Enthusiastic Consent - TW: R*pe by Maus

And for my first act of the evening, I will talk about Enthusiastic Consent.
On the topic of people doing bad things:

And changing our doctrine from "consent is sexy" to "CONSENT IS FUCKING NECESSARY"

Renard is a reclusive local to the Toronto rave scene, occasionally showing their face to spin for parties, I've loved their music for years, Kai'enne, my ex, actually sung for a couple of their trax in the early days... I used to live in Hamilton, where they are from.

Let's just say it hits just a bit close to home. Dang.

Plz check yo self before you wreck yo self. Most of the rapists I know wouldn't explicity consider themselves rapists- they are far too deep in their own shit to be able to notice that what they are doing is wrong.

PLEASE GET CONSENT. ENTHUSIASTIC, CLEAR HEADED, SOBER, CONSENT. YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE TO BEG FOR CONSENT OR CONVINCE THEM. YOU SHOULD SAY "DO YOU WANT TO FUCK" AND THEY SHOULD SAY "FUCK YES I DO".

Ah...
Sorry.
Back to our regularly scheduled programming.

    Being from the Furry fandom and moving into the BDSM/Kink community, I began to notice that I grew up with a fandom that did not teach consent. Furries think it's okay to glomp, touch, pet, scritch, poke and hug each other as they please! Where as the BDSM/kink community is -HUGE- on consent (not just sex, this means any sort of touching, too!) and they aim to teach everyone about this concept. This came as a shocking revelation to me one night at a local kink event, when I realized I had accidentally touched a girl without her consent. (which even as a girl, this is not okay) I was extremely apologetic for not realizing what I had done. Luckily she was cool about it, but being that this was the 2nd incident I had recently, it opened my eyes to our Furry fandom's total lack of consent. I feel we should do something as a community to change this, even if this means including a panel on the topic at conventions.
