The story isn't really about Tav and Astarion as equal participants in the romance
My Tav is not equal to Astarion. So what? He loves him still. He is a naive boy. It's a roleplay game. The Romance was always meant and written to be enjoyed and played in a roleplaying style. Until Patch 6.
Everyone has the right to believe, what they want. It’s beyond my imagination how someone can remove the old kiss scene, which everyone loved, and replace it with 3 sexual violence Tav and still think, it wouldn't harm the players.
A story already exists. The game was released. Astarion is not a good character, he never was. Most people don't criticize it. People love that. But the fact that their character is portrayed in a patch's "kisses", which Tav are asking for, as an out of context unhappy, abused sex doll without will, when at the same time Tav is happy and adoring Astarion in the next scene. That is awful bad writing and insulting not only women’s intelligence, but also their heart.
