YT comments are like this too. If I hear one more person say, "cycle of abuse" I'm going to scream. That's not how the cycle of abuse works.
This hysteria-abuse-attack with AA is an attack on the real victims of abuse who are being healed by this romance. The attack is ruthless and ignorant. “You can like it, just accept, admit that it's abuse"...
Admit that Spawn Astarion's healing is deadly. Abusive and controlling relationships clearly already transitioning to reality and to real morality only begins to attach to Astarion after the Ascension. Because if it worked initially, Astarion can't be touched, he's dangerous.
Honestly, narcissist, manipulative, with huge trauma from slavery, power-hungry, thinks power is fun, bloodthirsty, cynical.
Ppl-cycleAAabuse.. out of their refined gingerbread house, with fudge instead of shingles, where they heal and “make better” Astarion, see a gothic gingerbread house and they start screaming about abusive behavior, yelling for someone to admit something.
No, I'm not creating victim characters. My Tav and Astarion can't live without each other. The game judging by Tav's answers allows to do that, even after that douchey scare face by kiss.
I'm playing with a problematic manipulator like you do, which Astarion was, and will remain for a very long time.
I know spawn of fans who are sympathetic and don't try to force anyone to acknowledge anything by putting ashes on their head. Because they know Astarion is dangerous, and no one should care if he's an arrogant Lord or a morally questionable assassin.
