Categorically opposed. It completely contradicts the story of Ascended Astarion, it doesn't fit the conversion scene or the plot. I am against the game being allowed to ab*se a person who survived slavery, sexual ab*se, and all the things Astarion went through in his life in such a way. Right now the D/s romance in the game has a consensual dynamic, and it should stay that way. It's quite enough that there's the “I want your body” line. Adding content like this while ignoring the requests of players who love this character, and yet have no way to even tell him, “I love you”, no adequate lines in the post-Ascension scene, no kiss in the epilogue - I hope the esteemed developers won't be so cruel to their own fans.
If you don't like Astarion's dominance, there is Gale and Wyll in the game. If you like bringing companions to their knees, there are mods made for that, you can find that if you google it. Let Larian rather not add anything to romance at all and do other things just to avoid adding this.
