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.
