This isn't okay. What is supposed to be the feedback for the game here? This is just dogpiling on a specific writer, name change or no (which is virtually useless given you're linking their interviews). There already are threads (several of them, in some cases) for the concerns regarding different details about Astarion's romance. You've linked them too. There is no need to make a separate one with the sole purpose of targeting someone.

It's also worth noting that as far as we know, they're responsible for any nods to the "bride ritual", and the AA lines everyone loves, like the references to David Bowie or the Durge line about "sitting naked on his lap" or, well, "Aeterna Amantes". That wasn't Rooney. Who, by the way, also went on to mention a couple times the "author" you're referring to by name to say that they've written major chunks of the Astarion romance. Rooney has done nothing but reaffirm that Astarion is a collaborative effort.
