It's ridiculous. So what if you think he went through a magical sexuality change between Awakening and DA2? Why is that any of your business?
And how dare the writers go a different direction with THEIR storyline. -extreme eyeroll-

And don't get me wrong. Drew and I get into our fair share of arguments. We disagree over Merrill, Aveline, blood magic in general. Like, he thinks that blood magic could be useful, while I told him it clearly says in the guide that there's no way to do it with good intentions.

Ah, Merrill and blood magic. My husband thinks blood magic is cool. I predict future trouble in paradise with his Andersmance. lol

Also, I must go look in the guide again because I missed that!

Merril.
But her good intentions doesn't matter - her reasoning sucked. It's like Aveline said: "Why don;'t work with what you have, instead of trying to recreate old glory"?
Also I do think that blood magic could be useful - but I wouldn't trust anyone who uses it.

That's what we argue about, when it comes to Merrill.
He loveessss Merrill. She is second only to Anders.
And he refuses to see REASON.

I don't get the "Anders is not gay" thing. I mean, there was that banter with Oghren. "You're quite the dirty little dwarf..." XD

And other, serious factors.

Also, Drew sounds awesome.

People seem to be confused in this matter.
Anders isn't Zevran, and does not hit on every person in existance... much.
Hell, he might actually prefer women a little more than men!

Besides, he already pointed out that he loves for personality, not body. (A notion I am in complete agreement with... which helps when people look at me strangely when I start fangirling over Thane. So what if he's a seperate species!? So are elves...)

Who doesn't argue?
...which guide? What!?

(It is useful for surviving Templars. I mean, if they cut off your mana, you're a defenseless ordinary person against a guy with a sword...)

Well, technically speaking Anders is not gay, if we use the most common definition of the word. Anders likes to **** girls, judging by his comments. Gay men do not like to **** girls. That's what makes them gay, not the fact they like sausage.

No one listens to me at the damn comic shop....everyone seems to WANT to INSIST that Anders is a homosexual.
I was like, "Drew, you're gay. Do you like female parts near your male parts?"
And he was like, "Ew. No."
And I was like, "SEE POINT MADE."

But super-nerdy-guy (I know his name but I refuse to use it, since he's dead to me now) is insisting that they created the character of Anders to be more gay than straight. As the romance seems to be a bit deeper and his personality supposedly screams gay.

Oh, Merrill. 
I really, really wish I could have put one of my two canon Wardens into the game.

Surana simply for Zevran and various sexual situations

And Mahariel to drag Anders back to Amaranthine, say hello to her clan, knock some sense into Merrill, smash that bloody eluvian, kick Leliana's ass back into order (come back to us Leli... don't leave me for the Chantry ) and to smack Alistair round the head and pull him out of the Hanged Man and kick his ass back to Ferelden and more sex with Zevran.

I hate, hate, hate stereotyping. How can a personality be gay? Gay = attracted to people of same sex. THAT'S IT. >_<

That's what Drew said. He got quite offended.
I'm just hoping when I go this Thursday he's not going to be there. I just may have to get all HULK SMASH on him.

[Inzhuna]

I kind of think Anders is not even bisexual. Pansexual suits him and his views better.

[YamiSnuffles]

Bah. I don't get it. As people have said, he's not gay as he also sleeps with women. It shouldn't even matter anyway, but if people are going to b**** about his sexuality, they ought to at least get it right.

As to Anders being too feminine or whatever, I don't see it. I mean, he's not the normal "manly man" or whatever, but that doesn't make him any less of a man to me.

I totally stopped watching one artist on deviantart after she said Anders is way too feminine in DAII. Seriously, wtf, you're a woman, why the hell are you treating femininity as a bad thing?

Because she likes masculinity in males i guess. ones that play diamondback poker , have great stubble full beards and blow up buildings stand up for their beliefs. Or maybe she's a dog person? Then they clearly won't merge go well together

He means the definition of manliness. Anders by his definition is not manly, so his gay. Easy.
Get him to explain what he think is "manly" and show him that he's not, and you got him

He got hit on...he thought Anders was bro Anders, not Justanders.
So he got hit on hardcore and his manly feelings are hurt.
Keep in mind that this is the same guy who almost punched Drew in the mouth for flicking a cheerio at him and calling him "cute".
Super-nerdy-guy LIKED bro Anders way more....he said that bro Anders didn't **** as much and was actually funny. Justanders isn't funny at all.
Whatever. I don't waste my time on idiots anymore.

This is the part I really, really don't get. Only gay guys can have deep relationships? Guess I better tell my husband to stop being so gay. <_<

Whatever. This whole thing drives me nuts. Why do people obsess so much over Anders' orientation? It's not really the most important aspect of his character. Oh wait, I forgot, they obsess because they're secretly gay for him.

hehe my cousin was complaining and crying today about Thane. I didn't play ME2 but I still teared up at that letter from Lair of the shadow broker.

[Purposeof-Flight]

His biggest problem was Anders' hypocrisy.
The fact that he "merged" with a spirit that become a demon, then argues with Merrill that "Demons are bad". And nitpicks her for making a deal with a demon.
Or that he begins to condone blood magic near the end as a last stand for mages being taken back to the Circle.

Oh yes, God forbid poor males should have their masculinity offended by the terrible "gay" men(!)
See? This is a suporting argument of why Anders didn't hit on every male in Awakening.

I believe somebody once told me something along the lines of:
"A person who is secure in their heterosexuality would feel no need to be threatened by homosexuality."
My reply was:
"What threat!? Are these people paranoid-delusional or something!?"
And that coming from a real paranoid-delusional person.

I don't see why a person's sex matters when it comes to relationships. *sigh*

Having problem with Anders' hyposcrisy is ok. I have a problem with Anders' hypocrisy.
But what does it have to do with his sexuality?

SurelyForth wrote...
This. Never mind the fact that he can fall in love with a woman just as easily as he falls in love with a man. If he needs a label, and he doesn't, he's pansexual. Not gay, not straight.

Gosh I hate the word pansexual. It sounds like animals, plants and inanimate objects are included. 
Good ol' bisexual includes any and all sexualities/genders in its wider definition so I'll settle for that.

Or just queer, but that doesn't always translate well to wider audiences. Unfortunately it doesn't help shouting "Anders is queer!" outside this topic...<_<
