      leftist rationales around laws forbidding bestiality […] are so strained

      what-the-hell

      The left rationale around outlawing bestiality isn’t strained at all. Animals can’t give informed consent. If that’s not self-evidently enough for you, then I don’t know what to say.

        The vegan leftist rationale outlawing bestiality isnt strained. The non-vegan leftist rationale that the animal’s consent matters when it comes to sex with a human but not when it is forcibly impregnated or killed by a human is strained.

      I know, that’s why it’s chud-brained. And I think that’s why liberal or leftist rationales around laws forbidding bestiality and incest are so strained, no one wants to lend credence to a “it should be illegal based on my personal feelings about it” mindset. But ultimately nothing is objective, all law have a root in morality and all morality ultimately has a subjective basis. And this is one area I’m just gonna have to skip the line and say it’s bad because I feel that it’s bad very strongly.
