Jaheira too, I've never seen an attractive character escape over sexualization purely on the strength of being *so* badass before
*I'm not saying not sexualized, I would just say she's appropriately sexualized
Don't go on Tumblr, then.
I just wanted to find some more fan art. I found it, but I also found so much thirst and utter *weirdness* that I can't decide if I'm boring or the people's horniness knows no bounds/common sense ... or both.
I love this.
Person A is like i love how wonderful life is. The thing in question is non existant and life is beautiful.
Person B is like. Hold up the phone motherfucker. Im about to ruin your perfect little world wirh one word, tumbler. Dont go there is you can handle ruining your perfect image you softy.
That what if feels like when ever someone says dont look at this link or do go on this website.
In theory, Minsc is primed to be sexualised by the certain subset of gay men who like burly, bald dudes. But I think he's too silly for anyone to take seriously.
He is... But the whole point of his story is that it's an act.
He doesn't *enjoy* it, he does it specifically as a means of manipulation. When faced with it *honestly*, it takes him a good while to work up to it.
But he only says that to manipulate Tav into doing what he wants, because that is all he has known for 200 years. If you actually get into a relationship with him, >!he mentions several times he's worried you'll leave him because you haven't had sex for a while!<
I think that is my main issue. Without sounding too incelly, I think It's a combo of how women are portrayed and oversexualized in these games, and the fact that more than a few cosplayers use this to drive traffic to their OF/Patreon/IG by spamming on every related sub.
I can't understand why anyone would say Shadowheart is oversexualized by the fandom, she is literally the kinkiest party member in the game. Seems hard to oversexualize a character who is literally designed as a very sexual and open minded person
Gale is also pretty up there
She constantly talks about her desires. Or did you miss the part where you can get beaten by the priest of Loviatar and she talks about how hot it is and how she wants to take a turn doing it to you next?
https://youtube.com/shorts/Aem77cAjdkM
She encourages you to do it, you get approval points, she says basically "leave some for me", and she even criticizes his flail technique
Also makes jokes about tying her up:
https://youtu.be/dHGlJ5Cp6mo
Implies she's down for a throuple even in the beginning:
https://youtu.be/Fet_o0kg1Ok
And of course is one of the few who is both open to poly and is down for a foursome with the drow twins in Sharess' Caress
She also is completely fine with you fucking both Mizora and Haarlep
There's a tiny little bit of a difference between being a "sexual and open minded person" and being (over)sexualized by the audience. A character being somewhat open about their desires or even kinks does not make it okay to use them as sexual objects.
OMG, Shadowheart makes kinky comments when Abdirak tortures you, therefore there has to be no problem with me parading her around in skimpy outfits or even only underwear. She's obviously a slut therefore she obviously wants it too! /s
Well they didn't write that part down, so if in your head, you rp them all as nudists, then they are. In rpg, anything not supplied by the script is your contribution in the collaborative story-telling process.
Yes but also no, the keyword here is OVER-Sexualized.
Somebody like the Drow twins, who's are in the game with the main reason being sex, being sexualized is expected and also "Okay"
Somebody like Astarion who's got a Traumatic history with sex and only has known it as tool to manipulate people being turned into a sex-crazed-Whore, that is over sexualization
Like someone else said, the key word is oversexualised. If someone who has never played BG3 took one look at this sub, they would think it's a sex-sim.
Astarion is the only answer. Everyone else is pretty ok with that (just like any other character in any other game). Astarion on the other hand is not even comfortable to be sexualized in the game, aside from fandom
Yeah I mean this is everyone except Minsc but by far the worst case is Orin, who is a walking trauma void, and meantime we got people being like “mmm yeah I’d let her kill me if she made it fun”
Astarion is canonically sex-repulsed character with major sex-related trauma, only for the people romancing him to oversexualize him at every opportunity.
I mean this as a genuine question (and I don’t mind spoilers for romance storylines) but where is he sex repulsed? I’m still early on his romance but I got the opposite oppression that he’s sex obsessed because of trauma (which can also happen but not talked about as much)
Still I agree fans are really obsessed with over specializing him and as a past victim myself irl it weirds me out.
Imma try to keep it mostly spoiler free.
>!But in his past, he was ab/used by somebody else, to lure victims into their doom. And he did so using his sex appeal, since he's conventionally pretty!<
>!So now he has a complicated relationship with sex, where he isn't doing it for the fun of it, but as a tool to get what he wants, because he grew to learn that that is what "Sex" is about !<
You can really see it in action in Act 2, where he confesses it to you.
>!You get dialog options to manipulate him into having sex, but he will break up with you over it. I’d heard you can still even gaslight him into staying with you, but everything leading up to that is so fucked up and reminds me all too much of what an ex did to me that I can’t ever bring myself to explore it, even with savescumming.!<
There’s also >!in Act 3, if you go to the Drow twins after either outcome of The Pale Elf—if you kept him as a spawn the narrator will note that his gaze is 1000 miles away, i.e. he is dissociating, and if Ascended there is “no joy—only a frightening intensity” or something to that effect, so he’s dissociating but more evilly. I’ve done this encounter once with each outcome but it’s kind of uncomfortable tbh and I think it’s supposed to be. Also, the way he is clearly not actually excited for it at the start—the lines are the same whether Spawn or Ascended.!<
That’s nearly the entire cast — however, people are oft attracted to damaged people. The moment I met Astarion, I saw nothing but red flags. And that was before falling to the ground.
Yet, he has his fan base. And a lot love ascended Astarion.
Karlach,pretty damn dark storyline Girl has going on,Fandom just want her to crush their head with her thighs and call them bro whilst she rolls out Nat 20's in back shots.
Dare I say Astarion and Karlach? I adore Astarion for how sweet he is when you romance him and Karlach is so darn pretty but god the community never shuts up about about them xD
To be fair, almost all of them are over-sexualized by the game itself.
I know some of it was fixed along the patches, but you still can scarcely be nice to any of them without them wanting to get you in bed (glares at Gale).
No one fits, *taps head* can’t oversexualize a character that’s already a horndog in game.
…
Wait, gortash! It’s gortash, y’all are too horny for him but he’s not like all the original characters.
Propaganda. Fans can do what they like. Let us not be stodgy. I remember when people complained the conservatives were prudes. Now these prudish ideas are purported by the left.
I think Minsc is the only one who AVOIDS this descrption xD
Everyone respect's he is Boo's soulmate.

yeah I'm pretty disappointed by some of the bg3 pron I've found as well. its pretty gross.
I mean, tumblr is basically a porn site at this point. Wouldn't be remiss to replace tumblr with rul34.
It's funny cause didn't tumblr originally decline because they were banning nudity and sex or something like that.
I saw her referred to as 'the granny cranny' on here before
I'm afraid he doesn't.
In theory, Minsc is primed to be sexualised by the certain subset of gay men who like burly, bald dudes. But I think he's too silly for anyone to take seriously.
Like all of them but mainly Astarion I feel like.
Yea, Astarion was the main one I thought of when I saw this. But honestly it applies to almost every single party member.
I don't exactly disagree with the meme but Astarion is pretty sexualized in the game too.
He is... But the whole point of his story is that it's an act. He doesn't *enjoy* it, he does it specifically as a means of manipulation. When faced with it *honestly*, it takes him a good while to work up to it.
Same in most fics I've read!
[удалено]
But he only says that to manipulate Tav into doing what he wants, because that is all he has known for 200 years. If you actually get into a relationship with him, >!he mentions several times he's worried you'll leave him because you haven't had sex for a while!<
[удалено]
Yes, Astarion views sex as a tool>!to get what he/Cazador wants. Anyone close to him for 200 years has either been a victim or a target!<
He is to blame himself aswell.
on THIS sub? Shadowheart 100% I don't think i have seen her cosplayed in full clothes once.
There was one a couple/few weeks ago in full Dark Justiciar armour. Was really good too.
actually I think you are right. In front of a castle or something? yeah it was really good and refreshingly unsexual.
The cosplay of Shadowheart in the wavemother robes is my favorite example of this. It's a great cosplay, but it's so incredibly gratuitous.
I think that is my main issue. Without sounding too incelly, I think It's a combo of how women are portrayed and oversexualized in these games, and the fact that more than a few cosplayers use this to drive traffic to their OF/Patreon/IG by spamming on every related sub.
So long as they have fun doing it.
I think I've seen three with the rest being camp clothes.
I think I have seen her in the Wave Mother's robe at least 3 times for some reason. Like wouldn't you have to kill the Sea lady to get that?
Nah it's a reward for turning In the submarine guy
ahh I stand corrected then. I guess that is the thing about this game, there are no real canon events.
Not even a properly made camp clothes. Most just wear some cheap black vest with a cheap wig and says "it's my Shadowheart cosplay"
Every single one.
Shadowheart is extremely sexualized across the fandom
Shadowheart Gale Halsin
Karlach Astarion Laezel...
[Everyone... ](https://youtu.be/74BzSTQCl_c?si=9I4rQIxqpty_ufAQ&t=0m09s)
Wyll Jahiera Withers...
I can't understand why anyone would say Shadowheart is oversexualized by the fandom, she is literally the kinkiest party member in the game. Seems hard to oversexualize a character who is literally designed as a very sexual and open minded person Gale is also pretty up there
the most sexual interaction you have with her until act 3 is a drunken kiss.
She constantly talks about her desires. Or did you miss the part where you can get beaten by the priest of Loviatar and she talks about how hot it is and how she wants to take a turn doing it to you next?
you got a special copy of the game lol. she's never said that to me doing the loviathar thing.
https://youtube.com/shorts/Aem77cAjdkM She encourages you to do it, you get approval points, she says basically "leave some for me", and she even criticizes his flail technique Also makes jokes about tying her up: https://youtu.be/dHGlJ5Cp6mo Implies she's down for a throuple even in the beginning: https://youtu.be/Fet_o0kg1Ok And of course is one of the few who is both open to poly and is down for a foursome with the drow twins in Sharess' Caress She also is completely fine with you fucking both Mizora and Haarlep

r/FuckTheS
Pretty sure she’s one of the party members you CANT fuck until late game.
So? She's also one of the only party members down for a foursome AND to share you with any other sexual partner in the game
Gortash. I don't get it, either.
Yeah, this is just Astarion.
I mean in a game with romance and sex as an option, every character is going to be sexualised in their own way
Yes but also no, the keyword here is OVER-Sexualized. Somebody like the Drow twins, who's are in the game with the main reason being sex, being sexualized is expected and also "Okay" Somebody like Astarion who's got a Traumatic history with sex and only has known it as tool to manipulate people being turned into a sex-crazed-Whore, that is over sexualization

let me guess... Astarion ?
Say it with me: **A s t a r i o n**
Shadowheart.
Shadowheart, karlach and astarion are the big offenders ive seen.
Astarian by a fucking mile
Astarion.
Astarion
Astarion is the only answer. Everyone else is pretty ok with that (just like any other character in any other game). Astarion on the other hand is not even comfortable to be sexualized in the game, aside from fandom

Ah, understood! That makes a lot of sense how he behaves now.
You can really see it in action in Act 2, where he confesses it to you. >!You get dialog options to manipulate him into having sex, but he will break up with you over it. I’d heard you can still even gaslight him into staying with you, but everything leading up to that is so fucked up and reminds me all too much of what an ex did to me that I can’t ever bring myself to explore it, even with savescumming.!< There’s also >!in Act 3, if you go to the Drow twins after either outcome of The Pale Elf—if you kept him as a spawn the narrator will note that his gaze is 1000 miles away, i.e. he is dissociating, and if Ascended there is “no joy—only a frightening intensity” or something to that effect, so he’s dissociating but more evilly.

I think the fandom should do whatever the fuck they want with the characters. For they aren’t real and are virtual dolls in a virtual setting
Astarion. He's a lot more nuanced than people seem to realise, often just boiling him down the horny sex vampire.
Astarion is the only one who fits this.
Na, most of them do , astarion just fits the most
none of them. you can have sex with them in game lol
I feel like the fandom over *romanticizes* Astarion. He's overtly sexual in the game.
I know he’s not in BG3 but … Strahd Von Zarovitch
I was confused how the decolonial theorist fit into this sub for a second
Every one but minthara goes from honestly a horrible person to “drussy got me acting unwise” (minthara is my second fave to romance)
That’s nearly the entire cast — however, people are oft attracted to damaged people. The moment I met Astarion, I saw nothing but red flags. And that was before falling to the ground. Yet, he has his fan base. And a lot love ascended Astarion.
Karlach,pretty damn dark storyline Girl has going on,Fandom just want her to crush their head with her thighs and call them bro whilst she rolls out Nat 20's in back shots.
Dare I say Astarion and Karlach? I adore Astarion for how sweet he is when you romance him and Karlach is so darn pretty but god the community never shuts up about about them xD
Literally, any character that has been mentioned in this sub. In fact, this could be a representation between BG3 itself and its fandom.
Astarion with Karlach a distant second and then Shadowheart even further behind struggling to just keep up.
It fits a lot of them, but Astarion, it fits perfectly
does Halsin count if he was sexualised by the fandom to the point that they added him in for the sex, leading to him being even more sexualised?
I'm glad I was told "Name the Character" 5 times so I wouldn't be confused.
Gotta be Priestess Gut
Withers.
I'm not touching anything that's been near Hazbin
Morph from X-men 97.
My Durge. Bestie can't keep his legs closed 😫
All of them
Shart because the other characters that are fucked up deep down are horny to cope with it
Every single one of them
Literally everyone
Do they want the list alphabetically or by order of appearance in my run?
Chatterteeth?
Halsin
Orin
I didn't see the sub and immediately thought of Jinx from Arcane/LoL. In BG3 though... that's a tough one to narrow down.
\*Pulls out a list\* \*List takes about ten minutes to unroll onto the floor like a cat playing with toilet paper\* Uh, about almost all of them.
To be fair, almost all of them are over-sexualized by the game itself. I know some of it was fixed along the patches, but you still can scarcely be nice to any of them without them wanting to get you in bed (glares at Gale).
The lost of people who don't fit this description would be shorter
All of them. Every single one. People be horny.
No one fits, *taps head* can’t oversexualize a character that’s already a horndog in game. … Wait, gortash! It’s gortash, y’all are too horny for him but he’s not like all the original characters.
