a whole list about who shouldn’t like cullen in dai is irritating to see as a post but I felt better immediately realizing it was just an opinion and not objective fact

[corvidkusnos]

Everyone talks about how annoying Solas fans are but lbr the most insufferable DA fans are Anders fans

[viamutationis]

Did anyone else get introduced to these games as a teenager in super #mage rights circles and then, upon playing the games as an adult able to form their own opinions, realize Anders actually genuinely sucks. or is that just me

cullen’s romance being too sweet then you start shipping your oc w solas…

y’all take it way too personally when mages are written with flaws but not personally enough when people are racist in this fandom

ng| but there's far more criticism of cullen than anders especially these days. All the BNFs are anders glazers and stans and ran off a lot of BIPOC in the dragon age fandom with their racist antics.

The argument isn’t even about whether he's poorly written or handled either anymore imho as anders fans themselves hide behind him being "poorly written" whenever the situation suits them (ie anders approving of fenris being sold into slavery) or him being vehemently hated by the writers to excuse how utterly awful he is as a character and person when arguably there are worst treated races in the games themselves!!

obviously people in this fandom today weren't there when a lot of anders fans co-opted BLM and other black power movements to make anders seem as if he's this perfect revolutionary when in actuality he's a weird, emotionally manipulative, misogynistic racist who spends most of his time fucking whining about how oppressed he is when he’s a fucking white man who’s unbearable to talk to or fucking be around if you aren’t someone who thinks fandom is activism.

I’m really just sick and fucking tired of people being snooty as fuck and all *akshully cullen is well liked and super popular so you should be able to accept by dogshit criticism* just say you hate him and go yall are annoying af
