    I would have watched game of thrones without the porn.

      I legit can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or not, because it perfectly encapsulates the weird way america is so blase about depictions of graphic, gleeful violence while simultaneously being horrified at seeing a nipple.on tv.

        I’m asexual. I am less interested in a show when it appears to be popular through being needlessly titillating.

          I’m not asexual or American (I’m also not a teen, 30) but the fact that baldurs gate 3 has sex in it and everyone talks about it like as if it’s the most important part of the game makes me want to play it less. Sex seems weird to be in such a world.

          Sometimes i wish media would just focus more on what mattered to what it is, because for the amount I hear of it bg3 seems to be a fantasy romance simulator.

            People just talk about who their fave picks are to romance, but it’s not all the game is about. You still learn more about the characters as you grow close to them if you aren’t romancing them.

            They’re pretty easy to not engage with, and for me they felt less awkward than almost any other video game sex scene.

            People always focus on the romances, but I feel like you could take them out completely and still have pretty much the same great game.

      What you didn’t want to see a dude fuck his sister, a dude rape a teenager, or a little dude fuck a bunch of prostitutes?

      For all the time GRRM spends describing sex, he really goes out of his way to make it as fucked up as possible.

      I watched game of thrones and enjoyed the ride. I think this is more okay because you know what you’re getting into. I have to be in the mood for a bunch of crazy violence and sex and if I am would watch game of thrones. Probably the push back is jamming it into ever thing they possibly can.
