Gay Gamers Want Dragon Age 2 Writer Fired
- Thread starter Andy Chalk
- Start date
No offense, but Anders had a forward appraoch to Male Hawke and Female Hawke. That is his way with romance. Fenris could also romance Male Hawke, and he was not as forward. David Gaider, and Jennifer Hepler, who wrote Ander's romance, certainly did not intend to exploit a common gay stereo type. I think it's sad that we in the LGBTQ community still has to deal with such strong reactions, even from our own. That's not something I'll ever understand.
TROLL TROLL TROLL TROLL TROLL.
This is patently bullsh!t. I have no idea if the guy who set up the petition is really a gay gamer or not (hell, for all I know it was started by the guy who originally made complaints about the games gay content), but I can tell you now that whoever it is is being petty and vindictive and should chill the hell out and listen to some Enya.
And can I object to the title of this article? Gay Gamers DO NOT want David Gaider fired. As a Gay Gamer myself, I can tell you I want this man KNIGHTED if anything. Myself aside, I am also a patron of many Gay forums on the internet, most of which covered the original story when it came out and I can attest that David Gaider has almost universal support from the Gay community.

friggin' ridiculous...
although in all fairness the writing was shoddy regardless of the gay parts.
lets face it, it'll never be Mass Effect!
if i were you, id be more concerned about a game that promises epic RPG adventures and then tursn out to 16 hours for 100% completion. silly bioware, what've they done this time

To be honest, I'd rather not have the romances in the game altogether, if they're not adding anything substantial to the game like a greater level of immersion or open up a new branch of the story that otherwise would've gone unexplored then what's the point other than unnecessary padding?
So agressive females running around screaming DO ME are allowed in a variety of games say like Fable, Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto, but as soon as one game does one gay guy trying to be slightly agressive...we're at defcon 4...pushing you're image into the good view there aren't ya fellas?

My only hope is that people don't see this and think that all gay people are as easy to offend as this whining fucktard.
"if anything, this is just more proof that people are people, regardless of their sexual proclivities - and that sometimes, people are stupid."
And we're done here.
And we're done here.
Well if Mr.Gaider is fired, then I will have officially lost all faith in humanity.
I mean seriously,
Yes, Anders does hit on you constantly, but thing, he isn't gay. He is bisexual, because you can pursue a romance with him, as a man or a woman!

There was... a slight problem. But on the whole Anders still beats Zevran, and the points were fairly easy to score back. Frankly, even though he was a bit forward (and just a day after your boyfriend dies, ass) I think Anders was actually just being a bit awkward about actually appreciating Hawke.
Though really I think DA2's whole romance scene was a bit of a catastrophe.

hypothetical situation time.
say that you acted like a prick to the creators of a game because you are against them putting gays into there games. now say that the said creators soundly destroyed you by saying that there game is for everyone not just people with your specific point of view. now how best to try and get these creators back? i know, make a petition that says the game is anti homosexual to try and get the writer fired!
