I will always be in favor of playersexuality. Until the day game designers have more nuanced understandings of sexuality.

Game designers still only understand flamboyant gay, mean lesbian, slutty bisexual, and quirky queer. Any identities not those are not even recognized. And any complex characterizations are only afforded to "normal" straight characters.

While Larian gave us a step in the right direction, they are still coming from the above framework and trying to reiterate upon that. And you have to understand that framework in order to recognize why their implementation is still somewhat shallow while still being the best offered compared to other games in the genre.

In the past, every time I encountered a woman in a romanceable video game who correctly represents my own experience of bisexual/pansexual identity, she was only romanceable by male characters.

These are women who have tough exteriors on a spectrum of "bitchy femme", a midpoint of "aloof androgynous", to "tough masc". All points that are gnc in some way, but all are women who also have a soft interior that is interpreted as conventionally feminine.

Game designers interpret these two traits (outward gnc and inner softness) as a nullification to heterosexual woman. Time and time again. Falling into the stereotype of being a woman for a man to tame.

Will they ever understand? Or do people as a whole just don't understand the many ways bisexuality can take shape?

#back in EA people were wanting exclusive sexualities for the characters #and while Lae in particular is perfect as a pan character #i think if larian made exclusive sexualities for the companions #they would have made her straight despite gith pansexuality #there is so much in her writing that skews into a heterosexual framework #where dominating her is a viable path in her romance #a less het framework can still play with the need for protection and the arousal of anothers strength #as providing her a space for feeling strong and supported while feeling “weak”#while still getting off and feeling safe not always “being on top” in w/e manner that entails #but in game its still laced with a power dynamic/conquering/taming framework rather than emotional safety in vulnerability #playersexuality #video games #i will never forgive bioware for this phenomenon #over and over #every one of their games has this character #i will always download mods making these women bi #kotor bastilla #kotor atris #kotor handmaiden #mass effect cora #dragon age aveline #dragon age cassandra #mixing fandoms #forever mad about cassandra pentaghast

I would have killed the galaxy to preserve you. I would have let the galaxy die. You are more rare than you know, and what you have taught yourself must not be allowed to die.

And it is for that that I love you.
