I don't get it. When people take gay characters and try to make them straight, it generally causes a hell storm here on the BSN. But it's perfectly all right to take a straight person and make them gay? Double-standard much?
So far, you have two negative responses and one neutral. I wouldn't freak out about double standards this early.

I'm not really into changing someone's sexuality towards either end of the spectrum. Someone can do whatever they please in their own games, but I don't care to see it, nor will I ever play with that mod installed. If a character is gay by default, then they're gay. If they're straight, then they're straight.
Seeing someone mod Cassandra to be lesbian just makes me think of the "WHY ISN'T CASSANDRA LESBIAN/BISEXUAL?!?" b**ching and complaining threads back when the game first released.

You think the BSN is bad? Wait until the news reach Tumblr. There is a reason why I call that site "the pit of hell". Browsing through the 'cassandra pentaghast' tag will be such a pleasure once again.
Pardon the pun, but there's a f**kin' lot of porn on Deviantart.

I've only heard bad things about Tumblr. I bet the SJWs are only going to come out when Sera or Dorian is made straight.

There's always been a double standard around that on BSN and tumblr

I'm fairly sure this is because there aren't any organizations/religious movements dedicated to turning straight people gay IRL.

Well, there are one or two good things about Tumblr - the art is one of them. But the cons heavily overweight the pros. I stay there because of the few people I admire and respect, but, yeah. No other site makes me as scared to hit the 'publish' button as Tumblr. Liking the wrong character? You're screwed. Liking the wrong pairing? You're screwed. Prefering your own headcanons or, Maker forbids!, the original content of the game? You're screwed double time. People there are acting like sharks - the moment one of them smell blood, hundred others come out from thin air and tear you apart while lecturing you for being an awful human being.
Anyway, let's speak of something more pleasant, like Cass' moles. Aren't they adorable? Especially the three ones at the corner of her mouth. Blessed be the person who went with the idea of putting them here.

Nice generalizations, man!I've only heard bad things about Tumblr. I bet the SJWs are only going to come out when Sera or Dorian is made straight.

It still does not change the fact that morphing a character's sexuality for one's personal benefit is morally detestable.

Morally detestable? Eh. Only to the degree that siding with the templars in a video game is genuinely morally detestable. I think it comes from a different place for making characters open to gay options as opposed to straight ones--mostly because gay people tend to have much more limited options--but I don't think it's inherently reprehensible unless you're driven by the "cure the gay" ideology.

It's best to not bother with Xil
You're a SJW, Luvy? Gross, man.Nice generalizations, man!
I don't really see the issue, tbh. Well, I do see the issue, but I don't personally align with it.
I'm far more interested in seeing two compatible personalities interact in fiction, and gender doesn't generally contribute to that dynamic, unless you're using their sexuality as a plot point to drive the narrative. I'm not a fan of that, generally, but it can be done well.
I'm all for set sexualities in fiction, and representation is a force for good if handled well (like anything), but I think there should be some allowances within the fan sphere. Dorian's character and Vivienne's character could make for a fascinating clash of cultures and ideals, what with the free mage of Tevinter contrasting with the restrained control of southern Thedas, and I wouldn't see the point in restricting that exploration in fanfiction, just as I wouldn't see the point in denying someone seeing something similar between Cassandra and Leliana.
That being said, it's probably a bad example, since Dorian's sexuality is so tied to his personality, but you get the general message. As long as it's not out of any malice, where's the harm?

Changing the sexuality of an LI from heterosexual to bisexual will hardly solve the issue that stems from the lack of representation since "Cure the gay" and Bisexual!Cassandra fantasies are ultimately driven by the desire to conform an individual to something they aren't nor wish to adopt.
Nice generalizations, man!
There's a reason Tublr has the reputation it does. When seriously about half of your website is SJWs, you can safely call it a safe haven for those awful people.
The other half of Tumblr are the really annoying SuperWhoLock fangirls. I still don't know which group I detest more.
what in the ****
Lmao!
