Vore Pet Peeves? And other things!
Posted by Metalforever 14 years ago
Hi, long time no post. So let me get straight to the point, I, like many people here have preferences on vore. But A while ago I noticed some things about the vore community that kind of tic me off, with little or no real reason. But none of this is an attack on anyone, just my opinion.
1. Probably my biggest pet peeve related to vore, Calling human on human hard vore... vore. To me it kind of seems boarderline cannablism. I cannot see how you can justify it, I guess the only difference is that vore is fantasy and cannablism is not, or atleast not intended to be.
2. Number 2, People who use "Vore" in this context as a verb and pronoun I guess... Example: "Hey bud you're one hawt vore, I'd like to vore you up you, you delicious vore you!" UGGGGhhhh I don't know why, just something about this.... Imagine if you used another fetish or better yet the older term for vore...Phagophilia, calling people phags...
3. Lastly the factioning amongst the vore community. Now contridicting myself about #1, this makes me dissapointed, people saying same-size vore sucks in a same-size vore thread, or people dissing male preds, or furries and non-furries ect ect ect....
Tell me about your vore related pet peeves, even if they include one about people ranting about theirs.
Ranting aside, now time for news, Things are going to be pretty slow, I am really cutting back on my computer time, so pictures will be less frequint for now, hopefullly in less then a month I will be back ontop of my game.

I definitely agree with that second one. As to cannibalism I've never really gotten the difference between it and hard vore, at least in the human on human sense.
Oh, I also think it's stupid when people use cannibal for something that eats people but is not itself human, when the term is used for something that eats its own kind.
Also, did the gods say to play it louder then hell? Then did you promise that you would?

Vocalizing one's dislike of a particular subject when it's uncalled for. Sorta like #3 up there... only it applies to everything, not just vore.
My biggest has to be people who try to "get" vore, or don't have the fetish, and ask how/why we like it. Fetishes can't really be explained to someone, you either have it or you don't.

When I hear "human/human hardvore", I see human prey getting eaten alive and there are lots of blood or mess. The human pred has something wild and feral. Prey is unwilling, struggles a lot.
However, when I hear "cannibalism" I see humans roasted on spits or cooked in a pot. Generally "clean" - without any visible blood or mess. The "prey" tend to be young females, while the "preds" are mundane or ugly males. Prey is not struggling much, as it is willing, somehow doesn't care, or is dead. In any case, prey tend to be dead before getting eaten. This is how the cannibalism fetish works, seems, at least online, and to me that has nothing to do with hardvore where blood and alive prey must be involved.
So while human/human hardvore technically is cannibalism by definition, it is different from the so-called cannibal fetish.
edit: actually, when thinking about it, also human/human *softvore* is technically cannibalism by definition.

Agreed entirley :V
I myself also have other little pet-peeves, though they could also be applied to things outside of Vore as well.
1. First up, everyone's problem, NetSpeak. It's fine if you're using it to speed up your chatting rate a bit, but using it IN an RP, or just using it *all the time* for no reason...It gets rather annoying, and sometimes it's even too hard to read in the first place! A little grammatical concideration can go a long way. You don't have to be Shakespeare to get past this peeve.
2. People who are extremely pushy about stuff, such as someone hounding you often wanting to RP or wanting you to eat them or something along those lines. I get this alot, being an artist (And a furry one no less), so it's a big peeve for me. It's even worse when these people who do such don't seem to consider the fact that they're not the only one hounding you either x_x Then they get all pissy as well and the situation doesn't exactly go down well.
3. Here's one that doesn't happen often, though it still make me wonder "Why?!". People who don't stop an RP OOCly when something happens that that more-or-less ruins the scene for them. Some of them either continue RPing without a word, trying to avoid said happening as best as possible (It's good to at least let the other person know when they've done something bad to the RP) or doing some Power-Gameish to try and "get around it" without giving the other person any reason why, which then usually turns the scene into one big e-peen contest.
Other than those, I can agree entirley on your points, especially your No.2 . The word "Vore" being used as a Verb...It doesn't make any sense at all, really. Heck, "eat" is even a letter shorter, and is more straight-forward than "Vore". If you ask someone to "vore" you, you could be meaning any of the miscellaneous types out there, not just Oral or Soft. I also agree with your No.3 as well, many people, both on and off these forums, need to learn the old saying "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all". It's a pretty simple rule to go buy, and you can still explain your opinion without being an asshat about it too.
Anyways, I'll leave it at that instead of continuing to rant-out your Blog

Except with number two, I agree. I write, "Vore" in laziness. It's slang to me, despite that I oppose slang in general. I know, I'm a hypocrite.
I should write a blog on my pet peeves on vore as well, but it will have more to do with stories than in general.
