It's very hard not to repeat myself as our moderators asked, when your opponents are constantly doing exactly that. Like, this thread was made for people who are unhappy with Patch 7 changes. Of course, no one is gatekeeping other opinions, but right now you are not suggesting any compromise, while the other side tries to find a solution which would make everyone happy. You are not making any suggestions how to resolve this issue. You are not providing any constructive variants. Instead, you only repeat the same to every kind of suggestion: how you are againt ANY kind of compromise. What it looks like you are basically saying is: "I'm against other fans to have an option to RP as they see fit for their Tav. Only my RP and my Tav's reaction should exist in this game". You repeat this over and over and over again about the game which is all about personal choice and RP.
AA is already the only divisive and polarizing romance in this game. Like it or not, this is objective truth - we just don't have similar threads about any other companion's romance. Other companion's fans don't have such extremely different opinions and RPs. Also, other companions don't have different existing animations for the same kisses. And even if Larian leave this scene with only Patch 7 happy expressions, it won't make AA romance suddenly not abusive for many people. It will only leave those people without an opportunity to RP their own Tav (not Astarion, only their own Tav!) as they want and this will even leave some people triggered. Like it does to me currently.
Of course, we don't need to find a compromise, like the moderators said, but I thought it would have made this issue far easier for Larian to decide and solve if all the fans agreed among each other for some kind of compromise. Instead, one side is just completely against it, basically telling other people that they don't have any right to their RP. That they suddenly should not have any right to decide how THEIR Tav should react. Patch 6 took your agency away from you, you were allowed to complain and ask Larian to bring your agency as a player back to you. But apparently, I should not be allowed to have my agency in MY game, just because my RP and my Tav is different from yours.

that this suggestion was introduced by @Rote90 as “a perfect solution”
I specifically said "IMO" - "in my opinion". It was a perfect solution for me. You were welcome to suggest alternative solutions, but instead of it you just repeated your old point how you are against me having my RP back in an RPG game.
