I personally view these patch 6/7 kisses as already including non-con without a trigger warning in the game. Again, an unwitting new player who never played before would expect to get only a kiss, when asking for a kiss. They did not consent to anything extra. Honestly, I wish Larian had been more careful and never put this kind of extreme content in without a proper warning, in the first place. It should have been easy to predict that these animations would have upset people no matter what the expressions were. But Pandora's box has already been opened.

Also, the thing with Haarlep is already non-con in the game. I also dislike that scene, but at least it's obvious to a player what's going to happen if you "take your clothes off." I would argue that's warning enough, because it's indicative of the direction things are headed. It is not clear to a new player what else is going to happen if they ask AA for a kiss.

I wish my safety and comfort mattered to people too. I'm advocating for a choice, because I'm not trying to take anything away from anyone. If I still had insurance and money, I would have already booked another therapist appointment to process why I got so triggered by the new expressions. I don't have that, but at least I can voice my concerns about all of this.
