To be honest, originally I just commented that I generally agree with the sentiment, the dialogue could/should be changed, but I do not necessarily feel the need for an option to go after Astarion. I'm essentially agreeing with you and the thread but I just have a more realistic view of the matter. I'm sure Larian knows about this issue since it has been a topic of discussion in gaming circles since the game launched and not even a partial modification has been done in the past 5 patches.
I'm happy to answer all your questions as long as the forums load.
While it obviously would be incredible to have a cutscene that shows, we folloow Astarion, it'd be fine if the unnecessary rude/cruel comments from our companions were fixed/deleted and a dialogue option along the lines of: 1. let Astarion leave 2. follow Astarion to make sure he's safe were available.
Instead of forcing my character to ignore Astarion. Of course it would interfere with Karlach's cutscene but perhaps they could be switched around.
Even though Larian is (probably) aware, what's the harm in repeating the request? I haven't seen any feedback about the issue from their side yet.

Why is his huge character-defining moment turned into a tasteless joke?
I quote myself for easy access. It's the reply to your first post in this thread.
