4. Have more egalitarian dynamics I know this is a BDSM game but not every encounter and relationship needs to be dom/sub also having that be the resolution to some characters mental health issues is offensive at best but more importantly is a dangerous precedent to even mention.

This would be one of my major points of feedback as well.  I certainly enjoy the game, but have found myself frustrated by the lack of egalitarian choices, as well as how certain choices that might *seem* innocent immediately put the player into a hardcore dom/sub dynamic.  

The most obvious/grating (to me) example is Tavi.  I've read the "director's commentary" on the Tavi-intro scene, and yes, Tavi has issues in a lot of ways, but the reason I dislike her interaction *isn't* that you have to be her sub--it's the way that choice is presented.  

She first asks to be friends.  Great!  Then she talks about "loyalty"--which is a little weird, but hey, maybe she's been burned in the past.  But once you agree to be a loyal friend, suddenly she's under the impression that you're automatically her subby bitch, demands that you serve her and call her mistress, and gets violent if you don't.  What?!  

After that, there's no option to go back and talk about things like adults.  There's no possibility of mutual respect.  The only way to get more Tavi content is to "Apologize" (for what?!) and accede to her whims.  That's what grates on me--it's less about being her sub _per se_ and more about the facts that (1) this comes out of nowhere, (2) there's no chance to talk about the relationship in a reasonable manner, and (3) the game itself--by having the only reconciliatory option be "Apologize"--seems to indicate that it's the player, rather than Tavi, who has unreasonable views of what "friendship" and "loyalty" mean.  

Similarly, you can interact with Rahi and/or Jacky as a supportive friend would, and suddenly end up with them as your slave, and you as their master wondering what just happened.  

I will say I like the Alex storyline, precisely because it's *not* this.  You (eventually) get to have plenty of BDSM, but it's clear (sometimes even *overly* clear) that it's consensual and respectful.
