it would be cool if this were to get finished sometime :)

NOOO THE POOR PONE
 
I still don’t get vore, but whatevs. I like mind control, where the subject literally can’t do anything whilst they’re molested. Keke…

@Sky_Wolf  
As someone that loves vore, I agree with them. I love soft vore because it’s cute at times, there is little to no harm done to the prey, and they can live, that’s part of a cartoon life.
 
Hard vore on the other hand, I don’t understand why do the small group minority of it get turned on seeing their favorite adorable ponies slowly die or get killed painfully, that turns me and so many I know off.
 
When I wanna look up vore, last thing I wanna see is rarity in pieces as rainbow dash laughs evily. Plus mixing something in real life like hard vore into a kid friendly show doesn’t mix. Sure there’s the r34 stuff like sex, but that stuff can happen behind cameras, plus they aren’t dead, once dead, they can never ever come back to life.
 
That’s just my two cents and opinion, so if you get mad at me for sharing, then oh well, I like speaking out

Comments tangentially-related to the image.

@Blissey1  
Maybe you are right.  
Though in my opinion it is much easier to explain something real and natural than a fantastic\imaginary quirk. Though chances are that he won’t like it since it is not that popular. So both approaches have their pros and cons =P  
PS: I never intended to explain anything. I was just trying to fix a misconception that vore can be only imaginary =)

@Sky_Wolf  
it’s simply that this whole argument was started by someone asking us to explain the appeal of vore, and for someone who does not understand the fetish, trying to explain hardvore to them is probably the worst possible way to go about it.

@Blissey1  
Then what is the main factor for the “majority”?
 
Besides, all this measuring of majority/minority is plain stupidity. Just because there are more folks who like soft stuff doesn’t mean that your “world view” is better than ours and that you can neglect us  
(That is the impression I’m getting from your messages).
 
I may not like soft vore, but I don’t go writing snarky comments all around the place.  
Cos voephiles are the absolute minority of all people, so what, they and their views can be marked as “not important for the vast majority of people” and passed off?

@Sky_Wolf  

 
well for the vast majority of vorephiles it is just imaginary.
 

 
that is but one aspect of the appeal of vore, and you’d be hard pressed to argue that it’s the main appeal for “the majority” of vorephiles. You may mean ot say it’s the main appeal for those into hard vore. Which you seem to be. Which are the minority.

@Background Pony #9A3A  
>Stop generalizing based on the minority. If this fetish bugs you so much, filter it.
 
It doesn’t bug me at all. In fact, I always prefer this “minority” to the opposed “majority” of the fandom.  
I was just trying to show that it is pretty much real and not so imaginary as Kappe and Blissey1 stated.
 
And I don’t agree with you on the reasoning behind vore. As far as I know, the most appealing factor in this type of stuff for the majority of people is complete and utter submission. When you are prey in hard vore \ digestion scenario you are basically nothing but food for someone else, you are at their complete disposal.  
So it is not anticipation of death but rather the way of death itself. Not pleasant from physical point of view for most but for some it is exciting and interesting from mental \ spiritual side.

@ClockSpiral  
>There is a whole lot of folks that do this thing in anticipation of ceasing to be
 
And they are a tiny minority of voreaphiles. Stop ignorantly judging and generalizing.
 
@Sky_Wolf  
>there are some fetishes connected to vore practiced IRL
 
And again, they are a tiny minority.
 
Seriously, I’ve been in various vore communities through the years, and “hard vore” is always the minority. Stop generalizing based on the minority. If this fetish bugs you so much, filter it.

@Sky_Wolf  
Plus hard vore exists IRL. Just search Youtube or other sites for “X eats Y”, you can find bugs eating bugs, lions\hyenas\other eating zebras\giraffes\humans\other and so on. Easy.  
And this is only a small portion of such content since most of it can’t be found through search engines. So yeah… pretty much real if you ask me.
 
And it’s not always voluntary, you know. In hard vore\digestion a predator-prey scheme is quite popular… my favorite too =P

@Blissey1  
@Zack
 
As far as I know there are some fetishes connected to vore practiced IRL.
 
YOU MIGHT WANNA STOP READING THIS OR ELSE YOUR SANITY WILL GET SEVERELY COMPROMISED!
 
For example, there is a fetish called “formicophilia”. I don’t know all that much about it but some “hardcore” fans regularly let different bugs eat them for awhile (which sometimes leads to irreparable damage).  
And there might be more I’m not aware of.
 
END OF WARNING =)
 
So yeah, not only fictional.  
As for hard vore and digestion, there is a number of reasons why a person might like it solely on psychological level, just browse some previous posts or google it, it has been discussed before. Personally I love it. And I hate soft vore because it is unrealistic and stupid. (I like only those pictures that look “ok” from the logical point of view).
 
The reasoning is that hard vore\digestion almost always looks good since it is what SUPPOSED to happen instead of “I’ll just be swallowed through this waaaaay too small month IN ONE PIECE and lie without any air inside somehow not lethal and non-hostile environment which is SO DAMN COZY and BIG (despite that it is not)” stuff.

@Zack  
This issue has been rehashed and beaten to death many times before.
 
It’s a fetish. You’re supposed to be confused and baffled unless you have it.

@Background Pony #9A3A  
Like you ignorantly stated that I am a negative impact on vore fetishists? I’m just merely pointing out its obvious misinterpretations and reflecting on real people out there who would really want to do this sort of thing. It’s understandable if it’s fictional… but it’s still an unnatural thing for someone to be doing such stuff. It’s like you love watching others being digested and killed off (talking about hard vore not soft), and you wish you we’re in their place too. Imagine if you we’re eaten alive by a real predator. Would you still like it, knowing full well you’ll be digested soon and die? But hey, I’m not scolding anyone here, I am just merely confused and baffled at how people find this… exhilarating.

@Background Pony #9A3A  
Whereas I’m one fer this sort of thing, I do see his point.  
There is a whole lot of folks that do this thing in anticipation of ceasing to be…. to use this last explosion of pleasure as a final moment in their life.
 
It’s this reason that I don’t typically go about saying i’m into this. I’m personally more for the action and the thought that they can get out later.  
Unharmed.  
Much.

@Background Pony #9A3A  
no offense 9a3a, but this is thought of someone disturbed

@Zack
 
@Background Pony #9A3A and @Kappe pretty much have it. Vore is a fetish that only works because it’s entirely fictional. yes, there is often pain and death involved, but it’s not real, so that’s okay.
 
I can tell you with some certainty that if any given vorephile were to see someone getting eaten by a giant snake IRL, they would freak the fuck out just like anyone else.

@Zack  
Oh look, yet another person horribly misunderstanding an idealized sexual fetish.
 
The way you’re thinking can be applied to ANY fetish. Literally any fetish can have your kind of “no-fun-allowed” realism applied to it, to turn it into something bad.
 
Vore is not about death or pain or suicide. Do some research before ignorantly judging others.

Wow, this looks very promising!

@Zack  
Well, we can start with the fact that vore is not a fetish that is practiced IRL.

@Blissey1  
Why do people like being eaten? Let alone being chomped, digested and turned into waste? Why do they throw away their lives to obtain an idiotic kink? Does experiencing a horrific pain that slowly kills you that worth of a one-time pleasure? And is ruining your precious body by turning into shit, a fine example of a disgusting pile of nothingness, your only desire? To me… I think vore fetishes (Except soft ones that safely and cleanly escapes the person) are like suicides… which sounds so wrong.

I can almost hear Steve Irwin narrating this.

@UnicronX  
nobody likes vore at first. Or at least, they don’t know that they like vore.
 
but then you find that one image…

I don’t even like vore
 

 
 
I like this, I really like this, why?
