A piece of art that stands on it's own, especially an interactive one, sometimes may have elements that make people uncomfortable while being perfect in every other sense. For example, I remember in the BG3 subreddit a father that was asking if there is an option to completely hide choices that lead to sex scenes because he wanted to play with his son who is underage.I've never understood censorship, it's absurd.
Just tell people what's in the content; be it a game, porn, anything. Then if they don't like what's in said content be it beastiality, a fucking penis, nudity, swearing; don't fucking watch/play/read it, simple as that.
But everyone needs to have this sense of entitlement that if it's not for the weak minded then it simply can't exist. Man just stone the fuck up or get out god damn.
I've seen one too many a porn, P O R N, be censored due to having penis, P E N I S in it like, THAT'S THE MOTHER FUCKING P O I N T.
(I don't mean in advertisment, censorship can even be welcomed in that regard but censoring the actual already highlighted subjects within the content you knowingly click on is the absurd part).
BG3 is first and foremost a game, with fantasy elements and game-styled and mild violence that is a fairly common medium among all ages. The artist's vision is to include content that make it more interesting to people that like adult themes, like oppression, the allure of power, relationships and sex. Asking for the option to turn some of them off isn't necessarily an unreasonable proposition. After all, some countries like Australia only allow special versions of the game that lock certain types of content, like sex in exchange for either money, items of value or favors.
Of course, in reality the discussion is more complex than just banning sexual content, especially when people are perfectly fine with exposing minors to brutal violence like it's nothing, but any hint of sexual content sends the prude armies into overdrive.
Anyway, it's easy to adapt the mindset for a game like Superhuman which is heavy on sexual content and is marketed as such. The game stands on it's own on many levels, it has a power fantasy story that can work very well without the sexual content, so asking for it is kinda cheap. Modding it to hide choices related to sexual content and blanking out some of the unavoidable scenes shouldn't be too much of a hassle,.
