First of all the correct terminology for BCH, BCHSV, BTG,... is shitcoins or copycats abusing the bitcoin name. They are not "consensus forks of bitcoin" in any sense of the term. They are simply poor copies.
Secondly there aren't just these 4-6 shitcoins that were named here, there are about 70 to 100 similar shitcoins with similar names. The number is so high that there are some websites keeping track of these shitcoins for those who want to claim their airdrops such as this one: http://www.findmycoins.ninja/

Might wanna add your merge mined chains since they stealthily are almost done using you for safe distribution while taking you BTC Core Chain's hash :)

They are clearly unconsensual forks, this is why they exist in the first place!
If any of them were consensual bitcoin would not exist!

For example, if BCH was the "consensus" bitcoin would die (as it would not be the longest chain) and BCh would just be called bitcoin!
