🧠 Consent Basics

• Freely given – Not coerced, pressured, or guilt-tripped.
• Reversible – You can say yes, then change your mind at any time.
• Informed – Everyone knows exactly what’s going on.
• Enthusiastic – If it’s not a hell yes, it’s a no.
• Specific – Saying yes to one thing doesn’t mean yes to everything.

(That spells FRIES if you need to remember it.)

• “They didn’t say no.”
• “They were into it earlier.”
• “They didn’t fight me.”
• “They were drunk/high.”
• “They didn’t respond.”

• Loud music + substances + vibes ≠ implied consent.
• Don’t touch people without asking—not even to dance, grab hands, or hug.
• Don’t assume someone’s outfit, flirting, or dancing means anything more than what it is.
• People who are rolling, drunk, tripping, or otherwise altered can’t legally or ethically give consent.

• “Are you good with this?”
• “Want me to keep going?”
• “Let me know if you want to stop.”

Keep it clear, casual, and ongoing. Consent isn’t one question—it’s a whole-ass conversation.

Don’t misgender people. Don’t make assumptions. Don’t use someone's gender or sexuality as an excuse to be invasive or weird. Transphobia, homophobia, and racism = not welcome here.

• If it’s happening now, intervene safely or get help.
• Support the person—not the abuser, not the rumors.
• Believe survivors. Listen first. Don’t center yourself.
• Consent violations aren’t just private drama—they’re community safety issues.
