>That's the kind of thing I don't think I should even be allowed to consent to

Why not?

Because I think it's a net negative for society.

It is clear that you think that. Almost never do people say that they think something should be illegal while simultaneously believing that thing is a net good.

I’m asking why you think that it’s a net negative that you’re able to consent to that.
