Allistics have this;
"this is what enthusiasm looks like *big happy face panto* yes yes nod nod enthusiasm *thumbs up* lets goo"
fixed thought shape and unfortunately it seems to have been beaten into a lot of autistic folks as well.
Yes this is a "I don't like that "enthusiastic" is a thing when it comes to consent, because what you really mean is a *particular flavour* of pantomime enthusiastic consent" rant.

@steadilyebbing@girlcock.club consent is a subtle and nuanced topic but unfortunately you can't be subtle and nuanced about it or the bad people will exploit it, so anyone who doesn't fit into the non-nuanced mold is just a regrettable but necessary sacrifice. Because the battle over consent is fought and won between two leftists on the internet and has nothing to do with societal power structures.

Someone had a go at me the other day because I said *my* enthusiastic consent is merely not saying no. But maybe this isn't a neurodivergent vs not thing, maybe it's just a cPTSD vs not thing.
