Romancers before Bromancers.
Note: These are apparently Dragon Age fandom groups viciously at war with each other.
“Two households, both alike in dignity
In fair Thedas, where we lay our scene
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
From forth the fatal minds of these two cliques
A pair of star-cross'd fans take their life
Whose misadventured piteous overthrows
Do with their death bury their fandoms' strife.”
Romancer and Bromancer, Scene 1, Act 1
The Varric thread is a pretty scary place right now so I will probably not be joining them anytime soon!
You do them - us - an injustice! They're just consoling themselves and each other last I saw, often with funny pictures and gifs of Cersei Lannister getting drunk. And sloths. And kittens. There's no (or certainly very little) real anger or aggressiveness about it. So please don't mischaracterise them.
