Someone please save me from Borderlands 4's horny talking shield: 'This is about my pleasure, not yours'

Borderlands 4 Cindershelly: An upper-body shot of Zane with his arms out, as if wincing in disgust.

Mathematically, Borderlands 4 has, give or take, 30 billion guns and plenty more shields, class mods, ordnance, and so on to bump that number to an even more incomprehensible level. For some godforsaken reason, there are a handful of items that talk. During use, certain legendary gear pieces are right chatterboxes, and I found this out the hard way when I unknowingly equipped the Cindershelly shield.

The Cindershelly isn't the best shield in the game, but after getting my Harlowe build into the endgame, it's the best I've got while I farm for a new Super Soldier or Firewerks. In other words, I'm stuck with it until I get a better equivalent to drop. Unfortunately, it has the annoying trait of being…ummm…horny?
