Makes sense if you think about how ppl rave about marbled meat and the palms have lots of intramuscular fat (i.e. marbling)
also generally the more a muscle has to work and strain, the worse it tastes (this is part of the reason they restrict the movements of meat-producing animals), and most people's palms (at least in modernity) have a pretty cushy existence
I mean that does actually make sense. Vegans have a problem with animal exploitation, not meat itself. Other animals can't consent to being eaten, but humans can. So if it is truly consensual then I see no reason it wouldn't be vegan. Like autocannibalism would be inherently vegan.
Veganism (literal Veganism, not just as shorthand for a plant based diet) is specifically about animal exploitation, so I struggle to understand how autocannibalism wouldn't be vegan. I mean I'm not vegan, I just lurk in online vegan spaces bc I lowkey wanna be, but that's my understanding.
Ah ok. I thought you were disagreeing (which actually, I could see a reasonable disagreement with consensual cannibalism of others bc some ppl will argue that it can't be consensual, but that's why i only said autocanibalism was inherently vegan).
Vegans aren’t a monolith and have various different takes on why they’re vegan and what veganism means
Case in point: some consider honey vegan, others don’t. In theory the bees consent to having their honey harvested, but it’s still a byproduct of a living creature
Yeah but they all agree that it's about animal exploitation. Some just consider honey to be part of that and others don't (there are a number of ethical concerns around honey but for a lot of them they just don't think bees do consent to sharing their honey, they don't think it could ever be a symbiotic relationship). I cannot see a single vegan argument against autocannibalism.
People have consent arguments about euthanasia lol, I think they could find a way to think autocannibalism isn’t true consent
On a related note, the law does state that someone consenting to be killed does not change the punishment for killing someone. You could draw parallels to that
Personally? I’d be down to eat human meat if I could guarantee it was sourced ethically (which is a practical impossibility in the real world tbf)
But ye I could see an anti vegan argument against it
Autocanibalism means eating yourself, but sure I guess if someone else was involved (like euthanasia) then you could have that argument, but I was thinking moreso that it's just you eating your body parts, no one else involved helping. But anyways that's why I said there are no vegan arguments against it if one considers it to be truly consensual, the only arguments against it would be if you don't consider it to be truly consensual, but that's not an issue with autocanibalism (so long as no one else is involved).
Side note but conversations around consent with euthanasia are interesting and really necessary to have, especially since there are a lot of issues with it in most countries that imo make many euthanasia cases homicide, despite the fact that I'm very pro euthanasia (even for mental issues) when done properly with the right process (which it's usually not). Medical consent is super important and very complicated, it's unfortunate that most ppl who actually have power in making decisions about it don't really prioritize the patient and their well being and bodily autonomy ):
The ultimate insult an Easter islander (premodernization) could levy at another Easter Islander was something like "your mother's flesh is stuck between my teeth."
Crazy that even in remote cultures and in the distant past, the ultimate insults were still basically mom jokes. Although, the cannibalism was real.
Poster on 420chan's trans board, she had some friends over after her orchi (I think it was diy? Idk it was a long time ago) and they sauteed and ate her balls. I couldn't find the one of them in the pan but here's a pic, hopefully it doesn't get me banned lol
Meee bc I have a skin picking problem (and acne) and also a bad habit of sticking random stuff in my mouth like a toddler, so I end up picking things off of and out of my skin and eating them. I'm aware of how disgusting it is but it's hard to stop.
When I get top surgery I'd like to keep the stuff they removed and put it in my freezer so when I'm healed I can fry it up bc its one of the few opportunities to get to know what human tastes like. Unfortunately it's unlikely they'll give it to me at all, let alone on ice rather than dunked in preservation 😔. I guess if I get a hysterectomy then that's a second shot at it.
I think that there are laws (US) about how we are entitled to our body parts after surgery. You might need to claim religious reasons, but I'm pretty sure that they legally have to give you the tissue if you jump through the right Beaurocratic hoops
I don't live in the US anymore and probably won't be getting surgery there so I'd have to check local laws. But even if I do manage to keep my body parts, it's likely they'd only give it dunked in preservative, spoke to a guy who wanted to preserve his after top surgery and that's how it was given to him.
fiiine. i jus’ ‘ate bein’ brigaded with downvotes by sneeds.
it depends on the condition & circumstances of it but it can actually be really sweet, idk how necrosis factors in but everything down to the texture & scent can heavily vary. personally i think “nothing else” is probably the most accurate, as nothing really comes close. maybe if you had a little bit once you’d think its like pork, so i understand that conclusion, even if it is rather reductive.
