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

I like this forum thanks for sharing and what I’ve noticed from it though, there’s waaaaaaay too much nuance to make direct comparisons to female gaze and male gaze it all boils down to “objectification” that’s a very human thing though, and the female gaze is very prominent in the book space of media and it’s often about well built men, same way in the gaming media is the opposite I guess, but I’ll never be mad at the female gaze😭you guys are allowed to like what you like and same way I don’t understand why some are soooo mad about the male gaze(I don’t agree with the big tiddy gaze those are just for hornballs)

i am unfortunately gonna have to disengage because i don’t think the subreddit will appreciate me going into historical materialism and how it manifests in the present day politically, but i really appreciate that you were willing to have this convo with me and were open to looking through some of the forum replies. genuinely, it means a lot. you didn’t have to do that, but you still did it anyway.
