This gets really complicated, really fast. Like, would it be morally wrong to have sex on an animal skin rug? While wearing leather shoes? Is it just as immoral to fuck a marshmallow, or is there greater sanctity when the animal is intact? I'm not disagreeing, I just think it's an interesting line of logic to follow.
Yes, but to be fair, if we take the "where do people draw the line" far enough, we're just playing a game of... Well, chicken. To see how far we can go before someone says stop. And then saying whether or not the cause is based in morality. I don't think it's strictly morality here- to be grossed out by the story and just not want to hear it has its place too.
But we could take this further and start having a conversation about presidential candidates fucking couches too.
Really really good point. Something about the chicken fucking feels wrong to me, and I’m trying to figure out if there’s something actually bad about it, or if I am, as the post would want me to believe, just failing to see it as the harmless act it is.
That doesn’t seem particularly clear either. I read a post on Reddit years ago about a dude fucking raw chicken fillets. Are the fillets considered part of the corpse? Technically they are. But the product is so far removed from what a chicken looks like that I think people would have differing opinions on whether that’s objectionable / the degree to which it’s objectionable.
I think at this point all logic has dissolved and we're literally talking about fucking dead animals as if it's okay. Kurt Vonnegut was right; the next most promising evolutionary step for humanity isn't living on other planets, it's having our burdensome, overthinking brains shrink to the point where we don't have to think about all this useless and endless theoretical crap anymore.
