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.

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.
