No of course not. But the majority of the player base will be. Especially the one vocal about their opinion against a female character on Twitter.
Even more so back in 2009 when DA:O came out.
I guess with that said, what does the female demographic think about Morrigan/Lae'zel?
Even if they are a smaller portion, do they feel the same way or are they significantly differently?
Well I can't speak to all women, but my wife instantly hated Shadowheart and was pretty cool with Lae'zel. Her reasoning seemed to be that she knew Shadow's type and hated it, but Lae'zel was more straightforward and was less manipulative.
If you think a lot of women don’t have internalized misogyny, oh boy, have I got news for you.
