there has never been a soft fork pushed through without consensus but if one were to it would natually result in a chainsplit
otherwise any of us could change bitcoin rules at will
this is basic shit
you should improve your understanding rather than continuing your harassment of me but so be it either way
A properly written softfork only activates with say 90% consensus by a specific block height. If it doesn't reach 90% then nothing happens, nothing to see here, move along.
SegWit was a softfork that resulted in bcash hard fork a couple of weeks in advance.
History sometimes is more complex than we think.
The bcash hard fork happened mainly over SegWit ("ugly code that introduces technical debt and encourages non monetary uses" which sounds familiar if you ask me ) and not like most think solely over blocksize. Although bcash came with 8M blocks from the beginning if I remember correctly that got later increased to 32M, when BSV forked to get their infinite blocksizes.
