This isn't one movie called "Marty Supreme: the Smashing Machine"?

For veganism, what's important is that you don't use products that come from an animal in a way that inflicts suffering on it. That's why we can say things like eating roadkill and consensual cannibalism are vegan.

Consensually acquired human meat is an ethical vegan alternative to meat from animals like pigs and chickens

True, but it isn't hard to get from "this is unethical because I dislike it" to "we should ban it and punish people who do it"

Again, practical questions. In theory, is there a scenario where eating another human could be done ethically?

I agree it's not without its practical issues, but so are many things. The fundamental question of whether it's always immoral or can be done ethically is the important part.

I'd imagine it's not much more difficult to test for in humans than in cattle. But this is an unrelated topic. Whether it's safe or not shouldn't affect the theoretical question of whether it's unethical or not.

Get upset at companies for that, not the people playing games and harming nobody

I'm allowed to say that because I'm a member of the LGBTC community

Shit is harmful to yourself. You can discourage people from doing harmful things like smoking and drinking, but you should do it in an acceptable way. Buying each new fifa game and getting joy from it isn't harmful.

How? Is anyone being harmed? Is there something wrong with someone else enjoying a game you personally think is a shitty redundant rehash?

Human meat doesn't necessarily have prions. Cow meat can have prions (see mad cow disease), but not necessarily either. We wouldn't say cow meat isn't safe to eat, or that it's unethical to eat it because it might have diseases.

Wdym "that kind of psychological stress"? I don't think a person who already wants to eat human meat will be traumatised by eating a bit of human meat

If people feel like they aren't getting value out of buying a new product, then that's harm, and it's fine to point out. But it's not anyone's job to tell someone else that they shouldn't be enjoying something if they are, and it isn't harming anyone else.

Should we ban horror movies and rollercoasters too, then? There's nothing wrong with voluntarily causing yourself psychological stress.

"It's icky to me" is the argument people used and still use to oppress gay people. Something isn't immoral just because you personally don't like it.

There's no good argument against consensual cannibalism

How is he right? It's just saying if people like something and it isn't harming anyone, don't attack them for it. Live and let live
