While I have emphasized the intellectual side of The Cannibal Cafe, any honest guide must acknowledge: Racist jokes, rape roleplay threads (immediately shut down by mods in the golden era, but present in later unmoderated dumps), and cruel personal attacks exist. This is why the archive is controversial.

: One of the most notorious pieces of the forum's history is the 2001 advertisement posted by Meiwes:

The forum’s subject matter includes graphic discussions of violence, gore, cannibalism (thematic, not literal), death, and criminal acts. There is no filter, no warning page, and no tagging system. If you are sensitive to such topics, this archive is actively hazardous.

Because the content is highly disturbing and often violates modern Terms of Service, it is not hosted on mainstream social media. You can find traces in the following places: 1. The Wayback Machine (Internet Archive) Search for necrobabes.com or cannibalcafe.com .
