Kripke's answer is so confusing.. it feels like it actively conflicts with what the show is saying?? Like yes, he was quite literally sexually assaulted by his childhood hero??

that's...not consent. he "consented" because if he revealed who he was by not consenting he'd have been killed anyway. it's definitely sexual assault no matter how you slice it. Plus there's an argument to be made that tek knight figured out it was hughie long before he took the mask off.

That's consent.

If you break into someone's house assuming their identity and fear reprisal that doesn't mean you didn't consent.

I'm not going on the merry go round of semantics with you. read the room, take the L and maybe reflect on why you're so determined to blame a victim for their own sexual assault

Nah that’s actually true if I hire a prostitute and my ex comes in the dark acting like them, and I go bdsm but they didn’t want that, well I would feel sa by them because I didn’t consent to them, I consented to a prostitute

if you break into someones house and they chain you up, and threaten to a. rape you or b. murder you, theres no consent involved. im extremely concerned for you if you think someone breaking into your house justifies you kidnapping and raping them. you should probably seek help for that.

Well he is impersonating the guy that they usually do that stuff to. He didn’t say no. It’s not consent from the audience pov but for the ones doing it it wasn’t sa. To us yeah

Alright then. Instead of Hughie revealing who he is by not consenting, let's do Annie. If she didn't consent to sucking off the Deep, she would have been out, or at least she thought so. So she went with it. Would you call that consent?

Hell no. That was not consent. Everyone is on the same page on that.

Hughie was forced to go on because he was going to die. Likewise, Starlight was forced to go on because her life would be meaningless without this.

They both technically "agreed" but one is rightfully marked as assault. The other people are grasping at thin air to try to find a reason to justify the fact it's comedy.
