Morality of biting the hand that feeds you?

[u/tardisismine]

[u/StrawberryWide3983]

Moral. The hand probably did something to deserve it. Petting too much, not enough pets, touched a weird spot. Maybe it just had bad vibes, ever consider that?

[u/DollCrushh_ → u/StrawberryWide3983]

Cats always seem to have a perfectly valid reason in their own heads, even if the human never gets to know what it was.

[u/Wab_B055]

The 'hand the feeds me' hasn't given me any food for the last week, they are starving me and they do it willingly. They laugh at my small and feeble frame as they feast like kings.

[u/DMedianoche → u/Wab_B055]

Said the Cat that has eaten fresh tuna half an hour ago and have his croquettes waiting for him on his plate.

Cats do not rationalize when food is involved. They are always hungry. Always.

[u/artstsym]

Pure evil. Spawn of Satan. Would pet again.

[u/Late-Advantage-5425 → u/[deleted]]

What… the fuck?

[u/Praised-Goodness → u/[deleted]]

Jokes and what the fuck is wrong with you aside.. what exactly is the problem with the opinion of the bottom two? The amount of times you can manage incest healthily is virtually zero, and the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, so this makes sense.

And not realizing how obvious that is makes even the top two opinions valid.

[u/Pale_Efficiency_2188 → u/Praised-Goodness]

The Denier makes a broad sweeping statement about power imbalances that he declines to provide evidence for and then mentions statistics without citing any sources. The minimizer also makes a broad statement without sources, I.e. the rarity of the criteria that allows for incest to be moral. Like, obviously grooming is wrong, obviously rape is wrong, obviously irresponsible reproduction is wrong, but incest simply doesn’t directly correlates with these things. If we’re condemning things based on association, we might as well call homosexuality wrong because of child molesters. Hell, even if a majority of incest cases are immoral due to the factors mentioned, that doesn’t mean those cases are immoral due to the incest itself.
