Class description:

In the kink community, we talk a lot about what consent is, and how to reach good consent in play and with partners. Yet consent injuries happen all the time. What happens after things go wrong, and a consent incident impacts a friend, a stranger, or a community? What are your best responses as a third party?

This class will briefly touch on what consent is and how to secure it, then go beyond and examine how to best react when a consent incident touches us, as a stranger, a friend, or an event host. Sir Panda covers the language used when consent is broken and how best to help those who have been harmed. Discussion includes providing informed assistance vs. making things worse, how to gather facts rather than rushing to judgement, and consequences for those causing harm such as apologies, punishments, and restorative justice.
