DISCOURSE BELOW

Imma say a thing that has bugged me for a while now! We all know how some people don’t understand how vore can be non-sexual. I know I’ve gotten harassed about it before. But… for some reason, no-one attacks G/t in the same way? Let me be clear, I LOVE G/t AND WOULD NEVER WANT PEOPLE TO BE HARASSED ABOUT IT EVER AT ALL!! But it does bother me that the people who claim vore is 100% sexual are so hypocritical when it comes to G/t. Not at all that G/t peeps are the perpetrators. Just that non Gt/vore fans see (nonsexual) G/t content and are like AWW cute! I can totally see how that’s innocent. But they see vore, and they’re like THAT’S OBVIOSULY PORN. Despite the fact that BOTH genres 1) have a massive and somewhat notorious fetish base as well as a growing non-sexual base (as in, both COULD be accused of “some people see it as a fetish so all art of it is fap material!!” silliness), 2) involve body parts that have NO sexual purpose whatsoever (hands/mouths/stomachs/etc. And ANY part of the body can be a subject of someone’s fetish. That doesn’t mean it’s a sexual body part), 3) both have the potential for wonderfully emotionally complex stories and interactions, and 4) both show up regularly as tropes in non-sexual media, MOST often even in kids media!

TLDR;

Both G/t and vore: have both sexual and non-sexual communities, involve non-sexual body part interaction, have complex emotional and storytelling potential, and show up regularly in popular non-sexual media (especially children’s media).

And yet, non-sexual vore is widely attacked, and deemed as purely fetish material no matter the content, intent, or context.

(Also again, as a fellow G/t fan. This is NOT me saying thay G/t has it easy, or that G/t SHOULD be more harassed. Just me wishing that SFW vore could be at least on the level of less-harassment than G/t.)
