Dealbreakers in vore

[zwiersa]

A few of my many dealbreakers:

- Sex. Including nudity, and oversexualized characters. Sex in general turns me off lol.
- Thin/lean preds. I wish I were into it since it's common in M/f, but I've always been helplessly attracted to cute guys with extra weight.
- Female preds, feminine male preds.
- Safe vore, or willing prey.
- Underage characters.
- Same-size.
- Loud burps.

[Skulker]

1. Extreme size difference. Prey should not be the size of popcorn.
2. Oblivious Preds. None of that ‘see, eat, immediately forget about it’ shit. Eating someone should be an experience.
3. Repeated mass vorings of unwilling Prey. Makes the setting feel callous, cruel, and paper thin.
4. Unambiguous Perma-Death when the Prey is willing, especially when the Pred and Prey are in a relationship. Death that the Prey can come back from is fine, but dead and gone forever is not.
5. Scat, gas, piss, puke and odors.

Overly glutinous BBW preds, vore being too inconsequential/casual and mass vore.

For me, vore is a very intimate act, so having too many preys, or lines like "she had a massive ass from the hundreds of men she's eaten before" just defeats the whole point. Maybe two preys at a time at most, but not much more. Aslo, while I realize that the point of vore is that it's a fantasy, I still prefer more realism in the stories. The pred, even if skilled, needs to at least try to get the prey down, and even if it's non-fatal, the characters still need to treat it like a potential life or death scenario. As such, even if it's nice to see the pred enjoying herself with her filled gut, I hate it when the story forgets that the prey was ever a person.
Personally I also prefer when vore is at the very least taboo if not outright unknown about, so the pred needs to discover things herself.
Even if a story has interesting tags and I see something like
"Takeesha was a BBW half-harpy, eigth-neko, eighth-lamia and quarter vampire goddess. The three full grown adults she ate that morning have already been digested and she was feeling hungry. She saw her colleague walking down the hallway and gulped him down in two seconds because he didn't struggle. After that she went to the cafeteria and had two full thanksgiving dinners. This should be enough to hold her over for at least an hour. She went back to the office and met her friend Suzan, who was currently digesting 15 kids she got from a school bus. They said hi and then Suzan pulled out her massive horsecock and they had sex for 53 hours"

For me, somewhat casual vore and even willing prey is fine as long as the characters are well written.

Prey that escape the predator's belly and aren't even re-eaten. I really, really don't want a happy ending for the prey. I want their fate to be sealed.

Hmm... If it's in a universe where the likely outcome is that everyone ends up digested eventually, having stories where this particular character escapes isn't a terrible big issue for me. Same with having, say, 4 people eaten and only 1 live to tell the tale.

What I have a bigger issue with is stories where vore is explicitly dangerous to the prey, but characters who are eaten can usually get out without any real reason why we shouldn't just expect this character to escape every single time.

An interesting extension of the idea. Thank you.

Vore stories that pretend to be mysteries are the absolute worst. Fortunately, these stories are few and far between but I've seen enough of them to know I hate them.

Each one runs a tad different but the set-up is always the same: after introducing the main character, the writer will try to string the plot together as though we don't know we're reading a vore story. They'll start saying things like, Who's this new teacher and what happened to our old teacher? And why is Miss New Teacher's belly so big? Wait, did she just laugh when she said she wanted to meet Kyle for lunch? Oh no, Kyle's gone missing and no one's seen him since his meeting with Miss New Teacher! Where could he be? Oh my gosh, why is Miss New Teacher's belly so much bigger today than it was yesterday? Wait, could be there be some correlation between Kyle's disappearance and Miss New Teacher's large belly?

It's like, come on man. We know what's happening. We're on a vore site, for crying out loud. Don't pretend like you're writing some big mystery when you're clearly not. It's not erotic, it's not funny, and it's not interesting. It's a waste of everyone's time and nothing more.

For me, it goes cock'n'balls, vagene, nips, buddole, in descending order of grossness.

Never seen anything dick related that didn't put me off, likely never will. Dicks are for stabbing, not engulfing, get your symbolisms straight. Also genitals in general are just horrendous to look at, and dicks doubly so. There's only one reason I like to see exposed genitals, and it's to show that a character has been stripped bare before the world as an act of will-disintegration. Which of course requires the genitals to be normal sized and pathetic.

Vag-gobbling makes a little more sense, and is easier to do tastefully without close-ups of monstrously deformed porno parts, though it's still not my cup of tea. That name though, "unbirth," what an off-putting description.

Nips, eh. I guess I tend not to like it because it's usually in the context of "BIG BOOBA" which is almost half as unpleasant as "GIANT MAN-SIZED DONG".

With the bum, my litmus test is: can I tell from your drawing whether or not the bum in question has haemmorhoids? If theoretically yes, I'm not into it. The same with disposal. Are you showing me the consistency of your shit like a proud two-year-old, or are you quietly dropping your defeated adversary out of sight and mind?

Actual eating, with the mouth and stomach, I'm pretty much always into. Though lazy, drooling and/or mean-spirited writing is lazy, drooling and/or mean-spirited whatever the context.

[CrownCringe]

(Excluding the predictable things that many people dislike)

When all the weight goes to the pred's boobs/ass/thighs/etc and nowhere else. I'm not a scientist but I'm pretty sure that's not how weight distribution works.

You can tell I'm REALLY not a scientist because I was gonna say that doesn't happen at all but I just looked it up and it kinda does. Still I think if most of the weight you gained only went to your desirable parts, overeating wouldn't be as much of a concern.

[NightmareX7]

- Human preds. I'd rather the predator be some kind of actual monster or a creature that would eat their prey whole, like a snake, frog, or something.

- Male prey. I have found some great vore scenes disappointing due to the prey being male. Though, I do tend to reimaging the same scenes using female prey, such as the Terror Toad in Power Rangers or Audrey II eating the boss in Little Shop of Horrors.

- Overly sexualized themes. I get the a lot of us have vore as a fetish, but to make it overly sexual (such as including rape, nudity, foreplay, and themes related), it turns what could be a rather exciting moment more akin to porn, which (ironically) is more of a turn-off to me.

- Too-quick of vore. When the prey is quickly eaten in one bite (where you don't even get to see the prey struggle and just disappear) results in a less-than-satisfying experience, even when the prey is female. This can be remedied through the use of a bulge when the predator swallows the prey, and even better when the bulge is struggling.

- Furries. I'm not a fan of seeing something non-human getting eaten. If the furry prey has more human qualities, such as Fran from Final Fantasy XII or Lethe from Fire Emblem, they're fine, but going as far as Felicia from Darkstalkers or any character from Star Fox is not my cup of tea.

- Feet first. Not much as a fan of seeing the prey getting eaten feet first, as I do have a leg fetish myself, and seeing lovely legs kicking around is quite the arousal. Although, I have found myself still enjoying seeing something getting eaten feet first from time-to-time...

- Ugly prey. It's always best if I find some sort of attraction towards the prey, and as shallow as it sounds, I really can't get aroused if the prey is ugly or physically unattractive.

[Zangoose]

Never realized how many of these kinds of topics there are, and whenever I decide to comment on one, I have more answers to give.

-Underage pred. That stuff is just plain reprehensible.
-Foot fetishism. Foot fetishism is a legitimate trigger of mine. I don't want to be reminded of trauma while looking at my little vore fantasies.
-Furry preds. Furries are just so boring to me.
-Inconsequential digestion. I mean stuff like digestion that happens really fast and leaves nothing left inside the pred's gut, adds nothing to their weight, and/or leaves them with a flat belly. Digestion should be a reward. It should be pleasurable. For it to happen so fast and leave things like the prey was never there kills the appeal for me.
-Micro/Macro. A ball with a comparatively small body attached to it isn't hot to me.
-Genital vore and breast vore. I do not find dicks, vaginas, or nipples hot at all, so them being the focus of vore doesn't interest me. Cock vore especially, since it just gives me an uncomfortable feeling thinking about something going inside my urethra.
-?/f vore. Female prey in general is a borderline deal breaker for me, but if the scenario is good enough, I can ignore it. Not for ?/f, though, since the focus is ALWAYS on the prey. So I CAN'T ignore the fact that it's female prey, because that's ignoring the focus.
-"Only one sex can be pred" universes. Even if you don't like one gender of pred, you can just focus on the side that you do like. Don't throw one onto the street to make things unfair!
-On that topic, genderflipping a character just so they can be your preferred type of pred/prey. Especially aggravating when I'm just trying to find an as-is character and find the genderflipped version instead.
-Gueaa I should get the big three outta the way. *To the TMNT theme* Scat disposal, sex, watersports!
-Giantesses. I dunno what it is, but never liked em. Male giants are fine, though.
-I guess this isn't just a vore thing, but giving preds boobs when they normally shouldn't have them, such as animals, scalies, bird people, or characters who didn't have boobs in the first place yet are given them anyway while the character has no other further modifications.
-Nudity. I especially hate when bare nipples are put in the thumbnail, and especially ESPECIALLY hate when nudity isn't put in the tags. Fuuuuck both of these are stupidly common and I want people to cut that shit.

[cassie]

-Nudity. I especially hate when bare nipples are put in the thumbnail, and especially ESPECIALLY hate when nudity isn't put in the tags.

I post in the gallery and am guilty as charged. I do usually avoid explicit thumbnails and tag nudity, but not always, however if you'd prefer I can tag nudity more consistently.

[RhinoSalt]

Underage - inclusion in a piece of media forces me to consider if the creator is worth viewing anymore. The fact that it's allowed on this site with complete approval almost made me leave entirely.

[BloodReaper]

Frankly there is quite a bit I do not like but I simply avoid searches where those materials lay. Yes, it is annoying when something I do not wish to see crops up in a search thanks to tags either not working right or the author having forgot to add them or did not think to add them. However we are all human, all make mistakes and cannot be expected to remember everything all the time. Plus, while sometimes the content is obvious as to what it is, other times, with story and drawn art alike, it can be difficult to sort the subtle aspects in a piece and tag it appropriately especially if that was not on the creator's mind at all and rather was how someone interpreted it. We cannot control how someone else interprets our works when it comes to the undertones of things, some aspects are no different than looking at ink blots. Where one sees a butterfly someone else sees two people facing one another. Sometimes things slip, creators not even realizing something inadvertently weaseled it's way in there in the background but to someone who does not like such things this becomes glaringly obvious to them and understandably puts them off and makes them feel as if the creator did not tag the work correctly.

All in all I look at it this way, people are welcome to do what they want so long as it remains in fantasy only not hurting anyone irl, and just as I will not shame someone for liking what they like I expect the same in return.

When it comes to rping I have my list clearly stated as to what I am more than happy to do, like to do, am unsure of/neutral on/want to try, to absolutely not-do not ask me about this. If someone fails to read this, that is on them, not me. I put it out there for all to see and just as I will respect other people's limits I expect the same in return. This is why I like discussion before hand to avoid possible future issues and for either of us to have time to voice something we might not have thought of originally so we can sort it before accidentally upsetting one another in the rp.

Goodness, after reading these I never realized how picky we all are!

We are really picky, and even flexible at times

[Base54]

This is an odd one: disregard for powerscaling. And by this, I mean when a predator successfully eats an unwilling prey that's canonically stronger than them who hasn't been nerfed in some way. I watch a lot of Death Battle and am in a lot of BattleBoarding Circles, circles where power levels and feats are discussed on a regular basis, and this bleeds into my interests in Vore. If I see a character eat an unwilling prey that, in all honesty, should erase the character from existence just by sneezing, it immediately takes me out of the experience. The work around this is to have the stronger character be nerfed, and it doesn't have to be particularly clever either, it just has to explain why the stronger character doesn't end the weaker character in a heartbeat.

Another dealbreaker, one that's a lot more common, is Macro/Micro. This is odd for me since, when I first started liking Vore, I liked Giantesses, and that was probably the best way to get me to click. But now, my tastes have shifted and I've become enamored with big bellies and great weight gain, both of which are pretty hard to do with Macro/Micro unless you use Mass Vore, which is another little dealbreaker for me.

[whizbang18]

Dealbreakers for me:

1. Hard Vore/Blood: Anything that involves shredding flesh, drawing blood, or otherwise causing injuries or shredding the prey into bloody bits is a complete and utter dealbreaker for me. There's nothing remotely satisfying about seeing prey get put through some kind of woodchipper and bloody shreds spat out the other end. Hard vore is a complete and utter turn off for me. I don't feel turned on by Sofia Vergara being pulled down the drain by the Blob (1988), Salma Hayek being crushed by a 300-mph bullet train, or Michelle Rodriguez getting shredded by a cloud of bullets by enemy soldiers. This kind of stuff is an utter turn off. To me, it's equivalent to being turned on by the D-Day invasion scene from "Saving Private Ryan" especially the infamous "Mama" scene during the invasion scene. Hard vore and anything involving blood and/or injuries is a complete no-no for me.

2. Underage/Child: I'm at a complete loss for words as to how enraged and angry this bullshit makes me. Do you even have any fucking idea how FUCKING illegal this shit is?! Do you?! YOU NEED TO REMOVE THIS STUFF FROM YOUR SITE PRONTO! I don't know who the fuck thought it was a good idea to allow this but this shit makes me sick to the center of my soul! This is borderline CP (I refuse to say the actual name) and it's straight out illegal and extremely TABOO. All material involving this needs to be removed because in many countries, offenders who've possessed this stuff have been subjected to severe legal penalties including decades in prison, shunning by the general community, and even murder by other prisoners. Not to mention being required to register as a sex offender! For God's sake, remove all 'underage', 'child', and other tags involving underage characters from your site and get rid of all artworks involving this from your site immediately! This shit makes me sick and angry. You are playing with fire with this sick stuff and if the wrong person sees this, you risk a major legal storm, not to mention prison time and your site being seized and shut down! It's the primary reason why I've never posted any vore artwork here as of this writing. It makes me want to punch every fucker that puts this kind of stuff up right in the fucking face.

3. Unbirth: For some odd reason, I've never been turned on by unbirth. I don't see it as a 'dealbreaker' as the previous two but when I see 'unbirth', I've simply shrugged my shoulders and skipped them. They just don't interest me for some odd reason. Maybe it's just I see the vagina as a one-way exit (birth) and that's that. Just not my cup of tea, that's all.

4. Scat/Fart/Pooping: I'm sorry but this is also a major turn off for me, even though I'm aware that somehow, the prey, even if transformed into some kind of 'product' has to come out somehow in some way. For me, the only forms that turn me on is if the predator is a male, the prey is turned into non-sentient semen and ejaculated in a mass ejaculation. If the pred is female, the male victim is digested inside her, turned into milk and then squirted out her nipples and down the drain. Those are the only 'disposal' scenes that I find a turn on. All others are a huge turn off, mostly because of the odor real-life waste creates. There's a reason when I use the john, I spray bleach spray around the edge of the bowl and seat after I'm done, and turn the ventilation fan on max for a half hour afterwards.

5. Futa: I'm sorry but there's nothing I find appealing about women having large breast AND dick where a vagina should be. Unless there's some kind of biological event where she's in the process of transforming into a male, or vice versa, the idea of a women having a penis where there should be a vagine is a turn off for me. If the predator has a dick, it should be a MAN, PERIOD!

[ShadowWolfofPhantom]

Futa: I'm sorry but there's nothing I find appealing about women having large breast AND a dick, where a vagina should be

Agree to an extent, I enjoy Futa, but the pred in question has to have a more slender, fit, sylphlike body. And look kinda "Manish" if you will. More or less like a 'butch' if you will. And it helps if they're smaller than their prey. Voluptuous and buxom women with futa cock doesn't work for me.
