Dragon Age™: The Veilguard is a Return To Form

[rusty_shackleford]

Being gay is gross therefore it was illegal for nearly all of history.

[TKVNC]

As for homosexuality, it was very much prosecuted wherever it was found, people did not "look the other way" as such, people were burnt to death publically, beaten to death (if it was in the Military). Even during the Republic, when the laws were arguably more lenient - they were still fined harshly, and beaten.

A lot of people rely on poor recording of Roman law as a basis of how lenient they were, but going back as far as the "Twelve Tablets" it was illegal. There is little reason to assume this changed, only because later jurisprudence was not recorded well - especially when, once recording begins again, the exact same traditions reappear; applying Occam's Razor works well here, I think.

If looking at the military, you are absolutely correct. But this was rather because it was considered "a defeat" to get raped. The "infamia" (the one who got penetrated) would very often end up that way yes, and the penetrator would receive punishment for disobeying orders and weakening morale. And in some cases end up with the same fate as the "infamia".

Remember, they did not speak in the terms of "homosexual" and such words - these are in themselves anachronistic.

But a wealthy senator who had slaves could very well in the confines of his home rape both male and female slaves as he pleased, generally without fear of being punished for it. Prostitution existed, both female and male prostitutes. Not necessarily in bath houses, but it would occur there as well.
And as long as one was the "penetrator" ("the one showing strength") and not the one getting penetrated ("the infamia") , among the populace one had a far more safe existence before the christian roman empire, than after it was established (and lost to invaders after that again).

Both people in the Army were beaten to death with Clubs though. Not just the penetrated. It was also not because it was disobeying orders, or weakening morale, but because it was considered immoral.

I am aware "homosexual" is anachronistic, the Romans did not have a word for it specifically, as far as we know - it was merely thrown in with Immorality - the Greeks may have had one though.

As for wealth, and the law, that's been true since the start of civilisation - you can flaunt the rules if you have enough power, that's true today as well.

Both the fall of rome and the french revolution were positives for gay ****** libtards though, just not for anyone else.

You're projecting modern viewpoints into history - even ancient history. That's stupid. And positively wrong. Don't be stupid and wrong.
By around 500 AD there were no "gay ****** libtards" and I can assure you for people who were gay, life in the old roman empire before christianity was a far easier existence than the one they endured in both the christian empire and the mayhem that followed its fall.

This is a very gay ****** libtard thing to say.

[fkirenicus]

Yeah don't talk to me you apeman. I don't even have to pretend I care about what some libs taught you about rome.

Back in those days academia was a sane place. So no, I wasn't taught by "libs". However, in those days we learned how things were - not how they had been perceived ages past (in which things were seen in a predominantly religious/cultural context, in our part of the world, Christian), nor how one wanted them to have been (such as much of the academia today behave, unfortunately).

It's not so much "immoral" as for the simple fact that for a tribe that wants to grow, it's literally counter-productive.

Contrary to the belief of some of the more insane liberals, a man and a man cannot conceive. A woman and a bull cannot conceive.
The punishments for what we call homosexuality today both in Leviticus and several other cultures were meant to be deterrent; if a tribe wanted to grow, they needed more members. Homosexual activity does not create more members. Sodomy does not create more members.
Both the israelites in the desert led by Moses and the early romans on the 7 hills knew this.
The reason it becomes a more fundamental question between "right" and "wrong" for OT Israel, is that their neighbors practiced both sodomy and homosexuality (though they used one and the same word for it, which is in itself interesting). And they had many gods. The israelites, wanting themselves really to appear as "God's chosen people", distanced themselves from both "sodomy" and polytheism - and it became a fundamental pillar for christianity and later islam as well.

For the western world, numbering hundreds of millions of people, the need to (re)grow is in fact growing, but instead of doing something with our problem which basically is that we cannot uphold our population with the current birth rates (partly due to abortions), our politicians rather want to subsitute us with immigrants, so as not to "cause anxiety among LBGTIOQZZZXXXXXX+++++++ or what-it's-called nowadays) people. And of course, "anti-racists". Despite that each and every statiscal bureau in every bloody country here in Europe can prove them wrong, the left and the elites scoff at the "great replacement" as a "right-wing conspiracy", and at the same time they cheer when "isn't it marvellous that this class has only 1% white europeans in it? We love diversity!" followed by a psycho-smiling emoji.

The western world is in fact at that very same point as the ancient isralites and romans were. So far, to my knowledge, only Hungary has taken steps to encourage more children to be born. And just like it was in the ancient world, despite what liberals think, this still requires a man and a woman.
While in America and many countries in Europe, they are considering making it even easier to get abortions, and allow abortions ever longer - in some places, right up until birth. It's insane.

Amazing, a topic exists that fkirenicus can discuss without being incompetent and ********

Luuv you too, you BULL of man, you.

I wonder if people in 1000 years will think that there was a 50% ****** population in the US at the beginning of the 21st millennium and that ******* and ****** where 50% total across all the demographics as well, given their over representation in media.

Some folks I have talked to in the past are left amazed that ******* are only about 13% of the population, specially considering their crime statistics. And that the entire alphabet clown car is less than 8% considering how much media and corpos seem to pander to them.

That's why I just don't believe the claims about the Greeks and the Romans tolerating faggotry. There's hard evidence it was prosecuted, ridiculed and not socially acceptable. This is also seen in many other cultures across the board throughout history.

[Shillitron]

UH OH....






Someone at Bioware in trouble!!!

[Shillitron]

****** Era Xisters... Are we gonna make it...?

AY.. AYE YO... I HEARD U MAKIN SUM BIGOTTED COMMENTS.. U FINNAE BE BARVIN FOR REAL.

What about comparing it to origins?

[UltraFan123]

****** Era Xisters... Are we gonna make it...?

Again they are showing that they never really cared about games made for them, they only want us normal people to lose.

[Finarfin]

@logincrash You did beat Veilguard iirc, did Lucanis ever curse in spanish? I was doing his recruitment mission and he, at one point, said "mierda"

[Unhelpful Contrarian]

**** you Veilguard. Not only did you not warn me that doing certain quests auto fails ,you structure it in a way which makes all quest in that region unavailable.

[Finarfin]

What the **** did they do to Dorian?

[fkirenicus]

What the **** did they do to Dorian?

Bioware probably got sued by the relatives of Freddie Mercury.

Another question we should demand an answer from Bioware for is "on a scale from 1 to very very much, how insanely drunk was the art director for Veilguard when he ...sorry, THEY!! ... approved of the art style in this "game"?"

And that the entire alphabet clown car is less than 8% considering how much media and corpos seem to pander to them.

That seems suspiciously high at 8%.

[Xenich]

It is I think. Pre-Gender identity marketing, homosexuals made up less than 2 percent, if that. Most of the numbers on this group is just fad crap polling manipulation and not a realistic representation.

[Finarfin]

So weird that Neve actually seems like a nice character, bit boring but so far Bellara, Neve, Harding and Lucanis are not exactly what I would call detestable/disgusting. Traash is the worst of the worst and I'm sure the rest of the companions like Davrin and Emmrich are also ok.

Also, I wish I could mod this game and give her a nice pair of tits, that outfit is perfect for that kind of display of tits.

Yes, I did and yes, I also noticed the "mierda" thrown in there. I don't think it was his recruitment mission, but I do remember thinking how there shouldn't be outright Spanish in Dragon Age after hearing him curse.

[jebacdrkac]

What the **** did they do to Dorian?

Wholesome. Bioware has evolved a lot since Inquisition. Now, they don’t just hate attractive women—they hate attractive men as well.

It's funny how they even ruined the posterfag of Inquisition lol.

I would rank the companions like this:
Harding > Emmrich > Lucanis > Bellara > Neve > Davrin > stale dogshit > Traash.
Harding is solid (not particularly dazzling, just okay). Emmrich and Lucanis are alright if a bit simple. Bellara starts off as insufferable but is elevated above the rest by the virtue of not being as ****. Neve and Davrin are not only boring but also suffer from being ugly (pajeeta and ****** elf). The rest is self-explanatory.
Modding this game is pointless, like putting up new wallpaper in a house teeming with termites.

Yes, that's why I said it's "less than 8%". Last time I checked, the entirety of the alphabet "CoMmUnItY" was around 7.2% in the US. That's counting every mentally ill degenerate in there, ****, dikes, ****** and all the rest, like the asexuals and hermaphrodites (who now want to be called intersex) and the "queers" which is what the "Q" stands for so basically everything that used tumblr. They claim its growing fast but I assume even those numbers are bogus as a lot of young people use their "gEnDeR iDeNtItY" as a tag to feel they belong and to be praised and applauded by an in-group because as teens they have feelings of alienation. Of course, that's when they are losers and social outcasts. Back then, they would just dressed up in black leather and call themselves "goths" or some ****.

Regardless of the actual number in the clown car, its still below 8% so not even cracking 2 digits and that's with the US being a country that celebrates and enshrines the people inside the clown car. That's how little their actual numbers are. And they have to be grouped all together in that clown car to even get to that number, even though they have tons of in-fighting and basically all the letters hate each other as much as they hate themselves, again, because they are mentally ill degenerates.

But when normie cattle hear the actual number, they get extremely surprised. Most would assume their population is way, way higher due to their extreme over representation in media and corpo pandering. They get a whole ******* month!

Same with *******, but at least they crack the 2 digits.

[Rand]

Same with *******, but at least they crack the 2 digits.

Informative

For now. their share is dwindling yearly as they are replaced by the *****.
