Unfortunately I do think that the marauders map and invisibility cloak were used in that way. I love the marauders as much as the next person but the conversation around consent in the 70s was only talked about in the extremes (don’t r word women, very basic stuff) other things that we would now consider sexual harassment was common place and would not have been thought about twice by the average teenage boy. Not to mention that the wizarding world even in the 90s doesn’t have a good understanding of consent (love potions being completely normalized). Also just going off what we know about the characters James isn’t the best with respecting others boundaries (asking out Lily by basically blackmailing her) or with respecting other people’s privacy around nudity (taking off Snapes pants then underwear).

This isn’t to be anti James at all but I personally HC that they were less than stellar in their behavior when it came to this and would have probably done some things we would have considered creepy today.

(Also I want to point out it’s not like these conversations weren’t being had by any women, they absolutely were and you can find it in feminist media of the time, however it wasn’t a mainstream conversation like it is today with the rise of the Metoo movement)

yea no james was a despicable little fuckboy, I'm sure he did that lol
