Yikes...I'm guessing that they're hoping most people don't know what that means, and the only people who do are part of the community. But obviously the first thing they're going to do is Google it.

Ugh. I hate that I know this, but vore is split into two groups. Soft which is usually about swallowing someone whole or being swallowed whole with no bloodshed and hard which involves teeth and chewing and stuff. :eng101: :negative:

Thankfully, almost all vorephiles are just about the 'fantasy' and fanfic. There's been like 2-3 cases worldwide where cannibal victims have been vore fans.

I used to work with a vorephile and he was odd but harmless (at least, physically, dealing with him was often mentally traumatic, and he was a furry as well, they often are)

99.99% of the time, the answer to "how does anyone engage in this bizarre and outlandish fetish" is "via fiction and imagination."

It often differentiates itself from a very similar fetish, guro, by specifically having the victim be swallowed whole, alive and completely aware, rather than mutilated and prepared as a meal.

I can say with absolute certainty that I have stared into the abyss and it does indeed stare back. :negative:

Fibromyalgia. I worked with someone who "had" it, and they were bullshitting like mad. Anxiety is just the most common, not really easy to fake. I mean, I've seen people try to fake it, but it was never convincing. People tend to oversell pain and suck at faking emotions, really.

Also, here's my cousin turning me saying "hey, holiday weekends are gonna be understaffed" into a "drat millenals" thing. I'm Sal Ami, she's Greta Life.

Yeah, it's really hard to fake an anxiety attack. Even if you suffer from anxiety yourself.

That said, fibro/CFS/PVFS/post-Lyme are very controversial. It probably does exist, to an extent, but if you imply that some people who claim to have it don't, you'll get death threats. Seriously.

Or this, basically.

So, sort of like how DID (AKA Multiple Personality Disorder, even though that's pretty much agreed by experts to be a misnomer) has been coming under fire relatively recently over whether it's a real disorder, or just a branch/mix of an already existing one(s)? I admittedly only have a limited ("tail-end of Intro to Psych" limited) knowledge of the issue, but the quick bit of research I had to do for it gave me a similar impression: probably has at least a grain of truth to it, but internet personalities who claim to have it tend to get wildly defensive, even if though their perception of the symptoms of DID tend to be the pop culture version of it, and not the actual, clinically diagnosed version.

Very annoyingly, it seems that a lot of people lump all autoimmune diseases in with this.

Godzilla came out in the 50's and assuming her kids are age 18-20... :psyduck:

It's not like it was something super nerdy or niche, Godzilla was pretty huge and I wonder how she got through life not seeing a single Godzilla reference and connecting the dots.

... Also Godzilla is on every single movie poster in the theater. Sometimes just his tail, but pretty clearly not a gorilla, or anything that doesn't have reptile skin.

Similarly, this happened on my Facebook:



Some backstory: I've been reading the Twilight books by Stephanie Meyer for the first time, out of curiosity of how bad they really are (I did the same for the Clan of the Cave Bear books years ago). Occasionally I will make snarky comments about it, so the people on my Facebook know I've been reading the books. I've only seen the first movie, so I've never mentioned the movies at all.

Orange is a fan of the Twilight books and harbors some hope that I will turn around and like the books (I just misunderstand Edward, you see, and how the vampire world is). When she said "Whaaaaat?!" I thought she was surprised that the Twilight Zone was on; maybe thinking it was on TV or something. That's why I, in Red, replied the way I did about it being on Netflix. I was confused by her reply to that and it was only after a friend of mine told me that Orange had said to her that day, "bean_shadow is at home watching the Twilight movies! I knew she'd like them!" that I understood that she seriously thought I was watching the Twilight movies and not The Twilight Zone, which she apparently has never heard of (she's in her forties). I'm not sure what she thought the picture of Rod Serling meant, or what I meant when I said "Season One".
