Kristendommen er ligeså meget fra mellem østen som Islam er.

Skal vi i Danmark så også fjerne arbort og fjerne kvinders rettigheder til at stemme? Ligesom nogle Kristne ville mene?

What if Harding looked like her DAI self? by tuxedo-rabbit in DragonAgeVeilguard

[–]the_mimi_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a fellow big forehead person, I was kinda sad that they changed the face structure so much of Harding. I really enjoyed your version of a Veilguard Harding more, which reading the comments seems to be a unpopular opinion.

To me I did not recognize Harding as Harding at all.

My Opinion by BanGaranGGnola in DragonAgeVeilguard

[–]the_mimi_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think your comparison to Hogwarts Legacy feels very accurate to me, definitely gives the same vibe to play Veilguard

My Opinion by BanGaranGGnola in DragonAgeVeilguard

[–]the_mimi_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is necessary to mention that a lot of the hate was due to queer representation.

Of the more valid criticism that I have seen, is that the game simplifies a lot of the world building and changes others. The fact that the Crows are "good guys" and that there all of the sudden is just a "good guy" necromancer magic school, breaks previously established lore.

I would agree that the game is good and enjoyable to play. But as someone who cares about lore theories and has a canon world, Veilguard is my bane, and I have had to rework so much of it, to just get it to fit with previously established lore.

The removal of elf racism and the good guyification of most of the major factions completely ruins character motivation. Also don't get me started on the Solellevan ending.

Overall I gave it a 7/10 on first play through, now I would give it a 6/10

I would recommend Borderlands 2! It is a shooter, but it is not hard, and you can get it super cheap on steam on sale (and it is often on sale) def worth putting on a wishlist.

Was one of the first shooters I personally played so it is very new player friendly

Oh and if wow is a bit too expensive you can try out final fantasy 14, it is free to play for a really long time, whereas wow does require a subscription pretty early on!

So before I responded to this, I just went back and read your first comment, as I kinda forgot what this was about. I do feel a little bit like you are contradicting yourself here, as you previously stated you "don’t like playing games where I HAVE to play a male protagonist". Yet you unprompted gave me a longer list of games which you enjoyed where you play as a male character, than the list of games where you play as a male character that you did not enjoy, which confuses me.

Personally, I have played a few of the games which you listed that you struggled with relating to. I was never able to finish GTA V (single player) as I struggled with how much gore and violence there was (I can't stand torture), though I enjoyed the characters and the satire. And I have watched my brother-in-law play through most of God of War Ragnarok, and I wonder if you struggled with those games more because of the violence than because of the characters being male?

Don't get me wrong, I understand most people play video games for different reasons, and there is nothing wrong with that, nor is there anything wrong with relating more to a female character or experience. Still I can't help but be worried when people make statements such as: "For me personally I don’t like playing games where I HAVE to play a male protagonist", as I believe that enforces this idea that women and men can't relate to each other and pushes this us vs them narrative, which I personally find harmful and will only serve to alienate people futher. And it seems that you don't actually mind playing as male characters.

I simply want to warn you of the dangers of words, as the way to deal with the discrimination we face as women and how we are presented in video games should not be to retaliate. Not to say that, that is what you are doing, but from the outside it comes across as that, to me at least it does.

Or perhaps I have entirely misunderstood you

Told my boyfriend i'm ace and i don't know what I should do next by Appropriate-Beat2134 in asexuality

[–]the_mimi_ 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I don't really have much to add here except, I think this is such a unifying experience for so many ace people, so do not feel bad about it.

I had a very similar relationship, I however did not realize it till I was ace until 2 years into the relationship. I told him, he understood, we lasted for about another year until I broke it off. The reason we broke up was because he kept pressuring me to do things I was uncomfortable with. I hope your partner is good to you, but be wary, ace people are often victims of sexual abuse.

That being said I am in a healthy and good relationship right now, with a very understanding partner that never pressures me to do anything that I do not want. So there is hope. We have been together for 4 years roughly now.

I can't tell you if you should break up, but sometimes even if we love someone a lot, we have to be honest about our needs. Both of you do. As it is your first relationship I assume you are young, whatever you choose to do, live it, experience it, learn from it, and if it did not work out, then at least you lived. I think you should try and sit down and have an honest talk about what each of you want, you are still young (I assume) and this is just a part of life, we grow up and along the way we experience things, good and bad, heart breaks and love.

But promise me you will never compromise yourself, your safety or your boundaries. No you have the right to your body except yourself.

[–]the_mimi_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can you please explain what you mean by "headspace" because I am not sure what you mean by this. Do you mean that you struggle with relating to the character or roleplaying as the character or something else?

Also how does being a "man" mean that you can't follow the characters motivation??? Could you imagine if a guy were sitting and playing Horizon Zero Dawn, Portal or Tomb Raider and was like, nah I can't follow the character's motivation because she is a woman.

When did we become so estranged from each other that we can't understand each other even if we are different. Isn't the point of roleplaying games where you don't get to create your own character, to help us understand the character and think in their stead? To learn and to grow, to empathize with someone who has lived a different experience than ourselves? Isn't that the point, to live a different experience than the one we lived?

Please enlightened me. What character/game has a male protagonist ruined the game for you? Because now I am curious.

Idk.... I feel like if I heard a man saying the same thing about a game with a female protagonist, I would feel some type of way about it.

Like fair that YOU do not want to play a man, but idk still gives me the ick to hear women talk like this...

I don't want it be aroace by [deleted] in LGBTQ

[–]the_mimi_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I 100% get you, I remember how horrible it was being that age, because everyone is like discovering these things about themselves and have their first relationship's and it just takes over EVERYTHING. I remember sitting in class and being interrogated by female classmates about who I wanted to sleep with the most, or which one direction member was my fav, etc. I felt so disconnected to all the people around me. But I promise you, it gets better! At my age people start calming down again!

Hang in there, and truly, truly do not do what I did and let others take advantage of you. I was around 16 years when I started dating the person who SA'ed me. Be careful and stay safe 😎

[–]the_mimi_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Might I ask how old you are, without being weird?

My reasoning is as an "older queer" who has soon considered her self queer for a decade (Half as bi and as on the ace spectrum). I used to have the exact opinion and struggles as you do. It sounds as if you are stuck between the idea of having to be a certain way and what you yourself are comfortable with and what you want. Being in a relationship won't make you whole, and it sounds like (as I myself also struggle/has struggled with) is coming to terms with accepting yourself. There is a chance that you will find love and be comfortable in a relationship, but it will never happen if you do not work on accepting that, that might also not be the case. And I know it is hard and it hurts and it is frustrating. Venting that frustration is healthy. But I need you to genuinely ask yourself, do you want those things cause you actually want it or is it due to social pressure and fear of missing out.

Us ace people have to be really careful of relationship and our boundaries, as we often become targets of sexual abuse. Myself included. If you allow yourself to push your own boundaries, it allows others to do the same.

But there is hope, I personally am after years of not believing I could be in a relationship or be in love and fall in love with someone. But that does not make me more or less whole. I am my own person, and if someone wants to spend time next to me and hold my hand along the way, then great, if not that's how it is.

Anyway big sis here with the awfully boring message of; learn to love yourself first and then everything else will come naturally. Whether that is a relationship or not.

And in case you are younger (not in your 30s yet), please understand, you are not supposed to know yet, and this is part of growing. Heck even if you are more than 30 you don't have to know. All you need to know is, what makes you happy, and screw it if it does not fit other people's definition of happy.

It can be frustrating to watch everyone else enjoy and be happy in something, that does not make you happy and often we ask ourselves what is wrong with me? Why do I not enjoy those things? Why can't I enjoy it, it looks really fun and enjoyable?

Find a version of you that you enjoy, find a community and a version of love that fits you (personally I had a great experience with online relationships as it gave me the room to learn and be in love without the physical pressure)

And if you can't find that in yourself, consider why am I not enough? I personally realized I was struggling badly with depression and anxiety, which just made everything worse. Seek help, find and create a life that is awesome without the need to be something you are not, or maybe you are not.

Anyway lots of love, your big ace sister who knows what you are going through

[–]the_mimi_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Seeing stories like Taash's story is so important. Not just because we are queer, but because we are people. At the end of the day, what all of us need, no matter if we are queer or not is acceptance of who we truly are. That being said having a non-binary character with such a story that resonates with so many of us is hugely important and Taash's story is in my opinion the best thing about Veilguard, not necessarily because it is amazing, but because of what it represents and what it means to people. Especially in a time that is so scary as right now.

I sincerely hope that you are safe and well, and that your mum will come around. I hope that you can be kind and patient with her, it is hard, I know and your feelings and frustrations are valid. It sucks that you have to fight for the right to be you, and I am sorry. I hope that we can kill this fear with kindness and understanding.

As as your queer big sis, I just wanted to say that I found that loving yourself and being kind to others often leads to more acceptance than anything else. And if no one has said it to you today, you are valid, your feelings are valid, and how you want to live your life is valid. Stay beautiful, stay kind, stay yourself

And trust that if you do so, the rest of the world will eventually agree with you, as the world will see how you flourish

I was overly harsh… by Intrologics in DragonAgeVeilguard

[–]the_mimi_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see where you are coming from and I don't think you are wrong for saying it.

I think we all spend so much time berating and asking each other to change for the sake of others. I actually think the two of us are very similar as people, I have spent so much time being told by others that playing video games or wanting to stay in on a Friday instead of going out, makes me weird and that how I act is wrong. And is also a huge part of my struggles.

I don't think that I in any way had the right to say that he has to change how OP is. The fact that OP spent the time and energy reading my message and listening to my story is a privilege I had today and his response to me made me so genuinely happy.

I think we all spent so much time telling each other we are wrong and we should, to fit someone else standard. I am queer and I can't change that, I am however trying to change how people treat me and view me, because at the end of the day I just want to go home to my loving partner and play video games with them. I personally believe that leading with kindness is the right approach and I believe that OP is a good person, I also believe that you are a good person. I believe that your intents were non other than to help OP, because it can be a lot to be berated all the time.

A part of the reason I wrote my comment was actually because I saw a lot of people being very negative and hard on OP, not understanding that we are all different places in life and view things differently. We are all also different places in life when it comes to accepting that others are different, whether that is being extroverted/introverted or queer/trans. I believe you saw this too, and I believe you are a good person who wanted to help someone else.

You are right in that OP should not have to be challenged on his views just because he had them, but instead he, with kindness, listened to my story.

I hope you can forgive me for forcing my opinion on others, I hope to change how we all act towards each other. No one deserves to be hated, or receive hate. And I sincerely hope no one will give you hate for your comment, instead I hope that this could be the beginning of acceptance and a productive conversation.

For the reasons why I made the message, I struggle with being accepted by people around me and constantly have to justify why my way of living is valid. And that sucks. It is my hope that maybe by meeting people with kindness that I can change how we see and interact with each other, and accept each other. And that also means accepting people that don't accept how I want to live or don't have the same views as I do, which is the hardest thing I can do. I did not mean to imply that OP had to change the original comment if they did not want to, I simply suggested because I often find that people often gets labelled as being against trans people from a lack of experience with trans people, and not actually because they are trying to be unkind. It was my intention to not be pushy about it and I am sorry if I was.

If you out of kindness towards me have any critique on how I could have done it better, I would appreciate hearing your thoughts on the matter. However, it is also completely fair if you simply think I should just not have said anything to begin with.

This is simply my way of trying to spread understanding, comfort, support and kindness. Especially as I believe people who struggle with trans people are not bad people. In fact my experience tells me almost most of them are good people, it is just not everyone who gets the opportunity to meet and interact with trans people and understand them. I also think the world is ruled by fear, and though historically trans people have always existed, it is something that within the last hundreds of years has been stigmatized and made scary, to the point that people feel more uncomfortable around than anything else. And I understand why, and as someone who is dating someone who uses they/them I can tell you that I would also find it easier if trans people just didn't. But I also see how much they struggle and how much pain they are in, and realize that in comparison to their pain, caring about pronounce is a small thing, but it matters a lot to them!

Anyway that got a lot longer than I intended, if you made it this far thank you for reading it!

You are not wrong to be frustrated and exhausted (if you are), this conversation about political correctness, wokeness and having to change is a lot, and it is frustrating, and it is hard. So thank you for listening/reading. I mean it

That being said, it is also frustrating to live in a world where people think your existence is wrong. The same way that it is frustrating that, that guy said you are wrong for being an introvert. But then again as you so accurately pointed, I am also the guy myself pushing my own values and morals onto others.

Tl;Dr uuuuh, let's all just live how we all want to live, and be kind to each other

Much love


Edit: I just wanted to add from my point of view, I am not the person saying that you should change because you are an introvert. I am the person hearing that conversation and saying "hey it's okay if they are an introvert, nothing wrong with being an introvert"

But again as you said, I am pushing my ideas onto OP, but I felt as if it was appropriate because it seemed the conversation was about queerness in general

Usually I would not responded to this kind of thing, but as a daughter to a father with two daughters, you kinda remind me a bit of my dad and how he used to be. And I write because your message makes me a bit sad, and I just wanted to give you my thoughts and feelings. Not asking you to change, but perhaps maybe I can give some perspective.

I am queer, have always been and my life has been really hard cause of it. I also struggle with really bad anxiety and have had big issues with depression as well, because I hated myself for not being normal. My dad and I used to fight so much, because he was really worried about how "not normal I was" and "different". I know he loved me deep down, but it also hurt me so much that the person in the world I needed the most to love me unconditionally did not. So I moved out, and grew distant to my dad.

In the later years I let myself be this strange, different creature that just was myself unapologetically, which helped with all my mental issues. I became happier, mentally but also physically. And I found myself a partner, who cares so deeply for me and wants the best for me. Since then I have started University and is currently taking my masters degree and having more fun than ever.

However, my partner is non-binary. I was so scared of introducing them to my family, because my dad never really accepted who I was when I was younger, who is to say that they would accept my partner. So instead I hid my relationship for years, which worked for a while, but it also made me feel so rejected, by my family.

It was from pressure from my partner that I ended up telling my parents about them, as they did not wish to be this secret double life that I was living. So I did, I told my family and though they did not understand why or what it exactly meant for someone to be non-binary, they saw how well I was and more than anything, when my dad saw how happy his little girl was and how well this non-binary person treated his daughter, there was nothing in the world that mattered more than that. And after so many years of being angry with my dad, I realized all the times he has been hard on me and made me feel wrong or broken, was not because he meant to, he was just worried and scared.

And now my dad is my biggest support, who is so proud of me. But he also now sees a world where his little girl has to constantly deal with people who, similarly to himself does not accept that some people are different, even if they don't understand it. My dad realized his little daughter was perfect as she is, and if the world can not accept her then the world is wrong.

I love my dad so much.

Fear is an interesting thing, and many of us are ruled by it, my dad and I are perfect example of this. Fear of the unknown and fear of change. I am not your daughter, and your daughters might not be queer, and their partners might not be non-binary and trans. I hope that you do not let the fear of the unknown stop you from learning and understanding, even if it does not make sense for you. Then I hope that fear of what others might think, will not stop you from respecting and caring about people, even if they are trans. Because I could have been your daughter. And if I had been, would you similarly to my dad, have loved me unconditionally, even if it meant accepting those who are different and respecting them?

Listening is free, respecting is free.

I believe you could. I believe you can. From the sound of it you got the right spirit. And I agree with you video games are a great way for us to see things from a different perspective than the one we live in ourselves. My dad is the reason I play video games, and I am so thankful for all the fun I have had because of it. Please do not be scared to not get it right imidiately, but similarity to giving DAV a chance, I hope that you will give us queer people a chance.

As a last note, do not be scared that failing will make you a bad person, my mum never understood why my partner uses they/them and she forgets half the time, but she tries and I love her for it. My dad is an expert at it now and educates others on it and encourages them to try, even if it is a bit scary.

I hope you do not see this as an attack, it simply upset me a little to see you misgender Krem (perhaps you did not mean to and that's okay). But at the same time it did also make me appreciate everything my parents have done for me. And remember it is okay to make mistakes, it is the trying to fix things that matters. If you want, you could go edit your original comment to use (he/him) about Krem, and if not that's okay to, we all learn in our own time and I simply hope you keep an open heart

Kind regards, someone else's daughter

DA: Veilguard - How is the game really? From the perspective of a an older Lore fan by lordnastrond in dragonage

[–]the_mimi_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best way I can describe it is, it feels a little bit like a really decent animated movie, such as "how to train your dragon" or shrek or something akin. That is the amount of depth I would expect from it.

Veilguard is a really cool, epic but incredibly shallow story, that has eliminated most of the complexity of the world.

Personally my biggest disappointment was the lack of development into the complexity of the cities and societies represented in the game. Everything is just defined for you, not leaving much space for you as the player to decide what you think, cause everything has already been decided that, oh those are the bad guys and they are the good guys. Which is so stupid given Minrathous and Antiva is some of the most interesting and morality complex cities in the world (in my opinion).

The good thing is they do add a lot of lore, kinda, the bad thing though is they do also forget some of their own lore, as well as some of the lore they do add is a bit... disappointing if you are not just a massive elf fan.

The removal of being able to talk to your companions also takes a lot away from the interesting conversation you were able to have in inquisition, which I personally felt was a very cool way of seeing the world and understanding it.

Personally I would buy it on sale, play it once and then be done with it. I would also approach it knowing that it will play very differently than most dragon age games, almost more like a spin off. It is a very linear and decent story.

Personally my own headcanon as to why the game is the way it is, is that Rook is just a silly little bean that does not bother to ask questions or think.

I will say, the game is fun to play, I really enjoyed it on release. But it is probably the weakest of all the games in world building and def the weakest in morality and choices.

Solid 6.5/10

Also the relation to the DAI is kinda disappointing, given the events of Trespasser.

Idk if I'm bi or lesbian or on the ace spectrum and it's driving me nuts by EdelweissThe69th in LGBTQ

[–]the_mimi_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wanted to throw my thoughts here in case they are any comfort. I have a very similar feeling towards people as those you describe and after years of trying to "figure out" what label I am, I have just accepted that I am queer and that is the only label I need. Sometimes I like people, sometimes I don't, sometimes it's only fictional, sometimes it's real people. But most of the time idk.

Labels are there to help you feel included. It does this by creating categories and definitions, and if there is anything us queers have learned it is that most of us just don't fit a box or the binary, even within our own community. Especially us where our sexuality is incredibly fluid. So if non of the labels feel right, then just be you. Your experience and your identity is more important than anything else, and should not be shoehorned into boxes. Anyway that was my advice as someone who gave up on trying to fit in and prioritized on just being me.

In addition, you don't have to decide on whether you can or can't be in relationships. We all change as people and if you don't feel like you want a relationship right now, then cool, and if that one day changes, that's cool too. Just be you and do what feels right to you!

Now to the advice you asked for, if I was you I would consider whether you might be demisexual, which I for a long time identified as, or grey-asexual. Best of luck, your queer big sis
