Sexual Perversion

[Zero]

No, i'm not talking about the LBGTQ or bear sex thing which i know is going to be the first reaction of some people. i'm talking about how every encounter with my party is sexualized. Just because i'm trying to help you out or save your life doesn't mean i'm trying to get involved with you. I haven't flirted or made any moves to "romance" you and yet you are harassing me and making things uncomfortable. I think my party needs an HR department. When did games encourage predatory sexual harassment? Why does EVERY relationship have to be perverted by sex. there are relationships that aren't sexual and based on camaraderie and mutual respect.

What game are you talking about? Cause if you're talking about Baldurs Gate 3, yes there is sex. Full nudity (that can be turned off), riding, different positions, even a scene of oral sex.

You may not be seeing any of it because you may have nudity turned off. Which, honestly I think is a good thing.

no... i have full nudity which again isn't 'sex' ive rolled in the hay with astarion, gale, shadowheart, and lae'zel.

I mean it when i say there's no intercourse or any portrayal of penetration of any kind going on. MEANING there's no SEX in the game.

TO REITERATE... is not the same thing as 'sexually suggestive content'

Tell me about it. I said "hi" to Halsin and he was like, "let's play tummy sticks!". The devs really just assumed that every player would want to ♥♥♥♥ every character in their party.

Honestly, it's just bad writing. The devs either don't understand the concept of plutonic relationships or they were too lazy to give the party members their own sexual preferences.

Dude, there are already so many of these posts clogging up the discussions. Go rant on one of those.... :P

I hate to break this to you, but every encounter in your life is sexualized. You just aren't the target most of the time. Welcome to not being ugly. Don't worry, it won't transfer to real life.

even walking into the barn on the troll and other thing in act 1... there's no visual depiction of penetration...

which is actually no different then the scene with billy bob thorton in bad santa. he's standing behind the girl playing pinball.

what sex?

suggestive of sex? absolutely

actual visual depiction of sex? you're smoking somethin and it's not the good stuff

The anti sex factions in the forum are as such:

Political trolls
People who have complaints about the writing/tone
People who may actually need some professional help

Know the difference, knowing is half the battle

Never seen a lewd prude before. But yea just because you don't get a super-detailed close up of insertion doesn't mean it isn't happening. You're intentionally misinterpreting "sexually suggestive" in order for it to align with your argument. That's not what it means, especially in regards to what's going on here. Sexually suggestive is essentially heavy flirting and strong innuendos. This is full blown no clothes bumping uglies. If you must debate using a defining term, at least get it right: the official term for the romance scenes is "sexually explicit".
Also they are trying to make these scenes capable of happening with any gender. Which means it has to take lesbians into consideration thus ambiguous with insertion implied. It makes some romances seem weird though, like Karlach's date romance.
Again, if you absolutely, positively must be a legalism prude - there is a scene of oral sex. This is officially sex. If this was the only scene to have any nudity and "action" it would be enough for the game to have an "M" rating.

The only person who kept up the flirty attitude after me saying no in my playthrough was Gale and honestly this is the guy who got bored boning a literal goddess, so it tracks. He didn’t proposition me, just was a flirt, which seems in character and appropriate imo

Thanks for your input, thread police. Now feel free to browse threads that aren't this one.

and you're wrong... the terms are 'intercourse' and 'penetration'

if the oral scene didnt show a penis penetrating a mouth or a tongue penetrating a vagina

then how can you say it was oral 'sex' you CAN'T

thus only 'suggestive'

plenty of photographers in the world have photoed images of a person with a large hat kneeling in front of another 'suggesting' oral sex when point in fact the whole scene was scripted an nothing of the sort happened.

so i dont know what you mean by a scene of oral sex.

oral counts as 'sex' literally because of 'penetration'

If every encounter with your party is sexualised, that means you've been flirting with all of them. You can shut all of them down within the first 5 hours of the game and they won't try to flirt with you for the entire rest of the game. If you somehow end up in late A1, A2 or even A3 and the entire camp is trying to ♥♥♥♥ you, that means you've been *actively* picking the most flirtatious options, going for kisses when you are able to choose hugs or even a simple 'good for you!' option.

So yeah - maybe stop trying to bone the whole camp and they won't keep trying back?

I agree, I was wrong. Not from what you said, mind you. I should have responded the same way G7Strix did. I apologize for thinking I could talk to you, when the reality is I can only talk at you.
The game has sex in it. It has intercourse. Whether you like it or not. Deal with it or go back to your overdetailed porn if you want such a fine detail. Move on.
