Bio(ware)feedback 2/8/25

If you are: 1) in a Bioware fandom, 2) want fic comments/engagement, this event is for you!

Directions:

Reblog this post with a link to your fic

I will reblog that for exposure, and I will leave kudos & comment on your fic. It will probably take several days to get through everyone. Thank you for your patience!

This will start at noon MST and go until midnight MST. Check the time here!

That's it! If you're looking for a longer explanation & guidelines, they're here, but I'm trying to keep things short and simple today!

Thanks for sharing your work!

CONFESSION:

I sometimes wonder if people know there's a difference between loving A character and loving THE character. For my example, there's characters like Sten, Logain, Solas, and many others. I love how they're written and I love them as a character, but can't stand them as a person. They're all very fascinating and complex people and I love how they're written and are some amazing characters. But as people, I can't stand them and in real life would want nothing to do with them.

Me: Hey maybe harassing voice actors over writing they have no control over is bad.

Bioware fans: Hmmm sounds homophobic :/

BioWare fandom: fuck anthem! I can't and won't play it because I don't have any friends!

me, who's watched the insane amounts of toxicity, negativity, and outright garbage behavior in this fandom for years: that sounds like a personal problem

I don’t think I have actually posted any pictures from Magic City Con and its been a month since the shenanigans went down! I didn’t get many pictures outside of a few room selfies while waiting for roommates to finish getting ready. I honestly got too swept up in the fun. If you’ve never been to Magic City Con, it’s one of the few cons where there is never a dull moment and you are never NOT surrounded by a feeling of family and coming home. I am so introverted and shy but I come out of my shell here for sure. I already can’t wait until next year! Dates for 2019 are June 21-23rd. If you are a Bioware fan, we even have our own track! And we get to run our own panels. My favorites this year were Are you Smarter than a Templar where my team had 2 minutes to dress me as a Templar(which mine won!) and we answered trivia questions and played a Dragon Age version of CAH. Things got Hawkward XD. And Dragon Age Murder Mystery Theater! It was a must see con event and is happening again next year! 2019 can’t come fast enough!

CONFESSION:

I’ve seen a lot of people consistently complain about the fandom. At this point, I think it’s becoming toxic to themselves, because they’re becoming as confrontational as the people they vent about. I blame inadequate moderation for why juvenile behavior grows in some sites.

But people can just befriend individual fans and only talk with them. They can make small communities they can mod better than other sites, or just leave the sites altogether. Not saying all options are easy, but they at least lessen the problem of dealing with toxic people.

I complained about the fandom a lot, too. But it wasn’t making me happy. I just wanted the guilty pleasure of winning an argument, and I was giving those people too much of the attention they wanted. Sometimes we do need to vent, and I thank this blog for that. Other times, I think we let the people we vent about control our feelings too much.

This pic best captures my feelings on all this. I wrote this hoping it could change someone’s mind, the same way someone once changed mine. Thanks for reading.

Confessor Included a Note:  

Note to Mods: first, you don’t have to include this note in the post lol Secondly, thank you again :) This job cannot be easy, and I can only guess how worse it would be without you all. This blog really helped me realized how argumentative I used to be, and how unproductive such behavior was.

bioware: we have another patch coming out!

half the fandom: too bad no one plays it anymore because it’s downright AWFUL what with the.. the animations and… giant places… the hair looks weird

me: buddy… pal… please.. shut the fuck up if you don’t like it, fine, but you don’t need to bitch about it like you do as if you could do better. at least they try to improve it

Dear Assholes

WHAT THE FUCK. Seriously Does it make you feel better to harass and threaten Tom Taylorson (Scott Ryder's voice actor) because he said "maybe" when asked if Jaal was bi, but then Jaal turned out to be straight? HE DIDNT KNOW. The only thing voice actors are told is to record the lines they're given, and some of them aren't even used in the game, like Jaal's gay romance lines for example. Also, those people hating on Cora for having a "gay haircut" and being straight? newsflash! It's a fucking haircut. Stop sexualizing lengths of hair. It makes you look stupid. Get over yourselves. The world doesn't revolve around your pathetic opinions about how things should be. Literally no one cares.
