lady romancing any available male character honestly, the only reason I've romanced elves and humans in the past is because there are no male dwarf romances (yet), and I wasn't interested in Iron Bull's romance so no male Qunari for me yet either *shrug*

I wonder if this poll is any indication of the gender split across the forum in general, and female posters outnumber male posters?

Well, if not outnumber, are in high enough numbers and willing to respond to such poll questions. Some respondents are marking what gender they play, though; since you can pick multiple things, that lowers the clarity.
However, I've noticed that, in general, girls/women tend to obsess over people and characters and the like more than boys/men, so perhaps that has something to do with it.

Girls/Women don't got nothin' on me and my obsession over Sheploo and mShenko. Anecdotal evidence of some outliers are not examples that counter a general point. The vast majority of fanfic writers are women. Should we take from that that men aren't interested in writing? No. That they aren't creative? No. Something makes more women than men feel compelled to put their thoughts, ideas, and fantasies about these characters and franchises into writing. I know male fanfic writers. It does not deny their existence to point out that they are the minority. (And no, I don't buy the argument used for porn that "men are more visual." That is garbage. [Aside from the fact that not all fanfic is porny.] If more porn were made for women, instead of men, more women would watch porn.)

Most media is made for straight men, so they don't feel the need to create transformative works. Most media is not made for straight women, so they do feel the need to create tnrasformative works. So do LGBT men, women, and people, but the majority of fanfiction is likely written by straight women (there are just more of them).

Fanfiction is about spending more time in whatever fictional world. Why should that be different for men and women? Just because men might have some other thing they can turn to, doesn't mean they might not want to spend more time in whatever fictional world. Your point also ignores the fact that there is also fanfic created based on works geared toward women, like the various Pride and Prejudice works. I don't look at my own fanfic writing as "transformative," primarily because I keep to in-game canon.

Something else I’ve noticed after reading a bit of fanfic and then jumping back into “real”/“classic” literature is that it contains essentially the same stuff fanfic gets blamed for. There are the weird self-inserts, the wish-fulfillment porny bits, the sermonizing directly to the reader. Hell, there’s even straight-up fanfiction based on existing universes (lookin’ at you, Dante’s Inferno... but also every story that incorporates lots of elements from previous myths). It’s really odd that we treat fanfic as this completely different tier when it’s basically the same skeleton. Some of it could benefit from more/any betas, but literature can also be pretty bad before editors come through.

I mean Shakespeare wrote fanfic of the histories and dramas he read lmao Once transformative fiction got sort of co-opted by women though it started to get classified as second tier and trashy, the way women's literature always does (e.g. romance)

I find it completely hypocritical to trash romance writers when there are approximately fifty zillion Very Serious And Important Novels about war. War is a fucking tiny part of the human experience.

What a depressingly myopic view! And the Serious Message of these Serious Novels is always either “war is a carnival of horror and absurdity foisted upon the poor by the rich” (which is right, but everyone knew it before reading the book, ya numpty) or “but war is sometimes justified though” (which is... possibly true, but always presented in a suspiciously positive way in the actual novel). War is a thing we invented; it’s not a universal. Some isolated cultures had killing but never really got around to inventing wars. Romance isn’t universal either, but it’s certainly more universal than war. Yet it’s the romance writers who are accused of fixating on a minor topic. Bleurgh.

And just think about all those old school sci-fi and fantasy books that are basically self-inserts where the MC is a poor farmer/orphan/etc. who discovers he has magical powers. Everyone writes trash, everyone reads "trash" lol We're silly humans and we love to indulge AND THAT'S OKAY.

Masculinity (and femininity, for that matter), should be additive, not subtractive. I swear some of that “A is incompatible with masculinity” or “B is incompatible with femininity” is just a ploy to sell more products. If you’ve got a household that’s a mix of various parts of that spectrum (fairly common with siblings and partners and stuff like that), the masculine folks are socially discouraged from enjoying the feminine stuff and vice versa, so they have to buy 2+ kinds of movies/games/books/clothes/whatever, instead of sharing.

Man, I'll romance whoever, but I would like: A> The option to romance some dwarves and B> A romance that is race locked for dwarves that makes ya'll compelled to play as one Considering DA4 is probably set in Tevinter, we could end up with an inner circle (advisor/companion) who prefers humans and dwarves because of how Tevinter society privileges human mages and dwarves over everyone else. Still, that probably wouldn't be the same, since then people would just play humans. Maybe it could be a character who wants upward social mobility without the possibility for magic, then? Or the dwarf!pc is the only player character with a background where the character vaguely knows them and they'll only romance people they have a history with. I'm trying to think of a reason besides the obvious ones a character would only be interested in dwarves.

Cullen and Solas, we were promised their race-locking would "make sense" but it didn't and was never explained in game. Some could say "Solas is only interested in other elves" but he never says that, nor is it backed up by story. Solas doesn't fall in love with Lavellan because they're elf; he literally tells them they're different from all the other dumb elves of their era; they're "special." Race-locking is stupid and just an excuse by the devs to shove in romance that locks out certain players.

But yeah, Cullen and Solas being race-gated, that has nothing to do with anything else except lack of time and effort.

At least DA's racelocking isn't as extreme as BG. Before EE came along, we had...
M/F: Aerie - humans, elves, half-elves, halflings, and gnomes Jaheira - humans, elves, half-elves, and halflings Viconia - humans, half-elves, halflings, and half-orcs (though this one was bugged, so effectively she was restricted to the first three)
F/M: Anomen - humans, elves, half-elves, halflings
And there were no same-sex romances to speak of. Dwarves got no love and gnomes and half-orcs got very little (or none if Viconia's romance bug wasn't fixed).
I think there are actual story reasons for a character to be race-gated, but tbh none of them make for an appealing LI in my opinion (stuff like a human supremacist, an I-want-biological-elf-babies-no-matter-what elf, a dwarf who wants to marry up and will only consider romancing a member of dwarven nobility/royalty). Drama in fiction sometimes takes the form of falling for someone you never thought you would..... the Empress of Orlais falling for her elven handmaiden, Merrill fretting over what her clan will think of her having human babbus with male Hawke, Fenris or Sera falling for a mage, Ben-Hassrath Bull falling for a Tal-Vashoth. Adding race restrictions take a lot of these potential stories out of the pool so generally speaking I'd prefer they didn't do it or do it very little.

A character who's only interested in dating someone from a certain race isn't going to be a good person, so why the heck would we want to romance them? I don't want to romance an asshole.

Yeah, I was just kidding about wanting a romance race locked for dwarves (mostly...)
I do actually think that it makes sense for Solas' character in DA:I to only be available for an elf romance. Not that he is only interested in romancing elves, but that he less uninterested in romancing them than any other modern race.
For Cullen it was just kind of seems out of nowhere, but if there was some in-game explanation for it I doubt I would look his character as much. So I guess this is better?

And consider the toxic masculinaity which compels some poor straight men to say they hate romance and just engage in it so they can "get that ass" etc. C'mooon, men can and do love romance. Toxic masculinity. Anything is toxic if someone attempts to dictate anything of a gender. Generally, statistically, I would believe that men care less for the typical notion of 'romance' but they won't necessarily accept to just 'get that ass' Most romance ever acted out by men is for the woman, not necessarily the man himself. Mind you, I am just speaking generally, there are always the exceptions. But toxic masculinity is a bullshit term invented to slander men for being men, I advice not using it at all.

Personally, I don't mind (and honestly prefer having) characters that have race-gated romance if it makes sense for the character. I don't expect a Tevinter supremacist, for example, to fall easily for non-mages, let alone having any sort of intimate relationship with an elf or qunari. But then again, I don't think all characters need to have forward-thinking ideals and be cool with everyone just because, and I wouldn't mind having a character or two have some severe off-putting character traits that are hard for the majority to swallow.

Indeed. I would honestly expect companions from both spectrums, and I personally hope for more internal strife as well as more comradery, John Epler, comradery is the word you are looking for not 'family'. Dragon age is not My Little Pony with friendship is magic Anyway, yes. I'd expect character with opinions on both ends, perhaps even both extremes (Although extremists are hard people to have as companions, unless they are made to end up deceiving you, Solas) add some internal strife which allows the player the opportunity to get in between and settle matters either with some harsh words or more diplomatic words, perhaps even just watch and let shit unfold which would only have a negative impact As a matter of fact, just remove all romances and focus on giving me all of above, it'll be a much better RPG, trust me Bioware and EA... it'll work in your favor.

Interesting, last time I looked the poll m/m humans were doing worse, COOL! Sad dwarves are the last for m/m players But toxic masculinity is a bullshit term invented to slander men for being men, I advice not using it at all. Sorry but I'm a man and toxic masculinity exists. That you somehow get triggered by it it is not artemis -or anybody that use that term- problem lol I know for certain that that term has nothing to do with me. You? Bah anyway, too off-topic.

People are too forgiving when it comes to video games, and their focus is malplaced.

That you somehow get triggered by it it is not artemis -or anybody that use that term- problem lol I know for certain that that term has nothing to do with me. You? Bah anyway, too off-topic. And what if I requested a definition of the term 'toxic masculinity'? How would you define it? Could it be that you would somehow refer to the competitiveness that comes naturally to many men? Could it be that you would somehow refer to the higher risk-taking that comes naturally to many men? Or could it be that you would somehow refer to the fact, that some men looks at others and have a tendency to say: "THAT is what a man do." Then what do we call it when a woman says: "THAT is what a man do" Toxic femininity? No, toxic masculinity is an absolute bullshit term as is with any other tumblr grown terms, I am afraid. Again, I advice not using it at all, it is beyond moronic. I would of course accept a definition in private messaging as well from anyone, wouldn't want to intrude on people's "safe spaces" with simple disagreements, afterall. Damn, I am indeed such a terrible monster with my disagreements aren't I.

Ohhhh I find it really interesting how m/m and f/m are pretty much the same in terms of position? ofc all the straight women or gay men are not a hive mind but I see a pattern, this reminds me to a lot of f/m romances we wanted but we never got (Alistair, Cullen, even Blackwall) wonder what would happen with a ME poll like this one. haha I got the dude blocked anyway and never saw his comment till now xD I mean me too, but damn you curiosity
