Moving on to the part about male sexism on those boards and teenage males opening dozens of threads about boob size. It's not important if it was teenage girls or males who started those, although we all know girls chat faster -) (yeah, joke, but call me sexist now if you like). I was following the boards when Dragon Age was new and yes, they changed faster than lines in a chatroom, with the most frequented topics being about character look and who's the cutest bunny and that. those boards appear like a chatroom with so much babbling about nonsense like, cough.

The 'girls part' was meaningless to me, I think those of us who stare in awe at the Bioware Social Community all get the bigger meaning. Up to the point where the first person argued about the truth behind the 'teenage girl' statement I can agree that the words weren't exactly well chosen. Now, short break here, to get that part out of the way. 'His breath of fresh air stinks for everyone else.' Unfortunately, a lot of people don’t seem to have caught on.' Which is clearly indicative that nobody should take them seriously, because that’s really self centered thinking and yeah. 'I think statements about how misogyny or other sorts of oppressiveness are “a breath of fresh air” are a bit indicative of what the person in question thinks the world should be like. Like tossca said, I… really don’t know where to start. 'I think I’m most amused/bewildered by the claim that political correctness is so rampant that games with sexist/oppressive settings and content are a “breath of fresh air”. That was apparently just feeding the fire and even took it over to other blogs with statements like. Not that I think that is a good thing in general, but it’s a breath of fresh occasionally.' 'I always like to use The Witcher as a good example of game that sails close to the edge to present a believable world, at the risk of offending or alienating significant groups of people. moving on in the comments it's getting too much to quote really, people got really upset about this one line and that Alazandar called The Witcher's gritty setting 'refreshing' compared to Bioware's 'we cater everyone' policy. Other points made in that comment are totally valid, it was just that I hadn't read the same into the post as this person did. 'But I'm sorry - the problem with the RPG community today is that teenage girls have 'taken over'? Are you serious?'

Seriously, in the whole context of that long post I didn't stumble over that one, or let's better say, I got the bigger meaning without assuming he's actually blaming girls for the downfall of all roleplaying communities. 'I see 300+ page threads dedicated to an upcoming companion's chest hair, and I wonder if the earnest D&D or RPG enthusiasts of the past are now huddling in a corner staring in slack-jawed terror at the teenage girls who have taken over the establishment.'Īahh. It raises some interesting thoughts really. Who would've thought it'd stir up the trouble it did? I don't ask you to read it all, instead I'll quote a few passages that lead to the argument. A few days ago I linked you people to Alazander's community check during my long Obsidian rant.
