"Consent" is a word thrown around willy-nilly these days. And yet it feels like people don't really understand it. Some assume one thing while there is a different thing. Some assume another thing, while there is the one thing. And so on and so forth. Consent forms on websites and inside of apps. Sexual Consent. What the fuck is consent? Is it even real?

A lot of people claim that they need to use proprietary software, either for work or something else. And the question is. Do they consent to it, or the existence of a need makes it some sort of a power dynamic?
