I think I got similar (but lesser?) red flags about this when he mentioned it in one of my playthroughs, and I guess that owes to the ambiguity of the intention and presentation of this part of his backstory. It also feels like it is (or comes across as) an attempt to give players more reason to hate Drow, which feels disingenuous when a core part of this game is tackling racism (which it does well in some parts and poorly in others). I might have more thoughts on it if/when I get back to that scene, but I do think that even if it should be tweaked, his trauma response and some of his personality does make some sense for what he's been through.
Honestly, I'm surprised (both pleasantly and otherwise) by the response(s) to this subject. Also being a victim of abuse (not sexual, afaik) and having to deal with major pushback anywhere online about BG3's queer and fat implementation, it sparks hope but raises some eyebrows that the overall response was amenable to taking a second look at how Halsin/the game portrays his SA trauma as well as confessing your own.
