Is it morally wrong to eat a centaur?

Only the top half.

If it can speak a language I can understand, I consider it immoral to eat it.

What a fucking retarded question. You probably couldn't even explain why eating humans is "morally wrong".

There. Fixed it.

>>74175007
In Pathfinder, a centaur is a "monstrous humanoid," so it would be immoral for a human to eat one. However, in DnD, a centaur is a "monstrosity," so you're in the clear.

I fucking hate centaurs. I have always hated centaurs. I remember being pissed off that there were centaurs in Harry Potter when I first read it. I will NEVER be able to suspend my disbelief enough to accept spines that bend at 90° angles. And seeing you degenerates try to sublimate your horse fucking impulses with "monstergirls" has only made me hate centaurs more. It's still bestiality you sick fucks.

Snakes do it, or at least appear to. I'm sure something can be worked out.

No. It’s only morally wrong to eat humans, and it might be medically inadvisable to elves or dwarves due to the possibility of communicable diseases. Everything else is fair game.

No

>>74175066
Also no. Centaurs aren't human. If it isn't 100% human DNA it is not human, so it's okay to kill or torture for any reason, including on reason at all. Humans should not harm one another if they can help it because human life is wonderful and precious and everything else belongs to us and only holds value by what humanity can use it for. Killing and eating animals, aliens, angels, literally everything else is free game and shouldn't be protected by morality whatsoever.

>>74176024
I disagree with you wholeheartedly, I think only human suffering matters. I will freely admit I am unapologetically speciesist and see no value in non-human life whatsoever. In fact, non-human suffering can sometimes make food taste better. Like veal, for instance. God, I love me some veal, haven't had any in years but my grandma's veal is some of the best stuff I've eaten in my life.

>>74177245
Maybe, but I think it's right for people to mind their own business if someone isn't really hurting other people. John Wayne Gacy was a sick man who needed help and never got the help he needed, sadly, but maybe if it was more socially acceptable to buy feeder rats and torture them with knives, and there were clubs and organizations devoted to supporting and encouraging people like him, he might not have ever killed any people and stuck to just torturing rats with his friends. When people are silent about their darker desires they fester and burn at the mind, but when they are open about it, they can be encouraged to express it in an acceptable way. To me, torturing animals for fun is perfectly acceptable.

When a pyromaniac burns an abandoned shed, you don't ignore it because the indulgence of those compulsions inevitably lead to burning shit that isn't abandoned. When someone's torturing small animals, you section them before they move onto torturing small children.
>>
>>74177635
Nah you give them all the animals and sheds to torture/burn that they want and like-minded individuals to publicly do it with so they don't move on to children and actual buildings. you get a built in support group and peer pressure to stay within the realm of the law.

They can also be encouraged to push the boundaries on what counts as "acceptable".

If you can't understand the fundamental reasons behind 'torturing small animals is bad and leads to torturing other things', you're probably never gonna get it and should seek help.
>>
>>74178095
I guess, but letting people be open about it also means the public can see it and monitor just how far those boundaries are pushed.

>>74178168
>I should seek help
Why? I live a normal life I enjoy with friends and a job. Nothing I do interferes with being a functional member of society. I don't even torture vertebrates, I just sort of wish I could and see nothing wrong with it, but respect the laws of my nation and abide by them as best I can and for those reasons, refrain from torturing vertebrates. But really, I see those laws as pointless, but a pointless rule should still be followed.

While i understand and can appreciate that you might be able to limit yourself, others will most definitely not be able to. Not everyone who feels the way you do is a super psychopath, but more often then not a lack of empathy for even small animals, even with therapy, is actually still very dangerous because more often then not that shit spirals. and at what point do we stop and say don't do that? Torturing rats isn't too far away from squirrels, and that isn't too far away from cats. Dogs are a quick hop after that.

Now i'm not trying to be combative, i just personally find most of this shit just wrong. Not that i can't stomach it, I've seen some fucked shit. It's mostly just needless violence at the expense of something that was doing you no harm more times than not. kinda just picking your brain. (Pun not entirely intended)

I'm writing a one-nighter MtA about a bunch of exquisite strangers invited for a dinner at a submarine restaurant.

The chef promoting the dinner is a young, legendary prodigy known for only cooking twice a year for the richest and most powerful people on Earth. He uses nigh inexistant rare ingredients, and the dinners happen on different places every time: an abandoned factory dangerously close to the Chernobyl site, the top of a clock tower, the bottom of the ocean.

The chef tried to kill himself three years before the game takes place, for unknown reasons and in macabre ways. This is his great comeback.

All courses are announced through speakers, and only before the main course the Chef appears, to prepare the meat in front of the guests. He reveals a young female satyr trapped in cage, and proceeds to kill her and cook her into a dish.

The trick here is that the satyr doesn't act or communicate like a human, yet looks and demonstrates emotions much akin a scared human being.

>at what point do we stop and say don't do that? Torturing rats isn't too far away from squirrels, and that isn't too far away from cats. Dogs are a quick hop after that.
You draw the line at humans, obviously. I don;t see anything wrong with torturing a dog for fun, as long as it's your dog, you should be able to do whatever you want to it. And it;s not that I lack sympathy (the word you are looking for is sympathy. Empathy is where you've actually gone through the same shit. Sympathy is where you haven't and can only imagine. If you have been tortured in the past you can say you feel empathy for tortured rats, while if you've never actually been tortured it is sympathy. Big difference and everyone misuses it like they think they're interchangeable or something, just a pet peeve of mine.), I just choose not to feel it for non-humans. Sympathy/Empathy is like a light switch, when you're in control of your emotions you can turn it on and off at will. Or at least I can, I don't know if other people do but I'm totally capable of turning it on and off whenever I want.
>It's mostly just needless violence at the expense of something that was doing you no harm more times than not.
But if the needless violence isn't directed at a human then it;s okay, I see no moral reason a non-human's life should matter.

I'm very curious about your way of thinking if you're not larping, what do you find in humans that you value so much that you would let animal be totured just for the fun of one individual
What if we uplifted some species to reach human level intelligence, would you still consider torturing them then ? What if there existed a species that is better than humanity in every way, would you be ok with them torturing humans ? Would it be ok to torture them ? Do you value humanity highly just because you're human yourself, and not for any grand reason ?

You're the reason that mental asylums need to exist. I'm not saying that to be insulting, you have an actual sickness that you vehemently refuse to believe is a sickness and thus you won't seek help. But we can't just kill you, because as you're quick to point out, human life is universally deemed precious and thus it's immoral to kill you.

The best compromise both to you but more so to society is to put you in a straightjacket, lock you in a padded room and just keep feeding and watering you until you die on your own. A day I think cannot come fast enough. And yes, that one *was* meant to be insulting, you morally bankrupt freak.

Why is it wrong to eat humans? Because humans are sapient and thus not animals. Obviously a centaur is sapient, so eating one is wrong.

Why is banging a human not bestiality? Humans are animals aren't they? Because a human is sapient, thus not a beast. If centaurs are thinking creatures that use tools, speak language, and etc banging one isn't bestiality; they are not an animal. It's just xenophilia at that point. Also, you are Autistic about spines. If anything, you should have been concerned about how the lungs of a Centaur work.

It's still a horse ass you're sticking your dick into. Maybe if I was living in a fantasy world where Centaurs are decent people I wouldn't judge someone for being in a relationship with one, but in the real world centaurs don't exist so obviously I'm going to condemn a guy for wanting to fuck a centaur because it's basically wanting to fuck a realistic ass horse's anus. If the monstergirl's groin area is clearly beastly I'm gonna judge someone for basically wanting to fuck an animal's crotch with a human head and tits.

>>74182633
Human life is valuable because it;s human life. Like i said in an earlier post, I ma blatantly speciesist. If another species was uplifted to human intelligence I'd still be okay with torturing it for fun simply because it is not human. In fact, if we discovered aliens tomorrow that were vastly smarter than humans I'd believe they should be exterminated or enslaved at the first opportunity. If species was better than humanity in every way I would not be okay with them torturing humans, and I would in fact be all for their enslavement and extermination.

Yes, I value humanity so highly because i am one myself, been looking for a grand reason to justify it in the past but eventually decided I don't need one and the need to justify your opinions with grand reasons like that is simply a sign of lack of conviction.

>>74183902

Exactly, I'm drawing an arbitrary line in the sand at "humanity", there is nothing that makes us special. I never said we're super awesome. I never said we are god's gift to the universe.

Eh, not really, I never really felt like it wasn't going my way, more more like I decided it was unnecessary. It's like Radical Doubt.

I have no proof the universe isn't an elaborate computer game that brainwashes its subjects to think it's real. I have no proof anyone actually turns into ghosts when they die, but I still believe in ghosts. Same thing applies here. I don't need proof or justification to believe in human superiority.

However your sister might be cool, bugs are fascinating, I used to collect them, kill them, and mount their bodies on a styrofoam board as a kid, wasn't even a class project, I did it for fun after I saw my uncle's bug collection he did for school and thought it was cool as hell. Labelled them all too and read books to know exactly what I was killing and where to find more like them. Kept it for a while until a mouse broke into my house and ate most of them, never really got into it again after that.

Nah, everyone alive today is human. I'm not all about the semantics and details, if we have to fudge it a little it's all right. I'm not really into science and pre-history. If you subscribe to evolution, everyone had a non-human ancestor somewhere along the line. But those non-human ancestors are long dead and totally irrelevant to me. Neanderthals are pretty much extinct. I seriously doubt you could get a bunch of people together with Neanderthal DNA to make a Neanderthal breeding program to try and "Breed Back" Neanderthals out of human stock. So it's not really Neanderthal DNA anymore, it's human DNA now.

It really does sound like you are about semantics though. Zoological classification like homo sapiens and homo neanderthalis are more like scopes of dna. It's not like you can look at one strand and it's [Human] and another from the same body and it's [Not-Human]. They're all within a certain tolerance of center that we label as human.
You say you're fine with having no real reason or fact based thinking as it shows your "conviction." That's the dumbest thing I've heard all goddamn day. You're a fuckin trog who may understand he's dumber than the average, yet further rejects any kind of higher cognitive thought or critical thinking. You're worse than the well meaning but ignorant, you're intentionally stupid when you don't have to be. Rejecting the idea that your opinions should have a fact basis especially when you're justifying your hobbies of mutilation and killing animals is fucking psychotic. "Being able to turn off" emotion centers in your brain isn't control or being intelligent, it's literal textbook psychopathy. You're an animal and should be put in a zoo for study. It's obvious that you have some kind of raw intelligence, but you're so clouded by arbitrary lines of morality manifested from your own sickness that you're unable to use it. Either commit yourself to an institution where they might give you a butterfly a day to pull apart to quell your inherent torture instinct, or join the rest of us in a society that looks at things subjectively and tries to get along.

Hundreds of people form opinions without basis on fact. That's what religion is all about, isn't it? While I'm not exactly a religious person, I do believe in god, just as I do believe in ghosts. What makes my belief in human supremacy any different than believing in god? Both have no real basis on fact, but are believed anyway.

And I will not commit myself to an institution, I think it would be bad for me. I don't think there is anything broken with me, so there wouldn't be anything to fix. Then they'd look for shit to fix and give me drugs (I am a firm anti-drug person, I do not even drink and do not ever alter my conscious with chemicals in any way, I consider being on psych meds a form of non-sobriety, which I never want to do, I'd like to always be sober my entire life if I can help it, I've only been drunk once, hated every second of it, hope it never happens to me again). I am not a danger to other humans. I am a danger to small animals, but I don't believe their lives or suffering matters in the slightest. There's nothing you can really do to change my mind. If it's a problem that needs to be fixed then who's it hurting?

Read this guy's post. Then read it again. Then go read about narcissism. It's a lot different than you probably think. I'm fairly certain your "objectivity" is a pretty clear sign you might have some symptoms of it. Also the belief that medication is wrong for you, since you don't think anything's wrong.

But I'm not objective, this is all my opinion. I'm not saying it;s wrong for other people to value non-human life, just saying I don't and that I don't think anyone else should either. But everyone else is their own person and free to think whatever they want. I still don't think anything is wrong with me. I looked into narcissism, and I don't think I have it. It says narcissists lack empathy for others (I only turn off empathy for animals, and can turn it on and off at will), view others as inferior (I love humans, I only view animals as inferior), boasts of my achievements (I don't do this, I am a rather private person and would never tell anyone of this if this board weren't anonymous, in fact anonymity is the main reason I love 4chan), Mood swings when criticized (I don't do this either, I take criticism really well and do my best to be a team player at work), and always craves "the best" (I don't do this either), excessive urge for admiration (I don't really do this either, in fact I expect most people to hate me upon meeting me and am pleasantly surprised when they don't). This doesn't really sound like me. A few superficial similarities, but that's it.

No really, I don't get it? Not being obtuse, just been on the internet a long time.There are weird furries out there that really do identify as small animals.

>>74194025
At what point is a human not a human anymore, considering bionics. If I replace 50% of a human with machinery will your arbitrary line be crossed? What about if I replace everything but the human brain? In the case where you would still consider a human brain in a vat to be human, what if I showed you an alien brain in a vat that looks just like a human brain and told you it was a human brain. Would you still blindly worship the alien scum pretending to be human? Arbitrarily hard coded morals are a weakness for this reason
>>
>>74186194
How about fluffing it like this: souls are a magical blueprint of a person and they direct all the matter in a person to the proper place at the right time. DNA doesn't exist because cells don't exist and that's the reason healing potions/spells work at all: they do the same healing that a person's soul does when you get a cut but at a much faster rate. Using one of those healing things on a being which operates on DNA would not accomplish anything.
>>
>>74194804
If it's a human brain in a vat, as long as it's a living human brain, it's human to me. A person on a ventilator who can't breathe is still a human. That can still be applied to a theoretical person who has a machine do more than just breathe for them. So yes, a human brain in a vat is still a human.

>what if I showed you an alien brain in a vat that looks just like a human brain and told you it was a human brain
Then you lied to me and it's an alien brain. Not sure I understand the point you're trying to make with that one. Is this like a "Good Samaritan" type story where the guy learned not to hate Samaritans because one was nice to him and he didn't know he was a filthy Samaritan until after the fact? Like are you trying to say "If you thought this brain in a vat was a human brain and treated it well, and then found out later it was an alien brain would you still be okay with torturing it?"
If so, the answer is yes. To me, it is okay to mistreat non-humans as much as you want, including betray them. But I might be getting the wrong idea from your question and you meant something else?

>>74195191
I meant more like that instead of assessing the alien brain based on what it thinks or says you would asses it based on what I told you it’s species was. In that way I can trick you into supporting the things you don’t want to support because you don’t have case by case thinking. Most people will judge a sentient thing by the content of its character instead of species and I can’t trick them into supporting it if it has poor character because they can just talk to the brain and see for themselves. You don’t have that luxury because you can’t tell somethings species just by talking to it and you have to trust my lie. This means that your arbitrary standards are less applicable than normal people arbitrary standards and therefore hold you back
>>
>>74197893
I'm not sure I see what you're getting at. The content of an alien's character doesn't matter, it's an alien. If I think it's a human one second and treat it like a friend you'd better believe I'd stop caring about its well being as soon as I find out it's not an alien. That doesn't mean i'd mindlessly stab it in the back though, I'm friends with my mom's pet dogs and don't mindlessly torture them, but I'll freely admit I'd feel nothing if they died horrible painful deaths. Well, scratch that, it'd probably make my mom sad because she loves them so I'd feel bad for her but nothing for the actual dogs. And you say I can be tricked into supporting things I don't want? But can't everyone be tricked into doing that? If you judge an alien brain in a jar by the content of its character, you could be lied to that he's a generous being and loves everyone and then find out later he raped and killed six little boys last year. Kind and generous people can do evil shit too, and lies can cover it up (Remember how surprised everyone was when OJ Simpson got arrested for murder? He was considered a good-hearted family -friendly celebrity before that. Turns out he was a cold blooded killer.) Everyone can be lied to, no matter how they choose to judge people. Your point still doesn't quite register for me. Is there something I'm missing here?
>>
>>74198125
If I was lying to you about the character of the alien, the way you would figure that out is by talking to it and determining for yourself if it’s trustworthy. But you can’t do anything to find the true species of the brain so you’re stuck taking my word.
My point is pretty much that you can be manipulated much easier than other people can in this scenario because you don’t have a flexible standard of judging sentient creatures. Obviously this scenario isn’t gonna impact your life at all but it’s a thought experiment showing why your ideology isn’t as good as what the average person has. Whether or not you’re cool with that is up to you of course
>>
>>74199551
But I don't view all people as trustworthy. I love humanity but that doesn't mean I'll go out at night in a bad neighborhood and expect not to be mugged. People can be bad too. Humans can still be judged by the content of their character, it's must that I view all non-humans as inherently guilty (of the "crime" of not being human).
>>
>>74199684
Even so, you could be lead to act in a way you normally wouldn’t. Say you have to decide if the alien has to live or die because of a space crime it committed. Everyone who thinks the crime is abhorrent would just say yeah he should die regardless of his species. However if you think he’s a human you might be a little more lenient with him than if you knew he wasn’t (in which case you’d instantly let him die). The people who judge the culprit by actions can only be tricked if they’re lied to about the action, which would defeat the point of everything. Your process is a lot slower than theirs because you can be lied to about something that has nothing to do with the crime and that will impede your decision making. I just think it’s smarter to judge by actions here and ignore the species of the brain (meaning that even if we were lied to, it wouldn’t matter), which you would not be able to do. The one case where your style of thinking is the best way to think is if we are accusing the alien of being born an alien.
If we compare this to real life, it is more likely that you will be on a jury to look over the crime someone has committed instead of being on a jury to look over if someone was born with 7 ribs. In a human centric world, actions are more valued and prioritised than birth circumstances. Good chat though your worldview is interesting to think about
>>
>>74199684
Since you can turn off your emotions at will, why don't you do it for humans too
>>
>>74200036
Because I like humans and think I would lose some of my humanity if I didn't relate to them anymore.

>>74200018
I don't think I'd be more lenient on a criminal because he is a human though. There are rotten humans just like there are good ones. I don't think humans are these special golden things that can do no wrong, I just think everything else is okay to exploit and torture. Evil humans should still be punished, obviously. I do in fact believe in justice.
>>
>>74175007
yes but I would eat around the human parts personally
>>
>>74200120
The way I understand it, if an alien does a robbery or something you’d say sure kill it it is a nuisance and who cares what it thinks
But if a human did it you would be more sympathetic and probably not murder it in cold blood
This means you put the species before the crime which doesn’t really work in our society where we are taught to judge on actions and not birthright, so your ideology separates you from the average member of the species you love
Doesn’t sound like a happy way of life to me
>>
>>74194256
This guy is like the opposite of me.
I think people like you should be shot in the skull with a cattle gun and forgotten about.
I'd love to plow you full of drinks and listen to you explain your sick outlook and then shoot a rod into your brain when you pass out.

It's always degenerate fucks who espouse libertarian beliefs as a way to shield their fucked up fantasies. How many people that above all advocate for personal freedom turn out to be paedophiles or other types of creeps. If there were any justice in the world sick sadistic freaks like you would be enemy number one of society. You are fundamentally at odds with everyone here because people value humanity, not humans. I also don't even for a second believe you care about humans at all, you don't kill because you know you can't get away with it. Sadism only develops more in a person who fantasises or practices it, why rip the legs off a daddy long legs when a dog can express its pain. Why kick a dog to death when a human can communicate it's pain and beg for mercy.

People say they want you locked away somewhere because killing you is distasteful, but anyone here would rather hear you were hit by a speeding train then hear you were put in a looney bin.
>>
>>74200290
I sort of see what you're getting at now. But I'm okay with that. Also I am rather happy, in fact. Have a decent life, I actually love my job, so I'm already ahead of most people, and i have good friends and a good family. I'm pretty happy all around. Sure, I think a little different than most people, but I don't let it control my life. It's not like I lie awake at night thinking about all the rats I could be boiling alive and getting sad I can't do it.
>>
>>74200451
The DSM-V guy isn't me, I'm not a libertarian. Libertarians, on a fundamental level, don't respect the laws of their nation or their leaders that make the decisions. I'm not really a political person; I consider my self a pragmatic authoritarian.
>>
>>74200493
Yeah of course I don’t mean to say you’re a miserable piece of shit if you don’t think like the average person but it is interesting to me that you can support humanity without supporting a value of ours that has persisted for centuries: show compassion whenever possible
You said that you can choose to feel compassion for non human things so its not out of the question for you to show compassion to them, you just seem to have decided not to and have rejected the mantra of billions of humans alive and dead
>>
>>74200658
You nailed what I was thinking about, if you can choose to be whatever you want, why take risks and be at odds with everyone else ?
In my opinion, either the guy is larping and we've been feeding him for days now, or the dude is a legitimate sadist that tries to justify his cravings

Ok cool so we figured out one person's outlook on it, and it's such an outlier it can't really be used. So is it morally wrong to eat another sentient species? More specifically centaurs?
