If you're asking whether I believe I was the character (webm for reference only, not my Tav) who was bitten by Astarion, the answer is no. I was curious, and to my shame, it was apparently an achievement. But I don't believe in self-insertion - that's usually at odds with roleplaying.
If you're asking whether I believe the scene is framed in a way that could be interpreted as sexual, the answer is yes. It's strange that this is rarely brought up as a legitimate reason to dislike Astarion.
If you're asking whether I take offense at someone having a rape fantasy, the answer is not really. Having a fantasy you can explore within the safety of your imagination is very different from a subhuman swine joking about rape for attention and doubling down because it lacks the empathy required to be human. Even more so when the subhuman apparently confuses the character with the voice actor, so the joke becomes more than bad taste. If we've wasted enough posts on the pig, we can resume talking about frogs and lizards.
