Watching, drawing, and writing about people being digested, slowly murdered and killed, to be nothing more but fat on someones body. A person with thoughts and feelings made into nothing but food. Have we really become this numb to the idea of death? I have seen my far share of digestion on this sight and like any sensible person, I would usually skip it if I don't like it or imagine a different outcome for the scenario at hand. But like I've said before in my previous comment, I can ignore it all I want, I can pretend nothing is happening, but im still essentially acting like the Catholic Church. Being blissfully ignorant and refusing to acknowledge the fact that the priest is raping a small child behind the alter.
......Look......
I know this looks like im trying to attack people but i'm not. I don't like causing a fuss, I really don't. Id much rather get along with people than argue. I know this is a fantasy and I know nobody is getting hurt. But is anyone going to ask themselves if we are ever crossing the line? I know I have. Its always come up every now and then. Its the whole "Do we have no shame" thing.
I may not enjoy digestion but I tolerate it. I still view the artwork, read the stories. Hell I've even been on here for a long time, even longer before I made this account (mostly just lurking and be anonymous) and found many artists that I enjoy that do mostly digestion. I have followed them for a while, enjoyed their artwork, having that niche fetish hit every single time. If anything, I even love a lot of their artwork... but it still has digestion. I know its fake, I know its not real but I guess my tldr of all this is, is the sexual gratification of the death of another, even if in a fantasy setting, a good thing to indulge in. If I were to daydream about killing my annoying boss, it would usually be to blow off some steam. Its not like I would do it in real life. But if I were to daydream about killing my annoying boss because it gives me sexual arousal, even if I never intend to do it in real life (maybe its just me) but something seems wrong about that. Maybe you see both as the same thing and see nothing wrong with it. Maybe your wondering why I am making such a big fuss over it. Both can be true.
Some would say im trying to take the moral high ground here in a already weird and niche fetish. And you know, their probably right, even if I don't mean to. I truly wish no hate and desire not to drive anyone away or stomp on any toes, but I can see how it can be seen like that and im sorry if this offends you. After all I'm just a random guy on here that is struggling with the morality of all of this. I could just leave and not come back but... I actually like this fetish... even with all of its going ons...
But maybe im just over thinking all of this. Maybe im just letting my morals get in the way of my thinking. Maybe we should just let people like what they like. If some guy likes to beat his meat to a fantasy of beheading a woman and stabbing her body with a pitchfork, we should just let him. If some girl likes to finger herself to the idea of choking someones baby with her hands in their crib, we shouldn't worry about her. And if people here like the idea of digesting and killing people inside of their stomachs, we shouldn't have a problem with it. Because like everyone likes to say, its all a fantasy...
I think the biggest issue with this whole thing is that I would assume Eka's is a website purely of adults, we are more than capable of being able to distinguish between the real and the fantasies we hold towards vore. A fantasy that includes death might seem 'in poor taste', but at the end of the day, it's what allows people to connect with what we all at its core enjoy, then I would say feel free. I personally enjoy putting my characters in digestive situations where they ultimately become food, because I enjoy the sense of degradation the character feels as they are plucked from the status of human to food, I enjoy the sense of unavoidable peril, my characters attempting to escape from a digestive doom, only to inevitably fail. Ultimately, you don't have to see eye to eye on it, I enjoy it for those reasons, you do not. But, all I ask is that you have the courtesy to not try to shame or degrade me for what I do enjoy.
But I think it's extremely important to understand the fact it's simply, fantasy. When I act out or write a character meeting a painful end when digestion occurs, I am not causing pain to those around me to make it happen, I'm not advocating for the practice to be made a reality, and I understand that the act is purely enjoyable within my own distorted reality of enjoying vore, my imagination. Vore, at least in the sense most people see it here, is an object of fantasy, imaging because it is an act that can't be done within our reality, unlike things such as BDSM, Foodplay, or even rape. What we enjoy is purely in the realm of the fantastical. By enjoying digestion, I do not advocate for the literal slaughter of people for consumption, I am merely fantasising about a reality I know will never come to pass.
You specified an example in your post, " Being blissfully ignorant and refusing to acknowledge the fact that the priest is raping a small child behind the alter". The thing is the comparison here isn't really fair. Within my voraphilic fantasies, no-one is truly hurt, when people roleplay or create art about people and other sentient creatures meeting their digestive end, it's not them turning a fantasy into a wanton lust for murder, it's merely them enjoying the concept of swallowing another whole to what they find the best possible conclusion. With your example, to achieve the high, that feeling of satisfaction, you have to abuse, torture and ultimately scar a small child to get the same satisfaction. Those actions cause real harm amongst actual people, where vore is far enough removed from reality that pretty much all understand it is something to enjoy within the realm of fantasy.
This whole response is probably a little rambly, but at least that's how I see it. At the end of the day, all I ask is you respect peoples choices and preferences towards the more digestive side of vore, even if you don't agree. At the end of the day that's what this threads about, being willing to put asside personal dislikes towards those who instead like it. People will always like what they prefer, the best we can all do is attempt to be as accomodating as possible to others.
