I think if people were to ask themselves if Ana Bray were in fact a white, presumably heterosexual i.e not noteworthy of any comment, stereotypical cliche aside, man, would Warmind have an immersive and engaging narrative. I would bet the answer would be; no. So what we have to talk about and analyse is only the contrived agenda promotion of her sexuality (the fact that one of the most powerful and enigmatic characters in lore is rendered as a teeny-grrrl with ‘tude aside): this is terrible story-telling of D2 Brother Vance proportions. I care as less for BV’s sexual preferences as I do for Ana’s however his D2 characterisation is just as breathtakingly incongruous a failure as Ana’s is. For my part, I just don’t care about the sexuality, race, or whatever other real-life agenda is de rigeur. It is not relevant at all and does no service to mask the failures of the narrative in any way. I feel bad for young people today in that in all artistic areas (as the guy says but particularly for me given my background in music) are commodified and basically hijacked by uninteresting, agenda-driven and commercially exploiting agents with all the creativity of what most people flush down the toilet. Where’s the danger? The underground? The agitprop? The new idea? The narrative depth?
