FAQ
What counts as valid consent?
Can consent be nonverbal?
Nonverbal consent can be possible when signals are clear and unmistakable, but relying only on nonverbal cues can be risky. Best practice—especially in fiction that aims to model healthy behavior—is to show characters using clear verbal check-ins in addition to body language.
If two characters have consented before, does that mean future consent is automatic?
How should mutual consent be handled in interactive stories or dating sims?
Include explicit choice points where players can give or withhold consent, show the characters communicating boundaries, offer content warnings and opt-outs for intimate scenes, and build consequences or branching that respect a player’s choices. Presenting consent as a normal part of relationship-building makes scenes feel safer and more authentic.
