Huh.... The far too awkward delivery of the Emperor-sex-scene aside...
a fantasy metaphor for gay �otherness�: �can you accept me, despite my octopus sideshow form?�
I don't see the point of it being gay *at all*. What's all that about? The whole thing about being either straight or gay - is that you're sexually attracted to specific things. I can see how you can *love* someone/something alien or whatever, I can even see that you're attracted to it. But accepting something physically *even though* you don't want to.... Is just as forced as I, the straight white old-fashioned non-woke dude perceived it. Never mind the fact that the character in question is a mind-controlling villain. I thought the wokes were all about setting rules around consent.
Show me a straight girl who�ll immediately have sex with a ripped Adonis when he pulls his top off
Wait till you're over 35 and go unto the internet. All the recent divorcees want nothing but that. Tell them you like cats and remember your zodiac sign, it's enough.
Also, I mean, 50 Shades? There is a reason that is popular. It's about a handsome, creepy stalker dude with a domination fetish. That's Astarion. It's also why I, from the opposite demographic will typically stake the guy. Until I learned about the potion. He can stay in camp, suck a drow, get immediately murdered after and never raised again.
Playersexual, to me, warps any fictional authenticity of the characters.
Yes, and it makes everything particularly awkward, too. Everyone drooling over Tav is *terrible*
