Llamas have ever only been cannibals, and can only ever be shown as cannibals.

Should we ever point out all the llamas that are not cannibals, or how every portrayal of llamas are as cannibals, and how society's view of llamas is harmed by the ubiquitous portrayal of them as cannibals, when in fact, they are omnivores and in fact, like to eat hummus, vegetables, and all sorts of things, we are shouted down as asking for special treatment.

More and more, DU is showing itself as a site where 'cannibalism' is considered sacred, and to want to talk about the repercussions on llamas in society when pretty much every llama in entertainment is a cannibal is to be a prude, cannibal negative, llamaist! It will engender at least 15 threads, all about how llamas have a right to be cannibals, and to want to discuss it critically it is censorship.

(replace llama with women, and cannibalism with sex/porn, and you have DU in a nut shell, especially lately with the tons of 50 shades threads. Ugh!)
