    A serious discussion about the ethics of bestiality? If that’s the kind of place you’re looking for I think you might have to create it yourself.

      Honestly it would be really interesting to read that discussion, if it stayed objective and not divert to memeing. You can argue bestiality shouldn’t be forbidden by specific laws (but animal welfare laws) since if we make laws based on what we find gross, that’s how we get bans on homosexuality for example. Also you could argue that animals can actually consent in some ways, since if a male dog is willing to hump anything, isn’t that consenting? But then on the other hand in comparison if a person of limited mental capacity is willing to fuck anything, is fucking them ethical?

      Anyway, after writing that I find it important to point out that I’m personally aromantic asexual and absolutely do not want to fuck anything lmao. Though maybe that also has something to do with how I can look at these concepts from a distance, since they have nothing to do with me

        The keyword is informed consent, which requires full understanding of the situation. Children, animals, and impaired people can’t give informed consent.
