Cannibalism is bondage to the flesh

Cannibalism is the pinnacle of fleshly desires. It's a desire so base and depraved that it cannot be shown in non-nightmare contexts. If you look at the various portrayals of it in fiction, you can see that the representation of it ranges from "absurd fetish" to "cosmic horror". The fetish aspect is so depraved that it is borderline impossible to normalise it to the extent that vampirism has been normalised in media. <br><br>Vampirism is just blood, and there is nothing worse about blood than any other bodily fluid. Blood is something that is readily available in the world, as it is a byproduct of death. There is no need to kill anyone to procure blood, as blood is literally everywhere as the byproduct of death. <br><br>Cannibalism, however, is the act of eating literal flesh. It cannot be normalised as there is no lesser alternative to flesh. If you want to eat flesh, you need to obtain flesh, and the only way to obtain flesh is to kill.<br><br>Flesh is something that is inherently bound to life. Flesh is literally life. Blood is a byproduct of life, and so is piss and shit and snot. Flesh is literally the substance of life. To engage in the act of eating flesh is to engage in an act that is literally in line with the fleshly desire to participate in the cycle of life and death. <br><br>To eat flesh is to literally eat death. Death is an inherent part of the flesh. When you eat meat, you are literally eating death. You are eating a part of an animal that has literally died for you to eat it. <br><br>You can't normalise cannibalism because it's inherently bound to death. It's inherently bound to the flesh. There is no way to abstract it away from the flesh. There is no way to separate the act of eating flesh from death. To eat flesh is to engage with the flesh, and to engage with the flesh is to literally engage with death. <br><br>Even the holy sacrament of the Eucharist has been abstracted away from the flesh. It is no longer flesh. It's the spirit of Christ. It's not flesh. It's literal bread. <br><br>There is no lesser alternative to flesh. The only thing that you can eat that is more substantial than blood is flesh. <br><br>This makes cannibalism inherently base and depraved. It's a desire that is so bound up in the flesh and so bound up in death that it cannot be shown in a non-nightmare context. It's a thing that is so inherently depraved that it cannot be separated from the flesh. It's a thing that is so inherently bound up in the flesh that it cannot be shown without a reference to the flesh. <br><br>This makes it bondage to the flesh. It's a desire that is so bound up in death that it cannot be separated from death. It's literally a desire to eat death. It's a desire to engage with the flesh in the most literal way possible. It's a desire to engage with the flesh in a way that is so bound up in death that it cannot be separated from death. <br><br>And yet, cannibalism is something that is so common. Every single day, thousands of people die and are eaten. Not necessarily by humans, but by animals. We are literally flesh. We are literally meat. We are literally animals. We are literally a product of nature that is to be used by other animals. <br><br>This is why cannibalism is so base and depraved. It's a thing that is so bound up in death that it cannot be separated from death. It's a thing that is so bound up in the flesh that it cannot be separated from the flesh. It's literally a desire to eat death. It's a desire to engage with the flesh in the most literal way possible. <br><br>This is why cannibalism is bondage to the flesh. It's a thing that is so bound up in death that it cannot be separated from death. It's a thing that is so bound up in the flesh that it cannot be separated from the flesh. It's literally a desire to eat death. It's a desire to engage with the flesh in the most literal way possible.
