I know there are many bad takes about Gale on this site, but the worst takes I’ve seen on another social media site in another language are much more abhorrent than anything here tbh, the recent one I’ve seen even gets some popularity among his “fans”... They were basically saying it’s Mystra who made him the humble man he is now, without her influence on him he would be as egotistical as in his god ending, and more than a hundred of reblogs are all thanking Mystra for “training her lapdog so well” for them🤢

Did we even play the same game? Isn’t his god ending a direct result of Mystra making him think he will never be enough as he is, and he can only find his self-worth through gaining more power? Didn’t Tara say he’s not himself anymore and she would no longer be his companion in his god ending, she knew him long before Mystra made him her chosen, he was powerful enough before his relationship with Mystra, if he’s anything like god!Gale at the time wouldn’t Tara just leave him? I’d imagine he would have been more confident and had a more stable self-image if Mystra had never contacted him, therefore he didn’t even need the Gale of Waterdeep persona. He would always have been Gale Dekarios in that timeline. And people glorifying Mystra’s grooming and abuse towards him and unironically calling him “her lapdog” is just... I have no words. But what do you expect from an online space that’s infested with terfs and radfems? They just won’t recognize or acknowledge any abuse from women towards men...

#rant #cw: grooming #cw: abuse #fandom critical #and I lost count of how many takes calling him an abled person on that site #they were like #I don't care that he’s suicidal depressed autistic and chronically ill #compared to a certain elf he’s an abled person and trauma-free!#yikes zero awareness of their own ableism #fuck mystra #don't want to put this in his main tags #I didn’t mean to say that every person who praised mystra here is a radfem/terf #but most people there do share essentialist view about gender and sex #they are very hostile to queer men in fandoms as well #there are anon confession blogs and most of them are males dni #and there’s almost zero content of wyll in the fandom there #racism here is already bad but it’s much worse there and no one talk about it #they liked it when larian made gale doesn’t leave when you denied him medicine #they liked it when they removed the persuasion check in the drow twins scene #it’s kind of a power trip to them #they liked it when they can bully a man they claimed to love and face no consequences #it’s not d/s it’s downright abusive #they’re really saying mystra did nothing wrong in another garbage take #they’re going to excuse a god who sexually exploited a mortal like a tool and then cast him aside because a honest mistake he made #which the said god could easily prevent it by telling him the knowledge he didn’t have about the true nature of the orb #then tell him to kill himself for forgiveness when the god can foresee the outcome which would be unleashing a illithid infestation #the power inbanlance between them is so enormous that no real life situation can be compared to it #he literally can’t say no in that relationship #they’re going to excuse all these just because the god is female presenting #women can’t cause serious harm as men do isn’t a feminist stance at all as they think
