It is true that we have had similar discussions here before, and they have often been extremely uncomfortable, with posters appearing to equate monogamy with "good" routes and willingness to try more open relationships with "evil". It should be clear that this is likely to be upsetting and offensive to some forum members.
Can I remind everyone that this space is for everyone regardless of gender, gender identity/expression, sexuality, religion, race, ethnicity, or nationality. Offensive content or harassment on this basis, either personal or generalised, will not be tolerated?
If we do feel we need to discuss this topic again, please be respectful of your fellow forum members and very, very careful that what you say does not have negative implications about real life sexual preferences of others.
The association of "evil" happens because that's where their experience and trauma comes from but still doesn't make sense for it to be that way with many inconsistencies and wish for it to be changed on their "good" paths (Selune/Spawn). Maybe you a Mod can put in the good word for this to be changed and altered.
Red Queen is right, that poly is not evil. I do agree with you, that some characters make more sense than others and as I wrote in my extended version of my first post, I think Shadow being open to poly with the right person, might not be that out of the field. Astarion has had to
use sex to lure people to Cazador for 200 yearsso I would that call continued SA
, therefore I don't think, he works well here.
Halsin just doesn't work at all for me, because I don't think, he was ever written as a serious representation for poly, but basically a meme. And the way it is implemented including disapprovals, if you say no to Halsin, is not well done.
