This may get me legit doxxed but I cannot believe Astarion is the fan favourite bg3 companion. The racist??? The racist old man who frequently and explicitly confirms that he is racist and will continue to be racist?? And it isn't even like. Goblin racism or something like Wyll where it's because they're "evil". He's racist against indigenous people and dehumanises short people. Which are also actual real human groups. And he explicitly refuses to change that behaviour.

#like a lot of characters express ignorance. but Astarion is like the only one who straight up goes “gur and gnomes are less than human”#he hates indigenous people because he had one bad experience with one group of them #thats like. literally the exact same thing my stepfather says to justify hating aboriginal australians. hes a gross old man #I just cannot believe it. especially here on tumblr #where the general consensus is that racism and bigotry is bad and inexcusable. but for this one guy it's fine?? because u think hes hot #this is radicalising me into an astarion hater because I cannot deal with you people. this is not like. “realistic victim rep”#victims can be mad and jaded and not be SUPER RACIST ABOUT IT #bg3
