#sometimes I forget that this fandom isn't just made up of 20 wonderfully smart people with good takes

Imagine making a completely false narrative, ignoring the history of the game industry, and making assumptions based on the single early animation test just to... idk, feel like you're playing correctly?

Let's ignore all the years of development that went into these games. The work of writers, lead voice actors, artists and designers. Very first animation test is the only thing that is important.

Imagine completely ignoring the whole point of this genre: every Shepard, just like every Warden, Hawke, Inquisitor, and Rook is canon. Their gender, their pre-game history, their romance, everything is canon!

Imagine trying to rationalize your own sexism by saying that the only reason your fantasy isn't reality is because it was 2007 and female protagonists are only for female players??? Yeah, let's ignore all the classic games from the same era with female protagonists. Let's ignore the fact that men can play as women, women can play as men, and non-binary people exist.

Imagine feeling the need to even talk about this shit.

Imagine so many people agreeing with you.

The stupidity of it all makes me so fucking sad.
