In this episode we examine the ways that love, sex, romance and relationships are presented in Dragon Age 2. We apply the Ancient Philosophical concepts of Eros, Agape and Philia to examine different representations of love in the game. And we discuss Sex Negative Feminism, Sex Positive Feminism, and the Gender Binary to examine ways the game may be reinforcing or challenging pervasive tropes that exist in Western culture regarding sex, and desire.

Why is the episode called “stabby stab stab?” Listen to find out!
