I would never select such a silly option. If I'm reading a book or watching a film I'm not going to skip pages or fast forward any badly directed scenes. That is just ruining the experience. Same applies to games. I will take everything in and I will judge poor content.
Unaware, or by calling it out on a forum or something in between.

My problem is strictly with the quality of the scenes in BG3. It seems they were directed by a 14 year old.
this. the way sex is depicted is like a bunch of tweens snickering about seeing nipples for the first time, being defended like some great "mature, adult oriented, deep addition" to the narrative.

it's just masturbation.
I think this is probably the first time I've agreed with you. Same with DiDiDi's point below you. The "adult" themes are remarkably youthful in a way, not "childish," but youthful. I wouldn't call any of the romance content (or a lot of suggestions on the forum for that matter) deep, insightful (not that it has to be), or mature. I think it's just a fundamental perception thing. The game (and forum) has a certain set of eyes through which it views the world. There's a lack of "act like you been here before." Romance and sex are treated as something more mystical than magic itself, which is odd.
