YSE Senate discussion on the issue has been both lively and spirited, with words like 'dignity' and 'propriety' used to mask over the fundamental urgency of the situation.
As the Yamatai Star Empire faces crippling food shortages in the aftermath of the attack on their homeworld by the NMX, the senate continues to push on dietary restrictions on their citizens. After outlawing the consumption of ocean-dwelling cetaceans such as whales and dolphins, the latest meal on the figurative chopping block is a meal of last resort: the captured rations of NMX soldiers. Apparently containing meats collected from captured YSE Neko, the meals have been freely distributed throughout the NMX, often in appetizing mockeries of traditional Kenewesian meals.
The current discussion teeters heavily around the issue of non-consensual eating, which sounds kind of sexy, actually.
My wife does this great thing with handcuffs and a blindfold. Boils my blood in all the right ways.
Unfortunately, there's also the worry that some more desperate citizens might resort to murder in order to provide cannibal cuisine to their starving families. According to the Nepleslian Survivalist Association, this is a concern not entirely invalidated by the widespread dispersal of weapons-grade Neko throughout a society that has not entirely upgraded from the low-power Yamataian and Geshrin bodies and prefers oversized cutlery to actual guns. Groups such as the infamous Geshrin Liberation Front have begun widescale stockpiling of weapons donated from Nepleslia and other places with lax gun ownership in addition to normal relief packages. In the words of Harry Filthman, President of the Nepleslian Human Rights Association, the situation is 'probably going to be fixed [...] by putting more firearms into an already chaotic situation'.
[This link] will connect readers to various charities they may send second hand (or new) firearms to supply threatened Yamataian citizens with.
Not everyone living in the supposed center of the universe is worried about the hungry turning to murder. Some people are considered that the nature of the law is too vague, and that conformist and Nekovalkyrja-dominated Yamataian society will apply censure over the consumption of the dead unevenly (favoring Neko and members of the military), or punish without account for ignorance. People who already place their dignity on the line in order to survive may have to face unnecessary suffering as they are passed through public courts and possibly incarcerated for breaking these new laws.
Strange Meat
Nepleslians polled on the issue demonstrated clear outrage, with a clear 73% of 1000 Nepleslians polled claiming they would 'eat the shit out of anything if it meant living', and 62% saying they 'would kill any asshole who tried to bite my Vanderhuge off, especially if it had blue hair and cat ears'.
Ellsworth Fargo, President of the Nepleslian Survivalist Association, later gave an interview on the topic, claiming: "It's bad enough they restrict the means of survival, but they also make no attempt to address the differing circumstances people face after the battle. There's no justice in such laws."
"The stooges on the Imperial throne don't care about the average person's plight, and would rather watch people starve and resurrect half-dumb braintapes than let people see just how badly they screwed up. Weren't the Mishhu something Yamatai made in the first place?"
