I’m here to say that you may absolutely express negativity about veilguard to me as long as it’s not stupid. hate on it for real reasons, of which there are plenty, most of which I’m ignoring because of the hype but would be glad to discuss in a civilized manner. no forced positivity in this zone this is a safe space. unless your criticism is dumb as fuck then I will point and laugh

#sorry people have been posting about how bad the ~discourse~ is #about everything under the sun #and I’m starting to think that people are really just classifying like #‘oh this guy has a different opinion than me’ as discourse #like. hm. here’s an example from the latest and greatest #some people think a certain ending for Astarion is better than the others #they are entitled to that opinion! you are entitled to dksageee!#nobody is attacking you for your preference #even if someone says on their blog ‘oh if you don’t put blorbo bleebus through the bingly bop ritual you’re not a real fan’ that’s still #not a personal attack! that’s just someone Having Thoughts on their own blog #sorry I’m just. sigh #you can’t post any analysis of the actual climactic event in dragon age 2 anymore without it being labeled discourse #and I think. here’s my contribution to the discourse #you all are so obsessed with Avoiding Discourse that you’re not letting yourself feel the joy of getting stupidly invested in media #anyway. aren’t you tired of being nice. don’t you wanna go apeshit #ugh sigh DISCLAIMER because this is tumblr and you have to over explain lest someone take you in the worst possible faith #I am WELL AWARE of people who do actually like attack people and make online space hell for the differing opinions #tis why I specified people talking about their takes *on their own blog*#I am also WELL AWARE of pervasive issues in fandom. namely racism. I’m talking about racism and looking directly at the way bg3 fandom #treats and talks about wyll. and the way they treat black fans who rightfully call that shit out #racism isn’t discourse. it’s racism #talking about racism isn’t discourse. don’t devalue the conversation like that #disclaimers over. I stand by what I said #this is a safe space to have opinions. even if I disagree. unless what you’re saying is really stupid #don’t fish for reasons to be a hater. haterism should come naturally or not at all #this has been a post
