Consent is the only rule
Modern sexual morality is said to have shrunk to consent alone, with every other limit dropped. The institutions that teach it are blamed when an encounter ends in an accusation.

⚠️ A story people tell, not a claim that it's true.
A motif is the shape of a story as its tellers tell it, named the way a folklorist names a tale type, so the same story told about other people, by the other side or in another year lands in the same place. Some of the claims below are true, many are false. Arguing against a story is often a story of its own, its answer (Voter fraud is answered by Voter suppression, Lawfare by No one is above the law), and we file it there; where no answer has a motif yet, the arguments against a story sit with its tellings.

🗣️ In so many words
the words that carry it
💬 the tellers' own words: “how consent is really the only boundary” “pursuing sex in the way that the school told them it was meant to be pursued which is for pleasure and pleasure alone” “These colleges, and this is very broadly true. It's not just my college. This is what they do.” “they create an atmosphere of really degenerate and degrading sexual activity”
