I don't know if this will totally fit in here but it's from Tumblr and it's Tumblr being stupid so. Also sorry for the potential sperging, I literally hate Tumblr with every fibre of my being even when I'm actively avoiding SJ shit.
For those who don't play Dragon Age, elves are treated like shit in this game, it's realistic and it's mostly because of how different they are from the humans. They are a proud group of people with their own beliefs and culture that has been basically ripped from them from centuries of slavery and war. They'll always be treated badly, in fact there's a country in Dragon Age that legalizes slavery of elves and willing humans. It's super interesting and affects you if you play as an elven Inquisitor.
With that kind of stigma that elves have, wouldn't you think that a half-elven child would be considered taboo? This person here thinks it shouldn't be and it's awful and they should be treated like an ordinary human, only that makes no sense. It's realistic and happened before in real life and this person is bitching over the fact Bioware went for realism. They praise the fact there's a canon transman in the game who has his problems, they're okay with the fact a character faces homophobia from his family, they're fine with your elven Inquisitor getting shit when they go to the Winter Palace for being an elf, but mixed children of a fictional race being considered bad is apparently the straw that broke the camel's back????
And in other news someone complained to the writer of Dragon Age on his Twitter that Krem (the trans character) was voiced by a woman and not a irl transman. They do realize this is a fantasy world and Krem would have no way to deepen his voice right? That pre-T transmen do sound like women 95% of the time?
