And I appreciate you being polite in turn. The internet is enough of a toilet without throwing more crap in 
I really do think the Qun has a lot of good to it, and that it gives people a chance that might not have had one outside of it. Gatt is a great example of that. But he's also the one (correct me if I'm wrong, it's been a bit since that mission) that said some people see it as just another form of slavery. And they are justified in thinking so. And I agree that there's really no reason to re-educate a willing convert. But their methods are what I have an issue with. Some of what is described about the process is torture and pretty much all of it amounts to brainwashing.
I may sound like I hate the Qun, and really, I don't. I love the qunari culture/race - what little BW is willing to tell us, anyway. It's one of the most interesting societies in the entire game. Bull has a point when he says that at least they try to fix people instead of just lopping their heads off, but some of the fixes might be worse, depending on the individual. In theory, the Qun is great. In practice, (kinda like communism) it doesn't work out so well. But then, the same could be said for the circles, the Chantry, and a lot of other things in the DA universe. And, I will be the first to admit that I'm just flat-out biased. For me personally, the thought of being turned into a mindless drone is horrifying. Sure, they're content and don't know any difference, but that just seems worse. And I have the same issues with the Rite of Tranquility, so it isn't just the Qun.
Well at least you aren't like the others who are only a few comments away from being worse than the elf-haters. I don't have the stones, but it would be hilarious just to make a Qun appreciation thread just to see how many trolls would pop up.
The Qun is a meritocracy and for the most part it's a system that suits their society. I think its essentialist perspective perhaps is what is both a strength and perhaps the main drawback. When it's at its peak, it's practically a utopia where everyone excels at doing what they were "destined to" for the benefit of their civilization because they actually are using the skills they excelled at the most. At it's worst you have the Saarebas and re-educators. We know so little about it that I was actually surprised by some of what Gatt said; in one moment when talking about how he struggled with the Qun, he actually mentioned trying to "change" those aspects of it.
I think it probably has more nuance to it than we currently know. Problems aside, I like that they don't just randomly assign you roles, but that you're evaluated and given one in the area you excel the most. For the most part, it's matter-of-fact and doesn't have all the ideological trappings other societies have. Anyone with the potential or skill - even people born outside of the Qun - can become an Arishok or Arigena, even an Ariqun. Is it restrictive? Definitely. But it isn't a glass ceiling created by elites like Capitalism can be when used in the wrong hands. Everyone has a duty to the Qun- including those at the top- which is why I tend to view comparisons to slavery as hubris(unless one wants to argue that they're a slave to Koslun, but that's academic ).
Of course, believing that it's their duty to convert everyone else is an alarming red flag, not because of the sentiment itself - alot of societies and some religious sects share this sentiment - but because they clearly are formidable enough to see it through if they ever reach their peak. They're already among the most advanced technologically; just imagine how terrifying it would be if they treated magic with the same respect!
I find it interesting, on another note, that the weird forehead tattoo doesn't appear on some tranquil.

How can we resist 
?
. You know it´s not that easy to break his confident spirit. Here he is like.... Oh crap now what haha. If you guys have a better attempt feel free to share 
"oh no no no no no, dont worry Iron Bull forget that" I admit I got shocked as well. Maybe they could have used instead something like "Dont worry Kadan I´ll protect you no matter what" or... I dont know, something more romantic like start kissing each other more ferociously in response to that strong feeling perhaps?
