these are the same dudes who only romance shadowheart because they want a big tiddy goth gf and the other options are gay or non-white.

"Romancing" virtual characters is weird and probably unhealthy from a mental health perspective (unless it's The Emperor, he doesn't count)
Somebody didn’t like you saying that lmao.
And you’re right, but I imagine a lot of the dudes who would go to the effort to install a mod like this probably don’t have the personality to romance a real person.
It's the same as doing anything else in a video game, imo.
Why do they appear to have made his pants tighter in the process?
It just looks like badly cut jeans. Not having enough material for a butt crack, they cram your buttocks together into one squished amorphous lump.
Oh but on the legs? They appear to have removed a layer of clothing so they still have something to admire.
To be fair. Right picture Looks much more natural on the ass. The one on the left looks natural on the trouser legs.
He'd insist on the before one though.
It's not a problem as long as modding is possible, everyone can make it look the way they want. But I would prefer a natural look for vanilla.

Where is this mod for Street Fighter so I can play 1v1 with my grandma without her passing out at the character select screen?
I have complicated feelings on this. (Note: I've yet to play BG3, I will eventually)
I'm bisexual, so I'd never ever install this mod. But I feel as though that I can't say someone is explicitly wrong for doing so. Maybe they're not the kind of person I'd want to interact with, and maybe I might not be able to help but judge them a little, but its their prerogative.
Like, should a person be expected to expose themselves to something they see as sexual if it makes them uncomfortable? Even if that discomfort stems from homophobia or fear of discovering that they are bi/gay? Like, this arguably is an issue of whatever the player consents to seeing.
It being included in the anti-woke modlist is funny though.
IMO you’ve consented to seeing sexual content when you continue purchasing and/or playing the game after seeing the content warning and age rating that includes “Nudity” and “Strong Sexual Content”.
That's a good point, but IDK if that'd mean they consent to all sexual content in the sense that they might have some ignorant expectations of what they'll find in the game with that rating.
This is obviously extremely tame compared to some of the stuff they probably just stumble over on the internet. Though obviously, they don't consent to it if they decide to specifically install this mod.
Does this make everyone's ass flatter or just Asterion's? I'm genuinely curious. Because I know he isn't the only one that's caked up.
Even then, if it's just Asterion and not other male characters, I don't know what to make of it. I don't think making an ass flatter is homophobic (although it certainly isn't ally behavior). But it might reveal some internalized homophobia. Maybe. Again, I'm not really sure.
If it were all male characters and none of the female characters I'd be more concerned about sexism than homophobia. But that's just me.
I assume just Asterion's given that's what the tweet suggests.

That's an interesting take, could you elaborate?
Obviously, given that the mod seems to be just Asterion, it's not a real concern. But if they were leaving women as they are (scantily clad, revealing outfits, etc) and de-sexualizing I'd be more concerned about why they feel it's okay to objectify women and not men.
But it seems like it's a moot point, anyway.
That's what I suspected you meant. I agree that it is (partially) irrelevant to the topic of this post, but still I think its interesting enough that I want to engage with it if you don't mind.
Sexualization is not intrinsically objectification. It can be but you'd have to make an assumption about their motivations for installing such a mod that I think is unrealistic in that case.
Further, keeping character's you find attractive sexy and de-sexing characters who you (think you) find unnattractive on your own local private play through seems like something a person would do for the sake of enhancing a private fantasy. It'd be that they are treating the game as at least partly an erotic experience would be my assumption that would be damaged for them if the sexualization of certain character hurts that experience for them.
Of course I should reiterate that I've not played the game. So I might be missing some context. I have played Skyrim loaded with, ah-hem... certain mods. And I know why I installed those, and it wasn't because I wanted to embrace objectification.
I mean, if we're taking the example of flattening an ass on men and leaving round, partially exposed asses on women, I think we're going beyond objectifying people. The game let's you run around naked with genitals on display. If someone wants to have that kind of play experience, they can do it without mods. So if they feel the need to desexualize men and leave women in sexual roles, it tells me something about how they see women.
I'm not asking you to come to the same conclusion. You're free to feel however you want.

They can’t do that to Faerun’s Ass!
Comaland. Where the unwoke are blissfully ignorant and socks are all stiff.
It's woke because it's making the "straight" guys confused
