'''Vore''' is one of the more prominent of fetishes seen on [[/d/]]. At its core, it's a sexual fetish about [[Cannibalism|people either eating each other whole]] or being eaten alive by animals, monsters, [[Furries]] or what have you.

...Yes, this is a real thing.  Hell, it's so mainstream (within /d/) that not only are there usually multiple threads dedicated to ''specific niches'' of the vore fetish on /d/ at any given time, but that [[8chan]] had a ''whole board dedicated to vore'' before they got [[meme|vanned]].  This came about after ''their'' version of /d/ was so inundated with vorefags it decided to tell them all to piss off somewhere else (the same way that /d/ was created to tell the futafags to piss off somewhere else)!  So great is the popularity of vore that thinly veiled vore threads often insidiously sneak their way onto [[/tg/]].

Now, you're probably wondering '''why''' vorefags come to /tg/ of all places?   Well, this is not a kink that is possible to engage in, for obvious reasons, in real life.  (Legally, anyway, in the case of the stuff that's more inclined towards cooking and eating rather than "just" swallowing whole.) So, vore fetishists are invariably attracted to roleplay, like many paraphilics before them.  And since they already engage in [[ERP]] on the regular, branching out into more normal (and less sticky) forms of roleplay is a fairly common practice.  It doesn't help that most fantasy games are actually very compatible with the vorefag's [[magical realm]].  For creature-vore lovers, there's all manner of monsters to threaten to (or succeed at) devouring their players - especially monsters with the [[Swallow Whole]] special attack.  In a little game called [[Dungeons & Dragons]] (and more obliquely, in [[Pathfinder]]), the [[Dragon]]s in the title are a great example of just such a creature!  For non-creature vorefags, the abundance of [[magic]] and fantastical playable races means they can easily work vore into their games, with more first-party rules to work with than ''actually [[Heterosexual Sex in the Missionary Position|having vanilla sex]]''.  Hell, vorefags have literally written [[netbook]]s all about playing their magical realm at the table!  [[FAPP]] has a character class that ''specializes in vore''!

Not even [[Warhammer 40000]], long considered one of the backbones of /tg/, is free of their slimy touch.  Indeed, the [[Tyranid]] faction draws them like iron filings to a magnet, since not only is their entire faction themed around consuming all life, they readily support that theme with units capable of swallowing enemy models whole in battlefield, and even official fluff stating that even the lowly Gaunt strain is capable of swallowing a human whole, if presented with sufficient safety, time and opportunity to do so.  As [[Slaanesh]] officially has "Gluttony" as one of its sub-aspects, a vore-themed Chaos Champion would actually be legitimate (if magical realmy) - and there are references to Slaaneshi rites featuring cannibalism in canon.  Then there's the canonical [[Callidus]] [[Assassin]] historical figure "Mother Gullet", who earned fame/infamy by swallowing a would-be rebellious governor's beloved infant son whole and escaping with him - although, ironically, the 8e reprint of the Codex: Assassins book would clarify that she actually spat the boy out once she was safely away and he was returned once the governor fell back in line, whereas earlier versions of the story had left it ambiguous if she'd digested him or not.  And then there's what the ''really'' crazy fans get up to - case in point, the "fanart" above, which was created by one fan to embody their idea for a minor militant order of the [[Sisters of Battle]] nicknamed "The Sisters of Gurgle", who commit vore "FOR THE EMPEROR!".

As a result of all this, whenever a monster or [[monstergirl]] thread starts on /tg/ that revolves around a creature with a prominent fandom in the vore community, you should soon expect vorefags to sneak in and start gushing about their approval for such things.  This is particularly true of threads about [[dragon]]s, [[giant]]s, [[sphinx]]es and [[lamia]]s - or lamia-kin, such as [[naga]]s, [[marilith]]s and [[lillend]]i.  The proper way to deal with vorefags on /tg/, as with all unapproved fetishes, is as follows:
# Identify anons who ask for specific scenes or stories which contain vore in already-lewd threads (monstergirls et al.).
# Call them out for dragging a thread into their magical realm, and tell them to shut up or go back to /d/.
# if things escalate, mods or janitors may be required to lock threads down and ban posters.
