Why did I have to develop such a dark fetish?
15 years ago
I don't know exactly what to say; I've never felt so horrible or guilty about my fetish before. When I imagine it, no one suffers. The prey might not exactly like it, they might be afraid, but in the end, the predator gets sensual pleasure and sustenance, the prey either dies painlessly (and is non-sentient) or doesn't die at all, it's completely fine. But being reminded that there are people, vorarephiles like me, who not only incorporate horrible, painful death into it, but actually enjoy it... it makes me want to kill myself. Some of my favorite artists and animators have turned out to be like this, and when I find out, I usually get so overwhelmed with emotion I make an idiot of myself, but... I'm not angry at them, I guess, I'm not in any position to judge them, but it just hurts me, so much, to think about how close I am to that. It makes me want to curl up on my bed and cry. It completely kills my desire to stimulate myself in that way ever again.
Even so, I don't think I can give up vore, and I really don't want to, and if one of those animators makes another animation, I'm probably going to view it, and end up feeling horrible all over again. I don't know what to do.

Just because other people do something horrible doesn't mean that you have to follow their example: Quite the contrary in fact! This is your chance to prove to the world and yourself that you are better then them!
If I were you, I would get all the tears out of my system, then give the bastards a piece of my mind.
Whatever the weather, NEVER allow people to get you down, because ultimately, the person in control of your life is YOU.
It is possible for a fetish to get so out of control that it inhibits your ability to function in society, but unless it reaches that point, they are harmless. Don't worry about the imaginary creature that just got raped and swallowed whole by the giant wolverine. It's just a fantasy, and unless you start throwing people into the giant wolverine pit it will stay one. 83
Now, generally I avoid content that generally bothers my view of things I like. Easiest way. And also, just because one person views a picture one way, doesn't mean you can't imagine it another. This generally helps ease my tension when I see in descriptions of an obvious death with no return. I think of an alternate or continuation to change it.
Lastly, just because you share a slightly similar interest, does not mean your exactly like them and are put in with that group. The words 'vore is murder' always egg at me and bother me to no end. But what they don't realize is that vore doesn't always result in death. They shouldn't judge, and you shouldn't judge yourself.
You like what you like. No one can change that but you. No one can tell you otherwise but you.
In my opinion, vore isn't a dark fetish. There are tons of darker things that can never be safe or pleasant to the eye.
Personally, as a prey vorarephile, I keep my fetish confined to fantasy as much as possible. The closest I get to real life with my fetish is in collecting news reports and nature documentary footage, as the filmers are supposedly merely observing and not instigating. I tend to steer well clear of videos of people feeding living things to their pets, which can stray into acts of decided cruelty. There's no way I'm going to try getting eaten in real life; I'd almost certainly die horribly.
Always remember, it's not your urges which define you, but your choices, and even if you've made poor choices in the past, you can always make better choices now. Choosing to kill yourself is rarely a better choice.
Vore ISN'T a 'dark' fetish, it, like most expansive things, has a broad spectrum and there are extreme's at both ends, it's why theres a subsection called Hard Vore, specifically for one extreme, just as Eka's has created Super Soft vore (or something) to cater to the other extreme, people who climb into a belly like it's a sleeping bag or a cuddle.
You like Vore, clearly you dislike an aspect of the mentality and digestion, Neither have to be part of vore, Just because you eat something doesn't mean you have to think about it being digested (do you really register that a drink of squash is digested and broken down in your stomach?)
There are people who enjoy the cruel aspect of vore, and they are voraphilles, but they are NOT voraphiles LIKE YOU as you've shown, they are a completely different brand of voraphille and theres no reason you should feel bad for what they like, or should be grouped in the same area.
Vore is like Sex, it covers a collossal radius, Sex reffers to male/female intercourse, however it also reffers to sex with a minor, unconsensual sex, sex with an unknowing person, all come under the term sex, but just because you like the pleasant sex and others like the pedophillic sex, doesn't mean you are seen, or should view yourself as the same for liking Sex.
Also, vore really isn't a dark fetish, by very nature it's totally fantasy, so can never translate into real life, limiting it's 'darkness' especially when compared to other fetishes, Torture, Extreme Bondage, Ball Torture, Trampling, Rape (yes folks, people pretend to rape each other) and of course, Snuff.
Vore is different and widespread, don't let a small, different section of it get you down, just focus on what you like, and accept it as who you are
