1) nope

2) “devious consent” is now my new favorite typo and I’m going to spend a little while trying to figure out what it would look like

Sure! But while we’re purifying fandom we should probably also stop romanticising a slaveowner. You guys first.

Also, this deserves to be a whole new genre of creepy fic.

There is actually a philosophical literature about what might be called “devious consent.” Basically, it would be securing consent by means of a deception without which the consent would not have been given – saying you’re someone you’re not (the old claiming to be a woman’s husband in the dark is a somewhat outdated version of this), saying you’re STD-free or on birth control when you’re not, etc. There’s disagreement about when it constitutes rape. This kind of thing could get creative when there’s magic involved. Though I think people already write this and it’s just a subset of dubious consent.
