The latest entry in the fantasy role-playing franchise "Dragon Age" allows players to make their character trans-identifying and features a scene where one character is forced to atone for “misgendering” someone by performing a series of push-ups.

“Dragon Age: The Veilguard” is the fourth installment in a video game franchise released by Electronic Arts that started in 2009 with the release of “Dragon Age: Origins.”

One of the game’s developers, BioWare, announced the launch of the latest chapter in the "Dragon Age" series on Halloween, explaining that they "cannot wait to see the deeply personalized characters you’ll create, the inventive ways you’ll combat your foes, and the decisions you’ll make that shape your adventure.”

The scenes are pretty funny for a medieval fantasy game set in a world where the main sociological division is between Humans and Knif... I mean elves. I love the first Dragon age game and it isn't exactly a conservative or Traditionalist game, but it depicts a compelling Fantasy world and to see this game just blatantly and shamelessly insert modern transgender politics into the game, it's weak writing. It's someone who has to insert their pet preferences or ideology into their work without it being at all relatable and it feels like propaganda. In terms of messaging alone, there are better ways to go about putting themes you want to explore. I don't recall being subject to a lecture on the moral rightness of homosexual relationships in the first, they were just there as an option and that subtlety works far more effectively than whatever this game is doing.

Beyond that I kind of resent the change of the story from Inquisition which set up a character from that game being the main antagonist and the Human and Elves going to war over the future of Thedas. I was actually anticipating the latest Dragon Age for years but the radical change in tone and style compared to the previous entries (especially DAO), is what ultimately decided it for me. That first trailer was such a disappointment. Oh well, I'll just play a real game like Space Marine II.

They also apparently retconned the previous games in the franchise in order to cater to this game's plot. Which feels like an insult as well.

Seems they are going to condition the populace in every available avenue.
I’m just sick of it.

Men are men
Women are women
There are only two genders
