brokenergy Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 And you didn't get the memo that women rule the Qunari society did you. Or that the Qunari create an illusion of certainty by creating roles for themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qistina Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 (edited) no matter what Qunari culture is, but i don't like Sten. As example, maybe some race have certain way, but that doesn't mean as individual that person is good or bad. For example, are all German Nazi soldiers have the same attitude like Hitler? Sure no. Qunari maybe have women leader or whatever, but Sten as individual is sexist and short sighted. There are a lot of Qunari other than Sten, maybe they are wise, intelligent and not sexist.

brokenergy Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Invoking Godwin's Law isn't going to help your argument which at best is just strawman. Even Sten in the end will respect you after you gain 75+ approval. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sync182 Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 "Sexist" is a highly subjective term. He might be considered so in our culture, he might be considered so even to the average Ferelden citizen...but in his culture, he is not. He is a product of his environment, nothing more.

xneseyx Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I like Sten. Listen to some of the conversations he has with your mages... lol But no, he's not sexist. it's just his views of right and wrong. our view of wrong is different than his.

Thandal Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Sten (a title and a job, not a name) isn't "sexist". He, and all the Qunari, is "role-ist". He does a good job of describing this when talking about the farmer wanting to be a merchant. I'm not saying I agree with him, (and my Warden doesn't) but he summarizes the Qunari perspective very well. See also Tallis, in DA2 - MotA and/or the on-line series "DA - Redemption". :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

musicalfrog7 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 He is sexist. Of course it's a product of his society but the same thing honestly happened in real life too. He believes that women should stay in the jobs that society deems them to be fit for, such as a tailor. In the conversation he also lists other jobs he thinks that women are suited for and they are all stereotypical domestic jobs. While having the right to vote was at the forefront of the women's rights movement, discrimination in the workforce is a huge factor. If someone pursues a job and is fit for it, they should be allowed to practice that job.And that is what makes Sten sexist. Technically. However, that does not make him a bad person and in my file Sten and I are total BFFs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rennn Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 (edited) Yes, he's sexist. I don't care that it's part of his culture, it's still sexism. It's even more sexist that females rule Qunari society. That doesn't help. Edited November 8, 2012 by Rennn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
