Another night of being able to sleep through the battle of Kursk in the next room and a bit afterwards I am *very awake*.
And looking at FA with my now I'm awake, sometimes I feel like the only person in furry fandom who doesn't have a vore kink.
@anthracite @Leucrotta I mean it isn't everyone's taste, some of us have an appetite for it and others do not. Plenty of other things to sink your teeth into that are much more palatable. ^^
@Veladynee @anthracite aside from groaning at the puns; it's not a squick for me, it's just there. When I think about it, I think that fits into the way I'm some odd variety of gray ace.
Having grown up with "you are bad and wrong for not liking X thing that everyone likes," there's always a part of my response to "everyone seems to like X" which is "what's wrong with me that I don't like X?"
@Leucrotta @Veladynee @anthracite
I mean, I don't think I'm likely to be convinced that there is something odd or unusual about *not* wanting to eat your friends alive.
response got sort of long
@kistaro there's the thing where people place value judgments on popular stuff; "Everyone else likes X, but I don't like X. The simple and dualistic way to view things are either that I'm fundamentally flawed, or X is objectively bad." I don't have a particularly robust sense of self worth, and "X is objectively bad" is a gross way to look at the world (even though I *do* indulge in that sometimes), and not really applicable here (vore isn't gross or objectionable to me).
Maybe it's just that my response to "X is popular, I don't like X, and I now am trying to figure out where to go emotionally with that now that I'm not going the dualism route."
same, I am not repulsed by vore the way I am repulsed by, say, excrement play, I just... am unmoved. Your Kink Is Not My Kink But Your Kink Is Okay, But I Am Kind Of Tired Of How Ubiquitous Your Kink Has Become Lately In This Fandom.
This too shall pass, I suppose. *shrug*
@Leucrotta @Veladynee @anthracite As someone who is really into it you absolutely do /not/ have to be really into it and there is nothing wrong with you!
@Leucrotta @Veladynee @anthracite ...heck, a bunch of other people's kinks are /flat-out triggers/ for me. Just not liking one? Totally normal.
I mean.
I don't like /sex/. :3
@Leucrotta
Ugh I’ve been feeling that way too, I am so not into vore and it is so ubiquitous.
