Grey Warden Photo Op Provoked Racist Trolling On Bioware’s Facebook Page

Sure Dragon Age II came out a while ago, but racist trolling still remains.

The internet is no stranger to trolling. In fact, the two are probably muturally exclusive. When you have an avenue for expression, like a forum, or in this case, a Facebook comment section, there are bound to be people that will use the universal microphone the Internet provides to be hurtful or just generally disrespectful.

And that’s exactly what happened in the album Grey Warden Photo Ops on the Dragon Age Facebook fan page that is owned and operated by developer Bioware. Under the picture that is featured above, the following comment was posted:

shoulnt he have sickle instead of a sword and raggy clothes instead of armor and chain..bracelets on his wrists and ankles? just saying it would be more historically accurate.

Now normally I steer clear of the political correctness police, and I was at first willing to let this go. That was until I saw that the comment dated from September 6th, of last year. Now I’m not suggesting that Bioware intentionally left the comment there, but they seriously need to do a more thorough job of monitoring their comment section.

Although it probably went unnoticed by many, it is hardly the image that a PR specialist would recommend to Bioware. I recommend that their social media expert gets on this immediately and removes the comment, as its an insult to the smart and sophisticated storytelling that Bioware is known for in the gaming world.
