I’m asking this somewhat weird question because I found a nexus collection built upon loverslab stuff with like 200 unrelated mods that are awesome together. It’s amazing until I encounter any of the sex stuff. Dongs of Skyrim is just funny af and I don’t count it. The physics alone lmao.
Mostly though, it’s male gazey, objectifying (every woman is a potential partner and an install option allows the user to have guaranteed suave charm that can’t fail), BUT it’s all optional and if the creator hadn’t merged a bunch of stuff to get past some technical hard mod limits and conflicts I would be able to remove them. Outside the sex stuff, it’s deeply immersive and atmospheric. I just, feel bad, every time I realize that yes I’m playing a mod pack for fetishists that turn every npc into a potential sex slave. Its…. Gross.
I don’t know, I guess I’m asking what thoughts are on the game equivalent of separating art from artist in terms of avoidable mechanics that provide a problematic tint to the whole thing nonetheless. It’s hardly a pressing moral Issue, but it made me curious to see if anyone here had thoughts on the whole thing.
Hey, you asked "...if anyone here had thoughts on the whole thing", and my thoughts are 'you should find the uninstall button.'
