Is the Slippery Slope Really A Fallacy?
My grandparents would be utterly appalled by the stuff in this game. I told my parents about the bear thing and the look on their faces was just blank disgust (and my parents are open minded liberals). I tried to explain that the bear is actually a "druid", but they were like "what?"

Should we take a step back and reflect on where we are going as a society? What is the end result with all this stuff?

You're more than a decade late to be complaining about druid/animal sex. Furries and WoW druids popped that bubble ages ago.

short answer: yes

longer answer: yes, it is.

Is the Slippery Slope Really A Fallacy? Nah. Its as real as grass.

The REAL question is does anyone even care anymore? Every generation is more apathetic and self obsessed than the last, more willing to believe in anything as long as it makes them feel good.

Id say its gone from something politicians trotted out to scare people to what it is now, a downward spiral of hedonism and degeneracy that has to keep getting more and more extreme in order to let the already desensitized masses feel anything.

That depressing enough or should I go on?

Not when we're talking about druids it isn't. They're sapient 'animals' either way. It's the same threshold to cross.

Have you stuck your head outside to see where we are already headed? And you think a video game is the danger? Boy have I got something to tell you.

I'm starting to get fed up with those spammy nonsense, so I'm going to spam back to exact same response now. Congratulations, you got exactly what you deserve :

Go read Ovidius's Metamorphoses. See just How Far Back this goes and realize that, "No this isn't that strange. Yes this is fantasy and so was this book, why is it right to revile a video game, literally a visual, interactive book, when this antique book is considered Classical Litterature."

I await your answer to that question, you best make it a good one. If you post in a forum to display your opinion, you best be ready to debate it. So go on. Debate. In antiquity, this was called Philosophy.

People be unironically paraphrasing Rorschach from the Watchman in this post. It's funny in the same way people don't get American Psycho or The Matrix.

If your offer is to save me from more games like BG3, I assure you that I do not need to be saved from more games like BG3.

We're just becoming more open minded, keep in mind that women's right to vote is less than 80 years old so i wouldn't say we're going in a bad direction overall

If you told your parents about that, I'd be more worried that they now think you've got an interest in it since you brought it up and your playing the game in question.

Offended by the content. Vote with your wallet. Simple as that.

I can promise you will never be forced to play BG 3 against your will.

I'm fairly sure, he is.

They need God's permission too, it seems.
