Wait, are you defending dragon as a gender? It's a work of fiction. It was made up as part of a story...
Prove it. No, I was kidding. However, I don't know if you realize just how far your response reaches.It's true and applicable to a lot.
I think they were speaking sarcastically, but yes I do agree with you. I'm not trans, but I hate gendered things (like why can't men wear dresses and why can't women fight in the front lines), and this whole 'species dysphoria' I find to be insulting to trans people. I understand trans people because there is a biological and scientific explanation, same goes for sexuality, but species dysphoria doesn't have that.
I also cringe when people start inventing all of these new 'sexualities' which really...they're not sexualities. How you court and what fetish you have doesn't define your sexual orientation, who you court does. It really gets annoying when people create their minority identity then trample all over other minorities because 'hey, I'm a special snowflake and need airplay too'. It really trivialises minority groups. It's like when people say "My coffee at Starbucks was cold and it made me depressed." No. No it didn't. It made you upset. If you knew depression you'd know cold coffees are the least of your troubles.
Yes, I'm glad my overblown response was understood by someone for what it was.
Men shouldn't wear dresses because they are women's clothes. Men and women are different. Not saying one is better, but they are different. As for women fighting on the front lines, it's two reasons. One, men protect women. That's what we do and hopefully that never goes away. Two, on average women are not as capable as men in all the things fighting a war requires. Obviously there are always exceptions. I hope our military holds the line and does cave by lowering standards for special forces.
As for those "new sexualities", it's two reasons. One, some people like to be victims. They want to join the ranks of the "oppressed". Two, when you hold up a group and celebrate everything about them, a new batch of special snowflakes will come around wanting their parade too.
We're talking about statistical probability. Out of the hundreds of thousands - if not millions - of people living in the DA setting, there are maybe 10-20 that could be "elven gods". The odds of running into one are so astronomically low that it's almost comical to write out the probability.
I don't believe that you can so fundamentally misunderstanding logic. He's not saying the Tal-Vasoth are not qunari. He's saying they were never Qunari. That's literally the No True Scotsman fallacy.
Again, these aren't chance encounters are they? It makes sense that such beings would be around important or extraordinary events. Also, these:

Specifically: Another way to look at it is that amazing things don't happen to the main characters because they're the main characters — rather, they're the main characters because amazing things happen to them. If they weren't remarkable people with remarkable feats and tales to their name, there wouldn't be a story about them and you wouldn't be hearing it in the first place.

As to the Qunari, what the Arishok says makes perfect sense because he believes that everyone is a certain thing and can not be otherwise. He isn't just trying to detach himself from an undesirable group; this is in keeping with his core philosophy.
Retour en haut
He thinks he smart, and he is, he not stupid. But some people lift him like he smartest person in Thedas. And he isn't not even close he is old and know elvish stuff and that's it. He is arrogant and thinks he always right. He just
