it doesn't, which makes the claim here rather disappointing seeing how accurate the author has been with the rest of the story regarding bdsm. like describing d/s as needing relationship status to stop or discourage bad orders/doms is just ??? hope no one actually believes or internalizes that.
How does putting a different „label” stop anyone from abuse? If someone tries to abuse their power over their partner then what does a „romantic” relationship change? Like domestic abuse ain’t a big thing. If someone is willing to do it to their partner, what stops them from doing it to their lover? Am I the only one who finds this concept a bit dumb?
Also, MC is valid with not taking this as a romantic relationship when ML was so against having romantic relationships. How is that his fault for misunderstanding? The lack of communication is entirely on him, he knows MC is a newbie.
