::::: I will say this...the reason I made the edit in the first place is because it caused a sizeable scuffle in the fandom due to the information being presented as 100% fact instead of the heavy interpretation that it is. If you would like to believe in that piece of headcanon, more power to you. But it's not objective. If you want to refer to the Open Your Scars journal entry...then the most objective method would be to quote it directly without the biased interpretation. Literally just say "The journal entry for Open Your Scars refers to the Dark Urge being 'good at playing with tentacles' in regards to the Elder Brain. However, the entries for that quest are not necessarily serious, and are open for interpretation." Then, people can decide if that means they actually had sex or not, instead of forcing that point of view on the reader. What is "obvious" and "definite" to you, in your interpretation, is not the case for others. I'm bowing out of this discussion now, but I will end with this - if you want BG3.wiki to be taken seriously as an accurate and unbiased source of information, allowing highly interpretive statements like this is not a great way to do that.

:::::: The part is currently phrased in a way that clarifies it's likely just playful wording. We'll let a day or so pass, and if no one else has chimed in, we can remove it. If it's important to people, someone will likely re-add it, at which point a longer discussion may be needed. I am confused as to why you are saying I am forcing a viewpoint down people's throats, since my interpretation is in agreement with yours. This is a wiki. Any single person does not decide what goes on here and doesn't. To prevent any edit conflicts and the potential protection of articles, it's best to have a discussion before removing long term elements from a page. I hope you can understand that.
