To those of you claiming that "woke" killed Bioware, you don't know what the frak you are talking about. BioWare was a pioneer in LGBTQ+ inclusion within Western RPGs, evolving from early same-sex options in games like Baldur’s Gate II and Jade Empire, to fully written queer main characters, explicit romances, and transgender/non-binary representation across the Dragon Age and Mass Effect series.

For those of you who claim you've played their games, but we know you haven't actually done so, here's a timeline of LGBTQ+ at a glance from BioWare games.

Early Era (2000–2005): Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (2003) featured Juhani as an early, semi-hidden lesbian romance. Jade Empire (2005) included same-sex options but faced editorial pushback or censorship in some markets.

Mass Effect Trilogy (2007–2012): Mass Effect (2007) sparked media controversy over a brief alien-human romance with Liara (playable as female Shepard). Mass Effect 2 expanded options, and Mass Effect 3 (2012) offered full same-sex romances for male and female Shepard, including crewmate Samantha Traynor and Steve Cortez.

Dragon Age Series (2009–Present): Dragon Age: Origins (2009) allowed bisexual/same-sex flings with select companions. Dragon Age II (2011) made nearly all main party members bisexual/pansexual. Dragon Age: Inquisition (2014) introduced Dorian Pavus as the studio's first fully gay companion and Krem as a prominent transgender character.

Later Titles (Andromeda and The Veilguard): Mass Effect: Andromeda (2017) scaled back queer options at launch, whereas later projects and studio leadership continued emphasizing expansive identity options and diverse characters.

Beyond that....

Writing & Advocacy: Lead writers like David Gaider championed authentic queer storylines, making non-straight identities a core part of fantasy and sci-fi worldbuilding rather than a joke.

Industry Influence: BioWare's commitment helped normalize LGBTQ+ characters in mainstream AAA video games, though critics and fans have also debated past missteps, missed opportunities, or inconsistent handling of bisexual representation.

(a simple Google search gives you the above, and you can go deeper if you like).

I've been playing their games since the VERY beginning. Get out of my timeline you fake-ass LARPers.

In Baldur's Gate 3 you can be trans and queer and that game sold over 20 mil copies. The chuds saying the reason Bioware didn't sell well with their recent games was because of "activism" are absolutele delusional troglodytes the need to go outside.

[Gray @Spectre_Gray]

Veilguard did not kill BioWare. Private equity killed BioWare. Money killed BioWare. Corporate greed killed BioWare. Shut the fuck up about wokeness and Veilguard for fuck’s sake. Holy shit

I do think Laika artists deserve their flowers and that everyone should go support the new movie but like…. Wages for artists at Laika are *notoriously* low. Like laughably low

[aquila 🫀 @belllmonts]

a reminder for everyone who loves posting spoilers the second a movie is in theatres

[Robyn Richmond @RobynRichmond0]

Delivered the best supporting performance of 2024 and had a steady career for years before they came out as trans...

Them, Lilly Wachowski, Jamie Clayton, Elliot Page, Trace Lysette and so many more talented trans creatives who can barely get work nowadays… it’s infuriating.

🚨 O QUE ESTÁ ACONTECENDO?

Jeff Sneider, conhecido insider de Hollywood, publicou declarações direcionadas à equipe de Inde Navarrete, atriz recém-anunciada como a Vampira de X-MEN no MCU.

Nas mensagens, Sneider cobra informações exclusivas e afirma que, caso continue sendo ignorado, poderá publicar rumores sobre a atriz e sua carreira. O tom das declarações gerou críticas justamente por envolver uma profissional que acabou de entrar em uma das maiores franquias do cinema.

Eu me sinto genuinamente enojado com essa situação. Independentemente de qualquer discussão sobre fontes ou exclusividades, pressionar e intimidar uma profissional para obter informações é algo que considero completamente inaceitável.

A Inde merece respeito, assim como qualquer outra pessoa que esteja trabalhando em uma produção desse tamanho.

Por isso, a Sociedade X-MEN também precisa deixar clara a sua posição: a partir de hoje, Jeff Sneider não será mais mencionado, citado ou utilizado como fonte em nossas publicações.

Toda solidariedade à Inde Navarrete e à sua equipe.

– Summers,
Sociedade X-Men.

she almost killed herself because the entire internet, from all sides (cis and trans) launched a months long harassment campaign calling her the most vile things you could think of all because you didn’t like the finale of her fucking indie animated show. you people are evil.

RE: Dolly Parton not speaking out about Gaza.
She did what she could. When hundreds of refugee children showed up in London, her Imagination Library sent them books. Words are meaningless. Actions matter. Now keep Dolly's name out of your fucking mouths.

[r0sie ☁️ @tayvseal]

leftists saying “rest in piss” and calling Dolly Parton evil for shit they’ve spent the last 24hrs trying to dig up to villainize her while people actively suffer under the actions of actually evil men….it’s so over

[the rock’s wig in moana @stormyglow]

“turning on palestine” no some of us are saying stop using their plight like some kind of gain this is seriously a heartbreaking situation and lives have been devastated from it. Question who you want but don’t sit and do nothing and just fling it out like some token.

[André @ Spoons @Duwang_chew]

SHE FUNDED COVID RESEARCH AND DONATED BOOKS TO CHILDREN ALL OVER! DOLLY PARTON IS A HERO, END OF STORY

[daniel @portgascores]

please everybody do not forget how important dolly’s philanthropy towards impoverished & illiterate communities in the south & appalachia was. i’m so so heartbroken

[🍊officer cringe @pioneer_ten]

If you want to honour Dolly Parton after her passing consider donating to the imagination library. It’s a really lovely program she created and championed that provides books to children ages 0-5 completely free!! https://t.co/5AFE83vRUk
