That's what I'm trying to convey, that AA didn't turn pleasure into punishment during intimate scenes, that's not his approach at all, and never has been. He also listened to Tav's desires. Why is this being ignored and devalued? It's unthinkable. If Tav wanted to leave him - it was much more typical for AA before patch 6 to cajole rather than intimidate. Even the epilogue speaks only of “wealth, power, pleasures.” If we talk about methods of encouragement and punishment, AA clearly used only the encouragement method. And all this in no way interferes with playing the role of a victim who has fallen into a trap. What's stopping you from playing the role of Tav being manipulated? People say these kisses confirm the cycle of violence, turns out it didn't exist before patch 6?
