Y'all are participating in vore propaganda without knowing it
uhm from quick wikipedia search i found:
Vorarephilia (often shortened to vore) is a paraphilia characterized by the erotic desire to be consumed by, or to personally consume, another person or creature, or an erotic attraction to the process of eating in general practice.[1][2][3] Soft vore fantasies are separated from sexual fantasies of cannibalism, also referred to as "hard vore",[4] because the soft vore victim is normally swallowed alive and whole.[1] The word vorarephilia is derived from the Latin vorare (to "swallow" or "devour"), and Ancient Greek φιλία (philía, "love").
(wouldnt want to try out this kink irl tbh)
wait WTF it turns out hard vore is common among spiders?!?!!?
Sexual cannibalism is when an animal, usually the female, cannibalizes its mate prior to, during, or after copulation.[1] It is a trait observed in many arachnid orders, several insect and crustacean clades,[2] gastropods, and some snake species. Several hypotheses to explain this seemingly paradoxical behavior have been proposed. The adaptive foraging hypothesis,[3] aggressive spillover hypothesis[4] and mistaken identity hypothesis[5] are among the proposed hypotheses to explain how sexual cannibalism evolved. This behavior is believed to have evolved as a manifestation of sexual conflict, occurring when the reproductive interests of males and females differ.[6] In many species that exhibit sexual cannibalism, the female consumes the male upon detection. Females of cannibalistic species are generally hostile and unwilling to mate; thus many males of these species have developed adaptive behaviors to counteract female aggression.[7][8]
Prevalence
Sexual cannibalism is common among insects, arachnids and amphipods.[9] There is also evidence of sexual cannibalism in gastropods and copepods.[10] Sexual cannibalism is common among species with prominent sexual size dimorphism (SSD); extreme SSD likely drives this trait of sexual cannibalism in spiders.[11] It also sometimes occurs in some anacondas, especially the green anaconda (Eunectes murinus), where females are larger than the males.[12]
so uhm if this happens in nature its not that deranged after all right??
