"Reportedly" ? How hard would it be to verify this claim ? Now that's some investigative journalism !

Daily Mail is a trash newspaper in the UK. It should completely be ignored as being factual.

They went blind while researching the game, so were unable to verify it definitively.

Is it because female body types in this game are smaller than males but the penis size remains the same, so they only appear larger?

86

Yes. A fat person penis will look smaller despite being the same size as another who is normal.

Lol can't handle the tiefling barbarian Futa cock, huh? Pathetic.

Whoa. I thought you just described my lady, but she’s a futa Tiefling Druid.

It's genuinely hilarious that I wasn't sure if this was a real headline or not. It really does seem like the type of shit they'd write

TIL you can hang dong in Baldur's Gate 3.

To be fair, there are only two female genital options in BG3. Both called "vulva", and the only difference is one has public hair while the other does not. If it were even remotely "woke", not only would the options be more than "innies", but they'd be more representative of realistic variance. /my2¢

I honestly wish game devs would put their effort somewhere else. I hardly ever see my character naked. Having genital options just feels like a sales gimmick for teenagers

13

Hey game dev, hope you're okay missing your son's first steps coz we're busy crunching out those vulva options for our fantasy rpg.

6

It's actually race specific, there's at least 3 vulvas, tho i wouldn't be able to tell you the differences

DailyMail get don't mad about optional shit in a video game challenge (IMPOSSIBLE). Seriously, I turned the nudity off. Its one of the first things it asks you about.

Foiled again, nobody is immune to propoganda. Thank you, insightful lemming for stemming the tide of disinformation.

No need to worry, I ensured I was jerking the nearest geometric shape when I commented.

What?! I just wanted to have sex with a bear, and now I find out abouy depravity like this?!

20

The headline is made up, but it's impossible to tell whether it's a joke or designed to manufacture outrage.

15

If you've messed around with Skyrim, uh, mods, you'll know that these sizes bug out all the time. Probably less about being woke and more "I put 5 as a value for penis size, but 5 means different things in the male and female models"

15

I guarantee they were “thinking of the children” while fondling their character’s options.

It has been well known for a while that BG allows modification to genitalia. It isn't woke bashing enough to say, BG allows someone to make a trans character. Their base doesn't give a fuck about someone playing a computer game but add in the extra feminist shtick about larger penis size and boy howdy, that's some wedge issue cultural war bullshit to flog clicks.

It's some wedge issue culture war bullshit that'll ultimately help sell more copies of Baldur's Gate.

I think it's awesome that we can create characters from marginalized people in current society, when people get used to something it becomes normal and accepted. It's a good thing, not some wedge issue. We need to be more accepting of people that do nothing but be themselves as long as it's not trying to push down others.

6

Most definitely. The thing with BG delivery of the opportunity to create marginalised characters is that it was largely done without fanfare, it's just an option.

That's exactly what angry gammons say they want, so the papers are trying to stir the pot with this absurd female dick angle.

Speaking only for myself, I made sure to look at all the races naked when creating my character.

11

Can I get a cloaca on a human? That’s the customizability I really want.

I literally see comments in steam discussions about random games with the title "is this game woke?"

Fucking propaganda man... It's so annoying.

Tell me you're a brainwashed Reich wing media consumer without telling me you're a brainwashed Reich wing media consumer. I just roll my eyes and move on.

Seriously. And they have the gall to call US the snowflakes. Choke on my half-orc girl cock, losers.

Also, the franchise has always been quite woke for its era. Why would they stop now?

6

Yup, I remember the D20 modern rulebook alternated using "he/him" and "she/her" throughout the text. One class section would use "he/him" to describe the archetypical character for that class, and the next would use "she/her".

I remember it left an impression on me as a teenage boy.

Some women do have dicks, and some MtF don't get dysphoria from their dicks. We're not a monolith.

You could have just opened with this, and then we could have all ignored you

3

And if you don’t get dysphoria you’re not actually trans.

Even if this statement was correct (it's not BTW), there would still be women with dicks who have no desire to get them removed, due to how much dysphoria varies. Physical dysphoria is only one type of dysphoria among several, and even with physical dysphoria, there's no guarantee that it will apply to one's genitals specifically.

I'm nonbinary, and the majority of dysphoria I experience is social. I find many of the gender roles and social norms applied to my AGAB confusing and distressing to participate in. I do have some physical dysphoria as well, but it mostly pertains to body hair. Frankly, I like my penis and have no desire to get rid of it.

Either educate yourself on the various ways gender dysphoria can manifest, or kindly fuck off.

Maybe they just want to be a chick with a dick? Not a fully presenting woman?

Dick with a chick. A 6ft6 muscular and anthropomorphic barbarian penis with a 10 inch barbarian lady where you'd expect the dick to be.
