Teddy Bears that scream like crazy when you hug them without asking for consent.

Why deal with another generation of entitled idiots putting their hands all over everything all the time? Let’s traumatize them into keeping their gross hands to themselves with new line of consent reinforcing toys.

I do want to emphasize one thing in particular that I think really makes the idea work though. The “rejection scream” needs to be utterly fucking horrifying. Like the way a rabbit sounds when it’s getting eaten by your neighbors pitbulls. And it needs to go on for a WHILE to really draw negative attention from bystanders so the kid REALLY knows they fucked up bad.

This would also work really well for parents who prefer to maintain a firm distance, either physically or emotionally, from their children. You could even reinforce the behavior when teachable moments present themselves by trying to imitate the shriek when they forget to formally request affection.
