And when sideline characters show they are interested in more than what the main characters are, they are labeled perverts.
Most definitely. One of the scenes that really struck me - I think it was in NiC - was one in a BDSM club where Nathaniel and a bunch of - wereswans? Or something? - are being essentially tortured. Anita has to actually pull knives out of Nathaniel's chest, and while you might pull that off with werecreatures and a sufficient leadup, the only ones enjoying the scene are the dominants, and the entire purpose of BDSM is totally lost because submissives are portrayed as victims rather than participants.
Meanwhile this is all taking place in a BDSM club. Liek wut?
