at what age did you start watching hannibal

I actually havent watched hannibal, but I started experiencing Anthropophagian desires at around 12, struggled with self guilt for about 4 years, and very recently went to therapy to come to terms with it. Now I have a healthier view of my hunger, a more complete philosophy on meat and ethical consumption, and the assuredness that I'm not a danger to myself or others like I feared. So you can stop treating me like an item or a fangirl with an obsession.

cannibal cafes?? wait like, dispensaries for human meat? or like, more of a casual serendipi-tea type place w cucumber liver sandwiches? god i just realized the potential safe-haven this creates for human trafficking and body disposal, theft of remains too. if parts are being sold then historical/protected remains likely won’t be illegal to sell anymore, meaning ppl could get away with grave-robbing and desecration much more easily.

in saying that people would voluntarily donate(?) their limbs and organs cause why not: surgery is extremely dangerous. and expensive, like super fucking expensive. w all the tech too. like you would need surgeons to perform unnecessary and potentially life-threatening surgery. with that goes the potentials of prosthetics, physical therapy to relearn everything again, nerve damage, phantom + pain, inaccessible spaces cos ablism, dialysis, scarring, and a huge recovery period where it’s not likely they’d be able to work/go to school/support their own needs. then they have to live with that disability for the rest of their life. i don’t know what you mean by the partial meat harvest thing, could you explain that?

also how would disability claims work if you willingly chopped off your leg and can no longer work, either due to inaccessibility or health complications ? technically it’s a voluntary unnecessary surgery, so would they be held liable? what if they donate an arm but die on the table, would the whole corpse be a snack then?

I mean, it would be kind of like. Hair donations? Like you show up to have your hair cut, you don't show up with a bag of human hair. You'd have to know the source and that it was given freely. Obviously, my main concern is with this being ethical- trafficking, murder, and body desecration would all still be illegal in the ideal scenario here.

As for just wanting to, plenty of people have body dysmorphic disorder and may actually desire to have part of their body removed for any reason. Of course, if they're an adult and they're well informed of what's going to happen as a result of removing a body part, I trust them to make that decision for themselves. It's largely about bodily autonomy in that case. But also, people will do all kind of physically risky and expensive things- I've personally considered getting a tongue piercing, and just reading into the care for that... it's a lot just to have a piece of metal in your tongue.

Partial meat harvesting is meat harvesting in part and not whole, to about any non fatal amount. It could be as little as a sliver off the arm, or the entire left leg. It's completely up to the person who's having the part(s) removed.

I don't know how to think about the disability thing actually. I mean, disability shouldn't be like a "poor you, here's some money for your tragedy" it should be "here's the help you need to live a healthy life". And regardless of whether or not that disability was willingly walked into, I do still think they deserve disability assistance.

Now health complications are a different thing. If the procedure doesn't go as expected, I'd say you're liable to be compensated for damages by the medical staff that took the meat from you. And if someone dies as a result of an arm donation let's say, then their arm can be harvested as that's what they gave permission for, but the rest of the body cannot.

Ooo! This is super cool! I would love to try human flesh, but I personally struggle with the idea of being harmed/seeing another human sustain harm. Would you consider eating lab-grown human meat a form of EA? That would be my ideal scenario!!!!

Oh absolutely! Pitri-dish human meat is the ideal ethical scenario, although it's fairly difficult, expensive, and slow. I personally don't mind the idea of consensually harming someone because I grew up in a hunting family and I've gutted birds, fish, deer, etc. Before and it doesnt bother me much anymore but that's also a good option ^^

ok, i’ve got hypothetical questions for a world that has accessible cannibalization.

how would you propose to monitor the hypothetical commercialization of cannibalism and keep it ethical? do you think certain races/ethnicities/minorities would be targeted/enslaved/illegally harvested by mass corporations overseen by the government? because that sounds like some shit they’d do, they’ve done worse. how would you prevent that? what if there’s a mass food shortage, would there be an edible draft for the old & disabled to get nommed?

and would foetuses count towards meat too? i mean, they’re used in skincare & people eat placenta already. who (the willing who want to be cannibalized) would be eligible for harvest? as in, medical assistance in death (MAID) has very particular prerequisites, would you have to be government approved? would it be the same as donating your body to science?

what do you think the impact would be on loved-ones of the deceased to know they were eaten and not put to rest as per their religion/spirituality/tradition? because the choice being widened from science, burial or cremation to include cannibalism is a huge jump. funerals would also be shorter due to shelf life, if existent at all. how would you circumvent that?

do you think people would try to dodge the og war draft by eating their fingers? actually, would fingers count towards meat/sustenance or be just a simple mutilation? also this sounds like a really good way to get a prion disease. im genuinely curious how deeply youve thought into this pipeline.

Oh, these are all really interesting questions First of all there is no ethical consumption under capitalism as we Know. I genuinely believe that almost no part of the current food industry is ethical much less the meat industry specifically, so I don't trust corporations to dole out human meat. I think the most ethical way to do a culling and eating process is as personally as possible, and that extends to all animals- like a human friend that you know, or a pig that you've raised. Food will be more ethical when you can look over it. Accessibility is more about the lack of legal restrictions- and the idea of cannibal cafes of a sort.

Obviously, giving a monetary incentive for donating part or all of your body could draw issues with consent for those who are in poverty, so I can't think of any real reason someone might donate part of themselves other than... they just don't need that part. Or maybe it's something they've just always wanted to do, for some reason? Lord knows people have their fantasies. But it's also a place were ethical autoanthropophagians could have part of themselves removed by a medical professional in a sterile environment with sterile equipment for use cooking later, or where two people who have agreed upon a partial meat removal could go.

I don't have a great answer for the foetus thing actually, I never really thought about it. I guess in some ways, eating the placenta IS ethical anthropophagy already. Probably about as far as I would push that personally, but it all depends on where you draw the line of life beginning.

This might sound a little bit rude, but I've never really cared how the families would feel about it? If the person was able to consent to such a thing, then it was entirely their own business. I would be just as upset if someone was barred from cremation because their family wanted a burial- it's not exactly their place to decide that, and they need to cope with their dislike of it on their own terms. Plus, people who want to be cannibalized after death would probably need to meet some really specific standards due to the preservation and safety of the meat itself- it might be reserved for the older folk who know they aren't staying around long. I think MAID is a pretty good comparison for it, although I don't know much about the requirements myself- I'll have to look into it when it isn't 3 In The Am, but they're fairly similar situations with just different outcomes after the fact.

You're really only at risk of prion disease if you're eating the meat of someone ELSE with prion disease, OR you're eating the brain. Eating any organic thing possibly affected by rot or disease requires a certain amount of inspection beforehand.

i don’t understand you at all. but i read that depending on where you live, if someone gets an amputation (doc prescribed) & the meat is “safe” then the hospital can send it home w you & u can do whatever, like eat it. one dude did that & made pulled-pork out of one of his limbs & shared it (KNOWINGLY) at a party that was purposefully hosted to eat that smeat. that seems fine, i’d try it cos the limb was coming off anyways & the amputee suggested it first. i just don’t get why someone would purposely disable themselves to… eat “clean”? there are tribes that do cannibalize the body at death for ritualistic purposes, but i’m p sure thats illegal outside of that? i’m p sure they don’t kill to eat people either, they pass naturally. idk what yr point is to eat manflesh tbh, like if there’s a goal or bc u just can, but i’m a little invested in knowing it. (/gen btw)

Thank you for the genuine question! The idea is that humans are capable of informed consent, and therefore eating the flesh of a consenting human is the most humane possible way to consume meat. However, it's also just a general fascination with human meat and the desire to eat it ethically and legally in an accessible way. I guess part of my desire in eating manflesh is the same desire one would have to eat a crab rangoon- it seems tasty and satisfying

[eathumane]

@racaseal yknow what, if you can tell me what you suppose I should get help for I'll go ahead and do it. Or maybe you're just uncomfortable with how comfortable I am in the idea of humanity as meat and you don't like that I'm happy and reasonable with it :/

Striations

Also. Reminder that cannibalism is AT ITS CORE morally neutral which is a big part of my arguement. The act of consuming part of a human's body is not an inherently sinful act and yall have to open your eyes to it and separate it from the context you always see it in, which is demonized by media's influence

I'd like to have a discussion about my core values regarding EA with someone who's actually going to be respectful of it and not immediately react with disgust because of their bias.

@kittaykattz I'm BEGGING yall to read the pinned post before commenting cause some of yall just took this post at face value and refused to look into what I'm saying any further

Deleted a post because some anons made a good point, but for reference pls dont call me a girl as it makes me dysphoric, thank you ♡

Humans don't even have that much meat. Eating other humans isn't gonna fix anything. Especially because by the time we die from natural causes we're tough and probably toxic. Why is this such a big deal to you. Stupid fucking hill to die on.

We eat a lot of things that don't have a lot of meat to be honest (birds and rabbits etc)

I don't eat to fix things, and you probably don't either. This isn't a political movement, it's a way of living.

Ideally, you wouldn't wait until a natural cause of death- you and a consenting adult would agree upon partially removing some of their body OR humanely culling them for all their meat, which is quickly refrigerated and used according to meat safety standards

Why is me wanting to eat human meat ethically such a big deal to you? Why is trying to prove me immoral the hill you want to die on?

There is nothing that can be said of my desired eating habits that does not also damn any average non-human meat eaters to the same immorality

ETHICAL ANTHROPOPHAGIAN FAQ

What’s an Ethical Anthropophagian? Essentially, an EA is someone who wants to eat another human being partially or fully with their consent. This identifier IS NOT sexual in nature and does not imply any association with kink communities, but does welcome people who want to do it sexually as long as they follow the safe, sane, and consensual motto- after all, this is ethical anthropophagy.

Why are you calling your flag a crest? I don’t want anyone to get confused or imply any connection to queer identities. This is a subculture/lifestyle self identifier.

Why are you an EA? I firmly believe that all humans belong on the same physical baseline as animals, despite our higher intelligence and society. This isn’t to say that animals are worth more than us and shouldn’t be eaten (ARA veganism/vegetarianism), or that humans are just stupid or not special when compared to other members of the animal kingdom in certain contexts. It means that in the specific context of our physical bodies, human meat is no different from non-human mean. I also believe that in some ways, eating human meat is more ethical than eating animal meat, as humans are capable of giving informed consent to being eaten, while animals cannot.

Ew, anthropophagy is gross and immoral because (insert reasons). Get off my blog <3

Can I be an EA? Anyone of any age, gender, sexuality, nationality, race, religion (short of restrictions that forbid it such as kosher), etc. can be an EA!

Do you have to have eaten human meat to be an EA? Nope! Due to the intense legal restrictions in most countries, cannibalism of another human is illegal due to all sorts of things- assault laws, medical fraud laws, body desecration laws, and outright laws against the consumption of another person’s flesh. It would be ridiculous to require people to eat a human being to be an EA.

Do you encourage eating human meat? Theoretically, yes- with careful preparation. All meat can be dangerous if not prepared in the expected way, so if you’re not sure how to safely cook human meat, please do not. Also as a disclaimer, don’t do anything that breaks the laws of your country, state, or provinince. I do not advocate for illegal behavior on this blog, regardless of my personal opinions to the contrary of the law’s intended purpose.

Thoughts on Autocannibalism? Don’t even try it by yourself, please. If you aren’t completely sure of what you’re doing, removing a part of your body without immediate medical care can be very dangerous and result in excessive blood loss or infection. If you ARE going to autocannibalize, look into the laws regarding it in your area, and have a medically trained, sober professional remove the flesh with sterile equipment in a sterile environment, and refrigerate or freeze the meat immediately upon removal before cooking. Also, if you’re having a body part or organ (that is safe to eat) removed already, you may be able to ask the doctor if you can have it.

What parts of the body are safe to eat? Obviously, the intestines and bowels should be avoided for risk of e. coli or other nasty bugs. The liver can contain dangerous or even fatal amounts of vitamin a, and eating the brain can cause JCD (mad cow disease.) Look at organs with discretion, but other than that, most meat, blood, and bones should be safe to cook with if handled with care.

More questions to be added as they are asked <3
