#anders hate

[breadedsinner]

Wow 15 years of the internet trying to convince me Anders is attractive. Can you believe it.

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

Since I’m back on this blog, I’m going to save everyone a lot of time:

You are never going to convince me that it’s okay for white men* to blow up houses of worship if only they feel wronged somehow.

Never. Don’t try. In fact, I really wish that some of you would step back from this fandom’s toxic landscape and, at a safe distance, ask yourselves if you really believe that it’s okay to blow up houses of worship if only you feel sufficiently wronged, or if you’re just afraid of the middle-school bullying and name-calling that certain hard-core Anders stans jump to at the first sign of someone having a slightly different opinion than they do.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with liking Anders as a character. I don’t, personally, but my current icon is Gellert Grindelwald and his husband. I get it. However, there is a difference between liking a character and claiming that their actions are okay.

*If you think I’m going to entertain a debate about whether or not the pale-skinned strawberry-blond with a Scandinavian name was intended to be something other than white, you are very wrong. That said, I do not think that it is okay for anyone, of any race or gender, to commit acts of terrorism. But I do find it interesting that the character the fandom latched onto as “proof” that it’s okay to commit indiscriminate murder if you’re oppressed is a white man.

Hey Dragon Age fans: can 2020 be the year people stop trying to deny that Anders is a terrorist? Like you can agree with his motives if you want but please acknowledge that he is, by definition, a terrorist.

remember when Anders attempted to murder a traumatized mage girl because she didn't show him the proper gratitude he was entitled to? that was so revolutionary of him. we stan a woke king.

I actually first learned about it from @gothic-princess-witch.

And yeah, it’s unbelievably awful.

its been so long but my friend decided to play da2 and i remembered how much i despise anders and just had to log in...

Friendly reminder that Anders gains friendship points and approves if you GIVE FENRIS BACK TO DANARIUS AS A SLAVE
