Newsflash, gay people can be flawed, can be evil, can be good, can be pure angels. There's nothing different between us and heterosexuals. We are not 'special'.

'Good queer rep'. Holy hell. This is why most people are afraid to make gay people flawed in media lately and it gets VERY stale, fast. I'd take flawed characters who happen to be gay over 'gay = automatically good' easily.

And he's ascended. He gets quite mad, he killed all those poor spawns just so he can ascend. He gets possessive. That's the point of his other ending, his evil one.
Don't want all of this? Don't ascend him.

Hard same.


Sincerely, a lesbian. Just in case you accuse me of being a homophobe, like you are accusing Larian of right now.

+1, another lesbian here. Give me a flawed character with some good story, gay or not, I honestly don't care. But for the love of god, people really need to stop this "good queer rep" bullshit. It's not doing any favors to us. AT ALL.


And yes, enough with Astarion already. You don't like new Ascended Astarion animations, don't go that route, no one is forcing you to choose it.
