Am I missing something?

 

Some posters causing trouble in the Scuttlebutt forum, apparently from other websites. 

 

Since they're all apparently six years old and incapable of adjusting to modern society, a lot of the complaining was about Bioware pandering to teh gheys rather than straight men.

Ah, not there that often, mostly for Twitter, until it became less twitter.

User

can you be a bro with dorian, or will he think I'm trying to get with him... Kinda want a garrus bro for life thing

 

Mike Laidlaw ‏@Mike_Laidlaw

Dorian stands ready to be a pretty awesome bro, yes.

 

The entire concept of bros is mystifying to me. 

 

(And if anyone tries to draw Dorian in a backwards baseball cap I will probably kick something)

I think "bros" = best friend.

To be honest , I'm mostly annoyed by the bromance thing , because it's like ...I don't know men have some better friendship or something?

There's no word for female friendship , I think.

Well I hope I can be "bro" with Dorian.

I think the "bro" thing is just about straight men feeling like they need to legitimize their close friendships as platonic.

It's because english-speaking straight men believe that by adding the word "bro" or "man" in front of another word (something that might question their sexuality if used about themselves) it makes it "less gay"/less feminine (see: bromance, brony, manpurse, etc).

 

It's very silly.

I understand the dev twitter meaning behind the new thread tittle, but I really would prefer the old one or something else in general.

The troll from 4chan made another thread.

He's uninspired this time,though.

To continue on the bro thing. I don't mind it so much because it's become more of a commonly used term to just mean "good friend that has your back who you can have a laugh with ect" I don't think everyone who says it actually means "no ******!".

Yes that really was a very weak attempt. The mods are watching him now though so I doubt he will be much of a problem.  ;)

Oh, 'bro' itself is fine. It's just a word to call a close friend. It's when it's added to other words to mean NO ****** that is silly, like in those cases.

People were kind of fanatical about Garrus being their bro in ME2/ME3 though, and before launch there was a pretty incredible amount of anxiety about him being potentially a romance for maleShep. I know the word doesn't necessarily have to have that meaning, but in that case it was fairly implicit that a bro was a platonic male friend minus all romantic connotations. 

 

(To the point where people who *couldn't* have been communicating with each other were all independently saying Garrus was their bro, and so Garrus couldn't or shouldn't be an m/m romance.)

 

I guess I just associate the word bro with a teenage boy who likes Bioware's wisecracking and "badass" male characters, fairly or not. And to put it bluntly, I'd much rather spend time talking to Dorian about the flaws of an oligarchy or the nature of magic in Thedas - not about explosions and enemy kill counts.

David Gaider said he was writing two romances for DAI + you don't design a character that good looking and not make him a romance.

Same way Cole got the undead facial treatment so people don't get misplaced ideas about him.

 

Anyway I'd be very surprised if he's not a romance.

I think it's pretty safe to say he will be.

Same, but I prefer solid evidence, because it seems like whenever I hope for something, it's dashed. :unsure: *crosses fingers*

If Dorian is a necromancer I wander what his skill set will be. I know we'll get some kind of corpse summon. What number of summons do you think we can have once? I could see him with some kind of A.O.E spell that gives him a health or manna boost for the dead in one spot. Maybe, some kind of revive or health drain spell. I could also see the black cloud spell in DAO (sorry can't remember the name) making a come back. What do you think his skill will be like?

As fond as they are of trolling, I highly doubt BW would reveal their first gay companion and then not have him be a romantic option. 

 

(For one thing, that seems like a lot of zots to spend on incidental representation.)

Your hope is not going to be dashed this time!

Cheer up!

Well maybe if you keep doubting you'll be happier when you'll get the good news. ;)

I get what you were saying but I was just clarifying that I didn't mean that everyone who uses the word always means that. I didn't want to give the impression that this is all the word is ever used for coz my comment may have seemed that way to some people.

Why is it team YOLO for Dorian? That really feels more fitting for the IB, given the whole #ridetheironbull.
