I see a bad moon rising.
I see trouble on the way.
I see earthquakes and lightning.
I see bad times today.
Oh no, cultural values have shifted in a way that taking pot shots at marginalized groups no longer counts as humor! Those poor cartoonists!
please stop calling terrorists ‘muslims’ because no matter what they claim to believe, you should not validate it. you should not recognise their actions as islamic. you should not associate their violent extremities with the values of the millions of peaceful muslims around the world. you should not be forcing real muslims to have to constantly reaffirm their identities.

No wonder we react so viscerally to the “ching-chong, ching-chong” schoolyard taunt. To attack our language, our ability to sound “normal,” is to attack our ability to be normal. It’s to attack everything we’ve worked for.
And make no mistake about it — to sound like a “normal” American is to wield privilege.”
The following post is pro-Sera, so if you don’t want to read then skip. If you don’t want to see any interpretation of Sera as anything other than a self-hating racist abuser I also suggest you skip.
So I’ve been compiling a long ass rant about Sera, using facts you learn from various ingame sources. I’ve pretty much started dragging her along to places I normally don’t - I even replayed the first part of the City Elf warden origin and watched gameplay videos of the alienage quests.
Honestly, I didn’t like Sera at first - I tend to play diplomatic, conciliatory characters which don’t mesh well with her personality . But as I’ve dug more and more into her past and the environment that shaped her I truly feel I’ve gotten a better taste of the real meat and complexity of her character. (And for an idea of what I mean, I’m nearly 8 pages into my writeup with her and I’m maybe ~50% through of what I want to cover; possibly a little bit less).
But even with what I had my understanding of Sera always felt a little patchwork, like I had the pieces but not the core of what put it together. So I rushed a female Dalish inquisitor through the game up to Skyhold to play with Sera’s flirts to see if I could glean anything from that. And just like how Sera’s surprised comment over my human Inquisitor treating her with acceptance despite their disagreement over Verchiel sparked my interest in her as something other than a bratty character, her reaction to my Inquisitor’s interest in her suddenly snapped the pieces of the jigsaw puzzle that is Sera into place.
