In patch 7, thankfully, Tav's facial expressions in their romantic kisses with the Ascended Astarion are now finally more or less in line with Astarion's story, and also represent an example of beautiful, passionate and consensual D/s scenes. I sincerely congratulate all members of the BDSM community who play this game on the fact that D/s romance is now represented in such a wonderful game as Baldur's Gate 3! <3
A relationship Tav can be intimidated out of leaving, and in the end can't get out of even if they want to, would not be an accurate or respectful representation of real life BDSM dynamics either way, no matter how happy Tav looks in the kisses. Equating it to that is much more disrespectful and harmful to the community than what was depicted before and never presented as a representation of healthy BDSM.
Provoking triggers in SA/DA victims (in the real sense of the word “trigger”, not in its inflationary key).
Sorry, are you implying that people the new faces are triggering for must use the word in an inflationary way? If so, that's very insensitive. I told you this before, you don't have to understand or share someone else's triggers to respect them. You may not understand how the new expressions can be triggering, but that does not mean we're lying about it or exaggerating.
