[QUOTE="Steampunkette, post: 8445130, member: 6796468"] You and also most Vegans, in fact! Could take root! In truth, it takes two people in a discussion to agree on a definition for a word in the context of that discussion. But you don't wanna, and I get that. Still how I'll use it, and when asked why I will explain why. Book of Vile Darkness page 10 under Fetishes and Addictions. Just to cite my reference point! Though I would also like to point out that "Reverse Gravity" misuses both the words "Reverse" and "Gravity" since it doesn't actually reverse gravity, but just makes things float within a specific area (Cylinder). This is because the words used in the game describe specific things in the game, and isn't exactly representative of real world use. Which is why expanding cannibalism to the consumption of sapient creatures makes perfect sense, regardless of a specific real world definition. Though uh... Webster's is kinda... wild. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/cannibalism[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/cannibalizing[/URL] See, Cannibalism can refer to Cannibalizing so it's Cannibalism to take an important part from one machine and put it into another machine, cannibalizing the first one. And since humans are incredibly complex -biological- machines: Heart Transplants are cannibalism, by the dictionary definition. Maybe don't get hung up on it... yeah? [/QUOTE]
