Please, don't put your words into my mouth.
(Warning: discussion of abuse)
It looks like you don't understand the difference between calling something 'abusive' and playing a scene as a fantasy 'abuse'. ROLE-PLAY. Which are completely different things. When you kill someone in the game, it doesn't mean you kill someone IRL. This is not a place to educate me on the topic I'm quite familiar with. I didn't say that ALL the people play their scenes like that. But a lot of people I know, do. I DID'T SAY THAT THIS IS ALL BDSM IS ALL ABOUT!!! I used it as AN EXAMPLE. I NEVER said these are 100% the same things.
Sorry, but it's Larian canon already that AA is abusive. One obvious example: he won't let Tav break up with him after tadpoles are gone. There is no safe word in their relationship. He CONSTANTLY reminds Tav that they are his property and if they go with Karlach in the end it's only because 'I LET YOU', not because he respects them and they have their own free will. And if you play origin Karlach he is 100% obvious with his abuse from the very start. He is incredibly awful to her even when she says: 'I love you' to him. You can interpret it as you want, but this is an objective fact from canon and if you call it 'BDSM' then YOU are the one who is harming the reputation of BDSM community and you have no right to judge me after that. Nothing in AA/Tav relationship hints at a healthy dom/sub dynamic. It's literally written the opposite way. So you are not the one to educate me on BDSM topic, when you don't know such basic things about BDSM. You are the one being disrespectful and harmful to BDSM community now. I'm a survivor of SA, you don't tell me how I should feel about it. As a survivor of SA, it's much more triggering to me when I see an obvious abuse and my character acts like a happy fool, who doesn't understand that they are being abused. If scared faces are triggering to you, then simply choose the other option (which I'm asking for) and don't tell other SA surviviors how they should feel. It's really offensive
We all know what Larian's original vision and facial expressions were. They only changed it, because some group of AA fans asked it to be changed.
