I'm no authority nor expert but I just want to say I wish nothing but misfortune and woe upon every white person who romanticizes + fetishizes anthropophagy (eating humans). mostly because I just hate white people

#Ask to tag #Okay legitimately. As a person who is half Chinese. I have seen a lot of sinophobic shit based on the idea that Chinese ppl #Eat people and are fucking. Morally depraved and fucked up and subhuman. So mostly I see white ppl going ''oh haha wouldn't it be sexy to #Eat another person'' and my eyes glaze over as I think about the crimes white ppl have committed against ppl of color #Esp Black ppl by dehumanizing and disrespecting their bodies by eating them. While also using the idea of #Anthropophagy as a cudgel against ppl of color (esp indigenous ppls)#whether it's historical examples or just fucking MADE UP. Well I get a little bit testy!#I get a little bit mmmm fucking pissed off #This isn't super based on anything. It's a little based on a post like ''oh I thought this was the website Abt how eating ppl is #ROMANTIC why do u see the relationship between a character who eats ppl and another character who cooks ppl as platonic? Hmm?''#And first of all. Anthropophagy can absolutely be a family thing. Like. That's incredibly A THING #Second of all anthropophagy can be used as a tool of dehumanization when it's stigmatized because it can be used as a way #Of showing that you don't view other people As Human and therefore when you eat them It Doesn't Count bc again. They're Lesser Than You #Anyways this is a. Nothing post. Conclusion anthropophagy is not inherently positive or negative it's incredibly context dependent #And ''being white'' is a huge element of said context. In that our ancestors have a history of evil on both sides #(accusing + commiting) that MUST BE UNLEARNED BEFORE COMMENTING UPON THE CONCEPT. And I don't trust most ppl with that shit
