In which the Broodmother from Dragon Age: Origins provides meta-criticism, regular criticism, meta-commentary, regular commentary, pictures she thinks are pretty, and a giddy mish-mash of other things. The Broodmother often reblogs and comments on social justice topics, including race, gender, and sexuality. These topics are frequently discussed as they apply to media and fandom. The Broodmother is fascinated by the wonderful and strange media that fills your world, and strives to absorb as much of it as she can!

The Broodmother, Laryn of House Branka, chooses to refer to herself in the first person plural (we, us) because of how her thoughts are influenced by the internal whisper of the Taint.

Broodmother’s human Public Relations Representative and transcriber occasionally chimes in with her own, mostly boring, commentary.

&lt;p&gt;Posting this from last year’s Dragon*Con because I’m going back and playing all the &lt;em&gt;DA:O&lt;/em&gt; origin stories I hadn’t done yet (my two full playthroughs were Elf Mage and Human Noble Rogue), and although I recognized this Shianni immediately from the Alienage part of the main game (she’s perfect) I didn’t understand the bottle until just now when I played the City Elf origin story (which I did not expect to be so extremely dark, jeeze).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Anyway. This group was awesome.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;SHIANNI! I never thought I’d see someone cosplay her, it looks fantastic.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thank you. That’s very sweet.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;small&gt;c’est si facile de créer une victime, mademoiselle, si facile. vous enfermez quelqu’un dans une pièce noire, il commence a souffrir. nourrissez cette souffrance de façon méthodique, systématique et froide, que cela dure. votre sujet passse par des états multiples. au bout d’un temps son traumatisme, cette petite fissure si facile a fabriquer, lui fait voir des choses qui n’existent pas. qu’est-ce quelle voyait, votre pauvre lucie? quoi, elle ne voyait rien? pas meme quelques monstres, des choses qui voulaient lui faire du mal?&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;small&gt;les gens n’envisagent plus de souffrir, mademoiselle. le monde est ainsi fait qu’il n’y a plus que des victimes. les martyrs sont très rares. un martyr, ça, c’est autre chose. un martyr est un être exceptionnel, mademoiselle. il survit à la souffrance, il survit à la privation de tout, en charge des maux de la terre, et il s’abandonne. il se transcende. il se transfigure.&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You didn’t think this one through very well, did you?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here’s the deal: people seem to constantly feel the need to make this argument about playing same sex romances, about identifying as a feminist, about supporting marriage equality. This argument that they back into when challenged, that “supporting [LGBT-relevant cause] doesn’t make &lt;em&gt;you&lt;/em&gt; LGBT!!!!” Like that doesn’t covertly lash back into the faces of the people you’re claiming alliance with.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And it’s honestly laughable that you felt &lt;em&gt;that&lt;/em&gt; exclamation to be more appropriate than something like “SAME SEX ROMANCES SHOULD BE REPRESENTED IN GAMES BECAUSE QUEER PEOPLE PLAY GAMES AND THERE’S NOTHING WRONG WITH BEING QUEER SO THERE’S NOTHING WRONG WITH PLAYING QUEER CHARACTERS.” &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We sure as shit &lt;em&gt;do&lt;/em&gt; “have a long way to go,” partially due to the fact that allies like you keep backing up like you’ve touched something hot.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Did you read the confession at all? No, really, did you?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Or did you fabricate some commentary to respond angrily to and accidentally use this pic with it?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I’m genuinely curious.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Did you read the response at all? No, really, did you?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Or are you a fan of the whole”I’m an LGBT ally &lt;em&gt;but whoaahhh back up I’m not gay nope no homo here” &lt;/em&gt;thing and simply failing to understand why someone else wouldn’t be?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Do you have an actual problem with that, or were you just lurking this blog and waiting for a reason to be angry and condescending so that you can join the high-five circle with your group of buddies who hate us?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Do you want to bring up the second person plural thing now, or would you prefer to save it for when you can get a whole circle jerk going about it?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Wow, someone has a &lt;em&gt;grudge&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The confession is &lt;em&gt;clearly&lt;/em&gt; an indictment of a (large) group of people who want that “gay toggle” because they are so desperately afraid that when Anders ninja-mances their character, it will turn them as a player gay. It is &lt;em&gt;clearly&lt;/em&gt; an indictment of a (large) group of people who think that hanging around gay people will turn them gay. It is &lt;em&gt;clearly&lt;/em&gt; an indictment of a (large) group of people who think that a gay math teacher will turn their children gay.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you think that “you are insane to be uncomfortable with gay people because you will somehow ‘catch the gay’” isn’t an appropriate message, then I was wrong. You DID understand the confession. You’re just an asshole.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But if you didn’t realize what the confession was actually saying, then that misunderstanding is on &lt;em&gt;you&lt;/em&gt;, because it’s pretty damn clear to any reasonably-thinking adult what it means. In which case a simple “oops, I misread that, my bad” is all that’s necessary.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;No shit “someone” has a grudge. “Someone” had death threats containing their home address sent to their personal email. “Someone” has strong reason to suspect it was one of your buddies who sent them. “Someone” will never get the money back that they lost from having to uproot themselves and move to a new place so quickly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Do you want to talk about that instead? It’s pretty clear that you don’t have an actual problem, as there’s no reason for you to be so invested in people being nice to clueless allies (or for you to be on this blog at all if you find the content so unpleasant), and this is just going to be a one-sided conversation about all the reasons why B-mommy is a dangerous mean fandom bully (who has…never spoken to you before?), &lt;em&gt;so let’s at least air all of the “&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;you’re an asshole, &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;no &lt;/em&gt;you’re&lt;em&gt; an asshole” &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;grievances while we’re all here and comfortable before the rest of your party arrives.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://b-mommy.tumblr.com/post/22866844783</link><guid>http://b-mommy.tumblr.com/post/22866844783</guid><pubDate>Fri, 11 May 2012 19:32:00 -0400</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
