For brevity, endo = endosomatophilia. (its a long word.)

Endo isn't directly soft_vore. There's a strong correlation, but not the same.
Endo is about 'safe' vore, of what ever form.

So for example, soft_vore minus digestion is endo, but soft_vore plus digestion is NOT endo.

See the current two posts (at the time of writing this) with the tag endosomatophilia. The images include some micros in balls, if the micros were in danger related to vore (i.e, cum-digestion is depicted), then it would not be endo.

Digestion is hard vore.

Hard vore is most commonly defined as chewing of prey, I know there's debate on whether to classify digestion as also being hard_vore, but I'm going by the standard definition

Can this be undone? Endo ≠ soft vore (the distinction being fatality).

Would there be a way to shorten the alias'd tag name, or is there another name for it? "Endo" means more than just this, endo* listing some examples.

It's also a bike trick.

News to be, let me justify it by saying I don't have a working bike...

Would endo-vore, or some other representation ending with "vore", be reasonable?

*edit* "endo-vore" keeps bringing up FNaF imagery in my head, so maybe not. Unless that's what you're into...

Endo, endosoma, endosomatophilia, and endosomataphilia are all synonyms. "Endo" is the most common variation in the vernacular of vore communities and I don't think anybody is going to use it as short for "endoscope" or "endoskeleton".

If there is a possibility, it is eventually a certainty, and come to think of it there are characters literally named "endo", followed by a hyphen and numbers (coincidentally, from FNaF World). These odds, combined, aren't in our favor.

Safe_vore (though this is sometimes used to mean 'sfw vore') or simply non-fatal_vore would work as more user-friendly and obvious terms. They also have history of use outside of this site. Downside is that fatal vs non-fatal vore isn't currently tagged for and it will take work to sort and tag things and to convince people this is something that should be tagged for. I'd also point out that a good number, if not most, vore art is pretty ambiguous, and unless there's something that makes it explicitly clear whether or not the prey lives or dies, it shouldn't be sorted into either.

ambiguous_vore?

I don't think ambiguous cases need a tag. Fatal vore also doesn't need a tag because it's covered by simply death or imminent_death. I don't see much use for an ambiguous_vore tag because people looking to avoid even possible cases of fatal vore would (if a tag existed) use the non-fatal tag.

A couple things about a non-fatal tag- depending on how it's defined it wouldn't inherently omit gore, digestion, or even hard vore as long as it is explicit that the prey doesn't die. But if you're blacklisting gore and digestion this isn't going to be an issue.

It'd also need to be specific to vore and gore to avoid over use. Every picture that shows a character not dying doesn't need to be specified because risk of death isn't implied. Vore and gore are exceptions where death, or risk of death, is implied just by the nature of the genre, so exceptions to this are worth tagging.

deleted it. figure out among yourselves what it's supposed to mean.

tempted to alias it to vore and call it a day.

I guess the best option is to alias endo, endosoma, and endosomataphilia to endosomatophilia, then implicate endosomatophilia to soft_vore. Not all soft vore is endo, but all endo is soft vore.
