Thing is I don't see the twist, exactly. Marielle's message (or what I understood, at least) is that they think Larian didn't mean to punish anyone but was instead trying to make sexy content for the SM audience and hired someone that specialised in that. I don't really see the difference...?
In the old post of Marielle's that's what's being said, yes, but now you're implying inspirations by that content as for the reason we have these animations now. Marielle never said that.

And I posted that as an example of you derailing the thread with discussions about how others' ideas are wrong and steering it towards "Ascended Astarion" is an abuser.
People are feeling very upset right now, and it feels like you're baiting them to start discussions.
That Sadistic 3D porn inspired the animations felt like what was being implied here, like that was what the animator meant to replicate when they got the text instructions, perhaps I got the wrong idea. Again it feels like a strange nitpick, my /main/ point is that I don't think the faces were meant to be sexy or that they outsourced it to a porn animator, which isn't really twisting anything that hasn't been said.
Again, Veranis was curious about my caveats. I didn't explain them at all originally. Your quote is me replying to Veranis.
You might not agree with me discussing things here, that's fine. But me saying that I find it unlikely that something was the writer's intent or whatever isn't me saying anyone's wrong. It's not that personal, at least to me. I'm free to disagree too, I think. I've tried to be careful in always expressing that these are my opinions, I don't know if I've slipped up but I have at least tried not to.
