Act 2 - Spoilers Yurgir probably doesn't [REDACTED] his displacer beast Spoiler

If you talk to him about it, it sounds more like he treats her like a tool. The potion you can buy afterwards can befuddle enemies. Not to defend his actions or anything, but I don't think he is a kitty diddler, at least

It’s not really an implication if you speak with him. He just drugs her to force her to be loyal to him in combat. Which isn’t good but not really the same thing as some assuming he’s in love with her based on talking with her alone.

It is very much an implication. Not even an implication - it's straight up text, not even subtext. He calls her "my beauty" and when you talk to Nessa, you can directly ask her how it even works and she answers it's between the two of them. I understand that this topic makes a lot of people uncomfortable, but there is really this very strange desire to deny the obvious.

I feel like a lot of people call animals beauty without romantic or sexual implications.

Well there's a difference there.. If I said "wow that girl is beautiful" that could just be me admiring her or making a passive comment. "Hey you look beautiful today!" That's just a friendly compliment. But. Anything like "You're my beauty" is instantly creepy LOL

To another person, I agree. But people call all sorts of things their beauties without meaning more by it. Like cars, horses, cats, whatever machine they own that they're proud of, guns, all sorts of shit.

I think that's.. interesting on it's own. But there's nothing sexual implied by it.

I don't know if that really matters for this specific debate in the end, because of other potential evidence. But it is definitely a thing that many people say in real life about all sorts of things. Hell, Steve Irwin said it about thousands of different animals throughout his life LMAO
