A Thread about Druid Halsim's Romance Scene in animal form.

[XGear]

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.

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 crazy.

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.

You could have a game with torture, gore, genocide and other horrifying ♥♥♥♥ going on but people will still get more weirded out by something sexual happening, which I dont get.

Xgear must be trying and failing hard to win the "Troll of the Year" Awards.

To quote the Hotel New Hampshire by John Irving "Typical American. She would bring her daughter to see a murder but wouldn't even let her hear an orgasm."

Are we really doing the Bear Sex = Pedophilia thread again?

[Chaosolous]

Give me his awards instead.

[AsianGirlLover]

They laughed because they have a sense of humor.

Can you understand that they were "Enjoying" it so much that they smiled and applauded it? I know it's a game, but the scene itself, false or not, should cause repulsion and disgust, not a feeling of joy and approval. Humanity is sick.

Meanwhile earlier today tons of people died from all sorts of stuff, most of it preventable, and I took a truly MASSIVE dump that clogged the septic system and that probably ruined the plumber's day.

But also, nobody cares and the sun still rises tomorrow.

In the late 1800's a newcomer from San Francisco arrived at a Alaskan frontier town to make his fortune in gold mining.

For a few days he trying to make friends with the local towns people but they would have nothing to do with this greenhorn.

So he finally went to the saloon and talk to the barkeeper who was the only one who even bothered to give him the time of day.

"What does a fella have to do to be accepted around here in this finicky town?" he asked.

The barkeeper gave him a considering look and finally told him, "To be accepted around here one must pass 3 tests if he wants to be one of us."

"What are these 3 tests? I must know!" stated the newcomer.


The barkeeper than told him:

First you must drink this keg of whisky without spilling a drop.

Second you must kill a polar bear.

and Third you must make love to an Eskimo woman.


"Well I can do that!" exclaimed the newcomer and grabbed the keg the barkeeper pointed to and sure enough drank it all down without spilling a drop then staggered out of the saloon.

The barkeeper and the locals who had been apprised by him, waited for the newcomer to return but days went by and the newcomer still hadn't return. As the days turn to a couple of weeks they all gave up on him figuring he either gave up and return back to San Francisco or met an untimely demise.

Finally one night the newcomer returned, stumbling into the saloon still reeking of whiskey. His appearance was horrifying for his clothes were torn to ribbons and his face and body was covered in bruises and bloody slashes.

The newcomer glared back at them and exclaimed in a loud but slurred voice, "Where's that Eskimo woman you want me to kill?"

However, in this parable, who would be the confused drunk? The Open Post or The world that approves the subject of the thread?

[The_Dipl0mat]

Serious reply, it's because it's scene played for laughs. Hence the squirrel droppin a nut

If it was a genuine scene where you saw your avatar getting raw dogged (beared?) by bear Halsin with the roars and ♥♥♥♥ you'd have a case

Because there are other threads rehashing this same argument. It's all pointless, nobody agrees, the OPs were all farming for jesters or were trying to troll.

If it grosses you out, go to church and stop playing video games with sexable partners.
