The podcast episode begins by referencing an insurance advertisement and a movie trailer before transitioning into its primary subject matter. The hosts introduce a case involving Gilberto Valet, a former New York City police officer, who allegedly conspired with others on a website named darkfetish.net to murder, cook, and consume his wife. The discussion highlights the specific details of the conspiracy, including co-conspirators with unusual usernames like "Chef Boyer D69" and "Ravioli Doctor," and the explicit nature of the online communications detailing violent acts. The hosts also touch upon other disturbing online content and profiles encountered while researching the topic, illustrating the breadth of extreme fetishes.
The conversation then shifts to exploring the concept of "VOR" (Vorarephilia), defined as arousal from the idea of someone or something eating or being eaten. Examples from a site called "VORtube" are shared, including fictional scenarios and audio clips depicting extreme fantasies of consumption. The hosts differentiate between these fantasies and the real-world intent demonstrated by Valet, emphasizing the tangible steps he took towards committing violence. They also analyze the motivations behind such desires, contrasting them with more fantastical online scenarios.
Finally, the episode concludes by examining the distinction between online fantasy and real-world criminal intent, using the Valet case as a stark example. The hosts discuss the psychological aspects of serial killers, referencing Jeffrey Dahmer and the details of his crimes, and contemplate whether online communities encourage or merely provide an outlet for such desires. The question of whether these websites will be shut down is addressed, with the hosts expressing skepticism due to their nature and potential presence on the dark web.
