On Taash being the 'self-insert'

Something that really bothered me about a lot of the comments from bigoted grifters that Veilguard initially got was that Taash was a self-insert because they're non-binary and are one of the very rare 'firebreather' qunari and I'm like are you serious? Of all the characters in this game, Taash is your pick for the 'self-insert'?

Need I remind you of:

The super sweet country girl dwarf who reconnects to her titan ancestry by picking up a magic dagger and unlocks the ancient earth magic that her people have been blocked off from for millennia, and manages to stave off the destructive rage-filled heart of said titan?

The Inigo-Montoya-looking-ahh coffee addict and basically assassin royalty who has a demon inside him that gives him pretty purple wings so he can fly, on first meeting him manages to tear through a prison full of his blood mage captors without getting a single hair out of place or blood on his perfectly tailored purple Ezio Auditore coat?

The woodsy monster-hunting grey warden chad and the only grey warden that gets to bond with a griffon (which have been extinct for centuries) manages to kill an archdemon and survive because plot armour?

Like dude, be fr, Taash did nothing wrong, you're just a bigot.
