bubonickitten replied to your post: also the mages are a terrible metaphor…

it’s incredible how people don’t realize that “they’re dangerous” IS an argument used against real-life oppressed groups… FOR EXAMPLE, MENTALLY ILL PEOPLE, AND WHAT ARE MAGES CODED AS?? goddamn this fandom is awful sometimes

be glad you didn’t see the rest of the post. the op said anders would be the type of lgbt activist to hate butch lesbians/flamboyant gay men/promiscuous bisexuals and would blame their oppression on them, held anders accountable for the same goddamn terrible shit some of the rest of your party is accountable for (like fenris being mean to merrill and literally telling her she’d be better off dead bUT YOU KNOW FENRIS HAS NO ACCOUNTABILITY YET AGAIN), didn’t even bother to address how heteronormative/ableist/biphobic the writing was but its not hepler’s fault it’s anders’s bc ~white boy~. OP is apparently a rad fem though and apparently they talk out of their ass a lot of the time, but i pretty much didn’t give that post any real credibility once they dropped the lgbt bomb and said mages aren’t coded like real oppressed groups—which is laughable and it sounds like OP didn’t even play the game.
