Talk show host Bill Mayer has spoken out in defense of Hollywood actor Armie Hammer, who has been accused of being a sex cannibal.
“I think we can talk about this in relation to where feminism is because, apparently, Armie Hammer has a predilection to tell his dates he wants to ‘eat’ them,” he said on Real Time with Bill Maher. “And who wouldn’t want to be eaten by Armie Hammer? Come on.”
He added that Armie had “ethical human cannibal fetishism” and blamed porn. “We’re in such a porn-centric society — people have been watching really hardcore porn for so long that ‘spank you’ doesn’t really cut it anymore,” he said.
He continued: “My point is that the women who are objecting to this now, who went out with Armie Hammer — willingly — and stayed in — willingly — and there wasn’t physical bad stuff happening, OK… we can all agree that’s intolerable.

“But if there wasn’t any physical coercion, why isn’t this just filed under, ‘That seemed like a good idea at the time to let Armie Hammer eat me, but it really wasn’t.’ It seems like we don’t have any ownership anymore, of our own choices.”
