I think they were just making a joke.
Is it a joke though? Whole swaths of the internet legitimately have no ability to separate fiction from reality... really seems like this guy (and at least one other reply to him) is upset at Neil Newborn for things Astarion did.
If it's a joke, Poe's Law is in full effect, because I've met so many people who are actually like this.
They're making a reference to something that happens in the game...why the downvotes? If anyone is actually upset at the voice actor for his character's actions, then those people are very stupid.
I didn't downvote anyone, why ask me? But if you haven't noticed that VAs have been having a hard time lately with being harassed for asinine things, let this be a wakeup call. It happens, and it happens a lot. Brushing them off as a mentally ill super tiny minority is not the reality of things unfortunately.
I'm not saying OP is one of them, but I do think it's potentially dangerous to just assume someone is definitely kidding when so many who say the same things aren't.
And that's the problem: he's making reference to something that happens in game... as a reason not to go to an actor's stream. As if it's the actor's fault that scene happened.
