Replying to @RichardHanania

I’m against legalizing bestiality because the animal consent problem hasn’t been solved, but probably actually will be quite soon thanks to Al (at least for the higher animals with complex languages). So why not wait a few more years. I don’t see disgust as a good reason. It was an evolutionary adaptation of the agricultural era against the spread of zoonotic illnesses, but technology will soon make that entirely irrelevant as well.

    The point is, how do we know that “animals can give consent”? “If you have sex with me, I won’t kill and eat you” is like the epitome of power imbalance.

      So let the Vegans fuck them, I don’t care about rationalising why people should fuck animals.

      My issue is with your fallacy of suggesting seeking consent leads to ignoring consent elsewhere.
