Sometimes I feel so alone, watching Curse of Strahdanya and seeing the players swoon whenever the Countess gets “flirty”. All I can feel is disgust and uncomfortable, because I just can’t fawn over a beautiful face knowing the horrific acts she has done. Even something as innocent as hand-holding makes my upper-lip curl.
I wanted to smack her hand out of Clayton’s so bad, you don’t even know.
I know that would probably make it worse, because people in power tend to react badly to not getting their way. That’s largely what bothers me the most, I think. The play of power dynamics and the silent, looming threat of violence if you reject her touches.
At least Sarnax and Shepard are on my side. (As of episode 7, who knows what happens later on)
