leliana being bisexual, she has a lot more romantic interactions/reactivity with a male character, and overall it just makes a kind of uncomfortable effect where it feels like the intention was Saving this poor abused women from her evil bitch ex with the power of your manly heroic ways" and people will just respond with "yay toxic yuri i loveeeee toxic yuri!!! also leliana is bisexual just romance her as a woman lmao" and completely ignore that you were talking about. like. the intention of the writers. and then you'll say "It sucks that sera is so mistreated by the game and ends up getting paired off with a side character she has no interactions with if you don't romance her" and they'll respond "that's just because she's unlikeable" and completely ignore that part of the reason she's so "unlikeable" is because a lot of people just genuinely do not like lesbians
I don't like Sera.
But her orientation is the last reason... No, it doesn't even matter, actually, it's out of the list of reasons why I don't like Sera. She's just this kind of character. Maybe the developers were too busy writing Solas and left some sidekicks incomplete. Blackwall is also somewhat 🤨
Maybe they overdid her, and she became irritating. Maybe she was meant to irritate people. At any rate, how is her personality defined by orientation?
Same with Lel. She's nice, okay, but... Could she stop being so enthusiastic about the Maker and his will? I'm Dalish! 😂
I romanced Zevran and Morrigan. Dude, those relationships are broken and sick too, stop pulling the blanket. It's just the way it happens with the people who've seen a lot of stuff.
Sometimes I really think people are too sensitive and see things that don't really exist, because they expect to see them. But the world is not an evil place. It's indifferent.
Can you imagine, most people don't care about other people's deviations. Well, that's how it is. Mostly. Just find the point of view you're comfortable with, and stop looking for piles of shit.
Dumbass qrbs like this only prove OP's point even more 🥀🥀🥀
Criticism is not "looking for piles of shit" when there's a clear pattern of how wlw relationships are written.
