Seriously, it makes no sense! Pokemon have LITERALLY been established to be eaten ever since Generation 1, and Pokemon are still eaten in-universe to this very day. New food-themed Pokemon are made ALL THE TIME, and the eating hasn't stopped.

Know what the worst part is?

YOU CAN'T EVEN QUESTION THEM!

They get all angry and pissed off, and they refuse to answer the question. "People will find a way to ruin it, and you don't need to know how!" they say, as if literally ANY conversation can't be ruined.

Pokemon is a dark franchise that is LITERALLY about animal abuse and child gambling, and it's full of innapropriate themes. Despite popular belief, Pokemon is NOT an innocent franchise at all!

Why can't we talk about eating Pokemon if it CANONICALLY HAPPENS all the time?! Why the fuck can't we even question them?!

No I'm talking about you saying that it should be not taboo to eat what you fuck.

Normal people very much differentiate between what they eat and what they fuck.

    It should not be as taboo for GameFreak to talk about it. Not the actual act of eating an animal that may or may not be sapient.

    "Talk about" are two very important words that were missing from your original comment. Like the difference a comma makes between "Let's eat grandpa" and "Let's eat, Grandpa".

    You could have used the context from the rest of the conversation and the post topic to understand what I meant.

    You directly said, and I quote

    Eating them shouldn't be so taboo when considering that little tidbit.

    Sorry that I take your words as what they mean literally instead of trying to make them mean what I think they should mean. At that point I can just talk to the voices in my head instead., no need for a social platform then.

    And it was meant more with a smiley afterwards then a serious accusation.
