I don't bother with the fandom, but I actually was a little annoyed at how stereotypically camp gay he was written and voiced, to a certain extent. It's not that extreme, but it was still there. And his main personal quest was (SPOILER) basically "daddy doesn't accept I'm gay", which in the way it was written was pretty terrible for him but it still did't help with the "he's all about the 'gay'" impression.

No, it wasn't. It was "to be gay in Tevinter you have to live a lie and pretend while having secret sex, preferably with slaves" and Dorian didn't accept living like that.

Yeah alright so it was "daddy and the society I come from didn't accept me being gay" which still has the more or less same effect. I'm not saying that this was all the character was about but I can see where people may have gotten that impression from.

Well, the point is more that it's a society based on appearances. If Dorian had been straight or bi and refused to marry and procreate, or wanted to marry someone that wasn't approved, he would have been a pariah as well. His parents' marriage was a convenience business deal that Dorian clearly didn't want to re-enact.

it's interesting to say that because before the personal quest it's never mentioned he's gay, he freely flirts with the female inquisitor too.

so y'know, not all about the gay
