This has been about one thing and one thing only - Larian gaining publicity by stirring up some ponds. They knew exactly what they were doing when they pitched that scene, approved it, implemented it and decided to present it publicly as one of the few highlights of their massive game. It has nothing to do with worldbuilding and lore, it was intended to be provocative and edgy and I consider that to be very low on their part.
Except
everyone in the audience wanted to see exactly what would happen and they all laughed at it and were thrilled to see the variety of choices. So is it Larian intentionally trying to be "edgy & provocative" or did they simply show the wide variety of wild choices by giving people exactly what they were yelling for. I personally couldn't stop laughing during this segment and the squirrel at the end utterly killed me, it was brilliant.
If they wanted to be provocative and edgy, they could have simply shown Dark Urge dismembering a live child and eating its limbs while it's still breathing so that dumbass Kotaku can write another anti-white article about the game. So sorry to say, but I disagree with your mindset which you're trying to justify when the actual reality of things is entirely different from it. I do not think there is a single person romancing Halsin that would not be even slightly curious about all of the choices presented just for the sake of seeing how far the story could go.
