People frown on that sort of thing, but there are legitimate reasons to feel that way, as Isabela demonstrates in the game itself.Īs my narcissistic personality disorder articles here would demonstrate, I come from a very broken past, so really having a serious committed relationship is. I am not "promiscuous." In fact, I have tighter standards than Isabela (way tighter), but I went through a phase where I'd rather just have casual flings than anything serious. since it made me feel like the hypocrite that I am).

I am more like Isabela than I'm willing to admit (which is why I took my Dark Ritual article down for revision. For example, the doctor's black father on Babylon 5 was racist against aliens and this smacked of the same sad, "See? Everyone can be racist!" crap that derails us from important conversations about white racism in America. Like they're going, "See! Brown people can be racist, too!" It's always something that has annoyed me in fantasy fiction. This annoys me to all hell because I'm tired of how gleefully white writers seem to enjoy taking brown characters and making them slavers.

Isabela felt bad about it later but didn't have enough sense to know or care that it was wrong to begin with? I couldn't love a person like that, and I don't think my Hawke (aka my extension of me) could either. Once again, it calls me back to Jack Sparrow sacrificing a hundred souls to Davey Jones in Pirates of the Carribean just to save his own behind. In fact, she drowned them to save her own hide, after agreeing to traffick them in the first place and nearly getting caught. We find out in the comics (which I will forever loath) that according to David Gaider, Isabela lied about setting those slaves free.
