A Thread about Druid Halsim's Romance Scene in animal form.
I found this video on YouTube where several people watch the scene of Druid Halsim transforming into a bear to have a romantic relationship with Astarion, but it could be any Race in the game, including humans.
My question is, am I going crazy? Why did the people watching this content not express repulsion or disgust? On the contrary, they were laughing and applauding this, as if it were something fun and coherent, a necessary content that should be there in the game fo bring fun for the costumers.
I might just be going crazy because I can't laugh, have fun or enjoy this. On the contrary, it made me feel disgusted and repulsed. I found such content abominable and unnecessary in a game.
I think this world has turned its back on me, because today's "Normal" is far beyond natural in my point of view.


Edit: I will only include the name of the video mentioned so that you can search for yourself on YouTube, as there are nude scenes and this is against Steam's rules.

Humor is subjective. "Shock humor" is very common, though.

Its not "normal" and thats what makes it funny, something so bizarre in a videogame is just goofy, not going to romance Halsin ever for this reason though cause I aint trying to ♥♥♥♥ a bear lmao.

It's not an obsession, I just want to understand the minds of people who see such things as something fun enough to applaud. I really feel so disgusted by this, I can't describe it.

If Halsin had transformed into a child, I think people would have a very, very different reaction to it.

The next time bear abusers IRL organize a sex ring to exploit their local wildlife, you can link to it and say "I told ya so" but until then, I have to call shenanigans on your comparison.

There's a very legitimate difference between what you're suggesting here, and a guy shapeshifting into a bear. And you know it.

This is what I was thinking but couldnt put into words.
Like comparing child abuse which is a real and horrible thing to a bear... is a bit different and 0 to 100 real fast.

I didn't want to make this topic, but I couldn't understand, all those people laughing and applauding this content in the video. For me, it was very shocking to see that people were "Enjoying" seeing a man sleeping with an animal, even if it was fictional in a video game, to the point of laughing and applauding. I had never seen this before, I was kind of shocked by it. It seems like the world is sick and crazy.

Its supposed to be a joke, jesus christ.

I guess Greek Mythology must really horrify with all those times Zeus transforms himself into an animal in order to have sex with a woman.

On the one hand, I somewhat understand because subjective stuff is subjective. Different people have different tolerances for shock factor, suspension of disbelief, what they find humorous, etc.

On the other hand, I often wonder why sexual content is the part that people get so stuck over. And not the murdering, lying, cheating, stealing, mind controlling, etc.
