i think about this every day. this is THE funniest fucking thing anyone could have ever complained about. “we need more focus on heterosexual male gamers stop making everyone bisexual” because Anders will flirt with a male player. if you don’t like gay people maybe don’t play gay people games idk. Sorry that the criminal you just hired to help you kill people for money also happens to take dick sometimes. Its a fantasy series are you really that pressed about a wizard who wants to suck you off. you can tell him no.
#sometimes i forget just how grotesquely homophobic the 2010s actually were#Dragon Age may be kind of shit. but really genuinely it's kind of revolutionary too see such outwardly queer characters in a mainstream game#DA2 really did something kind of fantastic. it's SO nonchalant about how openly bisexual its characters are#They're all romantically interested no matter what and that really is just. nice. i like how their sexuality is mostly unimportant#Anders may actually be the only character where his interest in men is brought up. Fenris is also into men. but this isn't addressed by him#which certainly is interesting and i do wonder why Anders gets a line about it and Fenris doesn't.#Isabela and Merrill also obviously don't get lines about being into women but this is because it was. again. 2011.#and we know how cis men feel about lesbians. especially in videogames.
