I could write a long autistic speech about how humans in pokemon world are literally a defferent species from us, that ha.......

But I will save my autism for another time.

@LukeAlmighty @applejack @matrix
It's been confirmed multiple times that in the Pokémon world, humans are basically pokémon. And pokémon consistently show signs of being highly intelligent creatures. I'd say that for the psychic pokémon that's even more so applicable, so I don't see why they couldn't consent.

@alyx @LukeAlmighty @matrix It's because people think of "consent" as this magic essence that things can only possess if they say it does instead of "I agree"

@applejack @LukeAlmighty @matrix
The problem is when you make the distinction between consent and informed consent. People usually refer to the ladder in such discussions of whether something can give consent.

Sure, someone can give consent. But is the consent worth anything if they're a drooling vegetable that can't tie their own shoelaces?

@alyx @applejack @matrix
Informed consent does not even apply to adult women, so there's no need to go to vegetable extreme for this conversation.

@LukeAlmighty @applejack @matrix
I'm not sure what you mean by: "informed consent does not even apply to adult women"
