Well, from what I gathered from the OP, he is not dissatisfied with the limited options for straight male romances, he is simply disappointed that there is no "Isabela" type of character in the game.

 

OP spammed all the different sub-forums over 20 times with the same copy/pasted thread declaring that Josephine and Cassandra were ugly enough to make him vomit. He then signed in as an alt a day or two later, and did it again with exactly the same thread.

 

I think people can safely assume that he is dissatisfied with the characters' appearances.

I only use Disney Princess because she reminds me of Jasmine lol

I remember when that was one of the guesses for her.  Poor Josie, she was Scribbles until September.  They waited a loooong time to release her name.

I think that was me who made that guess too

Ah, fair enough.  Alts.. no time to keep track of them

Yeppers, I chatted with you in one of them recently.

Ah I have to say that I'm disappointed that this is just another Cassandra and Josephine aren't pretty enough for straight male gamers!- thread. Idk what I was excepting though.

It's hard to remember since there were so many of them.

One time when I popped into the Josie thread, I saw Hanako saying she'd put "Disney princess" there to be tongue in cheek. I kind of get it, but I think the point might be lost on people who just glance at the title. 

 

I just think the phrase is overused, and not actually universal enough to reliably carry a meaning across (Snow White is very different from Mulan and they're both very different from the main characters in Frozen). Like calling something "tumblr."

That's why I take it differently coming from her fans.  It helps that I've known Hanako for awhile and that sounds like her sense of humor.  

 

Hmm, good point.

[Lady Artifice]

It's funny, a few topics bother me on this site, but even as a Cass fan, this is one complaint I brush aside. I just think it's funny and move on. I don't pay attention to half of these threads. Their loss if they think she's ugly. I'm actually more annoyed when people ARE romancing Cass, but then say weird ****, like they want a threeway with Iron Bull. I think that's off her list.

 

I'm so surprised that's the one that gets under your skin.

Saw the word Disney thrown around a lot already posted a drunk princess so rainbow drinks are next.

*shrugs*

Please don't get him started on that lol

[AresKeith]

No, no.. I'm not going to get into Qunari hate. lol

I'm talking about her not being interested in Iron Bull in their banters. Yet someone still wishing a threeway. It's like they don't even care or consider that.

That's Bioware's fanbase for ya, they ship anything that's makes no sense

[Lady Artifice]

That's just a random example. I mean, I just find it more annoying when people romance her, but then say things that are inconsistent with anything she wants. Like they didn't even pay attention to the game. It's better to hate her than to romance her without paying attention to anything. Both are kind of shallow gamers... just in different ways.

 

Perfectly fair. I still had to brace myself for insults about a few of my favorites, like Dagna and Dorian, but I've gotten significantly thicker skinned since I started posting on the BSN.

I have followed the thread but I'm just disapointed at OP's revelation that the thread as once again about how unpretty Cass and Josie are and not about Isabela's other LI qualities than her looks and that the comparisation between Bela and Dorian was just because of their attractiviness as well ^^;

Have ship, will travel.

David Gaider once joked that if they put mailboxes in the game, some fans would want to romance it.

Yep, are they all blind, she's clearly in love with Varric!

The phrase?  It doesn't bother me.  It's the connotation of it used in relation to a complaint, that somehow her romance is more childish.  I've watched it and it seemed more inspired by classical literature.  I also don't think it sums up her romance at all.  If anything, I think the phrase is being used to dismiss any and all mature themes that are in her romance arc because of elements that Disney popularized in the 20th century.  

 

I also am familiar with her fans calling her that.  Which is weird, but I'm not judging them.  It's the people (usually those that start those posts by proclaiming that they are straight men) that call her that and then start going off on why she "isn't good enough" and that "straight men got the shaft" that I question.

 

I disagree with the complaint, because frankly I've seen too many folks state that and then start asking for more explicit sex scenes.  The biggest complaint I heard about Josie's romance was that there was no sex scene.    The term "Disney Romance" usually follows after that complaint.  So it's hard for me to take that complaint seriously.   I've seen far too many posters claim that having a classical style duel and no sex scene made her a "Disney Romance." 

 

 I've personally seen a lot of folks with constructive posts who explained very well why they felt the content of Josephine like a dysney romance. I personally think it is a bit true actually.  The classical style duel isn't the issue itself, it's how it was portrayed like an anime that was the issue. ( I love you, jump in my arms, the atmosphere, etc etc ) There are also other details I could explain, But I don't want to argue about Josephine in a useless topic that doesn't concern her. 

 

I've also seen in the josephine thread people who said that they liked Josephine for what I said above.   

 

The biggest complaint I've seen about Josephine personally is that people found her content or her personality boring, not written for adults. The lack of sex scene is also often mentioned but not alone. It just adds to what they disliked overall about her romance, it was hardly the only reason why they totally disliked her romance. 

 

You also have other people who just find her ugly, but I wasn't talking about them. 

 

Anyways, I'm not going to argue, I just wanted to know why you felt so strong.
