What is 脅迫?
脅迫是指某人使用壓力、威脅、操控或濫用權力，迫使他人違背其意志去做某事。在親密與同意的情境中，這意味著同意不是自由給予，因此無效。
脅迫包括任何超越個人自由選擇的策略——這可能是明顯的威脅、恐嚇、勒索、扣留金錢或居住條件、情感操控、拒絕後仍持續施加壓力，或利用權力不平等（老闆/員工、照護者/被照護者）。同意必須是知情、自願且可撤銷；若存在脅迫，情況就不是自願的。在故事中，脅迫可以是明顯的或微妙的，與真誠的說服、誘惑或互相想要的妥協不同。
Usage example
在一段浪漫故事的情節中，前任威脅若主角不同意會面就洩露私人訊息——這屬於脅迫，因為主角的選擇是被恐懼所驅使，而非自由的渴望。
Practical application
理解脅迫對作家、讀者和應用程式設計師很重要。對於作家而言：它有助於避免美化有害行為，促進對創傷與恢復的負責任刻畫，並在不贊同濫用的前提下創造可信的衝突。對於互動式故事應用程式：它指引安全的故事設計——清晰的內容警告、讓玩家在不受懲罰的情況下拒絕的分支選項、審核政策，以及支援資源的連結——讓使用者在情感上投入而不被重新創傷或被習以為常於濫用動態。
FAQ
How is coercion different from persuasion or flirting?
Persuasion and flirting involve mutual interest and respectful communication; coercion involves pressure or threats that remove a person’s free choice. If someone says yes because they’re afraid of consequences, that isn’t consent.
What are common signs of coercion in fiction?
Signs include threats or ultimatums, repeated pressure after a refusal, manipulation or gaslighting, exploiting dependence or power imbalances, and scenes where a character clearly acts out of fear, shame, or obligation rather than desire.
Can a story include coercion responsibly?
Yes—if handled thoughtfully. Give context (do not glamorize or reward abusive behavior), show consequences, provide survivor perspectives or recovery arcs, use content or trigger warnings, and give readers options to skip or choose different paths in interactive formats.
What should I do if a scene in an interactive story makes me uncomfortable?
Use any in-app content warnings or skip options, report the scene to moderation if it appears to normalize abuse, and seek out story paths that prioritize clear, enthusiastic consent. If you need support, consult local resources or hotlines listed in the app’s safety information.
