This video was created by the Thames Valley Police November 2015. They’ve been implementing a #ConsentIsEverything campaign, which is all sorts of awesome. Why it hasn’t gone more viral is a damn shame because it is so good – mainly for its simplicity. If you haven’t seen it before, give it a watch below. It’s quite worth 2 and a half minutes of your life.

Maybe I’ll add that video to my OKC profile. I bet it’d be a lovely filtration device 🙂 And thanks for the reblog!

I was just thinking the same thing!!! But the majority of dudes don’t even read what little I have written – they just want to make sure I’m not a foreign bot bent on taking their money or harassing them after they take the bait for offers of sex.
