Reasons:

No-

"The reason Vore chars are now being tried is because of the "comparisons" between them and porn characters, which are an absolute no here."-TaurmegaTyrant's explanation

"

No, it has nothing to do with sex (mostly, but some forms of vore do involve...the naughty bits), but people count it as a fetish because there are others out there who fap to this kind of stuff.

Not to mention the whole "being swallowed whole" aspect of (soft) vore (and endosoma) is impossible in real life. Technically the only type of vore that could exist in the real world is hard vore.

Dear stars, hard vore. That type of vore is disgusting, even for me. "-Dylanius9000's opinion

Neutral-

"I'm on the neutral. As Ness5555 said, there is no harm in leaving a warning. For now, I won't vote on this until I am absolutely certain. And I'll just say this now, I don't mind vore (I made two vore edits at one point), but I don't like it as a fetish, but it comes off as an interesting thing to me. Although maybe this could work like with the cheapies thing that happened a while ago; All current ones stay on the wiki but no more are to be added. "-Endercreeper9999's view

"Neutral. I understand what people are saying about characters who eat opponents outside of that context such as Reptile, Kirby, Yoshi and to an extent Abyss, but as I just said that's not the context such moves are being brought in and for that sake it's not a proper argument against the whole thing. The same can be said about any sort of kink.

Really though, that aside... If MUGEN has a bad reputation over vore characters then the logic of such a reason could be applied to anything and everything. It's the internet, and people are being given the opportunity to create something, so they're going to create even if it's gross - for either attention of self-fulfilment. It's why there's so many ridiculous things out there such as YouTube Poops and shock sites. Controversy = attention and it's no lie to say that a lot of Vore MUGENites are just trolls craving exactly that.

I've got a pretty genuine point about this though it might be potentially topic-changing, I have to say that I 100% agree with people suggesting warning tags. I have said before that the NSFW template should be more specific content warnings and I'm gonna say it again. NSFW template serving as a content warning just feels like a step in the right direction to me, but I'm in no authority to force it, so instead I am suggesting it.

TL;DR: I feel like it's the NSFW template that needs fixing more, but I don't really mind the final outcome."-3krok's view

Yes-

"I myself do not have a vore fetish.  But I know people do, being a furry and all.

I support the growth of this site and the creations that are submitted under there. Even the cringy ones. Vore characters however should be labled as such or put under something similar to a spoiler tag but for 18+.

For example, I remember looking for Omegabros6's mewtwo for a long, long time being unable to find it (before it was up.)  And before Charizard was a functional fighting character, I was considering just editing out the vore attacks and using the vore charizard instead for my collection.

This site is where I primarily go for mugen characters since it's the only one that discusses the actual quality of downloads. If this site limits its uploads, it's going to limit access to these characters and make them all the more rare. At the very least, in my opinion. The mugen community has grown sooo big thanks to this site, and it is so much easier for me to build a roster than it was in 2007 when I first started and all we had was mugencharacter. org's stuff with all of its broken links. Even the bad characters deserve a wiki page, that's what I believe." -RicTheUltimate02's view

""But this site isn't for hosting, it's for storing information!"

Hosting is storing information, but not the other way around. If these DLs are removed, we have less information, and therefore a less complete wikia.

"It's vore, so it's no good!"

I hate vore, but I personally feel that being a sexual fetish isn't a reason to hate vore. I mean, you can fap to anything. Puppies. Dead bodies. The atomic bombs on Enola Gay. Who cares what other people fap to, it's what they want to do with this character. The majority don't. So it isn't storing an extra good-for-nothing sexual fetish on this site, it's just storing extra information that can come in handy."

-My doubts about the "No" option

Hopefully this can help you make your decision wisely instead of being rash and choosing what your instinct tells you to. :)
