The examples were not of male preds but of "female characters that are cute yet embody something slightly off colour and make it work" or something like that. I'm not quite sure what that all even means. And if it really means just a hot female pred representing something off colour and making it work, I'd disagree and I'm not much of a female pred type of person. though I have a soft spot for F/F being pan... still prefer male preds though.
but quick thing about Christian grey and "those books". What makes them blegh is more of the normalizing/making excuses for absuive behavior. like say its BDSM when BDSM has rules and stuff. BDSM is not the actual terrorizing of another and doesn't involve kidnapping either.. at least.. wasn't the main chick kidnapped. well, there are stories that are about kidnappers and the abducted falling for them and being used sexually by them blah blah... so even if it doesn't apply to the Christian Grey series. it applies to other normalization/fetishizing of realistic abusive relationships.
This is a site about vore though. I mean. Press on spoiler to read rest. or just read the recap at the end. whatever. they are probably the same length. as I suddenly remembered things I wanted to say during the recap soo.... yeah.....
p.s. bolded the most important of stuffs. Let's face it. If you are gonna apply Christian Grey to vore then any sort of unwilling vore would be an issue. no matter the sexes of the pred and prey as it would be the strong forcing an intimate act upon the weak... and sometimes it involves fatality... so yeah... any sorta snark that implies about a lack of morality doesn't belong here. I know it can be hard to ignore some things if it really hits your sensibilities hard. like I recently read a vore story that made me so uncomfortable and upset I almost went NOPE to this whole site (it involved the death of a kid. graphic death...)... and I was really tempted to asked how the hell anyone finds that sexy... but I kept my mouth shut (sorta. I said something now. but didn't give enough details to totally give it away... unfortunately - at least unfortunately imo - there is more than a couple fatal vore things with underage prey soooo... *shrug*... hopefully no one will put two and two together and even if they do I'm not gonna confirm it. or deny it. just ignore. but yeah...
point is... vore is unrealistic. though closest real vore thing is feeding snakes those huge ass rats and cannibalism (the latter is illegal and and terrible crime pls don't do that)... for the most part... the vore fantasy has a lot of unrealistic qualities. could be the fact it involves furries in some people's instances. or monsters. or monster/human hybrids or kemonimimi (sp?), etc, ete. could be adding a the micro/macro|g/t|or even halfsize is kinda realistic (if we are talking about adult/adult and for the sake of my sanity assume that in the instance of this post please).... could be the soft vore aspect... could be the stomach becoming so bloated it creates a noticable bulge in pred and the pred isn't dead or needing to go to the hospital aspect... there's just a whole lotta aspects that just don't play out in the real world (thank gawd, sorry to anyone who disagrees, but I gotta say it's a good thing this sorta fantasy is just a fantasy...).
Therefore, I can say that as someone whom is somewhat of a human rights activist irl and identifies as a feminist and all that jazz, as long as someone like... doesn't let themselves be abused in real life.... and has some sort of disconnect (though i get some people do not perhaps... Not gonna go into this further beyond trying to achieve at least some disconnect between real and fantasy is probably a healthy thing everyone should do no matter what the fantasy is)... there is nothing wrong with being a female into vore (whether observer, content creator, prey, and/or switch) and liking possessive, male preds. and there's nothing wrong with being a male into vore (content creator, observer. switch, and/or pred) and being into male, possessive preds doing idk whatever to female prey... same with all that but gayer (as in M/m... or F/f I guess... doesn't involve a possessive male pred but could involve a uncalled for abuse against women archetype kind thing)... but again.... this is vore. it ain't real. it s not ever gonna be real. cannibalism existing doesn't mean a damn thing when it comes to vore being real as vore is a fantasy. I mean sure, there are people who perhaps are a little too invested into it. people can get too invested in a interest or whatever to the point of being unhealthy all the time though.
So yeah. If male, possessive preds are your thing. fine. if they aren't. fine. but let's not devalue anyone's preferences or perhaps would could qualify is a subkink to their kink (vore).
Me personally. I like a broad amount of vore. I do NOT imagine myself in vore instances. And I'd be a horrified observer probably if I were truly "playing" myself" and not just showing my like for vore via my characters.. I just honestly feel the most comfortable using my characters rather than myself. I don't really RP anymore, but I p. much always stuck to characters. Heck, I've been the designated dude in most of the RPs I've been in lol. And I have ton more males OCs. Including a couple male preds. Not a single prey yet, female or male or non-binary, etc, etc... I gotta female forced observer though. if that counts. So I guess that is another aspect that counts... at for irl females who identify as prey or are an observer/creator of content in which iffy stuff happens to female prey - gonna disregard the pred's gender and sex with that point.... I could it also could be applied to gay male prey identifiers. basically anybody who is probably the "sub" of a relationship irl (or a switch. funnily enough I'm a switch irl but if I HAD to choose between pred, prey, or switch roles I'd be 100% prey.... if being a domme prey was a thing I wouldn't be opposed to that but I'm not sure if that is possible. I also would never do anything in which I would die. I was suicidal as a teen and I just can't/won't/will not play around with a my own fatality. nope. but if people are comfortable doing that. then they can. just like if they are willing to pretend they are in an actually loving, caring, romantic, though twisted sorta romantic relationship with a pred that would be nothing short of abusive translated into real life (but again. its not. its vore. vore aint real y'all), then that is fine too. as long as they are comfortable with it.
I think the bigger trouble is people who RP being somewhat forced to play roles they don't wanna or have situations change to outside their comfort zone with pressure to go along with it so on and so forth.... because ... I dunno... peer pressure can be hard for/on some people... that's nothing new or unusual. or even worse, at least imo, getting ht on via an internet DM or whatever. I don't get how people can just roleplay something kinda almost inherently intimate (maybe not sexual, but some sort of intimacy) with strangers on the Internet. and especially the sexual kinda intimate. I've done teasing (including vorish) teasing in the past in RPs... but I had known my RP partners for a while and they were all girls. I've only RP'd with a guy once and it wasn't fun :/. Had some not fun experiences with females too. I hate being pigeonholed into a role without much say. e.g, being told werebears weren't sexy enough. >_>... or being told they didn't like the name of my character and to use x name instead. oh. and they should look like *shows some piece of art or photo of a celebrity*. ugh. so yeah.
recap
(1)Vore was at least
originally a fetish. So
there should be no assumed morals in vore
(2)Vore is not real. It is fiction. Not reality. It will never be a reality and more than 9 out of 10 times there is something extremely fantasy-like in the vore cotnent (e.g. macro/micro or the magic stretch mouths/throats in soft oral vore that isn't an extreme size difference not to mention the magical stretchy tummies of all preds in general in pretty much any vore (in which a visible "food baby" bump suddenly appears. or forgot to mention this before buuuut, the concept that people actually retain a part of the things (or people, in vore's case lol) they eat for the rest of their lives. as Ron Swanson would say, "False". If we kept on fat from everything we ate, we'd be HUGE. all of us. no exceptions! eventually fat from x food gets replaced by fat from y food. cells die and get replaces. energy is used up as more is consumed. *sings the Circle of Life from the Lion King* . so yeah, the food (or prey in vore's case) probably would not be in the pred's body - if digested - all that long before no evidence of x food is left in the preds body. so yeah, not to be a killjoy but it does add to the separation between fantasy and reality so that's good... yeah? maybe? I dunno
)
(3)people are have preferences. each person is a different individual.
Each person has individual preferences that can and probably will differ from any other given person
(4)People have different comfort levels too and that is important.(5)One's effed up or risque or whatever fantasies doesn't reflect who they are as a person as long as they have the proper reality|fantasy boundaries upright and firm. It was they say/do IRL or to other RL people (so trolling on the internet is a bad reflection of oneself as that's still RL person interacting with RL person in a non-fantasy setting) that reflects who that person is as, well, a person
6)
50 Shades of Grey was bad cuz it normalized + fetishized realistic abusive situations and abused the use of the term BDSM (which again actually has rules). That is what made it problematic. At least imo.
A twisted male persona/or character is not something to be ashamed of (almost all stories need a villain after all) or compared to Christian Grey if in a more fantastical setting. Like, if one reads 50 Shades of Grey and wants to daydream about Christian Grey, whatever. But if they want to go and find a guy to dom her as shown in the 50 Shades of Grey books IRL and to have an IRL partner just like Christian Grey, there is gonna be trouble ahead for them.
7)I mean let's be honest...
girls who are even just the tiniest bit straight are notorious for liking aka crushin' on the main dude villains (or lady villians if gay/etc) in shows/etc that they like if said villains are even just remotely attractive. They could commit fictional genocide and they will still write trashy self-insert fanfiction about them. I bet guys do the same with lady villains. or dude villains if they're gay/etc...
So honestly, females, especially females whom identify as prey (or switches) liking possessive, perhaps even cruel male preds shouldn't be of a surprise to anyone. There are quite a lot of dudes into cruel female preds so yeah... that too....prey folk tend to be sub-ish and pred folk tend to be domm-ish. and switches and observers (or purely content creators) are more of a mixed bag...
So "Possessive Male Preds?" as a question like in the title of the thread?
the answer is "Yes."They
ain't for
everybody but they exist and they
aren't goin' anywhere.
Feel almost like a wrote a vore Ted Talk or something. Need to do something trashy or see/read something trashy now to bleach my brain of seriousness or whatever. I hate being serious :/ (damn. it's 1 am now. I really wanted to do Art too :/.... Now I feel I should try and sleep or something. But I'm kinda anxious for being so... I dunno... serious? IDK. >_<
