Well I'm gay and I don't really like scarfs and golden jewelries. Stereotypes ftw!

I think so, yes. Or if not, I could definitely see it.

I'm also pretty sure Anders is gay. I mean, come on, the gifts you can give him include a knitted scarf, golden jewelry, and a kitten! And what he says when you give him gifts is just so...well, I don't know, I could be wrong, it's just a theory. Don't get me wrong, I love my dear sparkle-fingers.

Nah, he's just a lesbian in a man's body.

I thought lesbians like flannel and tools...? *sighs* I'll never keep up...

Will and Grace, ftw!

They remind me of the gay couple that own the hair salon my boyfriend works at. Epic win.

I have to say that the comparisons to gay people in real life are a bit unsettling. Fact is that queer identity exists as an integral part of modern culture, dependent on our current gender roles, our current media, our current wiew of sex and identity, and is very dependent on class.



Wade and Herren live in a magical version of medieval Europe with radically different gender roles and sexual politics, and even if we were to think of Fereldern as more similar to how Europe was then, the very idea of sexual preference as identity wouldn't exist for a few centuries yet. Not to mention that even if two merchants were to see enough of the higher classes to get a grip on their gender stereotypes (that is, the sing song talking), why would they apply those stereotypes to themselves? More importantly, in a land where people don't seem ot care who you have sex with, why would anyone make the association between gay men and femininty.



Overhtinking much? Well, no. This is just me explaining why it makes no sense to defend someone's behaviour in Fereldern with how people act in the real world. If there was a good reason explaining why they behave like they do, that would be fine, even subversive to see because it would introduce the general public to the thoughts around queer identity. This comes across as if the limp wrist is in the DNA of gay men, and I find it offensive.

I just wanted to say that on a personal level and as a parent the fact that we live in a society where two characters can be written as gay without any worry for whether it's accetpable or if it will upset anyone makes me very happy.

In Darkspawn Chronicles, If you try to kill Wade and Herren, Herren will turn into a Desire Demon and it will teleport Wade and itself away.



Guess they're not as gay as they look....at least Harren isn't.

Maybe so, still gotta admit it makes for some pretty cool possibilities for future game content and what have you.

Necro'd.

Herren could have made a deal with a Desire Demon the same way Connor did. Explanation solved.
