Astarion's story in BG3 is like my time spent in a cult (ICOC)- essay on why I love his character

Video essay explaining why Astarion's story in Baldur's Gate 3 meant so much to me personally. After recently leaving a religious cult after 20 years, his story played out like a very strong metaphor of the experience I had. Helping him move through his challenges helped me move through mine. In this video, I share with you 8 reasons how I think Astarion's story mirrors my experience of being inside a cult. Between my narration, is clips from the game showing examples and parallels between the two.
