"Oh, I don't like Minthara cause she's mean to the other companions."
Shut up. All of the companions are mean to each other. Did you just like, completely skip over the passive aggressive comments between Shadowheart and Lae'zel throughout all of Act 1? Did you just skip over the confrontation in which the two of them actively try to kill each other in the gayest, most homoerotic way possible? Or did you just make an exception for Minthara and decided she's the only one not allowed to be mean? Larian had to de-bitchify Shadowheart cause she supposedly was too mean in EA, and she's still a bitch in the release version (and I love her for it). For fucks sake, Astarion is the fan favorite and one of the reasons is because he's an ass to everyone.
"But but her third son comment to Gale is so mean and cruel!" Shadowheart literally tells Astarion he deserves to be publicly executed. You do not have a problem with companions being assholes to each other, you just don't like it when Minthara does it for whatever dumb reason.
Just another example that shows that people have either 1) never recruited her and don't know the full context of her comments and miss out on all the positive things she has to say for all the companions and/or 2) hold her to a standard that they do not hold the rest of the cast to when they are all guilty of the same shit.
To me, this is just a lazy excuse for someone who doesn't actually have a valid reason to dislike Minthara.
#bg3#baldur's gate 3#minthara#minthara baenre#evil murder kitten#no seriously they all say some mean and shitty things about and to the other companions#and some of them have some mean and shitty things to say about her too#but heavens forbid minthara make a correct and accurate analysis of your favorite blorbo#don't get me wrong! there actually are some valid reasons to dislike minthara#her being mean to the other companions is not one of them because meanness is rarely ever used to criticize the other companions#the only one that comes close to that kind of fandom criticism is lae'zel - the companion who self admits to being mean#but she is constantly shown the benefit of the doubt and minthara is the one who gets tortured#and lae'zel has endless deconstructions as to why she is mean and people are understanding of it#but people just refuse to analyze as to why minthara is mean and it's probably because they killed her in the goblin camp#sorry but both of these wonderful queens have the right to be mean
