Being back in the Dragon Age fandom has awakened something long asleep within me, which is a seething deep, feral hatred and disgust for Cullen and dismay at the way everyone in the fandom is head over heels for him. Literally it's as fresh as it was on the first day. Truly, things you feel at 15 years old do not wane.

#dragon age #i just... there are other let's say problematic white men who are problematic characters #aka anders and solas lol #that the fandom has been and is obsessed with and they coddle them like uwu my tortured boy can do no wrong #and like while that is sometimes a bit annoying #and alienating when you keep finding people who seem to believe the one correct way to play the game is to romance X character #bc all the content is fucking about them!! ugh it seems like other romances do not exist #but at least then i can tolerate it bc like #i enjoy anders and solas as characters #i get them they're flawed and can be downright horrible at times (I don't mean anders blowing up the chantry btw i mean how fucking cruel #he is to others in game)#but i get it #but not with that man!!#they only kept him in da2 and dai because idiots romantized the shit out of a very fucked up situation in the mage origin #then he became even more horrible in da2!!#and THEN in dai they just whitewash him and instead of properly redeeming him they just ignore everything bad he ever did #and that's when they add the romance option #a romance option that is kind of a joke seeing as he's still hung up on female amell/surana from like ten years ago #he even asks a romance leliana about her and will say shit like maybe me and hof would have had a chance like hello???#also his type is just... amell/surana copies he is a racist piece of shit who only likes human and elf women like hello???#and the straight girls just ate it the fuck up because there's nothing more they love than the fantasy that they can redeem an evil man #but like you're romanticizing the hell out of a prison guard/inmate situation like get help
