>声には出さず心の中で呟きながら、切嗣は左手に持ったハンバーガーを一口頬張る。9年前アインツベルンの婿養子に入った切嗣の舌には、宮廷料理もかくやという豪勢な食事を毎日毎晩食べ続けてきたせいなのか、ジャンクフードの殺伐とした食感がむしろ心地よく、何よりも手先と思考を中断することなく食事を済ませられるのが素晴らしい。As I look at the Japanese text, it really becomes clear just how overblown the reaction to the line in English communities is. The phrase in question is 殺伐とした食感, which a quick Google search of (along with similar phrases like 殺伐とした味) will reveal is a well-established turn of phrase referring to how bland low-quality food tastes. In fact, I'm pretty sure there's a conversation in the Arcueid route between Shiki and Arcueid that's about precisely this.
>This fast food, filled with the sense of slaughter, was more suited to his tastesIt would perhaps have been more natural to phrase it as "This crude fast food was more suited to his tastes", but honestly, you should be able to intuitively parse that it's just describing how Kiritsugu is a slop enthusiast. The notion that the line reads like edgy rambling about enjoying the thought of death and suffering like people seem to claim it does could only come from an extraordinarily poor reader, someone intentionally twisting and misinterpreting what it says for the sake of shitposting, or someone reading a partial second-hand quote of the phrase without any context.
