🔥 Zevran 👀
his past with doing sex work under the crows heavily colors his feelings on sex as a whole, how he offers himself to the warden out of self-defense. he enjoys sex, but it’s important to remember that in the past he’s had sex because he was ordered to and/or because he, as an elf, was seen as desirable by humans and inherently sexualized and objectified due to that. he explicitly says that that’s why the crows like to recruit elves. there’s a lot of baggage tied to his relationship with sexuality. reducing him to a “slut” or a “whore” as a joke minimizes his character and also comes off as biphobic and anti-sex work.
also everyone who romanticizes the crows in vg needs to go back to origins and exhaust zevran’s dialogue again. a) it’s extremely unlikely that, as the game states, rook de riva “chose” to join the crows, and the hardships of crow training being referenced as a joke at most is appalling. b) if he had a kid they would not be a rook de riva. he would never let anyone he loves anywhere near the organization that abused and destroyed him. and zevran destroying the crows isn’t just getting revenge for what happened to him, it’s because they’re a deeply corrupt institution that participates in illegal slavery, abuses and kills children, and treats elves like objects. he wants to destroy the entire institution so no one else goes through what he did
that kind of got off track from zevran specifically, so. i’ll just also add that zevran “reforming” the crows or becoming their new leader is immensely out of character
