  • I’d argue “choosing the default” is not what’s going on here. If you don’t have mental health issues, you don’t think that much about living/not living, it just is what it is.

    It’s be like saying I’m choosing not to listen to 80s Korean funk, or choosing not to go ski to the Himalaya. I literally don’t care, and I haven’t chosen “not to”, because I literally haven’t given it any thought.

    Actually, 80s Korean funk sounds rad, I should give it a listen.






  • I loved the character design because I hated the characters too: Lae’zel was a close minded warrior, Shadowheart a smartass, Gael Mr nice guy not so nice when you do something he doesn’t approve, Astarion the vampire rapist… Etc.

    But then I kept on playing and I realized they were really deep characters. Lae’zel was indoctrinated super hard, but she’s smart and can recognize when things don’t make sense, even if she totally believes those things. Shadowheart has been lying to everyone, including herself, and putting a mask on; but she’s a really sweet woman. Astarion was abused in every possible way for centuries, and being a total asshole is his way to cope.

    My point is, yeah, the characters are flawed and can come across as dicks, but many real people do too until you understand their circumstances. Not saying that what they do is justified, just that they are interesting characters and redeemable from my PoV.

    People trying to overload your critical thinking with tons of nonsensical arguments must be cut off like this.

    There’s no point in thinking about what someone arguing in bad faith says. You’ll demonstrate how they’re wrong, and they’ve already come up with 3 new bogus arguments while ignoring that they were wrong.
