With the above said, I don't think he's out of line. The word misinterpretation exists for a reason.
It's about the general argument about the characterization as a whole. In that sense Backinstyle has as correct an interpretation as anyone else at this point. The problem is that he is going out of his way to repeatedly deny the validity of any other interpretation up to and including saying existing content doesn't count as part of valid interpretation. That's not misinterpretation, that's just trying to shut down other opinions.
In my estimation if the romance goes there and the player commits to it then that's part of the romance for that playthrough, and it won't go there for every player or playthrough thus the different experiences and interpretations. He has with 100% consistency denied the validity of every reason anyone has brought up for interpreting Shadowheart as even just open to the idea of poly much less how people might interpret her after she says she's okay sharing and then continues on to say she enjoyed it.
On that note I'm not interested in debating logical vs contextual/interpretive reading with you as we both already know exactly where that brick wall is because we've already run into it before.
