    I love how this game handles sex and romance, it’s unashamed with a sex-positive mindset, something that just seems natural to me but I guess I’m just weird.

      Weirdos of the world unite! I’m all for equal-opportunity horniness lol.

      I guess it’s unnatural for a large group of people, since a lot of people aren’t sex positive due to upbringing or some other factors.

      I’m personally mostly okay with how the game handles sex and romance, and I also have friends who are completely okay with the game’s nudity as well (heck we even have a multiplayer character running around naked in camp lol). But I do have some other friends who were taken aback when character customization came up and genital customization was a thing.

        Yeah! Glad to see so many people agree with our point of view as well. Religion and other factors have done so much damage to so many people, it’ll be a slow process I’m sure but maybe games like these will help fix our culture are reverse those puritanical and prudish views.

          Truly, we will only reach a peak progressive egalitarian society when we are back to treating women like sex dolls. So right bestie.

            What the hell? I just want people to be able to be open about sexual topics and be okay with displaying their bodies without getting attacked or shunned. And for people to play games with anywhere from a little or a lot of sexual content without the fear of it being censored and them being called perverts and weirdos and whatever else, BG3 is a shining example of this.

            And if you think that it’s about treating women like sex dolls then I feel like you should take a good long look at yourself.

              Your entire account is video game porn mods catering to horny men who are afraid of or disgusted by real women.

              It’s not about “being comfortable with people’s bodies”, it’s about shaming women as “prudes” if they do not feel comfortable the power dynamic that often comes with sex in hetero society (especially with straight men) being shoved in their faces and told to participate. “Stop being a prude” is the equivalent of “smile more (for me)” or “start wearing less”.

              I do not have to participate in men’s power fantasies about fictional women because they never talked to a real woman and think that boob armor and 2B’s design are the pinnacle of womanhood and “liberating sexuality” while the only thing it does is making them into sex objects to be stared at and thirsted after like some kind of predator-prey dynamic or product to buy at the market. There is nothing liberating about it.

              Y’all just want to jerk off to women. Just admit that you just want to jerk off to naked women. It has nothing to do with “being open about sexual topics”, or about sexual liberation, it has everything to do with getting your dick hard and thinking it’s some kind of political statement at the same time. Male (or male socialized) savior syndrome.

              BG3 clearly, obviously caters to sweaty D&D neckbeards’ fantasies about “smeggsy” women, mid-tier fantasy writing and fulfilling their power fantasy of murdering, fucking indiscriminately, and avoiding responsibility at the same time. It’s the entire concept of the game. It is made by and for typical Redditors. There is nothing liberating about a porn game. There is no authentic romance, no negotiation of consent, no talking, no connecting as human people, there is only “playersexual” NPCs handcrafted to get predatory men horny who think they’re entitled to women’s (and these NPCs’) bodies and attention. It’s a power fantasy.

                Right off the top you made a super bold assumption about my account and about me thus I won’t give you the time of day. Not like I could change your bigoted ass point of view even if I wanted to. Good bye.
