Cannibalistic Groups

[Lady_Alizarin]

What are your thoughts on cannibalistic roleplay groups? What are your thoughts on those packs, prides, or clans thats purpose and story is based around eating animals of their own species?

To tell you the truth? Nah. I don't like it at all, and I'm not too excited with the fact these are gaining popularity.

Groups that just center their whole thing (be it religion or just hobby for the members of that group) on eating their own species just...well to put it simply....it creeps me out. I honestly don't see the joy in rping that sort of stuff. I call it being edgy tbh.

Three words:

It's Too Mainstream

Vespian doesn't like. Vespian is out. I'm going to be over there.

One word only... YIKES!

I understand that there might be some ppl out there that like roleplaying this way but I'm not one of them.

I'm not too keen on a group that is ONLY centered around cannibalism. I think it's interesting as more of a 'side thing', something that might be present in the culture of the characters and happen occasionally, but not just a group that goes around killing and eating people 24/7 for the lulz.

These are still around? I remember these were huge years ago. Not a huge fan, personally. I mean, people can roleplay what they want, especially since evil characters are so popular, but I feel as though cannibalism is a bit... much, in my opinion.

My thoughts, as well. ^^

I don't have a detestation of roleplays with cannibalism in and of itself, but I've seen some pretty nasty and gruesome things that can come out of those types of roleplays, which can be off-putting. A roleplay centered around self-destruction in a grotesque and morbid way can be unsettling for many, and it's understandable to want to avoid that kind of material when deciding upon a group to roleplay with. The level of explicitness and description would determine how far away I'd walk from it. It's one thing to roleplay, "kills packmate and eats them" and another to devote passages of gory description in attempt to make it sound as disturbing and uninviting as possible-- both could be considered "cannibalistic," but there's a difference. As long as everyone's getting along well with it and everyone is comfortable with it, though, the boats float where they may.

I actually disagree with a lot of people here, haha. I only have a couple characters who are cannibals, with the main reason behind their dietary habits being that someone who likes like you is easy prey. They aren't, however, in any cannibalistic groups with the main reason being that i feel like it'd water down their character. so, i enjoy a cannibal here or there, but the groups that go running about nonstop in search of prey tends to get old.

I'm unsure how this became a fad here however here's my thoughts on these guys. First of all I have a few characters that are a little bloodthirsty and some that enjoy the suffering of others(Yay schadenfreude!) but not like 'devour your own species' kinda deal. These groups were probably started by minors trying to jump on a bandwagon, and boy haven't we all jumped on one.

I never crossed paths with any of these groups or even a character who happens to be cannibalistic besides a few Creepypastas, and I do not wish to join such groups. I appreciate if they keep their visceral roleplay in private chat at all times because compared to how violent my roleplay can get, theirs may cross the line however. So when in doubt, roleplay in private, or use a different platform to roleplay with another person.

I'm gonna make this short and simple:
Groups that revolve around the whole idea/concept of cannibalism is a huge no-go for me and although I have never encountered these type of people, I frankly hope I don't.
When it comes to roleplaying violence, there's a line and they are far in on other side.
