You know the game is fiction, right?
I think they were just making a joke.
Is it a joke though? Whole swaths of the internet legitimately have no ability to separate fiction from reality... really seems like this guy (and at least one other reply to him) is upset at Neil Newborn for things Astarion did.
If it's a joke, Poe's Law is in full effect, because I've met so many people who are actually like this.
Exactly. It's happened before, and it will happen again.
And even if the person posting that knows the difference, not everyone here knows the context. So even if, with benefit of the doubt, we all know it's a joke about his character, anyone reading this thread who isn't familiar with the story of Baldur's Gate 3 is going to get the impression that the voice actor is a sex pest if not outright abuser.
