What is 权力失衡?
权力失衡描述一种情形：一方在权威、影响力、资源或脆弱性方面超过另一方，从而影响同意与选择能否自由表达。在浪漫故事中，它常出现在年龄差距、职场关系或照护者-被照护者的动态中。
当地位、年龄、财富、社会地位、身体能力或情感依赖上的差异使得一方更难发声、拒绝或在平等条件下谈判时，就会出现权力失衡。在虚构作品中，这些差距可以制造紧张和戏剧性——但它们也提出了重要的同意与安全问题。负责任的叙事会清晰呈现失衡，避免美化强迫或操控，并展示当角色并非处于同等权力时，同意、边界与后果如何展开。
Usage example

Practical application
认识到权力失衡有助于作者和应用设计者保护读者，创造伦理、可信的叙事。对于 Endless Romance，这意味着：使用内容警告，允许玩家选择退出某些情节路线，清晰地呈现同意与问责，避免性诱骗或培养性关系的行为，以及提供让角色主张自主权或离开不平等情境的选项。这样既保持情感现实性，又优先考虑用户安全与信任。
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?
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.
