An adult member of sapient/sentient species--human, elf, dragonborn, devil, dragon, lizardfolk, halfling, or a elf temporarily transformed into a bear--can consent. That's the difference.

Elves, dragonborns, devils, dragons, lizardfolk and halflings are not real things.

But bears are.

What if it was an adult elf that transformed into a six year old - would it then be okay to show on screen?
That's...a fair response. I'd say No, mainly because it's too close to a real-world issue. Sexual abuse of children is a real and terrible issue that exploits their vulnerability and messes them up for life, while sex with bears (from what I know) isn't a significant problem.

There's a degree of separation in the fantasy that is comparable to sex with dragons, devils, and other fantastical beings. Of course we don't live in a vacuum, and must consider the impacts on the real world. However, showing a sex scene with an elf-turned-bear doesn't get anywhere near the bounds where it may approach causing real-world-harm. Sex with an elf-turned-bear is much closer to the fantastical "monsterfucker" situation--wanting to have a novel kinky sexual experience--that is ultimately practically harmless.

I suppose the more appropriate follow-up question is: what if Halsin turned into a dog? Does that change it's "okayness"? Imo it's more iffy, but a wolf would be *more* acceptable than a dog.
What if he turned into some other fantasy animal on four legs, that doesn't exist in our world?
