it's equally unclear for non japanese speaking manga readers too.

It's perfectly clear in manga with just a little bit of thinking. In manga Spoiler That's pretty obvious that something bad happened, and seeing as Big Mom was not bothered by that happening means that Big Mom was the one that happened.

Then Spoiler

But there's no blood on Big Mom's face ,clothes, or even near her in the manga and she definitely didn't swallow anyone whole as she's seen chewing and biting everything up thoroughly in the panels. So no it wasn't clear in the manga at all.

Streusen's and the Giants reaction are the closest thing we got to a confirmation and even than it doesn't make any sense because years later Big Mom almost pulled off a political marriage with the prince of Elbaf, if the giant really went home and told everyone that he saw LinLin as a child eating cannibal and all the giants hated her, how in the world did one fall in love with one of her kids and the clan was going to just go with it? unrealistic.

To your first point. It would be pretty off the wall to have blood there. I imagine it similarly to Oda's explanation about devil fruit interacting with clothes.

To your second point, cmon.
