Regarding anonymity, I have mixed feelings.
In my *drumroll* opinion, anonymity is fine and warranted in non-corporate places like this.
Big Social Media, Twitter especially, is absolutely warping society with the anonymous trolls of the world. Including governmental trolling in myriad ways. I feel that anonymity there is no longer welcome.

I follow BioWARE on Twitter b/c it's what they want, and I never tire of pressing "like" for their posts. I don't know of any other way to counteract the negativity around my favorite bunch of devs.

Please spare the "intellectual laziness and cowardice" bullshit. I'm sick of the "heterosexuals feeling wronged" defense, that you posted in your original post! Which basically is a bunch of fucking crybabies screaming "Sera and Suvi are lesbians and I can't romance them because I'm so sexually insecure as a man that I can't play as a woman because I might be gay!" Or "Cassandra and Cora are ugly I don't want to romance them!" When people like you stop acting a whinny entitled selfish brat, and come to real world then I will be happy to debate you. Until you and the worthless whinny "hardcore" gamer trolls can fuck off. It sounds as if you are saying that heterosexual people aren't granted the ability to have opinions... People can have their own opinions but I'm sick and fucking tied of people using bogus "facts" as an excuse to allow hatred and intolerance.

I wouldn't call Cassandra beautiful, but I wouldn't say she was ugly. My dislike of her had nothing to do with her physical attraction. What turned me off from her character, was her being a religious nutcase.

Never, anywhere, have I said I was against women in AAA games. Never, anywhere, have I said women or other genders should be excluded from the fun Many of you want me to be a villain, pure evil that can be easily dismissed. It's shameful intellectual laziness and cowardice. Look around, your country is being torn apart by just such attitudes and behaviors. Please spare the "intellectual laziness and cowardice" bullshit. I'm sick of the "heterosexuals feeling wronged" defense, that you posted in your original post! Which basically is a bunch of fucking crybabies screaming "Sera and Suvi are lesbians and I can't romance them because I'm so sexually insecure as a man that I can't play as a woman because I might be gay!" Or "Cassandra and Cora are ugly I don't want to romance them!" When people like you stop acting a whinny entitled selfish brat, and come to real world then I will be happy to debate you. Until you and the worthless whinny "hardcore" gamer trolls can fuck off. Oh, the irony. You're no less of a brat than he is, then. Come-on.

Bill Maher had a good joke. I paraphrase.
Discussing how to improve the sex lives of aging couples:
"I hate when people say men and women have to learn to share their mutual fantasies. HA! There are no mutual fantasies. YOURS BORE US, AND OURS DISGUST YOU."
Hyperbole, yes. But there's a lot of truth here.
We're entering a new phase in the evolution of games. Women and other genders want in. There's going to be friction.

It doesn't matter if YOU liked those Cassandra or not. The fact of the matter is, the majority of hetero gamers feel neglected by these games' expression of romance options; and that contributes to the negative reception. Do we? Blimey, good to know.

I kinda feel I should pursue my original plan to romance Cassandra. I kinda stopped playing the playthrough. I need to get rid of the fucking mascara on my character before, though.

What turned me off from her character, was her being a religious nutcase. I think its unfair to call her a nutcase. Her religion did not make her throw reason overboard and go apeshit fanatic. In fact you can tell her you do not belief in the maker and she is perfectly fine with it, in fact thats what I did and I still romanced her. She is a pretty reasonable character and her beliefs do not get in her -or others- way at all, and she does not force it upon others either. - Also the religious ones are crazy in bed. For the record, I'm an agnostic, which means I neither agree or disagree with the theory there is a higher being. I say we do not know nearly enough to make either of those claims.

Cass is hot. Source: hetero dude. I neither agree or disagree with the theory there is a higher being. I say we do not know nearly enough to make either of those claims. I say we do know more than enough to dispel any notion that any of the Gods that man has created are real. There is plenty of evidence to support that. I agree that we do not know enough to claim there is no sort of "Creator", but the benevolent God thing is a man-made joke that is not funny and has been running FAR too long.

However, my personal definition of god, or gods, is an intelligence, or the conglomerate of intelligences of unfathomable power which are able to create something from nothing, create time, space and matter at will. Does such being exist? Nobody knows and maybe we will never have the means to find out because of the possibility of having countless dimensions, universes, an infinite amount of different time spans and last but not least different laws of physics: Maybe there is a horizon that cannot be reached by any means and knowing the existence of that ''higher being'' is completely impossible. For us. A depressive thought, but a thought that makes me, by my definition, inevitably an agnostic. - In fact, I think most atheists are actually hidden agnostics in that way.

Bioware needs to stop being a-holes and release a re-imagined look for Cassandra Pentaghast so I can play Dragon Age Inquisition. Why couldn't they just make her super hot like a super model god damn it. I HATE SJWS SO MUCH.
I did a very thorough and deep chantry loyalist play through in the first two games. I have to romance Cassandra Pentaghast, but her face looks like a man. It's all f'ed up.
They should've at least made Cassandra a lesbian with that ultra mannish lesbian face, then I would've just rolled a hot blonde lesbian character. She would be the lesbian man in the relationship and my female lesbian would be the lipstick.
