You told me "actually, you know, the topic of abuse is a pretty serious one" a few pages ago.

Yes, that's exactly what I said. And that's why I think the kisses in patch 6 were a mockery of this serious topic. The circumstances under which they appeared in the game (on Valentine's Day), the way they were implemented (the kink demonstration). I was really hoping that Larian didn't mean it that way, and it wasn't a message about the “cycle of abuse”, because that kind of presentation of the topic just belittles the very topic of abuse. The fact that they've now corrected it has convinced me that they didn't mean any such thing. Just served up a collective fanon, but got the target audience wrong. People don't play the AA route for the sake of suffering, at least not by most people who actually play rather than watching on YouTube. If you believe the stats I've seen from the polls.
