I wavered a bit between “no vore” and “only with weight gain.” In general, I relate to what firesoul10 said about vore as an expression of an insatiable appetite; in that way, I can see it as a natural fit for certain weight gain stories. However, there are a lot of different flavors of vore, and some of them are pretty unpalatable for me.
- For starters, almost any vore involving other orifices (anal vore, unbirthing, etc.) is an automatic hard pass for me. Even the ones not involving the genital area would be going pretty far into body horror territory and away from fatty fun times.
- Then there’s the distinction between “soft” and “hard” (violent) vore. Graphic images or descriptions of the victim being chewed up into bloody bits are not my idea of a fun time. Maybe if they were played for horror and not too graphic, I could stomach a bit of it, but I’d still much prefer to avoid it.
- And finally, there’s the question of victims who remain alive (at least for a while) after being eaten. Stuff like visible kicking, squirming, and hand impressions doesn’t bother me as much as gratuitous blood and guts, but it still feels like something out of a horror movie to me. If the victim is supposed to make some sort of miraculous escape, then I might not mind it too much, but generally speaking, the thought of the victim slowly suffocating or being digested is a downer for me.
TL;DR: If there’s going to be vore, I would prefer for it to be an accompaniment to weight gain, and I’d be more comfortable if the victim were swallowed whole via mouth and then never heard from again.
