The way it is written in the game right now, it is clearly just a bad joke. Maybe it was very late and the writer was in the mood for a dirty joke to emphasize Halsin's image of a big man that everyone wants to have sex with.
If it was meant to be something important for the character, they wouldn't have added it in an optional scene.
From what I read, there were people who had to refrain from playing because of this joke. I really understand that it can be helpful to have representation, but do you really think this will work based on a dirty joke that the writer clearly didn't give a second thought?
I am afraid I might come off as being offensive, but in asking for Halsin's background to be expanded, you also ask for expanding what made some people (also victims) stop playing BG3. In this case, maybe you could ask yourself: If they remove his background, will you stop playing the game? If not, then maybe its fair to remove it and give other victims a chance to come back. No matter if they are male or female victims, if it hurts people enough to stop playing a game they paid for(!), I feel like it's a bad idea to expand on that.
@Lyricus: I really like how thoughtful you write, how you are explaining your opinion and I want to thank you for that.
