It largely comes from the same place as the other group of people I hate.

Tumblr.

The vast majority of people don't seem to brag too much, so I don't much care about the vast majority of people. But it's the tiny vocal minority that makes me irrationally angry.


You keep saying how you hate Tumblr, and the SJWs there, but you find a way out of anything to keep bringing them back up. It's like you go there to read what the vocal minority says just to get angry.

I wasn't the one who changed the topic of discussion to people's childhoods and the 90's. I can only respond to what's already been said, and I gave my response.

 

It's not my fault that Tumblr just happens to be a haven for the scum of humanity.

How is talking about the 90s, related to the vocal minorities on Tumblr?

I wonder why people want anymore closure for the Warden and Morrigan I just don't get it.  I thought that they had plenty of closure.  Even from a romance point of view.  Their story is clearly over, their part in the grand tale of Dragon Age.  Granted I could be wrong.  But I really do not think so given the evidence.  

Well, their stories are not realy over, the Warden is looking for the calling. Morrigan said that she was going to go and join him.

I wish they didn't tbh, that can end up making the content less than stellar just to satisfy personal headcanon

I think it has to do with political correctness, some people say that they don't like sex or any depiction of it, others don't like so called 'mixed race' etc. Some don't want roamnce in their games at all, they can't even deal with the thought of it being in there even though it is optional. Look at how many people complained about the Cassandra romance (a surprising amount) just because her breasts were shown. People were saying how they dislike seeing breasts and all this stuff, they said that there should have been an option to cover them up (ridiculous). On the DA confessions page, one person wrote something like: 'When I did the Cassandra romance, I was not expecting it to be so explicit; I can't believe they went there...' as though Cassandra's romance was some kind of hardcore porn scene--all it did was show the naked top half of both the Inquisitor and Cassandra.

 

Many gamers can't seem to handle any mature content, Bioware knows this. I think Bioware leaves some of these things open to interpretation so if they get a bunch of complaints from people with 'wounded sensibilities' Bioware just says "well it's open to interpretation, you just take your offence, and believe whatever you want to believe."  Yes it is ridiculous, but that is what political correctness does, it censors, and makes everything silly, silly in the way that authoritarianism is silly (some will get that). Also, Bioware gets to remain aloof enough so that they never have to really defend their depictions. They just flatten the landscape and say-like the Fiddler on the Roof song, just replace 'tradition' with interpretation and God with consumers-"how do we keep our balance? That I can tell you in one word: Interpretation!" lol "Here at Bioware we have interpretations for everything, how to sleep (shows scene of someone about to close eyes, but then cuts away) how to eat (shows scene of someone about to eat a cheeseburger, but quickly cuts away to black) how to work (shows someone gnawing on their keyboard)  "is he trying to eat his keyboard, or is he trying to type with his mouth? I don't know, it is open to interpretation, but I have some headcanon on the topic and I'm sure you do too."  One would think that ambiguity and interpretation are Bioware's two heuristics to life. lol

 

 Honestly, the Cassandra scene is just as open to 'interpretation', because no sex is shown a person could say, e.g.

 

Orlesian Nobel: 'Oh my, I must spare myself the indignity. They did not have sex, they did not. They simply rolled around on the ground and got too hot, then afterwards they took their clothing off to cool down... Oh no, even that makes me light headed..." *dramatically faints*  XD lol
 

Could this silliness simply be solved if people with their own sensibilities, that are so opposed to the mature content that is described on the back of the video game box, simply played other games rather than try to enforce their censorship on other people who are not put off by mature content?

 

There might be a materalisitc expalnation as well for why Bioware would want  people to use their  imgaination, rather than Bioware having to spend on more content.

I'm just right.. Kind of like Cass. ;)

That's one thing I like about this game. Most of the characters are my age.



That was a nicer aspect.

How is talking about the 90s, related to the vocal minorities on Tumblr?

Because there are people who like to brag about how great the 90's/80's/[insert era of childhood here] were, and try to qualify that opinion by completely sh*tting on modern media? And that a healthy number of those people can be found on Tumblr? They're free to prefer the older things (I think it's safe to assume that everybody has an older *something* that they prefer to its newer counterparts), but to totally dismiss something just on the basis that it's new, and leaving the bulk of your critique as "it sucks"? That's profoundly idiotic.

 

When I hear someone say something along the lines of "the 1994 Spider-Man series is way better than any other Marvel series BY FAR, these modern shows are bad", it makes me want to punch their d**k into the dirt.

 

"Heh, Ninja Turtles is such sh*t now, they should bring back the 80's cartoon!", but they either ignore or disregard the 2003 series or the 2012 series, both of which are very highly rated and quite good, because they're modern.

I've seen 90s tv shows. They are incredibly overrated. Fun fact: The fact that we couldn't do higher level math in the 90s does not guarantee reruns don't exist.

To be fair, it's "only" cursive, so they won't just fully stop writing by hand, and it's going to come into effect in 2016.

  Ahh, then the article must have been wrong. Oh well it still sucks tbh.

It largely comes from the same place as the other group of people I hate.

  Tumblr is right in this case, the 90s were better tbh. *runs*

Hahaha! I think that's too extreme for his taste. I can see him placing a Thedas version of a whoopie cushion on a chantry mother's chair during a prayer service though. :P

  And if the chantry sister complained to cassandra? Cass would be like 'Deal.With.It

Games can handle mature content just fine my dear. Its the stuck up prissy audience who get offended at the slightest thing that can't. 

 

Personally, Bioware should just give the finger to those complaints and make their games mature. Its not as if their sales are going to plummet if they make mature content.

I don't care about that, I'm just tired of seeing every overgrown manchild in his early 30's online talk about how great his childhood shows are, and how sh*tty today's are. And hearing wannabe music snobs talk about how Nirvana and Kurt Cobain were God's gift to music.

 

Today's aren't any worse than the terrible shows you watched as a kid back before the days of the internet, and Nirvana is tremendously overrated. There's a reason why of all the members, only Dave Grohl is still famous and consistently working. Because he doesn't suck. Kurt had good ideas as a lyricist and could play the guitar on the odd occasion he was sober, but he wasted it by making most, if not all of his lyrics needlessly vague to the point of meaninglessness and doing so much heroin it slowly began to replace the blood in his body.

 

The "Huh huh what we had was better, you kids nowadays suck!" and the idiotic blindness of nostalgia from people makes me detest those time periods, irrational though it may be.

 

I do not know about Western songs because I do not listen to them much, I prefer classical Western music (thank the gods kids don't like these)...But when it comes to Indian songs, I will openly say songs in the 90s are far superior than the ones today...Today most Indian songs are shite....You cannot understand half of the words, it will be filled with unnecessarily shoehorned rap and dubstep and the message in them is downright awful sometimes...

 

Perhaps I will tell you something about the 90s that you can relate to...Cartoons...Anyone here recall the good old days of Justice League Unlimited, Batman The Animated Series and the likes ? Now many of the cartoons around are quite frankly, Micheal Bay-esque shite with pointless explosions, and shallow stories....I mean Young Justice was one of the few good things on TV and they cancelled it in favor of that Teen Titans crap...

 

So yes, my childhood shows and songs are far superior to the ones today...& kids these days do suck...Back in the 90s, you would see kids burying their heads in books being bookworms...Now many of them are narcissistic smartphone zombies....

 

& that is not because of the producers or composers or designers...That's because of the kids...These TV shows, music are being made to satisfy the target audience and that is what the modern day kids want...

My Trevelyan rogue (on standby) hated his job as a Chantry brother.. just did circus tricks for the kids. Juggling knives. Getting out  of locks. 

 

 

That's all the story I have for that guy. That's why I play the mage. Easier for me to come up with good elf rogue or dwarf story.. but I don't like the designs at all (male, I mean).

 

Tell me about it. I tried so very hard to play the male Lavellan...But just couldn't. Had to switch to male Trevelyan.
