Vore and "tolerance" (or, stop molesting people)

[masterofvore1]

I think there needs to be a balance, though it is a hard line to draw.
people take things too far in either direction- either aggressively sharing when asked politely to stop(trollish), or the other extreme shutting out any culture that's not "normal"(hypocritical).

indeed there was a topic that became extremely popular last year, where it was getting shared everywhere. for me where it got truly disruptive is when the perpetrators would spam to the point of crowding out on-topic content,and then hiding behind the "don't be a hater!" screen when confronted on it. interestingly a similar behavior is noticeable in several cultures. the important thing is to be respectful,which goes both ways. to say exposing new people to the content is "molesting" them is, imo, a bit of an extreme statement.

so yeah "let's all get along" might be a cliche, but going overboard is also just asking for trouble. pause a moment and think "does this really matter?"
(not to say "anything goes". just that it's better to see a bit of both before panicking. especially on the internet where some things can even be avoided to an extent.)

Honestly I thought this post was gonna be about photomanipulating pictures of pregnant women and such that they just pull out of the image search, and I can get behind that message.

This, however, is... a clusterfuck, to put it plainly. sure there's some decent things in here, like the fursona thing, but in general it's worded too poorly to really get just WHAT'S trying to be said, or it's something that's hardly if ever happened in my experience seeing it on sites that house both vore & non-vore content on it. Half of the contents of the OP are further muddied by the introduction of vore as a sort of meme that's bled out to non-vore content.

Lastly, this concept that it's "molestation" to flirt is honestly insane. Seriously, a more appropriate term would be catcalling, as you're not physically forcing yourself on them in a sexual manner, as what real molestation is, and to try to call it such trivializes what those who HAVE been molested have gone through, just like how calling a regretful one night stand rape trivializes what rape victims go through.

"Don't be weird and creepy in public"? Sure, dawg. This is the internet and nobody has any sense of tact or social grace and people in fetish communities are even worse about that, as the comments of any YouTube video with fetishy content will show you. Especially if it's unintentionally fetishy content.

All the rest? Man, I have no idea what the hell you're attempting to get at and neither does anyone else. What does this comparison to homophobia do for you other than distort your point and make it more controversial than it needed to be? At best you'll piss people off for implying homosexuality is a fetish. Then you call it "molestation" instead of just being creepy, something I think most people would pick up on a lot faster.

Listen, my guy, we're all weird as fuck here and if you're going to scold us for something it'd help if you ordered your ideas comprehensibly. As you can tell, some people are receptive to the idea that you shouldn't act like a weirdo outside of the designated weirdo-zone, so to speak, but to arrive there you verge on incoherent most of the time and you're completely incoherent all the rest.

...so in other words don't be a dick to people? Dude, why the hell do you think the internet was invented? To further the development of mankind? No, it was invented so that grown men could act like 12 year olds and scream at each other for any reason they can come up with no matter how stupid, keeping us distracted from the imminent threat that is the Soviet Union 2.0! The internet was just a device used to keep us from noticing their grab for power!!!!1

I wish vore community was like a Fight Club with it's first rule.

I could get behind that.

I wish vore community was like a Fight Club with it's first rule.

I could get behind that.

I concur. We need a new rule around here.

First rule of vore: Do not talk about vore outside the community.

I will graciously pass on this rather stupid idea.

The issue of people making fetish-related comments on unrelated art or writing is I feel not a vore-centric thing. It is personally the most annoying comment "It goods it be better with [x]." People who do that . . . UGH. Like, feel free to comment on the quality of the art, and such. But let writers write what they want and artists draw what they want. Don't harass them because they don't share your particular fetish.

On the second issue: Personally, I have never had much of a tolerance for people who put their fetishes on non-fetish websites, in general.

For example. DeviantArt was not designed for fetish content (or porn, fullstop). Don't whine when they ban you. You knew it was against the rules. FurAffinity however, is a mostly a fetish website. So are Sofurry (despite the fact it briefly tried to make it otherwise) and e621. People on those sites need to use the blacklist features if they don't want to see a fetish.
