    It’s Rimworld, so making hats out of guests is kind of mandatory.

          I’m not sure what the green is vs the red. I would assume African cultures don’t support it mostly because it seems unlikely that they developed the same arbitrary (religious) surgery. That would however imply that Europe is a lot more supportive of circumcision than I would have expected. Either way I’m surprised.

            Red is 90–100% circumcised. Green is 0–9%.

            What do you think are the major religions in the continent of Africa? Traditional religions take up less than 10% of religious belief. Yes, less than 10% for all of them combined

              That’s fair. I forgot that we colonized them a little bit less than respectfully.

    Well in all seriousness, humans can consent and cows can’t (or if they can, they have no unambiguous way to communicate this consent to humans), so human leather is more ethical.

      And when it’s the only way to keep their family from starving, for example, people will consent in droves, securing supply.

    Sourcing leather from humans is always morally correct! You will get 50% off for bringing your whole family in!

    Ask yourself what a cow ever did to you and compare the two

    Depends on the cow and the human.

    If a cow is a dick and harming other cows, moral.

    If the human lives a modest life and pursues charitable acts to make themself happy, immoral.

      I feel like if a child with a similar level of cognition as the cow harms other children, most people will say they have no moral agency yet, and will still see harvesting their leather as immoral.

      There are two ways to resolve that inconsistency…

    I mean that’s a screenshot from Rimworld so ethical leather harvesting is a small thing compared to prisoner organ harvesting (Source I play too much Rimworld)

      You can do both at once >:) Step 1: Obtain prisoners Step 2: Harvest all organs that they can survive without, followed by the second lung or the hat Step 3: Chop up into snack size portions and enjoy your new hat materials.
