You know what's absolutely tiring? There has been nothing viral about Baldur's Gate 3 related to any advancements in actual gameplay.
If those clips exist, they certainly haven't circulated around video-oriented sharing sites. While I don't frequent/use Facebook/Twitter, the posts that are shared from there or discussed in videos related to the game, have nothing to do with the gameplay.
It's the complete opposite of content that goes viral for games like Wukong: Black Myth, or SiFu, or BeamNG Drive. There are no viral discussions/clips of cool combat sequences; no awesome magic attacks; no unique combat tactics; nor any evolved strategies, effects, or casting mechanics that evolve the genre or the franchise.
Every single clip, all of the discussions, and all of the viral content centers around Left-wing fetishes.
It's really quite telling.
It's a d&d game. You get interesting things, but AFAIK it's nothing new. Like you can put grease down and set it on fire. Or water and shock people. Etc.
I'm pretty sure that's been done before in other games, and I'd bet in the divinity games it was.
I mean there was nothing viral about pillars of eternity 1 or 2, yet those were incredible games.
That said, the fact that stuff does go viral in BG3, and its only sexual stuff makes it a little weird, though the lack of other 'viral' things is not unexpected for the genre.
I don't think rolling a 20 when the selected option was "kick the squirrel" and it exploding into a shower of gore against a tree was necessarily sexual, but it was certainly jejune.
