I am fucking done. I really hate some of the bg3 Neil Stans, this is horrendous.
Are some bg3 fans really this damn sad and desperate, at the cost of invading a wonderful voice actors privacy?
Yuck yuck yuck
This might be an unpopular opinion, but I find it weird asf that there’s character AI Neil Newbon out there.
It feels uncomfy/parasocial, because you just know people are talking to AI Neil like they’re dating or having sex, and I can’t help but wonder how Neil would feel.
✨Astarion is amazing
✨Minthara is amazing
✨Karlach is amazing
✨Gale is amazing
✨Shadowheart is amazing
✨Lae’Zel is amazing
✨Wyll is amazing
✨Halsin is amazing
✨Minsc is amazing
✨Jaheira is amazing
They’re all amazing characters 🙌🙌🙌
Twitter right now is basically non voice actors who know nothing of the job, or the structure (I.e. lines being voiced out of order) casting shade on Neil for being surprised at something he may genuinely have thought was post trauma healing after Cazador.
Gotcha entitlement 🙃
I’m glad my Neil post is garnering lots of attention and awareness , because parasocial behaviour and delusion is rampant in this community and it needs to tone alllllll the way down.
It’s just not good enough, we need to do better.
Hello bg3 moots! I’m looking for more!
✨ Astarion & Minthara lover
✨ 30 she/her
✨ Bi / Pan 🏳️🌈
✨ Twitch streamer from Australia who plays RPGs, souls and horror (GingerPerks)
✨ Makes stupid memes and edits
✨ Loves horror movies and spicy food
“I’m not even mad at Neil, i just found it funny”
Nah, it’s actually not funny you see. Posting petty drama like this encourages hate and undeserved malicious criticism towards Neil (look at the utter stupidity in the quoted tweets) and in the bg3 community as a whole.
If you excuse Astarion’s behaviour because you find him attractive, but dump on Minthara and say she’s horrible, evil, problematic etc when she basically shares similar if not the same traits as Astarion, then you need to reevaluate your thinking and logic.
I could never 👎
Why do people think Astarion wasn’t a slave to Cazador? He quite literally was… he went through so many atrocities at the hands of that terrible man.
It’s one of the reasons I support spawnstarion the most, he’s finally breaking cycles of abuse and doesn’t need to be Caz 3.0.
It’s almost like people were waiting with bated breath for Neil to “fuck up”, so they could pull a smarmy “gotcha! Neil isn’t all that you stupid Astarion simps!” When there are literal bigger and legitimate issues like Dammons VA being a fucking homophobic transphobe.
It’s important to remember that ALL romanceable characters in BG3 are pan.
Ofc you’re allowed to HC this/that, but canonically they’re pan, and it’s extremely bi/panphobic to say otherwise.
We exist and are valid, if they were straight, gay etc Larian would have made it so.
@iluvgamedilfs
Very true, but Astarion IS pan, they all are. Larian wouldn’t give the choice otherwise.
You can HC that Astarion is this or that, but he’s canonically pan.
Granted, Neil could have known better but people jumping on him and his knowledge base in comments and quote twts as if they’re personally offended is immature.
Perhaps he confused this for the scene post Cazador and wasn’t aware of the narrator saying he’s mentally out of it.
It made me so sad when I went into a girls stream who loves Astarion, and I said Minthara was underrated and nuanced character, who doesn’t get enough love.
She said “no, she gets too much love” and “she’s just evil + problematic.” How can you love Astarion, but not Minthara?!
Gale = Dom
Astarion = Switch
Karlach = Dom (very occasional switch)
Minthara = Dom
Shadowheart = Sub
Lae’Zel = Switch (initial dom but she succumbs)
Halsin = Dom
Wyll = Dom
What do you think? Yes or no?
Minthara is so underrated, she has so much character development and depth, and people don’t even get to experience that since a lot assume it ends at the goblin camp, or some aren’t even aware she’s recruitable.
Imagine repeatable sex scenes in Baldurs Gate 3. Especially after epilogue when your relationship is stronger.
Go up to Astarion every night and say “I wish to lay with you tonight”
“Of course darling.”
*cuts to naked gyrating and passionate thrusting every SINGLE night.* 😜
@morphingmache
Same with Minthara, but if people aren’t attracted to her they excuse Astarion’s occasional shitty behaviour and dump on her which I find terrible
for example. i think astarion is gay. neil thinks he’s pan. we can have our own opinions. he’s not the final authority bc that’s not how fiction works .
Thinking that blasting a VA as a lolrandom joke is funny shows a keen lack of social awareness. This could get back to Neil and affect him mentally, even his career and cause disarray because of some silly tweet. It’s an attack on his character / professionalism as a VA, yuck.
Hello everyone!
I have created a BG3 discord and I’m super excited to invite you all ❤️🔥
🗡️ Aussie / NZ Timezone (all are welcome tho)
🗡️ LGBTQIA+ friendly
🗡️ 18+
🗡️ A space to find that co op or gaming buddy
🗡️ Movie nights once we get some members
I am happy words like “dyke” are being reclaimed by the lgbtqia+ community, because I get called an ugly dyke on twitch often. Much worse insults too.
Now I just say “yes? And? I like women, oh no… sue me. Thanks for the compliment :)”
