At a restaurant and "The bestiality doesn't bother me but is nothing sacred
anymore?" just drifted over from the next table and I really want to know
what *does* bother her.

I was out at lunch with a large group of fan writers once, all at one table, and we were getting loud. At one point, the topic turned to "what kinks have you written?" Blood play, necrophilia.... When one of us asked "Bestiality?" someone at another table raised a hand. We lowered our voices after that.

Hahaha! XD

Whoops!

I just want to know where you're going out to eat at, LOL.

[telophase]

It was just a local burger joint, I swear!

I don't know what bothers her, but why does bestiality bother you? It just doesn't seem like a big deal given that most people are not vegetarians.

Assuming you are not trolling and instead don't fully understand what I posted above, the statement above does not mention my opinion.

No, I am not trolling. The statement does not mention your opinion, but seems to imply it. For instance, I am not bothered by the fact that some people wear blue jeans. If I overheard someone else say "I am not bothered by blue jeans" my first reaction would not be "well, what *does* bother them?". I mean - could be anything: dogs, yellow jeans, food waste... It sounds like you did not intend the implication and I misunderstood you - my apologies.

Bestiality means sex with non-sapient animals. Not meat eating.

If you're not bothered by sex with animals, then your opinions on sex are far outside the norm :)

Yes, it does mean that. D'uh.
Since I am not bothered by killing and eating animals it follows that I wouldn't be bothered by non-consensual sex with animals. It amazes me that people can be bothered by the latter, but not the former. It amazes me even more that some people are bothered by something about sex with animals that does not seem to be the issue of consent and I still haven't figured out what that could be.

There's a difference between a clean kill to utilize an animal for sustenance and torturing a creature that is incapable of giving consent, and if you can't see that, I can't help you.

This conversation is over in my journal. Do feel free to continue it elsewhere.

Just a drive-by comment, but I'm always interested in new ways to try to make metaquotes a bit more active. Mind if I crosspost this there?

[telophase]

Given the conversation above, I'd rather not have the possibility of even more being pulled over into my journal, so thanks, but not this particular one.

[conuly]

Fair.
