Funnily enough, even though they were one of the forerunners of woke ideology, none of the original DA games even used the term "gay" (or bisexual, or lesbian, or homosexual, or...). Despite the series' bad worldbuilding and growing promotion of Californian politics, the writers were at least trying to make Thedas feel like a fantasy world divorced from our own in the first three games, where the people's speech patterns don't fully match ours. Which should be the absolute minimum in writing any story that doesn't take place in contemporary times.
The current stock of Bioware can't even do that. Everyone talks and sounds like some modern-day American college asshole.
Game of Thrones was the same until D&D took over fully. In addition to retarded writing choices such as ballista that were achieving railgun levels of projectile velocity you had the various archers going from using "loose" to "fire" because of shitty writers who only ever think in modern vernacular.
One of my only problems with the LotR trilogy. They also say "fire!" And its irritating
The "fire" thing is telling. They parrot words without understanding their underlying meanings. No wonder they are so easily manipulated.
