Yet, I still think Larian showing it off on this last panel was dumb. Its not because I think its morally wrong or anything, but they made this the topic of the stream.

I am 100% certain they choose that scene precisely for that reason. How many casual game players who haven't heard of this game learned about it because of the headlines.
"Larian's Baldur's Gate 3 now has playable monk class" doesn't draw as many eyes as (actual headline I saw, or close to it) "Larian's Baldur's Gate 3 has monks, bear-banging"
