New site to help Voraphiles, partners, and friends.

Postby Daichi777 » Mon May 23, 2022 4:11 pm

Hi everyone,

I'm decided to release my website early starting with the 'What is Vore?' page. There's only 3 pages currently as the rest I have to complete some articles and awaiting quite a lot of chibi's from one of my artists. I'm currently moving in 3 weeks so I have to put the other pages on hold till then.

Basically the site primarily focuses on helping the younger ones of us, partners, friends, and of course the older ones of us. There's going to be a page for the Giantess Kink that's similar to the vore one, Community Etiquette etc and stuff for my own content is secondary. The way the page is worded and designed is to help shine a better light on Vore while being easily understandable and explainable to partners and the like. For this reason it's made for a social point of view, not technical. I've explained the reasons at the bottom of the page for those that like being technical to a point.

I had to quickly format the site to fit and enable the mobile view for it. It's best opened on a PC. If you spot something I missed out (small grammar doesn't matter, only if I've missed words etc) let me know! I hope this helps some people, The few people I did preview it to originally said it was really good or gets the point across enough. Obviously everyone's different and I there's no way to account for every sub category of vore. But I think it works.

Once I've got enough feedback and get time, I'll start throwing SEO stuff to get it ranked properly and hopefully be one of the top results on Google later on.

1.) Due to poor coding, the page loaded first, then the enter page loaded after.

2.) Consider taking more time to make a shorter explanation. The only justification for it to be this long is if you hire an actual sexual therapist to formulate things and have data.

3.) Maybe make a safe version where people don't have to see things they're not into, if you're implying that this is for a vorarephile to show others, having it assail someone not into it with a cloying amount of giantess chibis feels less like a serious explanation and more like you're trying to seduce yourself and assume other people like what you like.

4.) On the topic of that, you've also practically branded it under a singular aesthetic that the reader is constantly bombarded with, so that my gut reaction on the whole thing was FUCK THIS FUCK YOU FUCK EVERYTHING ESPECIALLY EVERYTHING RELATED TO THIS and that's considering I'm someone into the stuff. If I want to know what vore is, and someone linked me this, they deserve to be punched. Imagine your conversation about what a furry is starts with just art that furries like UWUing or just straight up furry porn depicted everywhere. Like sure, I might have to be shown a few examples, but there's a difference between that and being bombarded with the aesthetic.

5.) Very, very straight male (prey)-centric design that media already suffers. Think about it, when we stereotype a fetish the domina is overwhelmingly what is pictured. It works, but it's a bit last century and this kind of neglect is basically part of what produces the patriarchy on accident.

6.) Overwhelming normalization of the Giantess aspect. They're very separate things, giantess can stand on itself without vore and vice-versa, they only seem to make sense together if someone has both and is already mentally associating one with the other - but that is just not the norm and not representative of either. Fetish already suffers people displaying their version as a supposed norm, which is ironic because the whole thing is off the supposed norm. The effect is pushing acceptance of one variation at the expense of other variations.

7.) And finally, the writing. Length notwithstanding, it is rambly, anecdotal, and tiring to read. I have to genuinely push myself not to close the window whenever I get sick of the 'personal explainy' tone. This would work if vore was a game I was reading about on GameFAQs, or like one dude's Reddit post answering a question I actively asked if we ignored the length as a factor. It is otherwise a disfavor to the uptake of the topic.


Basically: The site looks like someone, spoiled by their access to the means and in their self-absorbed mindset, tried to be the arbiter of an entire peoples they just so happen to belong to working entirely on personal anecdotes and experiences. Furthermore, they can't help but personalize the entire thing and have to shove in what they're into making what has good intentions and valid goals into a work of masturbatory amounts of personalized aesthetic presentation and has taken what is a valid, singular experience and perspective and ruined it by presenting it as the norm.

This page becoming the representation for vore is like Balto being the representation for the 1925 serum run to Nome, if it succeeds, it is wrong to succeed.

I very much enjoyed reading through this. It was a very good overview of the vore community, broaching some of the harder topics, but managing to remain light at the same time. I'm sorry to hear about your own experience's due to being apart of the community, saying it's a shame is understating it.
My hope is that you continue to improve this, as I feel it can help a lot of people in the community.

I'd have to say I agree with the comment about images.

If this is meant for someone who might not necessarily be into vore to educate themselves it would be best not to inundate them with images they might not be comfortable with. It's assumptive to think those and the captions beneath would be appreciated.

You've formed those pictures and captions with the intention of arousing the reader. A reader who very well may not be aroused at all, or even worse a reader worried over their mental health coming here for answers! Having that arousal forced on them to get to the answers... It's like starting an AA meeting with a tour of a brewery.

I would also keep the front page short and sweet and elaborate on some of the topics you have on the front page in links. Like the ones you've already got which are a good resource to get to the answers the user came for.

This is more directed at KnightleyPaine than Ryan though I included the answers together since some of the points I'm replying to are similar to yours. You can't please everybody and it's not possible to. For those that love technical or short versions then there's other sites like Wiki or Eka's that'll be more suitable for you. Those kinds of people would already leave the page if it's too much for them. It's written social to help and is long for that reason because it's the only thing some people especially younger would have. Or a way for those not into vore to not have something technical to the point to fire back at you because it looks weird to them just knowing "it's eating other things". If you already know how deep or dark you are into the kink, you have to remember you're sharing space with everyone else reading. I know it's a bit long but not everyone has access to therapists especially at a young age and it might be the only relative or comforting thing they can find for years that's close to one. If you tell someone something and don't give enough logic or example or especially a way they can relate. It'll just go in one ear and out the other.

I'm using the wix editor just to keep things simple, I'm not going to edit the coding unless I really have to for something. The warning I'm looking into and it's supposed to load first but for some reason it's not. Think because it's trying to load images on the page first or finish an animation playing but I'll look later when I get time.

Image wise (@ryanshow also), some are placeholders as I'm still getting different ones made to make it friendlier. They're not cheap and take a week and a half. I had to quickly change the layout of everything and just dumped everything to fit in the viewpoint because people were having issues seeing clipped stuff etc. That's why the images unfortunately got in the way now. If someone's turned on by every image related to vore regardless of what it is, there's nothing I can do. Granted there are 2 images there that I can see as arousing (cannibalism/sexual violence sections to me) but they're placeholders currently.

The 'straight male prey' design is because I'm using the most common sub category of vore, and most common audience for the entire example. You can still use it to relate to your sub category, and if you want to explain to a partner or someone of what you're into vore such as furry, hard, full tour etc. You can do that personally. I'm not kink shaming, but it's a no brainer that those not into vore, especially partners can be especially put off if everything's lumped together without considering how many target audience types you're aiming at. Female preds, and some that love being extremely cruel who have given feedback have said that it's good for them too. Even if it wasn't aimed at this type of "straight male" audience, I'm not going to write something from a predators pov when I'm not one, nor do I have the experience or right to because of it.

The front page is just chucked in as the vore page was my priority. I need to finish the other pages before I decide what to do with it for layout and navigation. SEO is going to handle the pages as I'd rather people went to them first.

If it wasn't obvious you didn't like me for whatever reason (don't care and not my problem either) and you're saying crap like self absorbed etc. You are very welcome to make your own site for everyone in mind to help them or explain it to them. I get it's not so nice for preds or evil lovers to read at times. But it's better to play it in a safer friendlier tone. It's not last century, it's common sense. Of more than 40 people of widely varying genders, sexual orientations, gts and vore kinks who gave feedback. This is the first feedback to just focus on everything they didn't like and make me dismiss it for being so off point. If anything, people had more to add before the version you saw now and it's partly why some parts are so long from trying to get everything in.

Fuck off with that explanation, you opened with the site being the introduction to vore itself, now the audience is young if it's technical (but not if it's long) and need comfort when it's rambly. Look, I get it, when it was written, it seemed like every bit was needed, that's why I said you need to take longer to make a shorter write-up. And no shit not everyone has access to therapists, maybe that's why it's a good idea to get one to handle this, maybe that would have been a better use of funds over getting a bunch of artists to fellate a giantess kink. Moreso than technical, I'm asking it to be professional and competent, which pertains more to an ability to get points across succinctly and writing in a way that can keep attention.

More importantly, your audience seems to be morphing with the justification, which brings me back to my point that it was made for a singular type of audience; the author.

Yeah, sure, and obviously if media is only white cis-het dudes that doesn't mean the other stuff doesn't exist. Ffs, maybe just not have giantess chibis vectoring in from left and write vying for the reader to be horny at the vore already when I'm struggling to wade through the vague attempt at structuring a vomit of thoughts and opinions. Oh look! You misunderstood both me and the other guy because neither of us wrote particularly competently, I wonder if that's a thing that comes up sometimes.

Again, you're trying to say this is the page for the vore introduction, and immediately upon being called out you're already dismissing anything different as capable of having their own space. Which again, reveals that you've not created the vore introduction, you've created your space. So I'll be more clear here, I don't want my space also being shoved into people's faces, I want the space you claim to introduce people to our space to do it's goddamn work. Let me put it this way, suppose one of your majority straight male prey dudes has to explain their thing to their statistically also straight, but now female SO. Do you think a page filled with giant (in a literal sense) tits is the best medium to open with? If I get a BDSM gf, do you think it is universally appreciated that the means by which she tries to explain that it's normal just has dudes in gimpsuits with chastity belts tweening into my field of view clamoring for attention in while I scroll? That sure is something a young person needs for fucking comfort.

Okay cool just letting you know about it.

Yes I hate you personally - You goddamn dumbfuck, I haven't had the misfortune of even remotely knowing about your meaningless existence until yesterday and I take solace in that I'll likely forget about you sooner rather than later. I hate the work of the author of that site, judging them for their actions and their character, because they are bad actions of shit character. Whether you try to hold that hill as an apologetic or adjust your behavior decides what type of person you are from there. And your reply here drives the problem home:

Daichi777 wrote:I get it's not so nice for preds or evil lovers to read at times.

It's like you assume people tick like you, so their contention is that their smut isn't the one being mashed into people's faces at all times. That there's some straw position out there thinking you should have filled the page with vicious looking murderpreds. How about none of that? How about zero content that looks like it was weird-ass fap material for the alleged non-vore person reading this? Or maybe I'm misreading you, who the fuck knows, because these post so far were just more informal back and forth, I guaran-fucking-tee you something about either of our points is going to be lost during reading, as if that was a normal thing that happens when you don't write well.

So I'll do you a solid, here's a step by step attempt at suggesting shit without my usual incendiary language:

1.) Fix the coding thing
2.) Remove all images. All of them. They belong in a F/M femdom giantess appreciation fan shrine, not here. You're trying to get something done with the article. I'm not going to dictate your aesthetic, so I'll instead make an example: Let's say I had to read up on what furries are. That works with 0 pictures, but maybe it's good to have like, one fairly muted and normal looking furry image to accompany the explanation. Like, sure, nobody will fault you if it's yet another wolf or fox playing the poster boy, but bonus points if the species isn't the overused majority, maybe the topic drifts into media and there's a screenshot of Disney's Robin Hood, or the history and there's art from the OG furries. A couple of friendly furries in fursuits going with an explanation of how the culture is lived, maybe even one Razmatazz the Sergal OC do not steal with 10 piercings, a halo, black wings and rainbow fur coloring, but still muted in theming - because they can be colorful and flamboyant and there's a vast culture and one example to make that known is reasonable. Maybe there's mild aesthetics to the page itself like there's a pawprint watermark in the background in a corner. See, the images are kept muted and purposeful. However, if that page starts vectoring in diaperfurs left and right constantly when I'm trying to read, and the author is like "Well obviously other things exist for furries and they're all welcome to make their own page" that is not really a good way to achieve the objective.
3.) Remove all the need for giantess to be explained with it, then make a separate giantess one. One thing at a time, but either article should make it clear that fetishes can be very wide-ranging.
4.) Consider the objective and the reader first. You're trying to get a point across, not kit it out in art like a personal passion-project. Is the reader not into vore? How do you maintain comfort for that? Is the reader young, and without access to professional help? Why not hire a sexual therapist instead to write it instead of more giantess chibi artists? - That doesn't mean it will turn into a formal, scholarly article, because striking the right tone and approaching a topic the right way are in fact part of that skillset. Or is it specifically for young, confused M Prey giantess fans to come to terms with their particular thing via relating to your lived experiences? Then don't advertise it as representative for all of vore, because as a singular, valid experience it works as a limited window into someone with this lived experience, but if you have to throw around "you are free to make your own version" - obviously, on top of failing to be representative of the community, it means you're not really interested in being that - which, you know, fair, nobody expects that from you, just don't present as that in the first place if that's the extent of it.
5.) While you cannot make 'everyone' happy, you're claiming to do something for the community here, like building a bridge. If you build a bridge and decorate it with giantess chibis in your backyard, all the power to you. If I have to walk over it without plummeting to my death, you're going to hear it if the structure is unsound, and all the giantess chibis exceeding the first few are superfluous - it's like cats, there's a point where you exceed reasonable amount of cats (also if you're advertising for all pets but everything is cats maybe just advertise for cats specifically).

1.) Fix the coding thing
2.) Remove all images. All of them. They belong in a F/M femdom giantess appreciation fan shrine, not here. You're trying to get something done with the article. I'm not going to dictate your aesthetic, so I'll instead make an example: Let's say I had to read up on what furries are. That works with 0 pictures, but maybe it's good to have like, one fairly muted and normal looking furry image to accompany the explanation. Like, sure, nobody will fault you if it's yet another wolf or fox playing the poster boy, but bonus points if the species isn't the overused majority, maybe the topic drifts into media and there's a screenshot of Disney's Robin Hood, or the history and there's art from the OG furries. A couple of friendly furries in fursuits going with an explanation of how the culture is lived, maybe even one Razmatazz the Sergal OC do not steal with 10 piercings, a halo, black wings and rainbow fur coloring, but still muted in theming - because they can be colorful and flamboyant and there's a vast culture and one example to make that known is reasonable. Maybe there's mild aesthetics to the page itself like there's a pawprint watermark in the background in a corner. See, the images are kept muted and purposeful. However, if that page starts vectoring in diaperfurs left and right constantly when I'm trying to read, and the author is like "Well obviously other things exist for furries and they're all welcome to make their own page" that is not really a good way to achieve the objective.
3.) Remove all the need for giantess to be explained with it, then make a separate giantess one. One thing at a time, but either article should make it clear that fetishes can be very wide-ranging.
4.) Consider the objective and the reader first. You're trying to get a point across, not kit it out in art like a personal passion-project. Is the reader not into vore? How do you maintain comfort for that? Is the reader young, and without access to professional help? Why not hire a sexual therapist instead to write it instead of more giantess chibi artists? - That doesn't mean it will turn into a formal, scholarly article, because striking the right tone and approaching a topic the right way are in fact part of that skillset. Or is it specifically for young, confused M Prey giantess fans to come to terms with their particular thing via relating to your lived experiences? Then don't advertise it as representative for all of vore, because as a singular, valid experience it works as a limited window into someone with this lived experience, but if you have to throw around "you are free to make your own version" - obviously, on top of failing to be representative of the community, it means you're not really interested in being that, so don't present as that in the first place.
5.) While you cannot make 'everyone' happy, you're claiming to do something for the community here, like building a bridge. If you build a bridge and decorate it with giantess chibis in your backyard, all the power to you. If I have to walk over it without plummeting to my death, you're going to hear it if the structure is unsound, and all the giantess chibis exceeding the first few are superfluous - it's like cats, there's a point where you exceed reasonable amount of cats (also if you're advertising for all pets but everything is cats maybe just advertise for cats specifically).


If you want someone to actually read anything. Don't make them stop at the end of "Fuck off with that explanation," when it's the intro. Especially when your first post was about getting knickers in a twist than actual feedback to take seriously. Not all of us like having our time wasted, and there's no point reading crap when you think the rest is going to be a rant.

If you don't like my attitude. Treat others the way you wish to be treated. It's common sense.

I'm really sorry about what happened Eka. I won't be replying to them anyway as I didn't even read past the first few words of the previous message and it'd be a waste of my time to do so.

Just trying to help make things a better place and easier for others and their partners. Not bother with non-constructive feedback.

I'm not 100% sure about this. On one hand I'm 100% fine with you doing whatever you want to do and don't see this site as particularly harmful, though I can't really picture it being used seriously. I'd rather keep this community niche but I understand why people have a problem with it - it's just my personal opinion.

While the site isn't exactly my cup of tea as well, and I apologize if I come across as stupid, I don't understand the overly aggressive responses.

Just to be clear I intend no vitriol. I do not dislike you.

I'll judge it by the finished product. But for the intended purpose it might be more appropriate to give the user the *option* to look at images rather than make it a requirement.

I speak from the experience of creating presentations for my wife who has a masters degree in mental health counseling. We've made presentations for sex and sexuality classes to introduce the topic of vore to people in a university setting. It was definitely a challenge to find pictures that were appropriate and not necessarily sexual. So I get the placeholder part but the captions were what made me think that the intention was to arouse.

Nah I get what you mean, I'd rather keep it close too. But I even ended up on here as a creator in the first place because of what happened when there wasn't anything to help others understand vore in a better light. When I lost my fiancé in a massive part due to her looking up vore to try be more loveful and understand it better, one of the first things she came across at the time when she searched vore was an image from this site (I couldn't find it anywhere else at the time). I'm not kink shaming or anything, everyone's got their own thing. But that search result (from what I understand) was a MLP wearing a Nazi uniform, shitting out someone and had somehow ended up near the very top of search results. That's not something you want to show first in search results at all when you simply Google what is vore. I don't want anyone else to go through what I did. Sorry for the aggressiveness before, was replying in the same language back to them.

I'm really sorry about that, I really didn't mean any ill intent towards you. It was just easier to answer the same questions they had and yours at once. I normally read and reply down in order while reading, but when I reached number 4 it started changing into that reply.

I did have a version without most of the images but then a lot of feedback was it's not fun to look through at all because they just see text then come across sexual harassment video. 2 partners of friends/patrons who had read said that there should be more easy going stuff like the chibi's which I've been getting a lot more of. Something that relates to the article but keeps it cute. Which images do you think would be too much past the stomach/sushi ones? Because the site's going to have my content anyway on other pages, if it was arousing I'm thinking they'd just go there rather than read the article if that's what they're there for.

Other than the images immediately making me very uncomfortable (simply a preference issue- maybe make it toggle-able to see them? I’m sure I’m not the only one who might have that reaction, but of course doing so is up to you) I think it’s a decent start! The sheer volume of writing overwhelms me personally (that’s not necessarily the case for others) but I imagine with a bit of tweaking it could potentially be a very valuable resource! Id keep working on it!

I really like this idea! I definitely think some of the text can be quite long and anecdotal, maybe pick and choose which anecdotes pertain the most relevance for the reader, especially one who's trying to learn about Vore for the first time, and cut out as much filler as you see fit! Also, making your examples of Vore more broad and general might also be helpful, especially if you want to emphasis how many kinds of Vore there are. For picture references, it might be a good idea searching for less erotic examples, especially for newcomers who still don't know how they feel about this kind of stuff.

Other than that, I think this is a really good idea, and could come extremely useful for those who struggle to explain to their partner's what exactly this funny fascination of ours is all about! Your bit about how trusting your partner with this knowledge being one of the most terrifying things we could do really hit home, and I hope this turns out to be a valuable resource for any newcomers out there who need it!

Neat this is kinda cool. I like the idea.
I agree with KnightleyPaine in that it seems way too long and with Lonnie in that I think the images should be more or less neutral.
I don't think there should not be any images but I don't think someone who is trying to learn what vore is should have to read around porn.
I suggest stock images or icons that mildly hint at the things you are describing if anything at all.
A section dedicated to different types of vore with examples for the more curious or the experimenters might be a good place to stow the lewder of images.

Some images are just placeholders until I can get something chibi made to replace and make it friendlier/tone down. I might just duplicate the page and remove most images and people can choose at the top of that page to view it instead. I'll see what I can do when I can get back to it in a few weeks to trim down stuff. Some are asking me to add more so I'd need to reword a bit.

For the categories of Vore it's focused on the more easily understandable stuff to non-voraphiles hence the giantess vore focus as the site also will be focusing on giantess too. I'll see if I can fit in some same size mentions etc for the voraphile sections down bottom and maybe the very top part. The aim was to be generalized more than explaining the different variations because they're not as easy to accept for non-voraphiles; if you're trying to get them to accept these things. For instance, same size is one that I know not everyone is able to imagine or be comfortable with because it stretches the imagination a lot. Stuff that I'm into like full tour/digestion isn't something you'd want to be explained there either lol. The person into vore should explain to partners what they like and why, the sites just to help ease them into the most common one and help break the ice also. Listing everything like nipple vore etc can make things even worse. It's not kink shaming in any way, just less is more imo and stops them being overwhelmed. I've had friends who think one thing and get confused that you like the other vore category because it was mentioned before. And any voraphile would be exploring and finding what they like anyhow so they'd come across the different categories regardless.

I'll be able to make a few changes next week, and more when I've moved completely by around 15th June.

Great lil website fam

I had to look back, I didn't realize you were the one who did that! Thanks for what you do! I didn't mention or link it yet as I'd been so busy I was going to ask Eka later if I could and to use images from it as reference. I'm guessing I should ask you both if it would be alright to use it on the site? But yea saying giantess vore is one of the most common without some evidence like that got me a bit of flak ^^;

Usually I wouldn't care to criticize what people create, but since this is presented as a dedicated “Introduction to Vore in general”, I'll throw my hat in the ring.

I completely agree with the sentiment that art (or especially suggestive captions) may not be of the greatest use here.
Having an informative article about something that is potentially off-putting supplemented by graphic depictions of said thing is, in my opinion, not the best idea.
Maybe a dedicated section for curated examples?

I understand you are into Giantesses, but as someone who is more into same-size it's a bit irritating when ~90% of the text reads pretty neutral (that's good), and the other 10% makes it seem like Vore is by default Macro.
Also, I think giantess being "more easily understandable" doesn't really stick.
Yes, it makes more sense from a realistic "how would it be possible" perspective, but from the perspective of someone approaching it to understand their partner, it might give the wrong impression.
Imagine a partner that is weirded out by the idea of size-difference and body-exploration, but more receptive to belly- or preg-fetish reading this site, they might very well come to the conclusion that Vore isn't really compatible with what they like when that might not be the case.

Tl;dr:
I kind of like the idea of a site like this, but I will say that this definitely has room to mature.
Maybe go over the scrips again and see if you can make it more clear that there isn't a “default mode” for what Vore is and that preferences can vary by a lot.
