I realise that some players really want to play the victim, but not everyone. It's not about Astarion, it's about you and your play style. This is a roleplaying game and you choose how to react to a particular event.
I can’t choose how to react to the event because Larian is deciding that for me by forcing my Tav to enjoy being pushed around and made to do embarrassing things.
They changed this in the seventh patch because they got a lot of complaints. A lot of players didn't like it because 6 months later their game was changed. If they did that, then there were more complaints than praise. So most people prefer not to play a victim in this route.
Right, which is why we’re complaining now because those of us who were mostly fine or neutral with the old kisses are now upset because the needle has been swung a full 180 degrees into the “I want to be a vampire like you!” character that ignores red flags.
If this is how they want to do things, then there should be a choice where we can express how we feel about the relationship, otherwise the facial expressions need to be made a lot more toned down.
