Ok yeah that’s really fucking uncool.
There are absolutely actors who are down to do that stuff but you can’t hire people with a script sight-unseen and just drop stuff on them that might straight up give some people a panic attack to even think about, let alone re-enact.
Title makes you think there actors who don’t want games in general to contain explicit adult content, but this is 100% and yet another reason voice actors and game industry workers need to unionize.
I bet your ass the same shit is happening with asset creators and animators.

I think they actually are unionized. At least in the UK. That’s what some of the Baldur’s Gate 3 actors said when asked about the anti AI strikes. They can’t participate because of the rules of theie union.
If I recall correctly there is even a sentence in the article about the British union starting to tackle thia issue.

In some countries, some people, in some parts of the industry, are unionized. It’s not even close to being the norm. It’s only slowly starting happen.
