I mean if you follow under threat you haven't consented to any meaningful degree.

Pretty hard to put threat of force behind an unspoken rule.

I mean just ask people who have been socially rejected/ isolated for breaking those rules. There's definitely a threat

There is a wiiiiide stretch of sky between "do this or I'll hurt you" and "I don't want to be around someone who acts unsocialized".

They didn't say anything about force.
