Well! It's been a while since I've posted on these forums but it's nice to see some familiar faces, even the ones I've had disagreements with on certain topics in the past.
I'm genuinely impressed that someone brought up the existence of BG3 fanbase outside of these forums. (I honestly love your post Filia, seeing how most people here like to ignore that side.) Now people that post on these forums (myself included) haven't always been as courteous in their disagreements as you might come to expect from adults conversing online but I do think that we for the most part we have managed to keep it respectful. (some posters more than others
)
The unfortunate part is that these forums are irrelevant to the bigger picture surrounding this game. And why do I say that? Because the posters and the topics being discussed here are irrelevant to the devs over at Larian.
If people just took a step towards the BG3 fanbase on X (formerly known as Twitter) or Tumblr, hell even Reddit they would be appalled by how people conduct themselves and what absolute (and I do apologies for saying this but its true) degeneracy that is being said and injected into this game and its fanbase. From name calling, to revenge rape fiction writing, harassments, accusations of all kinds of things etc. Which is kind of funny because these are the same people that hide themselves behind the image of acceptance and the whole kumbaya, lets hold hands and be loving spiel.
I don't think that I have seen a more porn brained and hateful gaming community since I don't even know when to be honest. (not to say that others are good)
Filia is right, people are giddy at the thought of calling anyone and anything all kinds of isms and phobics as soon as you say something they might disagree with and in most cases it does not apply. To give you an example that I alongside many others have experienced, is being called homophobic for saying that having sex with animals is something you shouldn't be proud of or that it shouldn't be portrayed as okay. (also the absurdity of equating being gay with copulating with animals jfc.)
The reason as to why I'm bringing this up is that Larina devs/writers are mainly interacting with and catering to this crowd. And I honestly do not see anything good coming out of it. Not for me, for you or anyone whose interest isn't and I quote 'breeding Halsins bussy' (grotesques picture not included) or anything similar concerning other companions.
Also while I'm here I have to ask this (I know it isn't on topic but it's connected to the fanbase and the game).What is up with peoples obsession with fully animated sex scenes? I mean, is that really necessary in a game? (just my curiousty
)
edit. Go for an edit and immediately get a 'gateway timeout', nice to see that forums are still being operated by overworked hamsters.
