"#mostly i want sigrun or velanna to throw hands the first time morrigan or leliana refers to their beloved sergeant as a lecherous old drunk" okay. i mean you can headcanon all you want but it doesn't change the fact that the vast majority of oghren's banters with sigrun are overt sexual harassment and she repeatedly asks him to stop to no avail. in fact, the rest of his misogyny aside, he directs substantially more harassment at sigrun than any other female companion. you can lament his misogyny all you want but it's a central conceit of his character and erasing it because you want to like him more and can't grapple with that is doing a massive disservice to the women of the setting. sorry!
#mine#i know we all like to pretend the writers didnt make a horrendously misogynistic game but they did.#and pretending they didnt makes critical analysis impossible!#you can like oghren all you want but if youre just going to pretend that misogyny isnt central to his character#then ummm maybe you actually dont like him.#soooooo embarrassing to watch this fandom pretend the misogyny doesnt exist
