Essentially yes, that's my understanding. I think in days past you might have called yourself a tomboy.

Ok, but sometimes the tomboy or femboy thing is a faze. I had a cousin who was a massive tomboy growing up and now she is married with two kids and very feminine. I knew another girl who was a tomboy, but later found out she was a lesbian. I just don't understand where the whole rejection of being male or female comes in. You can be a man who loves style and fashion or be a woman who likes to work in construction, but that doesn't mean your not male or female. I don't think it's necessary to identify as non-binary because you enjoy things that most of your gender doesn't normally enjoy.

I am just having a hard time understanding this and it's giving me a headache honestly.

I actually feel bad for oblivious Dragon Age fans looking forward to the newest fantasy RPG escapism, only to be treated to scenes like this.
Personally i hoped it will be at least okish till i saw first CGI trailer, then i knew deep down its gonna turn out nasty but kept lying to myself with each next treailer that maybe somehow it wont, only decent trailer was that last-launch trailer but by then it was so obvious game is shit after hours of previews/dev commentary footage so i was numb and lost all the hope already :messenger_weary:

If only it was genre/franchise i didnt care about, say multiplayer arena shooter or dunno, moba, walking sim etc, no such luck this time.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
The sad part is that I did a scathing criticism of Dragon Age 2 at release -- justifiably so at the time -- but in hindsight I wish we could rewind to those days.

Shit mountain was the good times, I guess. I miss it, too.


Anyway, Laura Kate Dale's name is super familiar, but I can't quite place it. Can someone remind me?

I do enjoy popping over to the asylum every now and then to read the mad bastards posts to see if there's any sense to be had and lo and behold the purple hairs are all turning on each other and lashing out at the slightest deviation from the hivemind... How in the fuck can you have a discussion over there with a gun held to your head and a lunatic holding the trigger and how in the fuck can they not see that this is some Nazi burning books level of censorship, anyways this Dragon Age is turning into something spectacular, cannot wait to see Critical Drinkers take, I'm sure he'll go extra easy on it....

Also how can anyone with any sense of decency or braincells have issue with Skillups video, it was a well balanced and fully justified take and he brought all the receipts.


"Ok, this is now reaching levels of harassment I'm no longer ignoring. So 2 responses here:

1: I was in the Dragon Age-thread earlier when others had posted about the Skill Up-review and nobody mentioned that it was a banned source. I was away a couple hours, someone in a Discord-chat posted it and I watched it. I returned to the thread here on Resetera to talk about the bad voice acting and writing in that scene I saw, and suddenly YOU hit me with "omg, how can you post a banned source!". From earlier, I had assumed Skill Up was an allowed source. Immediately, I edited my posting to remove the Skill Up-content.

2: I haven't responded to this thread because multiple people instantly attacked me in the worst way for a posting where I called out a racist chud. Instead of acknowledging that, you chose to focus on ONE word I used. And I still wouldn't know what other word to use. There was zero ill-intent. I didn't respont, because you had already chosen to interpret my sentence in the worst ways possible. So let me be clear:

I wrote that I don't like some of these modern designs.

What you guys turned this into:

- he hates ALL these designs!

- he hates LGBT people!

- he wants to remove these designs/forbid them from existing!

And guess what: None of that is true. There was one user that even claimed "there is never a valid reason to dislike these designs". What an utter piece of bs. I was talking entirely on the visual/aesthetic enjoyment I receive from seeing a design, and that is 100% subjective and for everyone to decide for themselves. For example I don't like the Fable-heroine's design. But I don't go on a tirade to call her "ugly" or that she should be changed or anything. It's simply my subjective perception that I don't like that specific design. And that is valid, because I didn't choose to not like the design, it just is so. You don't get to make rules for what designs can and cannot be liked, that would be absolutely insane. Wanna know what designs I also dislike? Pretty much all of those big-boobed dolls that the chuds always want to replace female characters with. So stop trying to put me in some group that I don't belong, thank you.

If the term "modern designs" is forbidden on Resetera, then tell me what better alternative to use, because, again, there was zero ill intent. I don't think saying "inclusive designs" would be a good term, as I've seen some people say, because we shouldn't want to connotate "not traditionally attactive" with "inclusion", that'd be rather insulting imo. But you make the rules, so whatever the prefered term is, okay.

This will be my last posting in the thread. Hadn't planned on posting again after people immediately, and for days, tried to get me banned for one term that had no ill-intent, in a posting where I called out a racist chud. Sorry."
