I watched the above video and i was kinda stunned at some of the claims made.
1) Objectively speaking Cassandra, Josephine and Sera are ugly.
Really there is a way to objectively determine a subjective thing such as beauty? I get you might not like any of them you might find only one attractive or you might like all of them. Can you say that is an objective view? I don't think so.
2) There the term like "Dike" hair used to discribe Cassandra.
If you want to have a serious disscussion about the direction of love intrests in DA:I, should you use charged terms like "DIKE" hair?
3)The presenter then distanced himself from the theory as to why, but still presented the therory that Bioware is doing this as some kind of punishment against heterosexual males.
Really? As a straight male I do not feel under attack by Bioware.
The presenter states that he doesn't beleive this is deliberate but the result that "something in the realm of 90% of them are, its a split between gay men and females, women." Do you have any evidence on the sexuality of the male writers?
I am trying to understand this presenters position but it appears that it trys to hide behind a mask of respectability, by citing facts with no sources provided. The two I like are the comments on objective beauty with regards to the straight male romance options and that 90% of bioware's writers are women and gay men. All this video seems to do is QQ that the three female romance options are not attractive to the presenter. Somehow his subjective likes are objective.
I get that people have different ideas of what is attractive and what isn't, as a goth i don't find the hollywood blonde bombshell pretty at all. I'll let you guess what I do find attractive. But seriously are you trying to say that BioWARE has this agenda of emasculating men through this proactive political correctness?
I had no idea having diversity of sexuality is politically correct. Anders was the 2nd M/M romance option done by biware and he is by far the most controversial companion if not NPC in Dragon age canon. Just look at how polarizing his character is to people. If Bioware had some kind of politically correct agenda would they make the 1st M/M romance option an assassin trying to kill you and would they make the second one a mass murder? Those are rather politically incorrect things to do for your first two M/M romance options. Seems to me if you had an agenda you'd make them with as few personality flaws as possible.
If look at the women in DA:I who are romance options all are skinny, with near perct bodies, hardly falling to the pressure of being politically correct with regards to concerns of media pushing unrealistic body types on women. So that doesn't hold up.
I don't think Bioware is concerned with being Politically correct. I think they are being representative of the reality of the world they live in. Bioware Edmonton is a Canadian studio and because it is such it is going to reflect the social values of the people who work there. Canadians are liberal, (Small L) Canadians will know what "Small L" means, especially when it compared to Americans. Many of the political issues Americans are dealing with have been over for a decade or more in canada. Some seem to think Bioware is trying to influence the culture wars in the States, I am pretty confident that the staff in Bioware are not. Simply because the political issues in the States are not the political issues in Canada. Women have access to birth control, we have universal medical coverage, same sex marriage has been in canada since 2003 to 2005 (depending on the province. http://en.wikipedia....riage_in_Canada ). Abortion is a suicidal topic for the Conservative party, bring it up and voters will flee. Bioware has no need to push some kind of politically correct agenda in support of the US culture wars simply because they are from canada and those issues have been settled.
Are we men so insecure that just because we may not find the female romance options all that stunning this time around that bioware is punishing straight men? Is bioware punishing men because straight women get 4 romance options?
To all the men that feel persecuted by bioware all I can say is SUCK IT UP PRINCESS. Diversity =/= punishment.
[edit] Some people are asking why i put the link to the video, I am doing this so people are able to see the material for themselves. So you don't have to take my word for what the video says. So people know i am not making things up.
