Disgusted by such an amount you want to leave the fetish?

*clicks away from stuff he doesn't like*

Oh, look at that. Problem solved.

Getting upset by other people's kinks doesn't do you or the person you're mad at any favors.

[Jaxed]

Well, to play devil's advocate here, it's not always just a disagreement of kinks that leaves a sour taste in people's mouth here. When you see threads of people seriously considering pouring it over to real life, or creeping into pedo territory (as in, not just underage artwork, but things like seeing kids upload some vorish content and further encouraging such behavior from a child) then it does tend to leave a more lasting impact than "I don't like this".

I have yet to stumble upon something like that, does it really happen here? Because this is where I'd start drawing lines.

I'm pretty sure the youtube one was closed and buried. As for the "real life" ones, they sadly happen often enough to be a bit of sad joke on this site. Though by "real life" I mean threads asking about how to tell everyone, including their family about their fetish, not actually eating people. But sometimes a thread about people bragging about swallowing mice and the like will show up, despite being against the rules.

Yeah, have seen a few Galleries where by certain Mannerisms and quirks. Its almost guaranteed the account is run by a child.

Short Answer: NO
Long Answer: NOPE

I'm not thin skinned. Nor do I actually care what others think about my personal & private likes or dislikes. And I don't let the infrequent or even frequent interruption of something I dislike to turn me off of what I actually do like.

If I were that weak willed or weak minded, I'd contemplate no longer watching shows I actually like anytime I saw something I intensely dislike, like every damn time a gay guy is on the screen.

It's a bit humorous lurking through the forums, but why would you want to get involved in this community anyway? I get it we share the same fetish but why would you want anyone to know, even anonymously. This is such a disgusting fetish and I hate myself for enjoying this shit. Anyone that's into this MUST have some serious repressed memories or some kind of mental illness.

Again I voice my vote for the implentation of a "hide artist/author" function. That one greasemonkey one used to work great, but it doesn't work on windows 10 unfortunately. I keep getting bombarded by a huge wave of scat now which I've noticed is having a huge rise in the past 3 years.

I can deal with bad art and the occasional guro, but I really hate scat.

edit: after reading more of the thread, I gotta agree with the users here, there's a huge rise of kids on the site and I'm pretty sure that's illegal. It's super obvious to tell who the kids are, and there's a huge wave of them as well.

Sometimes I see art that I don't like, but it doesn't make me want to "leave" or anything.

I think we really, really need a properly working blacklist. The tag blacklist only works in very specific cases. If someone posts a piece of artwork tagged both F/M and Scat, it will show up in my Watched Tags under F/M, without any notification that it also contains a blacklisted tag. The only place it seems to work is inside search results, and when browsing recent artwork. It doesn't seem to work while inside an artist's gallery, either.

This problem could be avoided if we had a rating system on Eka's. I've been wanting it for a while now.

Not having a rating system is a very deliberate decision, I think. It helps avoid "cliques", and it avoids stuff like vote trolling. It also helps avoid lesser-known artists being pushed to the side because they aren't quite as popular yet. This site gives everyone a fair chance.

Every time I see that god damn hyper-realistic child porn on this site it makes me want to vomit. And the fact that it's not ever removed makes me feel even worse, it's led to me nearly leaving this site at the very least a few times.

[klonoa723]

Not really fer me. Like, if I see something I don't like, I just ignore it :v

[Theguythatdoes]

If I see something I don't like, I ignore it and move along. If I see something I like mixed with something I don't like, I'm somewhat disappointed, but I move on again.

What do you mean by this? We don't allow those here. Have you actually reported them?

[illirium]

There are some kinds of vore and some varieties of related subject matter that make me feel guilty inside -- like, "how could I enjoy something even remotely like this, or even in the same fetish/fandom as this..." So sometimes, yes, I've pondered "quitting..." But ultimately, as long as it's just fantasy, or as long as no-one is actually hurting anyone else, I do my best to accept it and focus on the stuff I do like. On the other hand, there are types of vore I honestly enjoy that sometimes make me feel guilty in the same way... That's harder to ignore. Oh well. "It's just a show, you really should relax!" and so on, eh? But I think vore is a fetish that inherently lends itself to potentially disturbing and difficult subject matter. So stumbling across works and discussions that disturb you and make you feel bad, even to the point of wanting to "quit," seems understandable to me. It seems like a hazard inherent in looking for vore-themed works at all... I don't think there's really anything inherently wrong with liking vore, though, and I feel like it'd be overly "puritanical" of me to try and 'quit' the fetish entirely; so I do the best I can to just bypass the stuff I dislike too strongly. But certainly there are times when I feel quite bad about it. Ah well.

To me personally, that kind of view does seem overly harsh... You're not a bad person for liking vore, I don't think. As long as you aren't actually going out and hurting anyone, what harm does it really do? People have all sorts of weird sexual fetishes and urges. Heck, even comparatively "vanilla" fetishes -- feet, light bondage, whatever -- don't really make any more inherent sense than vore does. "Disgusting" is in the eye of the beholder. Ultimately, there's nothing rational about any human being's sexual urges; in fact, anything even remotely sexual or fetish-related is exactly the sort of thing human beings are least likely to be rational or logical or sensible about. That doesn't make it automatically bad or disgusting... Just try to be a good person in the way you actually treat other people, and like what you like. You won't be helping yourself or anyone else by beating yourself up about it! That's what I think, at least.

And I think a lot of seemingly normal "members of society" we see around us have dark corners in their minds with weird and disturbing thoughts... If not vore, then something else. There's no such thing as a psychologically perfect human being, I don't think.

On the other hand, as I said in the first half of my post, I can sympathise to an extent... It's certainly understandable, I think, why a person might feel this way. Still, I believe there's no use in dwelling on it or beating yourself up about it. I guess this is an inner conflict I have as well, but hey, life is full of those anyway! Try to accept yourself as you are and find some equanimity; if nothing else, it is just plain healthier than self-hate.

you better have some strong, solid evidence to back up that accusation voltwrecker. that is a dead fucking serious claim you're making.

As a moderator of a discord server, I often see posts like this that either don't warrant much truth or the person complains that moderation isn't doing their job but failed to bother reporting or telling anyone about it if it's true at all. Or it could be exaggerated, no one can know for sure unless the accuser shows someone some proof, preferably Eka's, which as you can see she asked and hopefully got a answer.

this "child porn" discussion is kinda confusing me. underage isn't even uncommon here, and interest in "loli/shota" is pretty freely discussed on the forums, never mind how often it shows up in art/writing. i don't think level of realism in the art style makes a difference unless no one can be sure that it isn't actually a photo. so if the site allows underage in any form, then it doesn't warrant reporting and is just gonna have to be a matter of taste (and praying the blacklist feature actually works one of these days). and if it doesn't allow it, then... we've got a *lot* of reporting to do. i don't think i've seen anyone post photos or things that look like/probably are photos, and of course if anyone does, the only thing to do is immediately report it. but i'm p sure people talking about child porn on the site are talking about all the underage art, not stuff involving actual people.

Indeed there is a difference, you can't point at any story/art with underage stuff in it and call it child porn, child porn includes real children, not made-up characters that resemble children.

Considering we have a underage forum section, art and stories are not against the rules obviously, so just don't look or help with tagging and suggest proper tags, then move on. I don't really browse art though so I never found this super realistic stuff people keep claiming, I only seen loli/shota anime stuff that I do my best to stay away from.

yeah, i've seen some realistic art involving sexualized minors pop up in my notifications (thanks to whitelist overriding the blacklist ) but it was clearly just that: art. and i can see why people would be bothered by its presence, considering possible implications "behind the scenes", but fantasy and reality are still two vastly different things and it's not fair to make assumptions or try to incriminate people who haven't hurt anyone. i don't think anyone here is doing that, but just venting frustrations about being exposed to things they are uncomfortable seeing. i don't venture into the underage forum because i don't really wanna risk seeing certain things, myself, even so having underage characters doesn't necessarily mean children are being sexualized in the art--just the fact that it frequently happens is enough to keep me out of there--but from what i have seen while browsing, i wouldn't think real-life posts were much of an issue on here. and i'd hope no one was doing any of the things shown here in real life...

Misunderstanding has been resolved. We can move on.
