The Cannibal Cafe

The Cannibal Cafe was an online forum where individuals interested in consensual, fictional discussions about cannibalism connected. It operated from the early 2000s until it was shut down after a criminal investigation into its users’ activities, some of whom were involved in illegal and harmful actions. The site’s existence highlighted the complex difference between fantasy and real-world behavior but also raised concerns about safety and legality. It serves as an example of how niche online communities can sometimes intersect with serious legal and ethical issues when activities cross into non-consensual or criminal acts.
