At the same time, there were people in my post saying that there was no beastiality in this game because it was mutually consensual, so it isn't actually beastiality guys. I had sex with a magic shapeshifter, not a bear I swear. Like I'm not gonna argue whether having sex with a bear is beastiality or not over the internet, that's actually so bizarre.

I think though, The way they handled polyamory in this game definitely made people uncomfortable (for those who even find out it's in the game). What's more likely is that people simply choose to ignore it, likely just not that big a deal to them. While these writing inconsistencies are there and do bug me too, at the end of the day, it is a pretty silly thing to make a whole lot of hoopla about, hence why it's not talked about THAT much

You were more than respectful enough. But some people just don't want to have it changed because well, without these shocking moments the romance would be more plain. Not as interesting to talk about for those who don't get that invested in the story in the first place. "Halsin loved me and was very supportive in our relationship while my Dark Urge went through shit and wanted children in the epilogue, expected and boring." vs "Bear sex and fivesomes, sounds exciting, what do you mean does it make sense? Who cares!"

And it adds another issue with places like reddit: the fact that it's more or less moderated by the community. You get downvoted into oblivion for having an opinion, then you won't go back to share it the next time. And thus, it becomes an echo chamber, because all it takes is a majority to bully the rest away.

Wanting horny stuff at the expense of writing is a somehow even more silly position, I doubt there are many.

I think we all need to step back and just wait for larian to do something, they've been given PLENTY of feedback already, and there's nothing new to add anymore lol
True enough. It's mostly up to them to do something about it or ignore the feedback now. Never hurts keeping the conversation going of course, so long as we don't get into repeating too much. More feedback's always good!
