Say things that aren't your words.
Unironically yes. Socialisation is a huge aspect of personal development, and it being left by the wayside has led to a pipeline of young men being funneled into garbage ideologies on the internet.
I feel like this should be common sense but I'm finding problems like this tend to just persist forever for some reason.

Yeah, we had that way before the internet.
I'm good with cannibalism under certain circumstances. Miss me with that other shit every single time though.
Ritualistic cannibalism of the billionaires
It IS - if they're on the {*ahem*} receiving end.
Either end. There are decent kids out there, we need them all to be like that.
Of course, fully agreed. My comment was meant to be a bit tongue-in-cheek, which I thought would've been fairly obvious. Apparently, I was wrong.
Agree in principal, but this would also require a justice system that punishes rape like cannibalism - which is essentially just murder with extra steps. So that's a choice we'd have to make as a society.
Kinda.
The big shifts come from social attitudes rather than legal consequences.
Doesn't mean the law isn't worthwhile, only that the threat of punishment feels far more distant and abstract than social consequences.
For example, here in the UK, knife crime and drink driving were addressed by changing public perception of them rather than increasing legal consequences.
See also "The War on Drugs" to reflect on the powers of the law vs society.
Cannibalism isn't exactly illegal.
Murder and manslaughter obviously is, but chowing down on the remains is a violation of other laws like interfering with a corpse, indecent treatment of a body, or improper disposal of human remains. There's no law specifically outlawing cannibalism.
If you didn't kill the person, but only ate part of them (maybe a lucky find on the hiking trail after a bear has been through because they were already dead, you thought nobody would notice a few extra chunks missing, you've always been curious, and this was a once in a lifetime opportunity) and get caught, the punishment is actually relatively mild. In some circumstances it could be even less than aggravated assault.
I personally find cannibalism more palatable
I occasionally bring up with my friends how I think it will be awesome once lab grown meat is more popular that we can grow human meat and eat ourselves.
I've never come up with a hypothetical where I'd end up raping someone. I have come up with hypotheticals where I might end up eating human meat Donner party style.
I'm told "long pork" tastes like veal or salted pork, depending on the cut.
Oh man, IV had salted pork once for the meme.... Probably the worst damn thing I've ever eaten. Like eating strait salt

They certainly sounds like someone I'd like to have over for a casual dinner.
Seriously though, cannibalism is a pretty popular fetish, though usually only serial killers or people stranded out in the ocean actually eat others.
Point is it's not actually considered so distasteful, just illegal, so it's a poor example.
There are plenty of things people don't enjoy or fetishize that could be used instead.

Imma have a hot take here:
Having a rape fetish is fine. As long as it's only a fantasy, or only done in consensual pretend roleplay, etc. It's fine to fetishize and fantasize about rape as long as you're not actually raping anybody.
(Same as those with a cannibalism fetish. Fantasizing or roleplaying about eating people: fine. Actually eating people: not fine.)
Also...

Everything is somebody's fetish. EVERYTHING. No matter what you think up, I guarantee there's some twisted fucker out there who gets their rocks off on it.
rape is an actually popular fetish, not sure why that person above thinks cannibalism is...
go onto any of the larger hentai sites and check most popular tags, a good 20% will be some manner of non-con, less than 1% is guro
Hah, check out "vore" instead of "cannibalism" and you might be surprised. :3
(Furry here, and into being eaten (of course I'm fine after, because ✨RP logic✨ means you don't have to deal with little inconveniences such as "death" or "the laws of physics"). I don't know anything about human porn inclinations, but it's pretty common in furry!)

Only 20%?
With my (admittedly quite limited) experience with hentai, it seems like at least 90% of them include at least one non-con scene. That's one reason I never really got into it. I'm not really into the rape fetish, and I found it genuinely difficult to find any hentai that didn't feature it prominently.
maybe higher...lot of weirdness with how tags work in that space actually. like alot of stuff will essentially be non-com but they half-ass some bit where the woman get fucked into mindless nymphos, which will get tagged as ahegao instead of non-con.
(personally also hated cop-outs like that... it's all fantasy, no-one is actually being hurt so why pull punches trying to make it more palatable? go all in with the depravity imo)
Ummmm....
Rape is 100% a more popular fetish than cannibalism. Or at least, being raped is. At least in the parts of society I interact in. Maaaaybe you are part of some social network that is invisible to me which is actually more representative of society as a whole, where having a cannibalism kink is super common... but I kinda doubt it.
Based on my world view -
Smoking the reefer is technically illegal in lots of places, but it is pretty commonplace in most western nations. Even if it is illegal, it isn't too hard to find a hookup or friends who will smoke with you. The same can't be said for eating human flesh. You can't just join the "ethical human flesh eaters" facebook group for your city and ask which morgues are cool with selling a few kilos from the hobo that had a heart attack under the bridge last week. You can't even join the "pretend cannibals" facebook group for your city where you all meet up for a dinner party where someone made a pot roast and you all pretend that it is actually human.
Cannibalism is not, in any way, shape, or form, by any stretch of the imagination, socially acceptable. Like, at all.
Point is it's not actually considered so distasteful, just illegal
Cannibalism actually is NOT illegal in most jurisdictions 😬
It's just really horrific & unthinkable so most people tend to self- regulate by simply having no desire or inclination to eat other people.
And perhaps one reason most places haven't even bothered to criminalize cannibalism is that murder and tampering with dead body etc are already illegal, so Dahmer-types would already be charged with those crimes.
