age of consent is different in different countries, in my country 16 years old girl can get married. But that is for marriage. So age for marriage for girls is min 16 years old.
If a guy sex with under 18 girl not in marriage it is considered a rape no matter if the girl allow it or like it or not, it is automatically rape...and that guy got up to max 24 lashes and sent to prison.
@yew
Joan of Arc lead and army and unite France before reaching 18 as i remember reading about her...so about uniting nobles, lands and fighting in battle, a little girl can do that and it is proven in history. It is not the issue about Middle Age people or whatsoever because Dragon Age is not Middle Age. It is about sexual content involving underage girl in a video game.
If someone made historical film about Middle Age people involving sex with underage it is okay because it is history and the film is about history...we all know there is no such underage law in the past, it is modern western secular law and modern terminology such as pedophile or whatever. And so some Islamic haters making noise about the prophet of Islam married with 9 years old it is bull crap like we can see today. He live 1400 years ago and a desert people, and he is not white.
But this is video game we are talking about. Video game made after millennium.
So, okay...i am not looking for controversy....just pointing maybe Bioware should be careful in something...that's all. If i can see like that, imagine feminists groups if they play this game..
No.
Stop.
Just stop,
clear your mind,
and
think.
The Warden is NOT a little girl. Look at her.
She's as tall as the adults of her race, she has huge ******, a womanly body etc.
It's clear to see that she can't be placed anywhere under 16. And that's a huge stretch of imagination. The very youngest she could be would be 16. That's far far far from paedophila, and (although just off legal in some countries today, such as the USA) pretty much socially acceptable throughout the world. In modern times, and defintely in the sort of times that the game is based, whether you want to accept that as a point or not.
There's also no reason to assume that a warden of any race, class or gender would have a differing age. So it stands that the male Warden (with his beard, abs, huge stature, obviously adult everything) would be the same age as the female Warden. They're the same 'The Warden' - the only 'The Warden' that exists in their personal universe.
And Joan of Arc was 16 when she began her campaign.
Regardless, she wasn't given a couple of friends, a bit of advice, and then sent into the thick of a huge and terrifying bloody battle with hordes of monsters.
Plus, it's impossible to be forced into sex with anyone. The Warden must either intinate the sex themselves, likely after a long or intense period of flirting, or understand and respond positively/maturely to advances.
I doubt a 12 year old girl would do this.
I've given you a range of evidence that the Warden is not underage, or at least if she is
young, of a perfectly acceptable age to be having sex. Pick and choose what you want, only 1 reason is really needed.
You've got an idea in your head, grasped at straws, and decided it's a problem.
It isn't.
You've made this up yourself, and neither Bioware of the rest of us see this as being a potential issue as noone but people like yourself, who just seem to WANT this sort of controversy, would take offence.
Why would Bioware purposely design the Warden to be underage? How could it be possible that they
accidently did it? There's no reason why Bioware would make her underage, and while you can take dialouge out of context and shove stuff together, your claim that the Warden is underaged is as valid as staring at the clouds and claiming one of them was made to look like Robert Frost's testicles.
Discussion over.
