This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

I'm amazed how in fantasy settings with houndreds of humanized species, all being like horse, oxes, cows, pigs, parrots and what not... but acts like humans and have similar social status as humans.. still, meat is being pushed as the core diet in these worlds. It's so importantt to push this narrative that not even fantasy worlds are safe, even though it just gets weird (and prob really dark) with how that world otherwise works.

The natural tension between herbavoires and carnavoires is a major plot point of Beastars. It's primarily used as a metaphor for the tension between age cohorts and genders, but vegans and anprims ahem eat it up, regardless.
Similarly, Attack On Titan is all about humans turning into giant cannibal monsters, then justifying it to themselves.
Also, a very popular trope in Vampire / Werewolf / Zombie settings. "How does cannibalism become socially appropriate?" has become a popular subject of modern fiction, particularly in the horror genre.
Yea there's are a few shows playing on the subject, but I promise you this is the case in the wast majority of fable indulgent isekais.
Just like Capitalism Realism, authors can't even imagine societies with other economic system than capitalism.
I know they are exceptions of that. If you like to mention your favorite one please do it.
.... Buddy, you do realize that meat-eating is sort of a core concept for most things on earth, right?
About 63% of species are carnivores, only 32% of species are herbivores. It's literally just a small subsect of humans that think eating meat is weird or some kind of 'narrative.'
fantasy setting has magic and flying creatures
still using nuclear energy as a main energy source
Charcoaled!
There's a reason we don't have flying cars yet, and it's not because we don't have the technology.
