FAQ

How is power imbalance different from simply 'conflict' between characters?

Conflict is any opposing goals or emotions; power imbalance specifically refers to unequal ability to give or withhold consent or influence outcomes. An argument between equals is conflict; a boss pressuring an employee into a romance involves a power imbalance with consent implications.

Can stories include power imbalances responsibly?

Yes—if the narrative treats the imbalance honestly: shows informed consent where possible, avoids romanticizing coercion, acknowledges consequences, ensures all characters are adults, and gives players meaningful choices and escape routes rather than forcing romanticization of exploitation.

What practical steps can an app take to handle power-imbalance content?

Use clear content warnings and age checks, give players the option to skip or modify routes, flag potentially exploitative tropes for review, include scenes that model consent and boundaries, and provide resources or in-app guidance about consent and support when appropriate.
