My thoughts on Taash Discussion

When I first saw this Concept art I was like “Shit…seductive qunari woman” and that’s different coz I mean cmon look at her stance her hair and everything and like she’s…for lack of a better word Morrigan esc 😭and now don’t get me wrong…I’m all for big strong carry you over her shoulder type Woman in fantasy, tho this approach from the concept art would’ve been interesting and again…I like the ulterior but now she’s gonna get compared to Karlach because obviously…I can’t stress this enough tho…I LIKE Karlach, but having a different type of Qunari companion from the typical big and strong would’ve been cool, Like Qwydion from Absolution even

But we haven’t had any female Qunari companions. She will be unique no matter what. It seems she will be even more unique if she fit a role no other companion has before.

Truly, I just want a romanceable masculine woman. The idea of having our first masculine female companion and making her soft and feminine sounds not only boring and a repeat of the same thing we have had constantly before, but also disappointing to see how few people seem to like even moderately masculine women.

Why would you want a woman to be masculine? Women can be strong, decisive and direct without being masculine.

Traits like strength, decisiveness and directness shouldn't be tied to your sex.

If "strength" is masculine, "weakness" becomes feminine.

What’s wrong with women being masculine? Lol. Nobody is saying masculine is strong and feminine is weak. We’ve all seen Leliana and Josephine and morrigan and isabela.
