It IS - if they're on the {*ahem*} receiving end.

You do know that if a woman gets pregnant the amount of complications that can lead to death without abortion are not 0 right? So yes, rape can 100% be fatal.

They certainly sounds like someone I'd like to have over for a casual dinner.

Seriously though, cannibalism is a pretty popular fetish, though usually only serial killers or people stranded out in the ocean actually eat others.

Point is it's not actually considered so distasteful, just illegal, so it's a poor example.

There are plenty of things people don't enjoy or fetishize that could be used instead.

Imma have a hot take here:

Having a rape fetish is fine. As long as it's only a fantasy, or only done in consensual pretend roleplay, etc. It's fine to fetishize and fantasize about rape as long as you're not actually raping anybody.

(Same as those with a cannibalism fetish. Fantasizing or roleplaying about eating people: fine. Actually eating people: not fine.)

Also...

Everything is somebody's fetish. EVERYTHING. No matter what you think up, I guarantee there's some twisted fucker out there who gets their rocks off on it.

Rape is sometimes fatal.

• Could transmit a deadly disease such as HIV.

• Could result in pregnancy, and the pregnancy could result in complications that cause death.

• In some cases, it drives the rape victim to commit suicide when they otherwise wouldn't have.

• In extreme cases (especially cases involving very young minors), the act itself can injure the victim badly enough to directly result in death.

These are terrible arguments you are making. Not just in theme, but in logic. Your red herring and followimg assertions are in poor taste, and the more assumptions you add, the weak argument only becomes weaker.

I will not be responding to any of your responses to this, as you've already proven to be hardly worth the time and effort to type even this message. Grow up and do better, stop this childish nonsense, or go back to reddit and 4chan where your awful ideas will be entertained.

Unironically yes. Socialisation is a huge aspect of personal development, and it being left by the wayside has led to a pipeline of young men being funneled into garbage ideologies on the internet.

I feel like this should be common sense but I'm finding problems like this tend to just persist forever for some reason.

Your own name is -1 'o' and +1 'c' away from disagreeing with you

Either end. There are decent kids out there, we need them all to be like that.

Agree in principal, but this would also require a justice system that punishes rape like cannibalism - which is essentially just murder with extra steps. So that's a choice we'd have to make as a society.

Cannibalism actually is NOT illegal in most jurisdictions 😬

It's just really horrific & unthinkable so most people tend to self- regulate by simply having no desire or inclination to eat other people.

And perhaps one reason most places haven't even bothered to criminalize cannibalism is that murder and tampering with dead body etc are already illegal, so Dahmer-types would already be charged with those crimes.

Cannibalism isn't exactly illegal.

Murder and manslaughter obviously is, but chowing down on the remains is a violation of other laws like interfering with a corpse, indecent treatment of a body, or improper disposal of human remains. There's no law specifically outlawing cannibalism.

If you didn't kill the person, but only ate part of them (maybe a lucky find on the hiking trail after a bear has been through because they were already dead, you thought nobody would notice a few extra chunks missing, you've always been curious, and this was a once in a lifetime opportunity) and get caught, the punishment is actually relatively mild. In some circumstances it could be even less than aggravated assault.

rape is an actually popular fetish, not sure why that person above thinks cannibalism is...

go onto any of the larger hentai sites and check most popular tags, a good 20% will be some manner of non-con, less than 1% is guro

Kinda.

The big shifts come from social attitudes rather than legal consequences.

Doesn't mean the law isn't worthwhile, only that the threat of punishment feels far more distant and abstract than social consequences.

For example, here in the UK, knife crime and drink driving were addressed by changing public perception of them rather than increasing legal consequences.

See also "The War on Drugs" to reflect on the powers of the law vs society.

Yeah, we had that way before the internet.

I have them tagged as 'Genuine coward, cunt'.

I've honestly forgotten the exchange where they earned the tag, but the tag is useful!

Edit: oh they're the kind of cunt that deletes their comments instead of acknowledging they're wrong. Genuine reddit brain.

I personally find cannibalism more palatable

Ummmm....

Rape is 100% a more popular fetish than cannibalism. Or at least, being raped is. At least in the parts of society I interact in. Maaaaybe you are part of some social network that is invisible to me which is actually more representative of society as a whole, where having a cannibalism kink is super common... but I kinda doubt it.

Based on my world view -

• Fantasies about being raped are super common, and largely acceptable. Its not something you would talk about in a job interview, but if you're sharing drinks with friends and there are some friends of friends there, talking about your rape fantasy would be mildly scanalous in the way that strengthens social bonds.
• Fantasies about raping someone else are less common - but this might be due to social pressure. Social acceptance is the same as having a being-raped fantasy if you say you enjoy the accoutrements - you can discuss with friends of friends how you like pinning partners down, tying them up, choking them, rough sex, etc. But out and out saying "the idea of raping someone is really hot to me" is not socially acceptable in the same way, and is something you would reserve for deep conversations with close and trusted friends and partners.
• Having a fantasy about eating human flesh is even less acceptable than having a fantasy about raping people. Most modern sex-havers understand the underlying appeal of power dynamics in the bedroom. Far fewer understand the desire to do something like eat human meat, or its relationship to sex in general. This puts cannibalism closer to something like watersports - it isn't just socially taboo. It is gross. It is the kind of fetish that you would only admit to having with other friends who you already know are very kink-friendly.

Smoking the reefer is technically illegal in lots of places, but it is pretty commonplace in most western nations. Even if it is illegal, it isn't too hard to find a hookup or friends who will smoke with you. The same can't be said for eating human flesh. You can't just join the "ethical human flesh eaters" facebook group for your city and ask which morgues are cool with selling a few kilos from the hobo that had a heart attack under the bridge last week. You can't even join the "pretend cannibals" facebook group for your city where you all meet up for a dinner party where someone made a pot roast and you all pretend that it is actually human.

Cannibalism is not, in any way, shape, or form, by any stretch of the imagination, socially acceptable. Like, at all.

Only 20%?

With my (admittedly quite limited) experience with hentai, it seems like at least 90% of them include at least one non-con scene. That's one reason I never really got into it. I'm not really into the rape fetish, and I found it genuinely difficult to find any hentai that didn't feature it prominently.

I'm told "long pork" tastes like veal or salted pork, depending on the cut.

Oh man, IV had salted pork once for the meme.... Probably the worst damn thing I've ever eaten. Like eating strait salt

I occasionally bring up with my friends how I think it will be awesome once lab grown meat is more popular that we can grow human meat and eat ourselves.

maybe higher...lot of weirdness with how tags work in that space actually. like alot of stuff will essentially be non-com but they half-ass some bit where the woman get fucked into mindless nymphos, which will get tagged as ahegao instead of non-con.

(personally also hated cop-outs like that... it's all fantasy, no-one is actually being hurt so why pull punches trying to make it more palatable? go all in with the depravity imo)

I'm good with cannibalism under certain circumstances. Miss me with that other shit every single time though.

Ritualistic cannibalism of the billionaires

Of course, fully agreed. My comment was meant to be a bit tongue-in-cheek, which I thought would've been fairly obvious. Apparently, I was wrong.

Hah, check out "vore" instead of "cannibalism" and you might be surprised. :3

(Furry here, and into being eaten (of course I'm fine after, because ✨RP logic✨ means you don't have to deal with little inconveniences such as "death" or "the laws of physics"). I don't know anything about human porn inclinations, but it's pretty common in furry!)

I've never come up with a hypothetical where I'd end up raping someone. I have come up with hypotheticals where I might end up eating human meat Donner party style.
