“has Anders ever heard of peaceful protesting??”

Anders watched the Chantry break their own laws to make his lover Tranquil and he saw countless innocent mages made Tranquil in the years after that and he still tried peaceful methods for seven years before realizing he could no longer sit by and watch innocents tortured and killed so yes, yes I think he has heard of it

it’s like some of the Anders haters didn’t even play the fuckin’ game.

“peaceful protesting” also sounds weird as hell in a game where your main protag solves most their problems by running around whacking people with a sword. quit applying modern day terms and solutions to a medieval game where the closest thing to an existing government is a shitty overpowered genocidal religion

Commander Shepard: *destroys a whole system and kills over 200 000 people for a greater good that’ll protect generations to come but also makes a giant mess that results in even more death*

Fandom: “They just did what they had to do, Shepard just makes the hard decisions and even though it’s morally grey, it still makes them a brave person”

*

Anders: *blows up 1 building after years of peaceful protests and killing circa 50 people for a greater good that’ll protect generations to come but also makes a giant mess that results in even more death*

Fandom: “Irredeemable. A monster. How can he just kill innocent people like that. A terrorist. He deserves a painful death and now let me fill his tag with descriptions and graphic images of how I want to kill him. Also let me hijack every positive post about him telling people what a monster he is”

Anders: “*spends 6-7 years trying to explain to the people in power that it’s wrong to rape, torture and murder people while also working his ass off to provide healthcare for the poorest of the poor*”

People in power: “I guess we’re going on a full-blown extermination spree against the people we’ve been raping, torturing and murdering lol.”

Anders: “Oh no you don’t.”

Anders haters: “Ah man, he never heard about, like, PEACEFULLY protesting an actual genocide?? What a monster. Also the people in power might have a point about raping, torturing, murdering and now trying to fully exterminate people??”

No, Anders didn’t blow the Chantry to prove all mages weren’t evil. Of course that doesn’t make sense.

He blew it to show that you can only whip a dog so much before it bites your ruddy arm off.

You might wail about your severed arm, but I guess you weren’t thinking about that when you were whipping the dog all that time, were you?

[anders voice @ 4am]: pretty fucked up that we just assume andraste wasn’t a mage, isn’t it, hawke? the chant never explicitly says that she wasn’t one. hawke wake up.
