@MomaBera@earnestpost At least I can’t imagine what someone pushing ahead when the first-time partner is just "not resisting explicitly" being swayed by this. Maybe it’s just a failure of my imagination tho.
@MomaBera@earnestpost Like even if the law is net-positive, especially long term, this is an unfortunate consequence of it and it would be nice if there was a way to avoid it
@MomaBera@earnestpost This is true! But I expect for a good while there won’t be significant pressure on those people to show more explicit enthusiasm, and so they probably won’t, and a bunch of well meaning people won’t want to make them uncomfortable and might suffer disproportionate consequences
