Halsin says repeatedly during vthw game that he dislikes being objectified, so I find it both disturbing and baffling that Larian and the VA (though he seems like a nice person) keeps doing this.
The implications of doing such a thing is horrible, and it is honestly sickening to see this, in the same way it would be sickening to make fun of Astarions trauma. Or openly saying ||"Everyone should tell Gale to kill himself! Isn't it funny?"||
Now Halsin is a video game character, but we should not aspire to such behaviour that is being placed on real life people.
When others oversexualize a person, it can lead to various traumas and consequences:
Emotional Trauma: Oversexualization can cause profound emotional distress, leading to feelings of objectification, shame, and humiliation.
(Halsin shows clear signs of this)
Psychological Impact: It may result in low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and body image issues.
Boundaries and Consent: Oversexualization can blur boundaries and lead to instances of non-consensual behavior, contributing to feelings of violation.
(Did anyone say Halsin and SH?)
Impact on Relationships: It can strain personal and romantic relationships, as trust and intimacy may be compromised.
(No commitment?)
Victim Blaming: Oversexualized individuals may be unfairly blamed for the actions or intentions of others, exacerbating their trauma.
Reduced Autonomy: It may limit one's ability to make choices and decisions free from external sexualization.
Long-Term Effects: These experiences can have long-lasting effects on mental and emotional well-being, impacting future relationships and self-identity.
Is it possible for this practice to be stopped? Especially in light of all the negative feedback? The burst you got from the bear scene is over, and you have just had to release a patch to turn down the horny. Might I suggest you start limiting yourself of enabling behaviour you are advising as bad in the game itself?
