Dragon Age Inquisition was mentioned in an article in the April 10 L.A.Times in the second paragraph. Does not mention Krem by name but does mention transgender character. The article is about Bruce Jenner and his transitioning.

Wow, people are awful.
Yeah. I agree.
Unfortunate that SJW pandering is what gets a game mainstream attention, not storytelling, game quality, gameplay, etc. etc.
Just like every media group obsesses over GTA V's "social commentary" but never mentions anything else.

I wouldn´t describe it as "SJW pandering".
It´s not bad to have some social justice for a change. It shows people they are not harmed by it.

As do I.
Games have a great potential to explore many different issues and I hope that the inclusion of these characters in a mainstream game will encourage a developer to use the medium to explore challenges that people face in their lives.
Just like all other mediums there is room for both the fun games and the games that explore aspects of society.
Papo Yo is an amazing example of how a game can creatively explore a difficult issue like having an abusive parent.

How is the inclusion of one proper representation of a trans character pandering?
Was Serendipity in DA2 pandering or was it ok, because Serendipity was poorly done? Was the inclusion of Maevaris in the comics pandering?
That is it btw, Serendipity, Maevaris and Krem, the 3 named transgendered characters in the DA Universe.
It's not like they took an existing character, that we knew wasn't trans and then made them trans, BioWare created a whole new character, who they decided to make trans.
That is not pandering.
Apparently, pandering = including any character that isn't a straight white male.
Sigh

Double sigh.

I wish the constant bashing of straight white males would stop.
Heathen, if someone states an opinion you don´t agree with that is no reason to discriminate against a group of people.

I don't view it as discriminating, I viewed as more of a joke.
There's no hope for you.
There's no hope for you, if you don't explain why they are wrong respectfully and instead condemn someone who's wrong. This is why the internet is mostly a cesspool. People a) Don't know how to take a joke or b ) Insult them because of a comment they made that may or may not have been intended to be offensive.
There's no hope for you.
Uh-huh.
In order to "bash" a group of people I would actually have to say something negative about said group.
Pointing out that there are certain people in the gaming community who regard any representation of non-white, non-straight characters as "SJW pandering" isn't "bashing straight white males."
Seesh. Some people certainly are eager to be offended today.......

I think he is being serious. For me...people from both side of that fence are painfully annoying...
One side is - "OMG gay people everywhere, they gonna make my kids gay and me, they want to make me gay too"
And other side is - " Streight white males are ruining the world for everyone, they are racist, misogynistic and homophobic monsters and we need to end their patriarchal system."
To be honest, if i could put you all people on a rocket and launch you to the frakking sun, because i cant play, read or watch anything without you guys hijacking it.
Uh-huh.

There is no such people here Mulder!
I was more poking fun at the fact sometimes our words can be misinterpreted by other people. Which is why I said there is no hope. If one can't see that our own jokes might be misinterpreted by others, then there is no hope.

Or they don't bother reading what's ACTUALLY written and instead prefer to respond what they THINK was written.

Misunderstandings lead to interesting conversations, amirite?
