Tea Consent
The video opens with the word ‘CONSENT’ in bold, capitalized letters, with ‘IT’S SIMPLE AS TEA’ written below it. Then, a black and white animated teacup with steam rising from it appears. A stick figure appears next, holding the teacup and talking, then the teacup reappears. The stick figure then appears alone, looking thoughtful with a speech bubble saying ‘hmmm…’ The teacup with steam reappears, followed by the stick figure, who has another speech bubble saying ‘meh.’ A red circle with a line through it, indicating ‘no,’ appears over two stick figures, one forcing the other to drink from a teacup. The stick figure appears alone again, gesturing with one hand. The teacup with steam is shown with the ‘no’ symbol over it.
A stick figure then appears, drinking from a teacup, then the same stick figure appears again, looking angry with a speech bubble, and the ‘no’ symbol over the teacup. Another stick figure is then shown, gesturing with one hand, then the teacup with the ‘no’ symbol appears. A happy stick figure appears, with a speech bubble saying ‘yes, please!’ followed by the stick figure next to a table with a teacup on it, with a speech bubble saying ‘actually, no tea.’ The happy stick figure with the ‘yes, please!’ speech bubble is shown again, followed by the unhappy stick figure with the ‘actually, no tea’ speech bubble.
A teapot is shown, then a hand pouring from it into a teacup with steam. A graph with the x-axis labeled ‘time’ and the y-axis labeled ‘interest in tea’ is displayed, with a downward sloping red line, and a happy face at the beginning of the x-axis and an unhappy face at the end. A stick figure is then shown lying on the ground, seemingly unconscious. The stick figure on the ground is shown again, with a speech bubble asking ‘Do you want tea?!?’ Another stick figure is shown sitting up with a smile, then the teapot and the pouring hand are shown. The unconscious stick figure is shown again. A red circle appears over the teacup, indicating ‘no.’
The unconscious stick figure is shown with the words ‘NO TEA’ next to it. A calendar with the days of the week is shown, with the word ‘tea!’ written in various squares. A stick figure is seen holding a teacup and opening a door to another stick figure, then the stick figure at the door forces the other stick figure to drink from a teacup, with a speech bubble asking ‘remember last week?!?’ Two stick figures are shown on a bed, one forcing the other to drink from a teacup. The ‘no’ symbol appears over two stick figures, one forcing the other to drink from a teacup. The stick figure is shown alone again, gesturing with one hand. The words ‘IT’S THE SAME WITH SEX.’ appear, followed by ‘CONSENT IS EVERYTHING.’ The teacup with steam is shown again, then the credits appear on a white screen: ‘script: rockstardinosaurpirateprincess,’ ‘video: blueseatstudios.com,’ ‘narrator: graham wheeler,’ and ‘animation: rachel brian.
