Sometimes, the issue is not that you as a writer aren't aware, but that you're choosing to write creepy things. I like some things that would probably fall under "rape is love." I don't like them because I think they're realistic, I like them because I'm a perv. I know very well that what they depict is Bad Idea Jeans, but that doesn't make me any less wet.
And sometimes no matter how many times you explain yourself or how many warnings you put on something, people like their personal explanations of why you wrote what you did or what it Really Means Given Rape Culture or what the fuck ever more than anything you have to say about it.
Sometimes, though, a person is straight up clueless. Maybe they don't know what's really unhealthy because they have no experience with it. Maybe they aren't good enough with words or with plot or with nuance to realize that while their intent was obviously something cute, it came off creepy, or that while their intent was creepyhotnoir it came off as cutesy when it should have been titillatingly disturbing.
And that's harder, especially if the person's sensitive. You may not want to continue to beta for this person. Excuses abound in the world; make use of some, if you want. Or just pull a slow fade.
Or you could be more gentle than you want: "Amy, I really think Steve's innocent attitude is adorable in this scene. But do you mean for Adam to come off so pushy here? If you're going for dark attraction, you might try keeping Adam creepy, but give us a few more hints that Steve's resistance is posturing. If you're going for realistic noncon, though, I think Steve needs to be more upset for longer."
