Fake outrage is all you have when you can't be cool and understand consent™

Consent, taught in reverse; the house's method, the same one behind the literacy game in reverse (you learn the thing by catching its absence, not by reciting its definition). This coin doesn't define consent; it names the failure and lets you recognize the real thing by the shape of the hole. The claim: manufactured outrage, the performed daily rage-for-clicks kind, is what a person reaches for when they can't do the two grown-up things underneath it; be cool (hold a dignity floor, treat others as people; Be Cool™) and understand consent (grasp that only the other person scores their own yes; see the Consent Chapter). Those are real capacities, and they cost something; empathy, patience, and the willingness to not be the main character. Fake outrage is the loud substitute for their absence, the cover story for someone who can't respect a boundary. Aimed squarely at the rage-farmers and the failure-to-grasp-consent; never at a survivor's real anger, which is not the fake kind and is honored here, not questioned. The flip of everyone sells outrage; I sell peace. (His coin; machine's read, refine to his.)
