#because i know a lot of queer people and poc who loves lae'zel

[larissel]

Not liking Lae'zel becasue she isn't a typical human companion is so.. boring? Like Mass Effect has amazing romances and companions that are alien. Tali, Garrus?

So dumb, I've also seen some people that hate Shadowheart and think Lae'zel is too good for her etc. Too old, different wants blah blah. Weird

Don't get how you can love one but hate the other? I'm still not sure what my BG3 ships are, might end up writing my self but at least you Shadowzel fans actually understand Lae'zel and Shadowheart's characters?

So many bad takes on them both. Bitchy and mean at the start etc.

They are probably my favorite companions in BG3. I adore them

Nah. People don't hate her because she's a non-human companion, look at characters like Karlach who a lot of love within the community, but the hate for Lae'zel stems from the fact that she's straightforward with what she wants and tells it like it is, how she doesn't exactly bow down to your character like most rpg games would do, and she's not a conventionally attractive character. But yeah, Shadowheart does get hate for being a "bitch". And Karlach gets pretty mistreated in the fandom because some people sees her as the "stupid" one.
