The Laurent/Stibbons recurring characters arent to my taste, as I don't find their brand of comedy very amusing. I really disliked Laurent in Wrothgar for her terrible archaeology practices and snobbery and would have happily left her high up on that mountain.
So was stewardess.
So was ***.
So was mistress.
All sexist as well and rightfully changed/eliminated.
There are several books in the 'Lusty Argonian Maid' series in the game, nobody cares.I do think if the genders were reversed (male Laurant and female Stibbons) there would be
regular threads about it being demeaning to women. Make of that what you will.

There are several 'paid companion' and 'exotic entertainer' NPCs in this game (visit dunmer zones for instance), nobody cares.
There is literal reference to extreme violence in the vampire creation scenario, nobody cares.
There are several mistreated female characters, such as the Breton slave woman in Shadowfen, nobody cares.
This thread is absolute nonsense.

Laurent doesn't treat stibbons the way that she does because he is a man, but rather because he is her underling. She seems to treat everyone that she doesn't perceive as being powerful or rich the same way.
My biggest qualm against these characters is that we see them over and over again, in the exact same story beats and as a result these two are unidimensional cardboard cutouts. they are just caricature. If you have ever seen any victorian period piece the basis of the upstairs/downstairs is essentially this.
