Insert Joke About Fish Food Here

I am an adult. I enjoy adult things. I enjoy NSFW things. I enjoy vore as one of those things. And there has been one too many times that my adult interests (vore) have shared community spaces with minors.

Minors, listen up. And I am speaking to EVERYONE under the age of 18. I don't care if you turn 18 in the next hour, I'm talking to you.

There is no such thing as a SFW kink. There is no such thing as SFW vore. There is no such thing as safe for work kink or vore.

Can it be nonsexual? Yes, definitely. But it is still not sfw. IT IS STILL A KINK.

Even if you are interested in it sexually as a minor, you should NOT be interacting and communicating with the community. Engage with it from a distance. I'm well aware that minors can have kinks, I was a minor once myself, and I get it. But this isn't about kinkshaming, this is about actual child endangerment.

Not only are you putting yourself at risk of being harmed or groomed at worst, you're also putting us as adults in danger. There is genuine legal trouble that we can get into for allowing minors to engage with kink content such as this. Imagine if you, a hypothetical 13 year old (which is an actual age that I saw interacting with these blogs btw!), showed up to a BDSM club, DEMANDED entrance, and then whined about not being allowed in because it's "not sexual for you" and "just an artistic interest." Because that's what this is comparable to.

To the minors reading this, disengage with the public vore community. I'm not the only adult that is bothered by this. This is a GENUINE, ACTUAL ISSUE that SEVERAL other adult bloggers (even the nonsexual ones!) have brought up as an issue. I'm only speaking up about it myself because it's managed to cross paths into a very small fandom that I'm in. This is unacceptable behavior, and these kids need to be held accountable.

Tl;dr nonsexual kink is still a kink, and minors should not be engaging with vore content. If you're an adult vore blogger that allows minors to interact with you, you're fucking disgusting and I want you far away from me.

Before January 2025, download your favorite fics, especially those with smut or queer content.

If Project 2025 goes into effect (which it very likely will now that we have three red branches of government in the US), they may attempt to restrict the use/sharing of media on sites like ao3.

This particularly applies to fics with smut or any type of queer content, because the official Project 2025 document states, "Pornography, manifested today in the omnipresent propagation of transgender ideology and sexualization of children, for instance... has no claim to First Amendment protection... Pornography should be outlawed."

Now, I don't expect ao3 to disappear or go anywhere without a fight, but it's best to be on the safe side these days.

To download your favorite fics:

Go to archiveofourown.org and open the fic you want to download.

At the top right corner, to the right of the 'subscribe' button, is a button that says 'download'. Click it.

A drop-down menu will give you the option to choose the format of your download. Choose your preferred format (.epub and .pdf are my personal favorites -- .epub lets you open a fic in the apple books app and .pdf is compatible with like every device and program out there).

When you click the button for your preferred format, a pop-up window appears confirming your choices. The title of the document will default to the title of the fic, so be aware of that and consider changing conspicuous titles to something ignorable, especially if you share the computer.

You're done! Now do this with all your favorite fics!
