This is more like a comic shitpost. Is there a community for that?

I understand the edgy humor and I would've found this hilarious... In 7th grade

Just because you don't like it, that doesn't mean other adults don't or that the humor is immature.
Plenty of adults go to see stand-up comedians who make morbid jokes.

Anthony Jeselnik - The Concept of Gallows Humor

David Spade - JonBenet Ramsey joke

Sam Kinison - Necrophilia joke

Black comedy, also known as black humor, bleak comedy, dark comedy, dark humor, gallows humor or morbid humor, is a style of comedy that makes light of subject matter that is generally considered taboo, particularly subjects that are normally considered serious or painful to discuss. Writers and comedians often use it as a tool for exploring vulgar issues by provoking discomfort, serious thought, and amusement for their audience.

When you just meet someone you want to eat up. Sex jokes with a porky twist :-)

A joke combining rape culture and cannibalism, fun.

Not technically cannibalism, but I don't know the word for eating sapient species that are not your own.

I think that would be called murder.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 9 hours ago

No, murder is completely unrelated to cannibalism. You can eat people who haven't been murdered, and you can murder people without eating them.

Here we have an anthropomorphized pig, or a woman represented as a humanoid pig, getting kidnapped and eaten. If this woman or whatever is able to be part of human society as pictured, eating her fits the moral meaning of cannibalism.

The comic is just using the pig visual to "joke" about rape, but if you think about it a few seconds the joke is not much better, especially with the underlying tones of showing women as victims, the only difference between a human woman and a pig woman being that one is good for rape, the other as food.

I personally can't even understand how this can be funny.

I think because the expected outcome is that he’s taking her home to rape her, but instead he’s turned her into bacon?

It’s comedic because of the subversion of expectation. Not because the subject matter is in any way funny (it isn’t).

All those people who saw it, felt concerned, and still did nothing is absolutely horrifying and 100% true

Most people just pay others to do this, so they can eat bacon.
