Current Events > guys can we PLEASE talk about how CANNIBALISM is such a extremely immoral...

(+) Yeah! (+)

disrespectful, and not to mention ILLEGAL action???

why is no one talking about this???

Its rude to talk with your mouth full

No, I don't want to talk about it.

Magellan probably thought so...except for the illegal part, I guess.

Catholics seems ok with it...

silence, food

vore

New movie out called Bones and All, worth watching.

did leonardo dicaprio do some cannibalism and got away with it? what's going on

The cannibals in The Forest really brought the game to life.

Truly will be forever once of history's greatest blends of Horror and Wilderness survival we will ever see in a game.

our ancestors likely engaged in it at some point across our family tree, due to a need for survival.

they don't call it can'tibalism for a reason

That doesn't make it okay dude. Our ancestors engaged in murder, rape, genocide, pedophilia, animal/human sacrifice, torture etc.

Our ancestors were assholes

I wasn't saying that it was okay.

but I was trying to make a point that without it happening at some point, a lot of us might not be here.

I think it's one of the most messed up things possible, and cannibals/cannibalistic monsters were my biggest fear growing up, but I came to realize that it's sometimes an unfortunate necessity for survival.

Desperate times call for desperate measures, as they say.

What if the person agrees to be eaten?

Armin Meiwes was a cannibal who had asked online for a victim willing to be eaten. He got one. Ate him. Then was later charged.

This story has always intrigued me and I dunno how to feel about it. I mean, I believe in assisted suicide if must be. I believe in people having bodily autonomy. So it's really hard for me to call this an awful situation given that it was ...... actually consented by both people involved.

Was that the German dude? Yeah, crazy case of sexual cannibalism, and I think he was released later, and I believe the charges that stuck were related to illegal storage of human remains (in his fridge). I also agree with bodily autonomy and believe that consenting adults can do whatever the fuck they agree to do to each other...

It's awful, and no matter what the circumstances, anything that normalizes cannibalism shouldn't be allowed

Look at you on your high horse looking down on what other consenting adults do, and without even giving an explanation of your prejudice... ( -_-)

Yes, him. Wikipedia says his charges were 8 years but eventually overturned and set to life.

It's such a bizarre story. Because if in any way, shape, or form the idea of cannibalism could be 'accepted' in terms of dealing with a live person, I mean.... I don't obviously have the idea of eating people in a positive light but it's so hard to grab at this like any other kind of killing and cannibalism story.

It's so weird. I did a report on this back in Community College and my professor had no idea of this. It intrigued him enough to tell me it was a crazy and unbelievable story (and I got an A on it, woo!) .....

i would argue that someone who consents to being killed and eaten is probably not well in the head, and therefor shouldn't be trusted to make good decisions for themself, similarly to how "consent" while drunk shouldn't be taken advantage of because they aren't in a normal state of mind

I actually used to teach ethics at a small art college and sexual cannibalism was one of the more interesting topics to discuss...

I'm not for it by any means but psychologically, the situation is fascinating to think about and as I posted above, if you were to think about any way people would try to do this, or try to in any ways they could loophole it into being 'legal', this is probably the closest to 'legal' they could get.

Absolutely not.

Well, it's taking a situation that is already crazy and adding a whole gascan into it. So yeah, I can see that.

That's a fair point. But it's actually not an uncommon phenomenon, and people with this specific fetish have been studied and most are seen as competent and capable people with no underlying psychological problems....

fantasy is one thing, but actually going through with it sure sounds like a psychological problem to me. just... no restraint? i want to feel fulfilled by this even if it kills me or someone else? doesn't sound healthy.

To seek out a willing victim takes restraint. No restraint would be abducting whoever you want against their will to do this. When I say this, I don't mean during the actual killing. More or less to the waiting game to actually act upon it.

Yeah, doesn't necessarily sound healthy to me either, but I would say, like in cases of assisted suicide, that if they are evaluated by psychologists first then who am I to disagree with their choices?

yeah, that counts for something, but then... it goes away. not just for the eater, but the eatee. no second thoughts, fuck this life, eat me, rip me apart, i'm all in, i was born to be dinner

But, like, if that's their ultimate desire and that's what gives their life meaning...like I said, this isn't that uncommon of a fetish, you can find people's blogs about this. It's freaky but interesting...

That's pretty unlikely. Humans have an instinctive revulsion for eating other humans; and you can get nasty diseases of the brain from it too. In almost any situation hunting for wild game would have been better.

People who eat people would have died from weird diseases more often than procreated (not to mention scared off potential suitors).

Yeah. See, this whole story with him ...... not amused me, but interested me? ..... Because I've always assessed things from a more psychological level than an emotional level. Like, trying to be in the mind of the assailant, thinking how he was trying to potentially do this through what he assumed would be legal, what holdbacks he had, what he thought he had to gain and so on.

I mean, lots of life forms were born to be dinner too. We breed animals for food. In nature, animals are killed daily by other animals. If humanity didn't grow to the societal way that we have, we wouldn't be at the top of the food chain by any means and would be born to eventually be killed by other animals or even starving humans so they could live. The fact humanity has developed the way we did..... it's honestly unnatural and took many years and ages of killing outselves to get here.

All in all, I dug deeper into the story back in 2017. I don't remember everything anymore but again, it's just an interesting one to think about.

Actually, if you study anthropology, you'll find that nearly every ancient culture practiced cannibalism, although most anthropologists view it as a spiritual practice (like eating their soul), kind of like how Christianity still does...

oh i know it's not that uncommon of a fetish... -cough-

but what kind of precedent does that set?do we just let people kill themselves in roundabout ways as long as they're convinced it's what they really want? again, i'd have to argue that someone who wants that outcome isn't all together in the attic in the first place. assisted suicide for someone who's old or sick is one thing. i can't in good faith treat it the same as something like "it'd be so hot if you killed me"

Assisted suicide isn't just for the old and sick actually. And while I agree that I find it extremely out there, if a person was found to be of sound mind by a psychologist, then I feel it's their body and they can do what they want with it...

Yeah, it's wild. But that's why it's interesting to just take a case such as this and just..... assess it for what it was.

I mean, the craziest thing about it was that the victim had many outs and in the end, the victim even joined Armin in eating his own penis.... he survived long enough to ..... indulge on it, from what I remember.

Like, I've never want this stuff normalized but man like I said, it's wild and fascinating.

Someone consuming their own penis isn't fascinating. It's abhorrent. Particularly in the frame of "survived long enough".

ie, survived long enough with blood oozing and squirting from his body from his gaping wounds inflicted in live butchering to consume part of his own genitals.

Nothing about that is anything other than horrible

Yes, he did partake of his own body as well, and this was all recorded, and he was in full consent the whole time. Not only that, but they had been in discussion about it for a while--I believe the person was a teacher and was like the ninth person to respond to him, but the only one who stuck through the whole vetting process. Thousands of people responded that they wanted to watch it though...

For you, but apparently not for him...

Obviously murdering a dude for the sake of eating him is a big no-no, but I don't get the stigma of "This meat used be human like me". (Aside from potential medical issues as that other user mentioned) I know traditionally many are sentimental about funerals and such, but if you kan have a kard designating that your body kan be used for spare organs or donated to science, I don't see why it'd be that farfetched that someone is open to having their body eaten after they're dead and gone.
