@ OP: How fragile of you ... I bet you're a real nice fedora wearing guy with a lot of lady friends IRL...
Besides the obvious bait, I actually do think that in hindsight the original joke/message from Larian is quite telling of the discrepancy between their wish for everything exotic/over-the-top and their audience's rather generic and banal preferences.
I don't think this proves anything gender or identity politics related, but rather that Larian is alienating part of the BG3 player base who wouldn't mind a bit of 'normality' in the game's world,story, characters. No need to do the whole "you're a special boy discovering his powers after a dramatic moment of rupture from your shire-like village" fantasy trope, but damn Larian, please give us at least one location where Faerun life is taking place almost normally. Like I dunno, maybe allow us to either restore the inn, or let us visit it before the raid. Perhaps add a few houses and a generic grocery store outside the grove walls, whatever, just give us something cozy, re-assuring and ordinary worldly to compensate for all the extra-ordinary exceptional mega-rare elements currently taking center stage in the game's world and story.
To be clear, I want to distance myself from the BS accusation and bait of OP (GFY and your fragile masculinity) but wanted to give my interpretation of the Larian statement he quotes.
