I've already laid out what confirms that. There doesn't need to be a literal conversation with the question "Did you gain her consent?" and a "yes" or "no" for the scene to be unambiguous.

Yes, and it was finely disputed by rebirth. The context of the conversation was why Marlene was willing to allow the operation if she truly cared about Ellie. Nothing to do with consent.

If Joel is assuming, it's with more than sufficient evidence to be certain. I see no conceivable way it wouldn't cross his mind with how blatantly obvious it is given Marlene's attitude and Ellie's absence.

Literally nothing about Marlene's attitude changes with or without Ellie's consent; Joel would still threaten her, Ethan would subdue him, and things would go exactly as they did. And anyway, as several others have pointed out to you numerous times, Joel was not motivated by whether or not Ellie gave consent, so what's even your point?

Either way I'm tired of the argument, and I have better things to do now.

Yeah yeah, we'll see how true that is.
