I think when it comes to consent, we usually do assume that someone’s not okay with something (or err on the side of caution that they might not be) rather than assume it’s okay to do something to a person unless they’ve explicitly requested that it not happen. It works the other way round, where we only do something to them if they’ve said it’s okay. Of course there are exceptions to this, such as helping someone when they can’t help themselves if it’s extremely critical or if it doesn’t violate them at all (like putting a warm garment over someone who’s fallen asleep in the cold), or what might be argued as necessary to do for a child’s development so that they can live a functional/healthy life. And then there are cases where it’d be ideal if we could not do anything, but the situation forces us to choose an option of what to do, such as dealing with someone’s dead body. In those cases I think the safest thing to do would be to choose one of the most common methods of interment, since 1. The person was likely aware (though not necessarily) of the main methods of disposing of someone’s body that are usually practiced by humans when someone dies, and probably had the opportunity during their life to object to them and request something different if they didn’t like it. 2. Those methods are generally regarded as the most respectful options available, and so statistically someone would be likely to also agree with that sentiment. 3. They’re also arguably some of the least invasive/violent/brutal ways of dealing with someone’s body, though of course none of them are completely nice since you’re disposing of a dead body after all.

Yes, I think so. Lay it to rest and stop f***ing with it, finally.

Yeah but it’s less brutal, violent and visceral than vultures tearing your body apart and leaving a skeleton. I agree cremation seems nicer actually but the fact remains that burying and cremation are the 2 most common ways of disposing a body, which the person (usually) had an opportunity to object to in their life if they preferred a different option, and generally seen as the most respectful & least invasive. So it can’t be perfect but not violating/desecrating/defiling or exploiting/using a body for something or disposing of it in an unconventional and gnarly way seems like a reasonable thing to do.

And keeping someone’s head preserved and distorted and using it for display purposes for all time seems way more disrespectful and exploitative of their bodily autonomy than really any form of just disposing of the body/laying it to rest normally.

Honestly wondering why people do this (why people immediately assume you must be part of any group you’re defending). And I didn’t think I answered that, but maybe I did and I missed it

Just want to add that I think it’s unfortunate that people dismiss anxiety issues by saying “everyone has that”. While it’s true most people might experience some anxiety, I don’t think everyone has the same level of anxiety, and not everyone has an extremely debilitating type of anxiety to where it warrants an understanding that they might struggle more with some things and deserve some leeway or simply understanding and empathy.

Yes, there are. But there also some clinics that have chiropractors in training who aren’t as qualified to do chiropractic as experienced chiropractors. I know a place where they use chiropractors who are still in training and developing experience, and lots of people say to avoid it and go to more professional chiropractors.

Glad they worked for you. One thing I would add: Maybe make sure they’re actually skilled/qualified and not a chiropractor-in-training using you as a test dummy.

They have a twisted relationship with ducks

Thanks. Recognised as a medical issue but not as a disability, is what I meant. Certain medical issues aren’t considered disabilities as far as I know, even though they can affect a person’s ability to do things. Or are you saying that all medical conditions are disabilities? Apologies if I was mistaken

Also I’m just wondering, isn’t it possible the DSM could be behind in recognising certain conditions? It may be widely recognised, but just not necessarily by the DSM. I get that you might not call it a disability then but perhaps still a health issue? I’m not sure

I can get behind this. I feel like I can’t imagine a gangster saying it though, which is sort of a requirement for a replacement for mf’er

Lol the downvotes here! Some people in the comments really didn’t like this.

Problematic with how it views animals. Trading homophobia for speciesism there. :/

Buttfucking could have homophobic interpretations when used as an insult potentially, similar to “butthurt”

Swearing is fine what the fuck (just demonstrating). It’s more about trying to avoid offending demographics of individuals or upholding oppression/oppressive views.
