Yeah, there's a Mind Flayer called the Emperor that you can romance and have sex with. Even though Mind Flayers don't have a reproductive system that is in-line with vertebrates, and thus don't have a sex drive, and thus wouldn't seek out any kind of sexual experience. Never mind how different their thought processes are from everyone else's; companionship and romance would be incomprehensibly alien concepts to them, especially towards beings they view as food. But it's what sexually-obsessed (and frustrated) Redditors want, so of course Larian put it in.
I managed to go through the whole game without fucking any animals. And the only gay scene I noticed was the Ogres played for laughs. And that's kind of, if not especially funny. In any case, I'm not opposed to buggery jokes. I'm sure there's more in the stories, if you read all the notes, but I don't.
So... I think people have been going through the "romance" content on YouTube. Why? This is like going to Bing Image Search, turning off safe search, searching for this shit and being like: Mom I saw porn.
The bear/gay vampire scene was used as a hype trailer prior to the game's release and was specifically chosen to be shown to a mass audience of women in an auditorium who clapped like seals for it.
So, regardless of how you were able to miss it, it was very important to the Devs themselves and the audience they intended to court with it.
In fact, until the game was released and "suddenly and organically" it was the best game ever made, that's literally what it was known for. Because that was the information they specifically choose to represent their game in marketing.

It does bring up the man or bear question in a new light.

I don't know who I'm defending here. Not Larian. Maybe the right to just experience a game and not thirst over every trailer or EA.
Isn't the initial goal of every playthrough to abort a mindflayer embryo that was implanted into your brain?
