You will forgive me for thinking that this is all anyone really cares about when nearly any all fan related content regarding them (whether it be mere talk about the characters they are going to create or other things like comic strips) focuses pretty much solely on this factor.
I mean before they were announced as playable everyone was all like "oh no I don't find Female Qunari attractive, I just think it would be an interesting viewpoint to explore" and now that we get them everyone is all like "Allright! Im gonna create a female Qunari with a midget fetish!".
Also what is the go with that Kossith crap? I remember there was a rumour floating around that Qunari could be officially renamed Kossith due to the amount of people misusing the term, has this happened or has it been officially denied?
Female Qunari and their sexual preferences?

Considering that most people in real life are heterosexual primarily, I don't see a problem with this.

Given that I also interpreted this as a slight against Plaintiff, perhaps in the future you should be more careful with how you choose your words since I'm having an impossible time concluding that you were benign with your post.

David, I have zero issue with you posting in regards to general RPG conventions, and feel that people are often unfounded in their catch all response to conclude that you haven't played any of the DA games and hence your responses are invalid for that reason alone.
Having said that, people will not go into full detail when discussing the Qunari, and on a Dragon Age message board that is fine. Your comment takes this in a political direction that isn't warranted. I encourage you to become much more familiar with the lore of the game if you wish to discuss it further because you're just going to antagonize people by discussing things that you don't fully understand.
Having said that:

How does that not describe the Qunari perfectly, Drone?
Oh wait, you never played the DA games.
Pick up DA:O and DA2, finish them, and then lecture me genius.

This type of response is unwarranted. Don't do it.

[quote]Plaintiff wrote...
Did I say there was a problem? No, you're just making things up. Again.
Considering that Thedas is a fantasy world, I don't see how any aspect of "real life" is even remotely relevent.
[/quote]
Where did I say that you have a problem? But you've pretty much admitted at this point, so I really don't have to.
[/quote]
The implication SHOULD have been obvious. Given your response, however, I am now convinced that you're the one being antagonistic. You pretty much admitted it at this point?

Interesting.

What's he making up, that the majority of people IRL are straight? Do you disagree?
Considering
that Thedas is in a game that is being sold to the people IRL who are
straight and probably prefer straight romances over gay romances, then
I'd say yes, it's very relevant.
[/quote]
The implication (and posting history) of the two posters. On a final note, positions like yours make me increasingly disinclined to support heterosexual relationships. Luckily for you, I suppose, it's not my call?

BOTH of you are coming across as someone itching for a fight.

No it doesn't. I'm making a general statement. People do that sometimes, Plantiff did you know?[/quote]
Did you know that words have meaning, and the language you use affects how your points will be perceived?
[quote]Did you know that everyone isn't out to get you?[/quote]
I never suspected this was the case. I think most people are just thoughtless toolbags.
[quote]Did you know that most people don't even care?[/quote]
Yes, and that's exactly the problem. Thank you for confirming it for me.

I'm just responding. Like a normal person would, 'cause guess what:
nomral people don't try to antagonize. Can we just have a conversation?
It would be really nice if we could all just act mature. Let's do that,
okay?[/quote]
Given our past interactions, what ever could have led you to believe I'd welcome a response from you?
This is me, saying with as much maturity as I can muster, that I'm not interested in any conversation with you.
[quote]Your responses act like you want someone to have conflict with. Keep searching.[/quote]
You're the one who sought out an interaction with me, remember? It was just a couple of pages ago.
[/quote]
If you're not interested in having a conversation with him, then don't. Calling people a bunch of toolbags is also the type of thing that is going to not only agitate and escalate the issue further, it's also going to give me additional grey hairs and frustrate me.
[quote]MassivelyEffective0730 wrote...
I'm not seeing any problem being made up. Care to name it?[/quote]
That the context of making such a statement, especially based on prior conversations with Plaintiff and Br3ad (and Br3ad's BSN friends) of this historically being a huge sticking point. Perhaps I just notice it better because I'm the one that needs to clean up the bickering.

And another one....
[quote]Br3ad wrote...
Never having a problem in the first place, combined with a comment about
not seeing one, there is no problem. But continue. It's very becoming
of you.[/quote]
At this point, it's become painfully clear that it IS a problem for you. Or are you simply crying defense against being misunderstood in probably the MOST antagonistic way possible?

It would be UNBELIEVABLY AWESOME if the people that grated on each other simply ignored each other. Alas...

Man arguing with the drone is costing me precious neurons so much so I use logic and history interchangeably.

Indeed it was. I recommend you not play too close to the fire lest you get yourself caught up in it as well.

I'll have sex with the desire demon I summon before I implant it into your body to turn it into a revenant.

This is why I dislike trolling, as it escalates. Odd, however, that you don't post this GIF until now.
Now that I'm at the end of the thread.
More generally, it's becoming exceedingly common to see the same people in the same threads bicker about the same things with the same varying amount of hostility and aggression. If you're not sure if I'm referring to you, specifically, then it might be best to assume that I am. My tolerance level is eroding.
