This mod is a quintessential example of this meme
My favorite part of this is that they have this, but then install all the nude female mods, or the big boob mods.
Like, I can’t find a decent male armor mod on Nexus without going through pages and pages of the most thirsty ass nude/skimpy mods. I know I can block them, but that also hides some gore related mods, so I just sit there and wonder at the depravity of people who look at polygons in the shape of a human and get off to it. :X
The only reason I can think someone would want to do this is because they are gay or bi and have not come to terms with that.
Definitely. Took all that time and tinkering to get rid of
their urgeswOkE pRoPaGaNdA!
Im super straight. Whoever makes me hard is a woman.
Where is this mod for Street Fighter so I can play 1v1 with my grandma without her passing out at the character select screen?
I have complicated feelings on this. (Note: I’ve yet to play BG3, I will eventually)
I’m bisexual, so I’d never ever install this mod. But I feel as though that I can’t say someone is explicitly wrong for doing so. Maybe they’re not the kind of person I’d want to interact with, and maybe I might not be able to help but judge them a little, but its their prerogative.
Like, should a person be expected to expose themselves to something they see as sexual if it makes them uncomfortable? Even if that discomfort stems from homophobia or fear of discovering that they are bi/gay? Like, this arguably is an issue of whatever the player consents to seeing.
It being included in the anti-woke modlist is funny though.
IMO you’ve consented to seeing sexual content when you continue purchasing and/or playing the game after seeing the content warning and age rating that includes “Nudity” and “Strong Sexual Content”.
That’s a good point, but IDK if that’d mean they consent to all sexual content in the sense that they might have some ignorant expectations of what they’ll find in the game with that rating.
This is obviously extremely tame compared to some of the stuff they probably just stumble over on the internet. Though obviously, they don’t consent to it if they decide to specifically install this mod.
Does this make everyone’s ass flatter or just Asterion’s? I’m genuinely curious. Because I know he isn’t the only one that’s caked up.
Even then, if it’s just Asterion and not other male characters, I don’t know what to make of it. I don’t think making an ass flatter is homophobic (although it certainly isn’t ally behavior). But it might reveal some internalized homophobia. Maybe. Again, I’m not really sure.
If it were all male characters and none of the female characters I’d be more concerned about sexism than homophobia. But that’s just me.
I assume just Asterion’s given that’s what the tweet suggests.

That’s an interesting take, could you elaborate?
Obviously, given that the mod seems to be just Asterion, it’s not a real concern. But if they were leaving women as they are (scantily clad, revealing outfits, etc) and de-sexualizing I’d be more concerned about why they feel it’s okay to objectify women and not men.
But it seems like it’s a moot point, anyway.
That’s what I suspected you meant. I agree that it is (partially) irrelevant to the topic of this post, but still I think its interesting enough that I want to engage with it if you don’t mind.
Sexualization is not intrinsically objectification. It can be but you’d have to make an assumption about their motivations for installing such a mod that I think is unrealistic in that case.
Further, keeping character’s you find attractive sexy and de-sexing characters who you (think you) find unnattractive on your own local private play through seems like something a person would do for the sake of enhancing a private fantasy. It’d be that they are treating the game as at least partly an erotic experience would be my assumption that would be damaged for them if the sexualization of certain character hurts that experience for them.
Of course I should reiterate that I’ve not played the game. So I might be missing some context. I have played Skyrim loaded with, ah-hem… certain mods. And I know why I installed those, and it wasn’t because I wanted to embrace objectification.
I mean, if we’re taking the example of flattening an ass on men and leaving round, partially exposed asses on women, I think we’re going beyond objectifying people. The game let’s you run around naked with genitals on display. If someone wants to have that kind of play experience, they can do it without mods. So if they feel the need to desexualize men and leave women in sexual roles, it tells me something about how they see women.
I’m not asking you to come to the same conclusion. You’re free to feel however you want.
So if they feel the need to desexualize men and leave women in sexual roles, it tells me something about how they see women.
It tells you how they see people they’re attracted to. Which happens to be women. (and maybe men but they’re denying that potentiality to themselves possibly)
I find both men and women physically attractive, but I do not find all men and women physically attractive. If I installed a mod that de-sexualized certain people but not by gender, would that mean I’m objectifying the people I find attractive?
Culture obviously plays a role here in making men see women as merely potential sexual play things. Even when I thought I was straight I never understood this on a personal level, because a major factor in finding someone sexy for me is precisely that they are not an object.
I told you don’t need to agree with me. Can we leave it at that? Or do you think it’s your job to change my mind?
Just today I was leaving the grocery store parking lot and saw some guy with a solid upper body load groceries into a lifted truck with a Trump sticker and the whole time I was worried about the poor guys tiny legs snapping.
Never skip leg day, folks.
That ass really had someone CONFUSED
This videogame character is making me have gay thoughts again!
Someone didn’t want to feel their feelings.
It “woke” something up inside of them
100% this is the film industry.
The reason for all the marvel capes is to hide man ass because the director :
1: is scared of homosexuals enjoying the film 2: denies women have sexual desires 3: is scared of his own homosexual desires
You mean the Marvel films that managed to put a gratuitous topless buff bloke shot in most of them?
Something I learned from fragile dudes: Looking at top nekkid men is not gay. It’s “checking out their routine“ and totally not a gay subconscious.
No, capes are because superheroes have their origin in comics, and on the static artwork of a comic, capes made it much easier to show action than regular clothing.
They had the option to remove capes. until you run simulations as is and the cape floats up too high to show man ass. Director gets uncomfortably mad at that.at least as far as dc is concerned.
Except americas ass
Lmaoooo
Mhhm, someone got undesired feelings when looking at Astarions ass and made a mod to remove the problem.
The length men will go to to not learn anything about themselves is impressive.They turned him into just Tarion
They turned him into Hank Hill…
That’s an all-American butt right there
Nothin’ at all…
Nothin’ at all…
NOTHIN’ AT ALL!
it’s a fetish at that point and you cannot convince me otherwise.
Dude spent his freetime styling an ass to his prefered shape. I think we’re kinkshaming him.
There is no such thing as a human that can look at those two asses and think #2 is better
Tbf unless they have Lululemon the second one looks more like an ass in pants
The first has a wedgie
Why were they staring at his ass in the first place…seems kinda sus fam…
