Um, so? Those are good movements trying to affect positive change.
Mothers who lose their children to drunk drivers created MADD.
"Mothers Against Drunk Drivers" is an acceptable response to your child being killed by a drunk driver. It targets the actual problem."Mothers Against Cars" would be moronic.
You seem to have a chip on your shoulder for people who act against your mode of belief.
So... it's really not such a rare thing to develop.
I don't think you actually understood a single word I said.
The mages of Thedas are morons who are allowed to hone their talents to violent ends.
Sweeping, bigoted generalization.
I've yet to see how losing magic on Thedas would be anything but completely beneficial.
It has stagnated the world into a fantasy trope. Removal of magic would only free Thedas from crippling ignorance.
Bull****. Magic is irrelevent to the issue. The common people of Thedas, and indeed, most of the nobility, have no access to magic whatsoever, and on the rare occasion that the option is available, they won't use it because they despise and fear it. So it can't possibly be responsible for a lack of development.
Even if magic
is taken away, what evidence is there that Thedas even possesses the capability to develop further? The Qunari shun magic and mages even more than the rest of Thedas, and they're just as stagnant as the rest of the continent. They had gunpowder 300 years ago when they first showed up, and have developed exactly squat since then.
