Yes. I think all companion romances should share the same element of consensual:) and I do not think that a women/queer audience should be singled out for a lecture on relationships and morality. The IRL implications of that type of writing is highly problematic imo. Women/queer people are already shamed for being sexual, and infantilized to the point of "needing to be taught" enough.
I find it much more refreshing with all other patches previous to patch 6, and the patch after!
