Current literature suggests that we have, at best, a muddled understanding of consent. Recent studies have suggested that the current discussion of consent found online relies on the power of capitalism and the state to re-define the term, leaving already marginalized groups vulnerable to persecution and prosecution. To better understand the conversation around consent, I analyze language employed in the comments on Reddit and NYT posts about six male celebrities accused of sexual assault. To capture any change in this language over time, I selected cases from both before and after #MeToo, specifically those involving Bill Clinton, Clarence Thomas, Harvey Weinstein, R. Kelly, Aziz Ansari, and Louis C.K. I found some shifts in the discourse around consent – mainly a move from earlier legalistic interpretations of the word to a broader, more complex understanding of consent, post-#MeToo. However, I did not identify a consensus definition, instead finding that individuals operated largely based on their own definitions. I present here some distinct ways in which commenters spoke about consent. Ultimately, we still lack a clear, agreed upon definition of the term, making it difficult at times for constructive conversation.
