That includes triggering survivors who may not have expected you to violate social norms and who would have told you, "hey, I don't like talking about sex in front of people because I get panic attacks."

That's true but that's also true for any number of topics. This is a general "how/when do I talk about potentially triggering topics" issue and has nothing to do with sexual consent.

My dude, you set up the strawman argument of speech in a conversation about sexual consent. They were just trying to explain how they're not the same thing.

No. I reacted to someone claiming that hearing about sex needs the hearing parties consent, the same as sex needs consent which I don't agree with.

Talking about sex needs to be done with some caution to not upset others, like many other topics. It's different from the consent needed for engaging in sexual activities with someone.
