The problem is that the character is gay, and that means that people who dislike gay characters gam are upset bee of his existence, and a group of gay gamers are upset over how the character is portrayed. On the official Bware fom, a gamer posted a thread claimg that Bware was turng s back on "straight male gamers" by cludg certa gay and female characters that he felt were created to appeal to different groups of gamers.

"The stereotype of homosexualy needg to be somethg that is shoved back to a closet bee mak other people unfortable is one about beg tolerated on other peopl' terms, " an article on the webse GayGamer stated.
It also mistak that all gay men want to have sex wh straight men, and nnot take no for an answer—an erroneo assumptn, and is that assumptn that should be bated, which Dragon Age 2 do not perpetuate. Both sis seem to be argug that there is only one sort of gay character, or one rrect way to portray gay characters gam.

Another person argu that the stereotype of a gay man who hs on everythg he se and n't handle rejectn is promoted the game, and not every gay gamer agre wh that.

So as we know, homosexualy is majorly accepted Thedas, except Tevter. Now the reason 's not possible Tevter is bee they try to procreate the perfect mage blah blah blah, and sce homosexual upl n't procreate, they aren't allowed.
