@vincegetorix: Eros is the emotion one experiences upon observing beauty. It is frequently translated as 'love' but would be better translated as 'desire', 'lust', or 'ardor'. Aphrodite was not the goddess of 'love' in any sense that in English we'd tend to think of as love (even arguably romantic love), but the goddess of beauty, desire, and passion. To the Greeks, when one observed beauty, one was filled with passion - eros - to posses the thing. It is not actually a pretty word, because the Greeks rather admired the ability to take and posses something regardless of the obstacles put in the way of doing so. That is to say, they had an actual rape culture, and celebrated rapists as the very ideal of a man.
I suspect that had the domain been named Beauty, it wouldn't have inspired as great of a backlash, or at least not a backlash that made anyone feel that they were at risk of negative press in the marketplace. If it had been named Eros it would have been rather more on point, but likely to have been controversial.
But it might be nice to have inspired a bit of introspection about the alignment of Eros, and perhaps not slap every deity of Eros with a CG label unthinkingly. It ain't "love" folks, and since it isn't love, it tends to have some rather not nice consequences.
The Unity domain is neither a replacement for the original Love domain nor does it occupy the same philosophical space. It seems more likely that there was a stack of potential domains under development, and at the last moment they switched out one that they felt was less controversial for the Love domain, and sent the Love domain back for further refinement. I'll be interested to see if they tackle the subject again, because Eros - much more so than Love - tends be a conceptual space occupied by lot of personified figures in polytheism.
