I haven�t read all the comments on this post as can�t bare to read more hate, but just wanted to agree that people�s treatment of Gale is beyond horrible, making him the butt of every joke and thinking that sui**ide and mental/emotional abuse is funny, thinking treating him like shit or using him for his body or telling him to off himself is funny,.. I mean it�s so behind wrong I can�t even put it into words. I don�t understand why people hate him, he honestly doesn�t talk anymore than the other companions, and is such a nice person if people bothered to see him for who he is. He is a very relatable and loveable character, I adore him so much and am so disgusted to see how the community seems to treat him. If people said/did these things to a real person they would never get way with it, and while yes this a game, just because something isn�t real or theoretical, doesn�t mean it�s any less harmful or toxic. Not enough people defend Gale, and from some stuff I�ve read, not even the game defends him, rather makes fun of his feelings and problems, because apparently Gale�s, and men�s feelings in general, don�t matter according to the game. Astarion has problems and issues, and yet everyone is supportive of him, yet Gale is treated like garbage by comparison who has some similar issues himself. I very much believe in justice for Gale, the man has the most beautiful heart and soul, and I would go to the ends of the earth to protect him. I just wish people would see him for who he really is, but more so stop the disgusting toxic abusive hateful behaviour towards him, if you don�t like his character, then just leave him alone, it�s that simple. Because going out of your way to abuse him physically and mentally, or pushing him to sui**de, then laughing about it, is beyond wrong by any moral standard.
