NSFW/Image Macro: Autocannibalism

This picture was posted for Autocannibalism and got removed by someone without evident discussion because it was "disturbing". So.. agree? Disagree? Got any better suggestions?

It's really not that bad.

Disturbing but...not NSFW. Might want word of Eddie on this one though.

Agreed.

I kind of like that picture, but if we want something else: [1]◊

I prefer that image.

A lot.

No objections to a different image, but that one is more an example of Ouroboros rather than Autocannibalism.

The Ourobouros is a very heavily symbolic image that would not fit at all on this page.

Fun fact: "anthropophagous" means "human-eating" (anthropo- = human, -phage = eater).

I don't like the snake image at all. That symbol is supposed to convey rebirth, serenity, the circle of life, all those positive emotions. At least that's what I get from it. But the trope should invoke disgust and shock from the audience, not peace.

Didn't realize we already had an Ouroboros trope.

Clock is set.

How about on of those old cartoons. I remember on one of them <I think it was Tom and Jerry> that a character put there hand <or tail> in between two pieces of bread and bite it, that could be used.

Even better this one. [1]◊

Way too small. I can barely tell the guy's hand is in his own sandwich. Just put the original back up.

I can try to find a bigger version.

It wouldn't hurt.

Please do. I'm not a fan of the original; it works as an image and is probably better than nothing, but *squick*

Found a bigger copy of that image.◊ It seems like it might count as a single panel cartoon, though.

Yes, it would, and that means we either have to get permission or find something else.

Darn, yea we would have to get rights.

Well that won't work.

Permission is not an insurmountable wall. Just ask. Often don't get it though.

In my limited experience, people don't generally refuse permission, but some just don't respond, so we aren't able to use the image. In this case, I'm having a hard time figuring out how to contact the artist, except maybe in the Comments section of this page, but I don't know if that'd be checked.

Clock's up; locking for inactivity/lack of consensus. No further action is to be taken based on this thread.

For the record, there's no consensus in this thread that the pic is too NSFW to keep removed, and since it was pulled without discussion, I'm putting it back up.
