I mean, being one of those unofficial "holidays" made up on the internet, I'd assume it's just that some of us want there to be a vore day, and who's going to stop us?
Me.
Common decency
Might as well ask why there's an inflation day.
And why is it every day continuously.
When else are we going to blow up our balloons?
On Helium Day, of course!
Curse the man who invented helium!
Fun fact -- his name was Liam.
Pierre Jules Cesar Janssen?
No -- Liam.
No one knew his last name, so when someone said "Who invented this gas?" someone pointed to the guy, and said "It was He -- Liam!" and that's how that gas got its name.
Because one day earlier is be-vore day.
I'll show myself out
Vore'o'ween?
what is vore
A genre of porn based around beings eating others/getting eaten/being shoved into some other orifice
Specifically all at once, while alive, in a somehow sexualized way. I'm pretty sure there's a distinct difference between Vore and Cannibalistic fetishes.
Does this “genre” only exist in cartoon form?
yes because it is physically impossible to eat someone whole without both of you dying
I'm going to need a peer reviewed source for this.
Check out r/sandycheekscockvore for more information. Thankfully, I think that's one of the subreddits that didn't get remade on Lemmy.
You really don’t want to know
Eight in Japanese is 八 which looks similar to katakana "ha" ハ and has the readings ハチ(hachi) ハツ(hatsu) や(ya) よう(you) Dates are usually written as 8月8日(8th month 8th day) though and the only onomatopoeia for stomach growling I can find is ごろごろ (gorogoro). Am I too stupid to get this? I can't see how the date 8/8 resembles the noise of a rumbling stomach
I guess in katakana "gorogoro" would be ゴロゴロ, which when written vertically in two lines would look vaguely like 8/8? Just guessing...
That took me a moment to visualize in my head but yeah that could be it!
If i had to guess, what they're most likely refering to isn't onomatopoeia, but it's pronunciation. Vore in Japanese is 「丸呑み」(swallow whole) which is pronounced as まるのみ and sounds like 「丸のみ」(only circles) .
Using this as a rule for the date, the digits must be composed of only circles, i.e. either 0 or 8. This leaves only ８月８日 which fits the criteria.
Just reading gorogoro made me hungry...
Should be 8/10... Eight-ten. Eaten.
But then Euro, American and Asian perverts would argue over if the 8 is the month or the day
I used to talk to a guy on IRC who was like one step above homeless, but he didn't want to get a real job, so he barely scraped by writing vore erotica on commission. If he wasn't such an asshole, I'd try to find out what happened to him and if he's still doing it because I know rule 34 and all, but are there more than like, I don't know, two people who are willing to pay some guy to write vore erotica for them on commission?
After GPT and stuff became a thing, probably not lol
my birthday is vore day
Is Tumblr still going on?
It's like Rome right before the fall of empire over there. Except the empire has been falling for 12 years now.
It's getting weird(er).
