Gay Gamers Want Dragon Age 2 Writer Fired
- Thread starter Andy Chalk
- Start date
Homosexuals don't think about anything other than sex. Just like heterosexuals don't think about anything other than sex. Gay or staight we are genetically predisposed to want to bang everyone and everything and I, for one, am okay with that.
Also, the arguement about portraying stereotypical gays (or black, or women, or bla bla bla) is such a ridiculous arguement because to do the opposite would be to deny the existence of stereotypical gays all together. There are gays that fit the stereotype 100% and there are gays that don't fit it at all; should we just pretend that there are no gays that represent the sterotype and just avoid portraying the stereotype all together? Not every gay is Omar and to present every gay as such is a denial of reality. That being said to present every homosexual as the steretypical 'gay' is also as ridiculous. Can we just have balance between the two?

He's a troll, whether he knows it or not. Plus, doesn't Anders flirt with you a lot no matter what gender you are? It's not so much Bioware's depiction of homosexuals, and more their depiction on Anders.
Obviously whoever started this petition is either a homophobic troll out to remove gay material from games, or a genuine idiot who didn't actually play the Dragon Age 2.
I hope it's the former, because otherwise I would facepalm so hard I'd have to go into surgery to get facial reconstruction. Attacking Gaider as a gay and/or female gamer is the equivalent of shooting yourself in the foot.

News: Idiot creates petition.
Anders is bisexual, but more importantly... Anders is needy. If Hawke is nice to him, Anders interprets it as a possible interest in them being "more than friends".
If he's rejected, he gets disappointed and a bit angry. There's nothing wrong with this.

I have one complaint. We demanded a relationship option with the dog in DA:O.
Where is our dog option, dammit?!

Sorry, he never states outright that he's not gay but take a look at mine and Twisted post where we look at the implicit evidence to suggest he's straight. Becoming gay is just too wild a divergence from his existing personality.sindremaster said:

Bollocks to this guy, he's a full on troll. If that is honestly the worst gay stereotype he's ever seen, then he clearly isn't gay, or even alive. The writing in the game may be bad, but it sure as hell ain't homophobic.
If he is, and honestly believes that, well, it looks like his aim is to segregate the gay community back to the stone age. Game developers just aren't going to bother any more, and who can blame them?

You know, I don't know about 'unable to be a normal person', but I figure 'unable to think about anything but sex all the time' pretty much describes about 30-40% of the population of young men and women, both gay and straight.
Maybe they should have characterized the DA gays as 'unable to ever stop whining', but then I'd be saying, "Well whaddya know? I guess gay people are the same as everyone else after all!"

Lol is it really so surprising that someone would respond negatively to the idea of being molested? That has way less to do with sexuality and more with not wanting to be raped.Actual said:
I was sort of under the impression that Anders was asexual in Dragon Age. Anyway, it's entirely possible that he's bisexual, liking women doesn't automatically exclude liking men.Actual said:
I don't think that firing the writer is a good move, but maker of the petition definitely has a valid point.
This does nothing to help the position of Gay Gamers as totally reasonable people, I felt proud when David Gaider defended Bioware's position on the topic, now we have some self-righteous queen ruining it for the rest of us.
I seriously hope this is a troll, if not i'm sad.. not for humanity but for gay gamers everywhere.

Here's a writer defending the right to portray gay relationships and then he's being flamed. Fail. Fail on so many levels.
Besides, almost EVERY minority in video games is a stereotype! Just look at black people in video games. The only black characer without "black talk" that I can think of right now is Louis from L4D. Now look at women. That's enough staring you get the idea.
