I couldn't really care, I just hope that there is isn't a "LOOK AT ALL THE WOMEN RUNNING STUFF" moment or dialogue. Its been a weird trend in Bioware games since I started playing them in 2007 or so. Being gay and having women in positions of power was just treated as normal, especially in Dragon Age. But in recent years through games and extended media, they've gone more meta with real world stuff and retconning it to be taboo or groundbreaking or whatever. I kinda liked the old way where it was just like "Yup, being gay in Thedas is totes normal and no one really cares", but then by DAI its a massive taboo thing. In early DA games it was the norm to have women at the head of a nation, and especially the chantry and all of its subdivisions. It was just how it was. But then in DAI I remember some dialogues specifically (maybe only 2 or 3) where it was like made a point to be like "WOMEN CAN RUN STUFF TOO" about Orlais/The Seekers. Yeah I know, I've played games in this universe for a decade, where it was established that people is just people and some people just happen to have different bits or like different bits. I always felt that was just a much more nuanced stance. It doesn't really bother me, I just kinda liked that form of messaging. Maybe it was a sign of the times where there would have been more backlash against coming right out and saying it even 5 years ago, I guess. Huh? When or where were these dialogues? I can't remember a single time when my Lady Herald, Josephine, Cassandra or Leliana were questioned because they were women. Same goes for Celine. Her relationship with Briala isn't a scandal because Briala is a woman, but because she's an elf. Throughout the game you can meet male and female military commanders. The only time I can remember when a person's sexuality leads to conflict is in Dorian's personal quest. His parents are from Tevinter which seems to be a more male dominated society, than southern Thedas.

Idk, maybe i am old, maybe i'm a shortminded but since Inquisition it seems Bioware took an approach to their stories that has been tottaly different from the old games. We have a lot of sexual salad, like if they MUST INCLUDE ALL SORTS of sexual options, gay, bissexual, transexual, hetero etc. I mean, this may seem to be fair but to me, it's just a way to include more public into your products just as the hollywood movies have been doing with it's films in general, and tha't exactly what turns them into crap movies for the most part. You try to please everyone, ends up pleasing no one. No wonder women have capabilities, skill, rights or whatever reasons to be in leader positions, i'm not discussin this. What i tried to point is that i felt Male characters in this game were depicted as less important or less powerful. This may seem to be the tide turning away from the feminism which have been reclaiming the exact opposite for quite some time, and i don't want the game to be be neither feminist or the opposite, i only want the game to be a good sci fi fantasy, and this doesn't mean we need to have only men, only women, or a perfect mix of them in leadership positions, but as i said above, my impression is that this kind of approach only turn the game less belieavable or at least the majority of people won't engage in the story so well because it is kinda mixed. People have been complaining about characters being childish too, and this is another part of the same thing, to include more public at the cost of being oriented into some kind of game. It's like: Lets make an horror movie, with adventurous characters, with adult content, childish jokes, a little bit of action and a well centered story within a mixed plotline. okay this will totally get attention, but certainly will not be a great movie. The largest portion of the consumerbase in games is hetero male. Just think of all the repeat playthroughs we will get to enjoy going through the entire game over and over again just so we can romance each and every one of these female characters. By "we", I mean, of course, everyone on BSN who isn't me, because I'm not touching the singleplayer. This is off-topic to the general cancerous topic of this thread but I just have to question this because it made me go ''wtf'' out loud. You're buying the game but not touching the singleplayer? Why? Are you saying that you're buying it for just the multiplayer? That would be like building a 2000 dollar PC to play just minecraft on it... Or was this just a joke and I fell for it like a dumbass?

*blah blah blah* So, nothing wrong with having female characters in leading roles but c'mon, everythin in this game seems to be pointing towards femdom Nothing wrong with people being into femdom. There's no kink shaming in the MEU or on the new BSN.

As a straight man, I actually love the female shoehorning that the Regressives are doing in all forms of entertainment.
Why ?
Because it absolves me of any social responsibility that a man is traditionally expected to have with regards to women.
In the days of yore, any time a woman encounters any discomfort or difficulty, men are expected by society to step up and help them, even if it is against the man's self interest. That's what being a real man meant - Chivalry, self sacrifice etc.
Now though, because women are supposed to be strong, independent and empowered...Men no longer have to waste their time or their lives or their self respect to be chivalrous, to be self-sacrificial or to be a disposable utility.
These days, when a woman has a problem or expects privileged treatment, I just tell them that real women are supposed to be strong, independent and empowered...So they should fix their own problems and issues themselves,that I will not aid them unless they give me something tangible like money...& then stand back and enjoy the glorious schadenfreude...
Many men these days worry about feminism and the female driven social narrative but in my view, these things have resulted in the liberation of men.
I no longer have to care about getting married or bothering with romantic relationships, because women have made both unappealing and risky. I no longer have to worry about sex because women give it away quite freely these days ansd good porn is freely available. I no longer have to be like the the dumb cucks who stayed on the Titanic to drown or the simps who open doors for women or carry heavy things for them because its wimminz first - Fuck that shit, its me first.
I wholeheartedly support Bioware's attempts to liberate men from their traditional responsibilities and making them free.

To late, already spotted a few. Seriously, though... is it unrealistic? Sure, modern day space exploration - heck, any exploration afford ever undertaken by humanity before - has been a 95% male endeavor. It's logical, it's human nature. Still, realism is no factor in fiction... as long as people realize it's just fiction, I think it's no problem. You have to marvel at the argument being used here. Its the same argument that is used tk explain the reality that fictional characters are supposed to be highly attractive and not ugly because it isn't real life...Yet that justification is somehow not valid there yet its somehow magically valid when we are talking about overrepresentation of women. Gotta love Regressive Logic...

The belief in gender equality is wholly compatible with opposing positive discrimination like "women first." It is wrong that men are often treated as inherently more disposable. Which isn't to say, "hooray" for not helping people, but "hooray for not determining whether to help people based solely on gender."

The problem is that today's feminists, at least those referring to themselves as "third wave feminists", want to keep the cake and eat it too.
They don't want actual equality, they aim for supremacy.
The fact that most justice systems in the west are more lenient on female offenders is not something seen as a problem by them. When a wife that was earning more than the husband was made by the court to pay to the husband during a divorce case, feminists were outraged.
Who cares about male suicide rate compared to female, when video games "objectify" female characters?
*raises hand* Me. I do. I care about both of those things. Simultaneously. It's like magic. I'm basically a wizard.

Regarding "objectification", I think that complaints are overblown. Games are all about fantasy, and having some eye candy is hardly the tragedy some make it out to be. Especially since many types of media are providing a large variety of eye candy, for males, females, gays, etc.
I care more about making things realistic, in terms of clothing, etc. Hitting character with the ugly stick or making them chubbier etc. to make a point is rather ridiculous.
The degree to which it's a problem is often exaggerated, I agree.

When a wife that was earning more than the husband was made by the court to pay to the husband during a divorce case, feminists were outraged. There do seem to be cases where male single parents are at risk of losing custody of their children, even if the mother has been absent for years. As well as a double-standard where father are far more taken to task for being a deadbeat or absentee parent, especially when it comes to issue of providing child support. Even in places that have disproved gender bias influencing court decisions when it comes to this, there does seem more expectations placed upon men. (Obvious caveat: This is merely based on observation and second-hand accounts I've heard from various people. Since I don't have kids, nor have studied law, I can't really claim to be an authority on any of this. Anyone who has more insight is free to correct me, if I'm wrong?)

They don't want actual equality, they aim for supremacy. The thing about third wave feminism isn't that it seeks favoritism for women per se. What it seeks is an understanding of equality that accounts for existing social and biological differences between groups. For instance, you might think that a policy of not having a health insurance plan cover birth control would be fine so long as it applies to both men and women. But the reality is that birth control for women serves a dual role in both preventing pregnancy *and* regulating hormonal imbalances, whereas only the former is served by male birth control. The end result being that despite the policy seeming equal on the surface, its real world application actually disadvantages women moreso than men. That said, I do think that there is a far greater emphasis on accounting for these things when they negatively affect women as opposed to men. If feminism is to live up to its definition as a movement for equality between men and women, it needs to look at male issues with the same level of urgency and importance.

If feminism is to live up to its definition as a movement for equality between men and women, it needs to look at male issues with the same level of urgency and importance. There is a stark difference between the "official" definition of feminism and the actual attitude among third wave feminists.
For the most part saying that feminism is merely about "equality" is a sad joke at this point. Feminism was taken over by extremists for some time now.
I don't think the ratio of extremists to non-extremists is as high as you're suggesting unless your definition for extremist is "anyone who holds a view that is more extreme than my own." I certainly have my own disagreements with particular third wave feminist views and their proponents, but it's more about having different ways of conceptualizing how equality ought to be achieve than one side actually being against equality. Anyway, the main point is that third wave feminism isn't a fucked up monolith of people saying that women should be favored over men. I think the underlying goal and concept is still noble and the disagreements that are being had are more about how to achieve that common goal.

Toyish Batphone , it means both, men and women, we must take responsability when we see unjustice. And we both, men and women, can be helped when unjustice and danger are upon us. So yeah, you are right in one part but at the same time it doesn't eliminate the responsability you have with other human beings. The difference is now the responsability is shared also with women, with all the good things and the bad things attached.

Perhaps misanthropy is the better alternative for society to take, since hating everyone removes all issues surrounding gender?

So yeah, you are right in one part but at the same time it doesn't eliminate the responsability you have with other human beings. The difference is now the responsability is shared also with women, with all the good things and the bad things attached. Oh boy, don't. Normal people are no longer responsible for injustice, thats what we have law enforcement and judges for. Stepping out of line to do ''acts of justice can get you into serious trouble like jail or worse. Example: a person is getting beaten in some dark alley, you run to help them and you whack the attacker to make him stop, breaking his jaw. Next thing that is going to happen is the police will arrest the attacker AND you, and you will be on trial for assault and mayhem. If it turns out the attacker had a bad childhood and drug problems you are in serious trouble. And then it turns out the person who got beaten was his wife and she is mad at you for hurting her husband. The final result is you will be convicted for assault and mayhem, if the judge feels sympathetic you will only have to stay in prison for a couple of months, but you will have to pay your butt off for the medical bills of the attacker for the coming years. You will lose your old job because nobody wants a guy who has been convicted for assault and mayhem, and with that in your files you will never get a decent job again. Your life is ruined, for a couple of seconds of justice, justice nobody even cares about. Shit like that happens all the time. If you see injustice, call the police and move along. In these times you will get punished for being a morally sound, just person and you will be rewarded for being a self-centered, careless bastard who does not give a shit about anyone.
