What exactly is an abusive behaviour in your opinion? Or what exactly do you see as "abuse" in this scene?

It feels a little uncomfortable that this is the assumption repeatedly being made here about everyone who didn't see the romance path as BDSM.

That's not true. People have already asked several times for an option to get a romantic or "classic" kiss, for example based on "gentle" in the romance scene, Marielle as well. And of course not everyone, who dislike D/s dynamic wants a "circle of abuse", a lot of people like the classic romantic story, you are right. Dead dove is a tag that warns potential readers or viewers that the fictional work contains problematic themes (like the topic of abuse). Though a few players here have stated that they like to roleplay a "circle of abuse" story.

So if Tav smiles during Haarlep's scene, would that mean what Haarlep does is not wrong anymore?

Marielle stated, that they have not played this scene.
