IDK, no-one has tried to ride my ass yet over using the bi cassandra mod but I'm also not very involved or 'big' in the DA fandom so I imagine most people do not care.

I like Sera but I don't want to romance her and the noblelady is too flat and come on cassandra is awesome, who doesn't want to romance that?!

The creator of that mod, for whatever reason, was targeted liek whoa and just completely run out of fandom.

But here's the thing, was Cassandra straight? If she was, then that's the difference here. Dorian and Sera ARE gay and the bi and straight mods are seem as synonymous with conversion therapy.

Which, over all, yeah changing a characters sexuality is a shitty thing to do...if this weren't a game that is entirely based on YOUR character choices and, as far as the PC version is concerned, able to be modded. And since this is a game that isn't an MMO or able to played with multiple people (as far i know)...it doesn't affect the other people? They aren't using teh mod, so...those characters aren't changed? Not to mention the core canon is the same and will not be changed.

I dunno. It's turned into a giant crusade and clusterfuck and I just...ugh. This one particular user is really hardheaded and now she wants to plaster me all over the net as some evil scum of some sort.

Oh well.

Yeah I think Cassandra is straight (or secretly racist against quanari idk I've not gotten far yet) but I was really sad when I google "bi cassandra mod" because I had the grand idea of modding my game and it was just historical wank galore :(
I feel so bad for that person, no-one did that to the bi-alistair mod that I recall in DA???

Granted yeah the other way around has major awkward implications, like sure if you wanna mod your game like that go ahead but probably don't want to talk too much about it in fandom circles because eep. Especially sicne as far as I am aware cassandra's sexuality is NOT a major part of her story/personality but Dorian and Sera are? (pls note, have only met dorian once so far so going off what i've read)

((I am a very slow player))

:( Disengage and ignore? Then hopefully they'll come off as some sort of obsessed nutso

Normally I'm all for "everyone is bi"-mods but they have to make sense for the characters. Like with DG, no matter what choices I make they don't change the past of the other characters. And big part of Dorian's personal storyline is how his father tried to make him straight because he wouldn't - couldn't - pretend he was attracted to women. To the point that he had to leave his country to get away. That's not something you casually get over just because you fall in love.

Even if the fandom wasn't so SJW I still think there'd be backlash. It's at the very least incredibly tone deaf to not consider how changing a character's sexuality that had such an impact on his background affects everything else, especially when said impact wouldn't have been as bad if he was bi. So unless the modder either rewrote his background or added additional lines/story dealing with the consequences of realizing he's not completely gay/has an exception... It's still wrong that the modder got death threats, but I'm not surprised at the backlash.
