>Heh, the joke wasn't about Astarion being raped, you misunderstood
Plausible deniability is no longer plausible when there is a pattern of the slopswine being hypocritical (1), being unable to admit fault, even for something as inconsequential as a semantic mistake (2), constantly repeating the aforementioned "joke" and bragging about it being "/bgg/ culture" (3), and spewing stupid headcanon, such as the companions having abusive parental figures revealing something about their writers (4).

Rambling about how BG3 is a game that makes people feel "seen," only to later joke about sexual abuse that might be sensitive for people is hypocritical.

The common denominator is an utter lack of care for who these characters are or what they might mean to some. So no, I don't think that "joke" was "accidentally" offensive. I think that when a pattern repeats itself over years, it indicates true colors - especially on an anonymous website, where there shouldn't be any need to posture as either a saint or a piece of shit. When the pig repeats a pattern for two years, it's no longer a gimmick or a persona - it's simply what it is. In this case, subhuman.

The pig's empathy knows no bounds. It jokes about Astarion being raped then doubles down.
>Technically, it would be impossible for Godey to have sexually abused Astarion, Godey being in fact a skeleton and lacking any necessary organs.

>you must consume a certain number of tadpoles, AND the Astral Tadpole at the end of Act 2
This is LITERALLY what the entire discussion was about, illiterate moron. Those that are unethical enough to slurp the astral tadpole AND also use magic soap to remove the icky side of that deal with the squid. Dear Mintharafag, I have no reading comprehension, but must "contribute" to discussions I was not invited to.

>Slop & Hypocrisy
>None of the elements present in the game suggest that Astarion was ever sexually abused
>Being sexually abused is not the same as being used as a prostitute to attract hundreds of victims for your master.

>Shar was accurately portrayed as a vindictive and petty goddess, simply because the writers hate their parents and needed another awful parental figure
Genuine, not performative stupidity.

>>None of the elements present in the game suggest that Astarion was ever sexually abused
>Being sexually abused is not the same as being used as a prostitute to attract hundreds of victims for your master.

Not a subhuman, by the way.
