Had truly the best time talking about this absurd movie. I was frankly deeply fucking charmed by how silly this guy is... Too much to enjoy here for me to be actually mad at it.

I am not digging at anyone in particular truly but one of the ironies of the worker owned journalism movement is that it is born from instability that starts when bipoc journalists are laid off and then white editors are like “damn time to get off this sinking ship and start a bold indie venture”

Curiosity is an essential for any good bit of criticism. And what makes a great pan so satisfying to read is a clear curiosity matched with a ruthless investigatory instinct. When someone understands a work inside and out and despises it anyway, that‘s when hate can become a thing of beauty.

This is, perhaps, too complex a thought for this platform. Nevertheless, I would hope that we can recognize that transmisogyny is a bigotry anyone of any identity category can wield. The suggestion that some are more prone to it is an evasion of the pervasiveness of the problem.

Dragon Age: Origins is at once a game that is obnoxiously of its time, silly, juvenile, and ugly as sin. Yet, it is also forward-looking and adult in a way that AAA rpgs can struggle to be... It helps a lot to have Morrigan lol. Flat out one of the best-written characters in video games
