In depth description of seggs

So, this was a group of 7, including the DM. This is mostly about the DM and 1 of the other Players, her code name will be Nancy

So DM and Nancy are married and this is everyone else's first ever DnD game. So Nancy is playing a roughly 17yo character, and there is this NPC who is AT LEAST in his late 30s, that we have to go to, to get information. And it's been about a year into this game and this NPC and Nancy's PC have been a little flirty this whole time, which, weird. But whatever that's how those 2 were all the time, but then we're rolling really bad rolls to try to get this information out of this guy, so (and I don't remember who suggested it, it's been a good few years, but neither of them were uncomfortable with it) Nancy's character decides to start hard-core flirting and then the DM starts describing in-depth the seggs they have. And while at that time it's been a year since we ooc started this game so technically I guess you could say this character was now 18, it was really weird and no one else at the table hadn't consented to hearing that because they COULDN'T! BECAUSE EVERYONE ELSE AT THE TABLE (besides DM and Nancy who were both in their 40s) WAS A CHILD RANGING ABOUT 5 to 14 YEARS OLD!

The DM was my father, and Nancy was my Step-mom. The other players where my siblings and my Step-Siblings. AND!! It was required! We would get punished if we didn't participate in the DnD sessions. It's not like we would be looking at screens if we weren't doing DnD! We wanted to go play outside! We wanted to play tag! We wanted to go over to the neighbors and play!

The sessions would last 7+ hours with minimal breaks, if we weren't fully attentive we would get punished, if we needed to go to the bathroom, or were hungry, we'd be punished. The youngest was 5 years old at the beginning of the game! That's absolutely not an appropriate expectation for children!

This was my first ever DnD game, it took me YEARS to finally try to go play again because as a kid I remember liking the concept but everything else was awful- some of my siblings refuse to even talk about DnD or entertain the idea of them playing any TTRPG. And I don't blame them-

I now play semi-regularly and have seperated the game from that awful experience, but it's safe to say I have since cut contact with my father and my step-mom.

Why is Barty Crouch Jr such a slept on character?

Like genuinely, he's so cool and has such potential, Belletrix has loads of love and a full fan base, (and merch) so it's not because of the longbottoms. And with Barty Jr- it's like no one cares? There's no merch of him anywhere in stores either that I've seen- he's one of my favorite characters and I always look, but there's nothing. Also almost no one mentions him at all in hypothetical questions pertaining to all of the Harry Potter characters?? He's such an interesting character, and it feels like he gets over looked for no real reason??
