      I never knew there were so many! They have nicknames for whole groups of people that aren't even clever!

      In that one way, at least, I guess they're right in line with the mainstream of current political discourse. 🙄

      And on a planet with 7 billion people, there are "so many" of everyone and everything. Yay, humans.

      Read a news story once about a guy whose sexual fantasy (somehow) was to be killed, cooked into a delicious meal, and eaten.

      So naturally, he put an ad on Craigslist, and found a guy like two towns away who had the corresponding murderer/chef/picky eater fantasy.

      So they set up a date and did exactly that. Completely voluntarily, although the chef guy in the twosome did still get charged with murder.

      Which in and of itself raises complex ethical questions. One hand, the guy literally asked for it. The other, should he be in society?

      Just a more elaborate (and scrumptious) version of the assisted-suicide debate, I s'pose. But yeah. I have no idea what the answer is.

      I'm curious about the odds of finding someone willing to kill-cut-devour you in a neighboring area. Luck? Or are there just that many?

      That was kinda my point, too. I think I'm leaning toward "that many." And now the others are all jealous...

      Maybe they have an equivalent of the incel forum, where they're moaning even now about how 20% of the chefs get to eat 80% of the victims?

          I really hope random individual posts in this discussion get retweeted out of context someday.

          If so, I want you to screenshot it and put it in the bio part of your book jacket. No context.

          Now it's down to a marketing question: Fight for attention in the vast, crowded mainstream, or focus on a small but underserved niche?

          I'm frightened that everything we've talked about since the very top of the thread seems to have turned out to be the same thing in the end.
