How it's used
Refers specifically to a person who consumes human flesh, often appearing in horror fiction or anthropological discussions. While technically accurate, it is rarely used in casual conversation unless discussing movies or dark legends. It carries a much more clinical or literary tone compared to descriptive phrases like食人族.
