Lol, "Please show respect for these dead bodies that we turned into arts and craft projects and glued to the ceiling by not taking photos of what we did to them"

I mean a tomb is a tomb regardless if you turn grandma into a chandelier

Yeah, It's just kinda weird to be told to be respectful towards the dead by the guy who's chopping grandmas corpse up, attaching her skull to her pelvis and sticking candles in her eye sockets.

People show respect to the dead in different ways and cultures and their boundaries should be honored.

Well, I wanna demonstrate my respect for the dead by documenting all the cool-ass shit they got turned into.

Yeah reduce this beautiful and haunting memorial to death as “arts and crafts.” Some people do not get art or other cultures

One day my thrifty upcycled water bottle fleshlight will be considered centuries old spiritual practice :)

I don't know what to tell you about what the cultural-lensed perceptions of fleshlights will be by our great grandkids, but what I can say with absolute certainty is that if you think your opinion on something of this matter is more developed and mature than others, you aren't as far along the path of enlightenment as you think you are.

No one cares dude, the hypocrisy to say no photos when creating this thing is laughable.

You’re right, lots of boring, small minded midwesterners here… death is a universally shared concept, is it really so strange to think that people of different cultures and time periods have different ways of respecting it?
