I don't think, anyone should be mocked, but I personally don't care, if a character could go some way, I don't like. I just play the current character and roleplay them.
I played the Shadow romance in my first full playthrough as a lesbian romance ( for me personally, she has lesbian energy) and I had Halsin trying to insert himself twice, once in our camp and once on the road, when he had this swimming combo with Shadow. He sounded unhinged and like the typical ' nice guy', but I just did send him to horny jail ( camp, where he stays until Orin needs a victim in every playthrough).
I still don't understand why Halsin became a companion and not someone like Barcus, who actually has a story throughout all three acts and is pretty well liked ( so much do, that Wulbren became the most hated character for being mean to Marcus).
I personally don't care, that Shadow has poly tendencies, I think, it is not against her personality. I just don't see any chemistry with Halsin. I would team her up with someone like Lae'zel, the enemies to lover trope can be very impactful, if done well.
Again, I don't think it's ok to mock you for not being ok with it. It is ok to discuss it and have different opinions about it.
I just leave Halsin in camp nowadays,since he has nothing to add in act 3 but sexual innuendo and I really find him pretty 'ewww' personally, but he makes a great Orin victim.
