Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Vorarephilia

There are very few, if any, resources available for one to look up & research vore. This means that others that do not understand will depend on your information provided here to get an understanding. For you to label Vore along with its fetish counterpart "Voreraphillia", would be the same as directing all inquiries of feet to "Footfetish"; individuals who love blood and gory movies would be automatically labeled "Masochist, or saddist". They may not like snuff films, but love Friday the 13th or Nightmare on Elm Street.

Should we then label magazines showing off feet for pedicure products and sandals as Fetish publications? movies involving kidnappings and hostages fall under "Bondage"? The meaning of Vore is no different. example, how about the national geographics, and Animal Planet episodes depicting a snake eating a rabbit whole? Does this mean that PBS, the Learning Channel & educational television condone the broadcasting of TV shows to Jerk off to?

YouTube is probably the most mainstream outlet currently depicting all facids of vore. If you look it up there, you'll see episodes of the muppet show where Ms. Piggy was eaten by an alien, scenes from cartoons, video games, children's movies & Books, even commercials. Do you really think these organizations would intentionally create childrens material designed for people to masterbate to while watching? Of course not. This factor alone should be concrete enough evidence to show that vore in itself is NOT A FETISH.

Classifying these commonly accepted and harmless acts as Fetish will implicate all vore material as sexually deviant. Altering the perception of vore falsely will ultimately sway public opinion of any works related as inappropriate, thus causing the unecessary CENSURING of good entertaining material.

For the record, I do realize that there are many depictions of vore that are truely sexually driven in nature and fetish intended, just as there are perversions of about anything you could think of, from arm pit fetishes to boot licking. These, however, do NOT represent the general meaning of vore.

I strongly feel that the definition of Vore remains as the process of devouring something whole, and nothing more. This has always been its meaning. Voraphilliacs use the term Vore to describe what turns them on. The way one fetishist may say "I'm in to FEET", a voraphilliac may say "I'm in to Vore". Vore isn't the fetish. the Fetish lies in the person that appreciates the vore act for sexual gratification. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Reddmann (talk • contribs)
