Vore in The Amazing Digital Circus
a week ago
General
No, no, not just a character getting eaten like with the Gloink Queen or the Fudge. I mean an actual mention of the fetish itself.

It happened again! They used "vore" as the punchline for an "into some random weird-ass shit" joke! XD
Again, just as I said with the trailers to The Bad Guys 2 and Elio, I do not think there is a snowball's chance in Hell of vore ever becoming mainstream. I think the mainstream media went from regarding the furry fandom from "a weird-ass fetish" to "a thing that exists," that, as the furry fandom became more normalized, they all got additional exposure to all the subgroups within the fandom, and a bunch of people working in mainstream entertainment all decided that vore is one of the most hilariously random things for someone to be into.
And I'm alright with that... Because, honestly, that's kind of what I'm liking most about it too.

Aunno, it took basically my whole lifetime for furry to become mainstream, or rather understanding what furries are. Tho I guess the internet makes everything move faster so eh.
This one from SpongeBob, for example.
When I was a kid, the punchline was "gay." But humanity evolved beyond homophobia (for the most part), so they substituted "weird kink" for the punchline.
Which, for a while, included furry. Which mainstream never embraced -- just understood as something that's more harmless fun than kinky, and by extension, not really all that funny as a punchline.
But what is funny about the fandom is all the weird shit for which we have subcategories.
Honestly, if you went back ten years ago and told me that one of those subcategories would eventually become an often-used punchline, my money would have been on inflation. But I certainly don't mind that it's more and more looking like they landed on vore instead.
