But, readers or viewers don't possess that same flexibility and we all have our boundaries and baggage of perception. It's not that we don't understand the difference between real and fiction but we have our unique way to process things and based on that we can like and dislike what is being shown.
The show has every right to show humiliation, abuse, sadism in the garb of romance but then meaning of what is being shown cannot change because it's part of so called romance. They all will be interpreted based on what we know in real life. The boundaries of fiction are stretchable for the writers but not for the viewer.
