    That’s why you go with Krampus, Krampus cares about consensual non-consent

    “Are we the baddies?” Ask the people who also forbid any media coverage of their actions.

      “Muahahahaha!”…

      Sorry, a deep resonant haunting laugh is how I cope when faced with a difficult moral conundrum.

    What the fuck, bruises and not being able to sit for a few days. That’s way worse than what I envisioned from the beginning of the article.

    Disturbingly, it was because the practice was considered unfair to the cows.

    That article was even weirder and creepier than I expected. By a lot.

    Also some interesting bits from a different Austrian tradition:

    The Krampuses are now encouraged to only symbolically brush festival-goers, and not actually whip them.

    A centuries-old tradition in Germany’s Borkum where young men hit women on the buttocks with a cow horn using cow horn during the Klaasohm festival will be discontinued.

    With a cow horn using a cow horn? Sounds like a difficult thing to do, holding a cow horn with another cow horn. I’d have assumed the coefficient of friction would be too low.

      As soon as individual victims dare to report individual perpetrators to the police. In this tiny, tight-knit island community. Where everyone knows everyone.

          Because they too are members of that community, they too grew up there. Not trying to excuse their inaction, but it all fits the bigger picture.
