A German cannibal who found a voluntary victim.

The fascinating thing about this case was that cannibalism in itself it not a crime in German law. So it came down to proving it was manslaughter and not assisted dying.

Extra creepy because the article mentions that he thinks there are 800 other people in Germany who are also cannibals.

I also wasn’t aware that he posted the ad for his victim on a “cannibalism enthusiast” message board.

The swedish death metal supergroup Bloodbath wrote a song inspired by it called Eaten. One of the most awesome death metal songs of all time.

I think also “Mein Teil” by Rammstein was/is inspired by this incident.

This makes me think of all the idiots thinking Sweden has the most rapes in the world. Sweden has the most reported rapes in the world because Sweden has the broadest definition of rape in the world. Meanwhile, North Korea has zero reported rapes. People used this statistic to show Sweden had the most actual rapes in the world. Anyone who believes that is stupid but even Trump parroted this shit.
To be fair, I can’t think of many legal ways to aquire human flesh in the first place. And I’ve thought about that a lot
