but for real, this is how this particular horror movie trope works. you enter into the game lightheartedly, but then it turns out you are unable to withdraw consent and the stakes are higher than you thought. this is also Jumanji (1995), and so many more.

the horror of Being Unable To Withdraw Consent... that's a real one.

anyway, outside of fiction, I'd say that an awareness of consent (and fine-grained consent - "I'm happy to play, but we need a rule against x, I'm not up for that today") provides a good explanation for the large overlap between people who are into tabletop and people into kink.
