You know it. I also wrote the line where you get to tell Leliana to shut up and help make dinner that someone declared was cruel.

I just hate myself and all others of my sex. Clearly. I mean, I was talking about it to Mary and she said that she's at a loss to think of a single line I've written that wasn't a deep insult to all women everywhere, ever.


I still think the most misogynistic line in the entire game is "the cake is a lie".

I was so insulted, I ate an entire tub of icecream.

Whoever wrote that line hates wimmins too.

Hey, no one messes with my dog. Not even my (virtual) boyfriend.


Thank you... I needed that today :).

Back on topic. There's a whole series of comments from Shale about the control rod and how Wilhem used to fondle iot until his wife made him stop, which could be taken as reverse sexism....

Personally, I just laughed until tears came out of my eyes.

Oh wait... Shale's love of jewelery and the comments about the crystals making Shale look wider are sexist too...

And if you believe that I have a bridge to sell you.


Hey, my husband had to pass the large dog test before I'd date him.  Which includes not running like a baby and screaming when a 100#, 4' tall black lab tries to stand up to see your face.



Shale is SUCH a misogynistic character, all she she cares about is Sten's muscles and jewelry!  The nerve!

Sten? Is that you?


Well...an easy enough mistake to make on your part.  I know that to your people, we Qunari all look alike.

On the whole DAO has typical Tolkien-derived racism where instead of having a diversity of skin tone you have elves, dwarves and humans.  Pretty, fey Caucasians, stocky, burly Caucasians, and more or less average looking Caucasians.  Is it unique to DAO?  No.  Creating a diverse world of different looking white people is stock and trade for European fantasy. 


Tolkein, not racist.  People read into that WAY too much.

I consider myself a feminist, although not 'hardline', as you say, but I think to take offence at that particular line is rather odd.

Uhm.... I hate to tell Mary she's wrong, or maybe my X chomosome is malfunctioning, but I did a spit take at seeing that line the first time from laughing so hard. So I guess Mary doesn't think I'm a woman :)

When you think of Mary, think of Sten, she is equally awful towards her own sex. *shakes fist at self hating women*

Well, I actually wanted to choose it, but I was trying to be nice to Lel.  After all, Alistair can't cook, his job is just to stand by the fire and look pretty.  I didn't want my PC to die of food poisioning after all.


And yes, that was deliberate misandry. :devil:  Hate me.  Hate me because I'm beautiful.  Go on.

LOL, I'm envious, as Rabbit is the closest thing I'm ever probably going to get to a pet dog ever again. Not that my husband doesn't like dogs, but he's such a cat person I can't talk him into it. I would love a black lab like that.

Shale is SUCH a misogynistic character, all she she cares about is Sten's muscles and jewelry!  The nerve!


I missed the Sten's muscle comments!!!! And Shale is SOOOOO the tired stereotype of the catty *bleep*.....

God,I love her so much.

There's enough potshots you can take at everyone regardless of gender. It's equal opportunity dissing lol.

I'm not kidding about the dog test.  I actually had one guy I dated scream and yell, "Get it off me!"  It didn't last long.


Sten's muscles glistening with sweat, no less.    How sexist, as if all women just think with their ovaries.

LOL!

Yes, your sex's obvious duty in this world is to drain their own lifeforce to create mystical objects known as "sandwiches" for twisted, corrupt male ogres (with stinky genitalia).

Honestly, thanks for that line. Finally someone who understands that, deep inside, we all love that kind of humour.
I find it a little bit ironic that this post's attracted two people from BW. Damn straight, Callie, you're now famous.

Well, now that the OP (not that she necessarily deserves it, I'm not going to go postal on other people because of their opinions) has been beaten into submission by the collectve community, we can all laugh like idiots, and be happy :D

I thought most of the lines in the game where funny, my three favorite lines are when you get to tell Wayne to shut up I'm the Grey Warden here, when you are doing the quest in Orz and get to tell the shopkeeper about fixing the hole in his wall, but the greatest one is when Morigan says her tent is cold and you get to tell her to get a thicker blanket, it just makes her want you more, (wish all woman worked that way...)

I don't think there is anything to be offended here. It's just a line in the game. There are many lines that mock men as well as women, although not directed at genitals. I find it weird that of all things one gets offended at the genital smell...

And I didn't take it that way. I thought "going into underwear" as "get in someone's pants", as in, having an intercourse. So Warden may be mocking her taste of men... or whatever Morrigan found in the forest without any humans around. Either case, it was more of a mocking line on Morrigan's personal story rather than an insult meant at women.


I have to confess I understood the line in the same way. Which doesn't change it being a sexist line, but not directed against women, but against men... about whatever gets into Morrigan's pants is smelling...  ;)

Given that Bioware very likely has a majority of employees who are male, it seems clear to me that the OP believes that the way to combat what she perceives as misogyny is with misandry. Clearly. Because you know, the target of her comment is mostly men. And stuff.



Holy cats. An insulting comment is not always (and, I'd say, not typically) indicative of HATRED of the entire class of which the comment's recipient is a representative. To believe so is, ironically, paternalistic (maternalistic, in this case): after all, who are you to decide and then judge the intentions of a person you've never met based solely on one comment?

Sephora.


God but I hate this store.
  • Being in Vegas--Awesome!
  • Shopping with the girlie--Sure, great.  She gets to look at all the absurdly expensive stuff she wants, and we buy a bit.
  • The girlfriend using my big hairy biker mug to test makeup in the middle of Sephora--a humbling experience.

As a woman, I can say it's one of the funniest lines in the game. Come ON, how many Alistair fangirls want the opportunity to call Morrigan a skank anyway? It's not anti-woman, it's anti-Morrigan!  And it obviously wasn't offensive to Morrigan, anway.
