I also don't see you suggesting any kind of solution, so yes, I have my right to assume you are against us having any option to choose.
People suggested a solution many times: choosing between rough and gentle kisses. Like it or not, that is the option that would make the most people playing this romance happy.
>>When you say your solution would make everyone happy, that's simply not true.<<< I dont want Larian getting the wrong idea. It wouldn't make me happy and most Ascended Astarion fans who prefer a happy romance with him wouldnt be happy about it either. It was a gentle kiss for 6 or 7 months before Patch 6 came as a valentines gift. No one was upset by gentle kisses with him then. Someone else mentioned this before but its very triggering for some of us to hear about suggestions to bring the Patch 6 Tav face expressions back. Those need to stay gone for several very important reasons.
It's terribly problematic to have Astarion [who is the only male evil companion] be the only one with the negative implications that you're pushing onto him and the only one with negative expressions during kisses to make it look non- consensual. Larian aren't calling his story a story of the cycle of abuse. It's some fans who interpret it that way. This is a fantasy-story about a vampire, Not an IRL abusive partner. Let's keep it that way.
You (you as in generally spaking) are spreading misinformation by saying the facial animations of Tav were hard to change.

This is a bad faith accusation and a moderator already asked people not to talk about this in a negative way because it sounds like you're assigning blame on certain fans.

Quite a malicious accusation to make and not true. Your post appears to also be bringing in beefs from other places or threads.
