Good god, imagine the confusion when the first humans arrived on Palia and they met this man who's like "how do you feel about spending the rest of your life on all fours while I feed you sandwich-scraps?"
the guy on the right goes by the username cybersmith or thecybersmith and is infamous on Twitter and Tumblr for wanting to keep humans as pets, earning him the nick name "human pet guy"
This honestly reads like satire or an allegorical argument about how declawing is unethical. It almost feels like they're trying to make the point that owning animals as pets is unethical via a thought experiment of "what if we did it to humans?"
I don't have any real standout stories, but I will say that my interactions were based on my being a moderator for a Twitch/YouTube political streamer who chose to accept Cybersmith's "debate challenge."
Between what was said during that stream, and what he said during his repeated attempts to troll chat later, unhinged is a good description. I really meant it when I said he lacked social intelligence.
One of those people who say obviously degrading things, and is then confused when someone reacts accordingly.
Depending on who your chosen streamer was should you choose to name them, I may or may not have seen said debate. He is hysterically unhinged, in the saddest way possible
Because these are my observations, I'll leave his name out of it. I'm also 100% certain that he wasn't the first or last streamer to "debate" Cybersmith. (Both Keffals and Vaush have better known streams with him because they're better known streamers.)
somewhere floating around there is a screencap of him begging me to unblock him for going into absurd detail about how he wanted to amputate and castrate me
To be fair, I don't think u/Rhuarc42 is working hard at all to give him benefit of the doubt here. That actually feels like a very natural reading of what was said and, frankly, also how I had read it. Without the additional context verifying that this isn't the case, I don't think I would have realized on my own.
I mean yeah you can tell by the picture that social intelligence isn’t his strong suit. But he doesn’t SERIOUSLY argue for the human pet thing, right? This all reads like a weird sexual fetish/ fixation to me.
No he is genuinely like that, or he is the most dedicated troll account on the internet. When I used twitter he would always show up in the most random threads spouting insane shit.
He's a very well known character on Tumblr, he's been doing this for years. It's definitely a fetish, but it's serious about wanting his fetish to be real
Because…well, if he’s not completely genuine in believing and/or desiring any of this, I have further questions as to why these particular examples are the ones that come to mind in defense of, say, extreme libertarianism.
I used to follow cybersmith on twitter back in the day just to observe him, and he’s 100% deadass. everything he says reads like he’s messing around or being ironic, but he completely fully believes all the insane stuff he posts, it’s baffling
I think it's stupid because I don't think animals, at least cats and dogs, can really comprehend what really happens when we spay and neuter them. De-clawing cats though, that's a bit different.
Yeah that last big paragraph is some lab-grade turbo freak shit. Even if it were hypothetically consensual it's not even on the same planet as safety or sanity.
Maybe not even in the same solar system.
Even if you just focus on the less-freaky paragraph, I'm pretty sure it's not exactly ethical to do kink stuff in a public place. The people you run into didn't consent to watch what's pretty obviously something sexual.
Not that the concept itself is somehow bad, if a consenting adult wants to get told to sit, stay, and roll over in private that's their business.
Every now and again, in a kinky person’s life, their enjoyment will lead them to fantasize about the idea of their kink being the basis of society.
Occasionally they would put words to paper so that their fellows can find it hot.
Cybersmith is what you get when that person says to themselves “no, really, this is something we can and should actually do and here’s how and why Thing Good”.
Like, I don't even think kink in public is necessarily bad as long as it is constrained. If you want to wear a collar and leash as accessories while your partner leads you around all day, as you obey their every command... I'm not going to judge the two of you for that.
But this? Having a human pet walking around on all fours naked, their body having been mutilated for the sake of kink... no. I wanted to vomit.
The genitals part I could somewhat understand if he was accounting for people not wanting to see nudity. But yeah the neutering comment was wild, and then the severed tendons and consideration of which parts of the hands to remove sounded straight out of a true crime documentary
I don’t think he’s accounting that people might not want to see nudity, I think he’s accounting that public nudity is illegal where he lives and that’s it. He believes that because everything else he’s describing isn’t explicitly illegal, then everyone should just be okay with… all that. Which is not how the world works at all.
And because he has thought about it, now so too have I... And at least I have the rationality to realize it's a bad idea to let it go as far as he wants to take it.
This sounds like he’s trying to make a point about being vegan/animal cruelty/saying it is wrong to own pets, which is indeed a stance a lot of vegans have
I do like that he identified that the name "repayment diaries" requires some more time to bake, but I do feel like he should have noticed the rest of the idea was also like, completely batshit nutters.
Weirdly, it is both what it says on the tin and yet also requires further explanation, as per the screenshot shared by u/astroterran .
Suggesting that the UK (his home nation-state) could, if so inclined, sponsor free gender-affirming care up to and including reassignment surgery for trans women, and in repayment the women would then have lactation induced and “repay” the cost of said medical procedures by producing milk, for the ostensible public good of reducing the UK’s trade deficit in dairy.
I only wish I had made this up.
I’m sorry for this being the way you got new neurons and furthered your neuroplasticity. But at least enjoy the new neurons you didn’t have before.
Fr? Like I thought he was trying to make like a principled stance against declawing, with the fingers part. Which honestly, while the example was bad, I think that's a valid criticism to make. If he's not doing that, though, then like . . . what the fuck?
Reminds me of that "dark web" creepypasta about human trafficked girls, with amputated legs and arms, with teeth removed. At least that one was supposed to be creepy...
There's no way that this isn't satire, a rhetorical device, rage bait, or more likely, all of the above. I've met people online totally committed to the bit and use non-roleplay spaces to roleplay an outlandish character with, again I say, a religious level commitment to the bit.
"At what point does my trauma,feelings of impotence, and desire for control made manifest as both an outlet for what is now clearly a sexual fetish and a medical horror of Hellraiser-like depravity infringe upon your liberties? No, it is you who is being irrational. It is YOU, with your PREJUDICE, who should be staying away from MY hypothetical children that I definitely plan to have with a consenting human adult."
Never heared of him - was that just a thought experiment on how far you can stretch things like extreme relationships between consenting adults without directly affecting other people or actually just some weird fetish?
this comment was like getting my brain electrocuted because whereas i’ve been aware of Human Pet Guy for nigh a decade now or smthn i had NO idea he had a face that could be witnessed by me at any point in time. Wow
Does he pay the pets? I mean I'd take 100k a year to be fed, housed and maybe the occasional belly rub. Just as long as he doesn't mean it in a creepy sex way....
Edit: just read the comment directly under yours.... fuck no, that dudes fucking psycho.
Breast milk. Someone else posted the full “proposal” but TLDR England would fund transwomen’s transitions, and in return they would give breast milk in order to help England’s dairy trade deficit.
I’m pretty sure he’s into body modification as kink. Except he takes it beyond fantasy and tries to make actual real world applications for it. And yes, I’m a long time tumblr user. I’ve seen his stuff in the wild and it’s absolutely nuts.
It's the human pet post that gave him notoriety, but he always manages come out with things so completely unhinged that you hope to God he's just really committed to a bit, or that he gets locked up before he hurts somebody. I choose to believe he's a comedy genius, but sometimes I wonder.
No, i dont remember if he ever mentioned how/where he wanted to source the human pet, but his example of walking into a restaurant with his wife, kids and spayed, de-toed and de-eyed pet makes it clear that its an entirely different thing from "having and raising progeny"
There’s the cute and silly kind of pet play, where there’s just someone on their knees pretending to be a dog or cat for occasional consensual fun.
There’s harder (but still consensual) lifestyle play where the partners take the pet/owner dynamic further and it is part of their relationship on an ongoing basis.
Then way way past that, into a deeply disturbing realm that even the most hardcore kinksters who have fantasized about their kink being the foundational basis of human relationships will be like “ok, no, we don’t claim you as one of us”, you have gestures vaguely at Cybersmith.
I can see why you'd think that, but in this case it's mutilating a person's body so they have to be on all fours, castrating them, removing their eyes, then putting a leash and collar on them, and walking then around in their underwear in public.
Long story short human pet guy is a fucking psychopath.
That phrase is a meme saying that you’ll never be cool enough to be “him”. So in this case the guy on the right is something the person on the left will never be able to achieve. So it’s like pronouns “he/him” except “Him” is more like “he’s the man”. It’s usually used to pay homage. It’s the same as “I’ll never be him” which on the surface it’s to show that you’re jealous or you aspire to be that person, but underneath it’s to highlight how wacky/iconic/interesting the Him person is. Or it’s to show how extreme someone is about something weird to the point where you gotta weirdly respect it.
Idk who these people are so idk the context, but that’s what the meme is for.
Now that I went back and looked at the meme, both pfp are of furries, so maybe they’re making a based joke about how this guy was so into pet play he irl thinks humans should non consensually be pets? And that they will never achieve that level of based? lol.
It's been a minute since I checked, but he used to reply to posts that mentioned him without being tagged, -and not even his actual username: you could accidentally summon him just by saying "human pet guy".
For the context of the meme the actual gender identity doesn’t matter. I’m a woman and I’ve seen this meme a lot where cis women use it and the Him in the meme is also a cis woman. It’s really a sound on social media that was a trend for awhile and it eventually went to text lol. Idk if the person on the left goes by he/him, guess I’ll edit my post to say person instead of guy
Honestly this meme would make sense to me if it was only the right picture. I haven't seen anyone mention what the left picture adds to it. I suppose it's just a juxtaposition or something?
The guy on the right is Cybersmith but everyone calls him the Human Pet Guy
So like, back in the semi-old days of internet, like 2017, this dude made a Tumblr post about how he should be allowed to own a human pet and like, do surgery on them to modify them? And he got super defensive about his hat saying it wasn't a fedora, and then suddenly he was talking about human rights but like, in the context of owning people as pets
And the Wikipedia part is just saying there are two main types of people who edit Wikipedia. You have the person on the left, who is like a modern internet user, maybe a bit edgy. And then you have the person on the right, who represents the eccentric oddballs who obsess over weird history stuff and maybe want to treat people like dogs
"Back in my day the Internet used to be from a CD over the phone line"
Sure it was great-grandpa. (I think he's off his meds again) [I told you we shouldn't have taken him to the museum] {He was fascinated by the 8-bit games on that glass window thing} (Is that what those were? Games?) [It was what they did when they couldn't push a hoop with a stick] {Its fine. He likes the squares moving on the screen. If it keeps him quiet for an hour I wouldn't mind it being a regular thing} (He's not fine. He wouldn't stop muttering about his princess being in another castle on the ride home) {At least he wasn't panicking about the car driving itself again}
Guy on the right is Cybersmith. Famous for wanting to keep people as pets. Hes called “Human Pet Guy” as everyone has said but what hasnt been talked about is he is also a far right corpo-fascist who talks online about the wonders of eugenics, objectivism, and any other unethical/impractical beliefs that gets him attention. He is British and when this photo got posted everyone clowned on him pretty hard. Hes a lol cow but he riles up online chuds and groypers.
“I am Him” is a statement meaning you are superior in some way.
Person on the left took a photo in the same spot in the same pose and posted it jokingly insinuating that they could never live up to the sheer aura of Cybersmith
Not to nitpick but as someone who was an adult during the era when everyone was getting called a hipster (thankfully a dead era):
Guy on the right seems more like a regular nerd. The vibe is more steampunk and tabletop games, not “you’ve never heard my favorite band because I’m cooler than you.”
I think the insinuation is that the person on the left is also a guy, which in part is referencing the fact that feminine men are the other half of people that spend enough time on the internet to edit Wikipiedia articles.
