Re: fandom pet peeves

This is mostly Bioware specific, but applies to some other games as well. People getting all up in arms about choices you make in RPGs. "If you choose option A you're an oppressor who probably eats kittens in real life", "if you romance character B you support abuse and should be locked up", and so forth.

I am one of those weirdos who roleplay in their roleplaying games (crazy huh?) so when I pick an asshole option it's because I play my character as an asshole, not because I want to fap at the suffering of pixels (oddly enough, less vitriol gets thrown towards Sims players who delete pool ladders). But nope, for these people, making certain chioces will automatically mean you're the antichrist. In fact, it doesn't even need to be the asshole option, just the option they personally didn't pick.
