Interesting. For me, while I don’t love the idea of being forced into something I don’t want, psychologically I understand that my choice is being taken away. In the case of deception or fraud, I would feel complicit and stupid, and that would stick with me and burn a long time.
I’m thinking about how people who are raped by force often feel ashamed, but also that people who are defrauded out of their money are also often too ashamed to come forward.
Of course neither should be the case, but I don’t think there’s that much difference between the two, at least for me.
The gap between consent and informed consent is narrow.
The gap between consent and threat of violence may as well be the grand canyon.
