Eh, I'd like *less* in your face racial justice, but I'd be in favor of some naggy responses from Tav if Tav is also allowed to agree that gnomes are short-legged scum and are good for nothing other than being footballs.
You only skimmed my post, admit it.
I'll TL;DR it for you: I want Tav to be able to react to Astarion's personal insults, just like others can (gith to Shadowheart, tieflings to Lae'zel, everyone to Gale's diss, everyone to Astarion's vampire hunter comment, and so on).
If Astarion likens your Tav to an animal or acts like you're disgusting and you want to reply
"Yep, I'm short-legged scum and good for nothing other than being a football." well... I'm sorry about your self-esteem but more power to you, I guess.
In my opinion, if Astarion is willing to insult someone to their face, he should be open to some cognitive recalibration a la the Avengers.
