careful, you can get lost in these stories they are kind of a train wreck. the worst one I've read about so far was (cw: torture) the attackers who tortured a guy for an hour with a heavy drill and made his four-year-old daughter watch

    That sounds condescending

    there are certainly contexts where calling people meat is dehumanizing but it seems closer to "humans are animals" to me than a fratbro objectifying a woman. I'm not around your shitty friend though. Thanks for explaining, I can see where you're coming from now.

    And even now, with someone blowing up on me for not liking it,

    who is blowing up?

      That actually sounds like the same justification for dismissing anyone that doesn't like it or feels demeaned by it: "actually this is scientifically accurate and technically correct" :very-intelligent: You're also reducing all animals to meat which is both arrogant and kind of gross for some, even outside of a vegan mentality. It's practically designed for sci-fi villain dialogue: "struggle if you must, meat, but the Killzor Empire will grind you and your planet down to useful edible components." Coincidentally, the "human female" talk could fit similar dialogue, thus the comparison I made. "The feeemale of the humans, bring that one to the Killzor Emperor's chambers!"

      who is blowing up?

      The other person in this reply chain that wasn't you or me, primarily.
