I guess I'll weigh in on the issue. I speak only for myself, I don't speak for anyone else on the staff or anything like that.
The game in question (because this really is only about one game right now) is a fetish game. It's obviously a fetish game. Saying it isn't is naive. So much effort has been put into the animations and sound and designs and presentation that it is without question. It is not like when Yoshi or Kirby eat baddies in their games, this is obviously a whole 'nother level above that. It's a fetish game.
Having said that, I'm surprised/impressed in retrospect that it's taken this long for a vore fetish game to appear on the site, considering Yoshi's modus operandi in his games.
But if I saw it in the queue I'd decline it. I don't think fetishized content has a place on an MFGG which strives to be family-friendly. (Nor do I think the super-gore games are that appealing either, but that's mostly because they are boring. Still, if we wanted a truly family-friendly MFGG, they'd probably have to go too.)
Now, if Sloshy wants to make her game by all means she should make her game. Honestly, I'm impressed with her efforts thus far considering how hostile this site has been to her sometimes. If I had joined a community that was as hostile to me as this one has been to her at times I probably would've left by now. And yes, I would use "hostile" to describe the overall reaction to her stuff. But I think she should show a little more discretion as to where she publicizes her content. We're a Mario fan-site, to be sure, but yeah, I wouldn't want to be running across pictures of Peach in her birthday suit in the art forum, even if it's meant to be "artistic" nudity. If I were drawing fetish art I wouldn't share it here because it just isn't appropriate to share here.
I think it's pretty clear by now, based on both the content and the reaction to it, that this community is not the best for her to share her stuff. And I can understand that being pretty awful and I'd be upset too and she has every reason to be upset about it because it does sound an awful lot like "you don't belong here" and that's a terrible thing to say. But there are communities out there, surely, where her stuff would not only be welcomed but she would probably get more meaningful help and criticism than she does here. A lot of criticism she gets here pretty much relies on her compromising her vision. It's not constructive.
Now, this isn't the first time this discussion has come up and depending on how this discussion ends it probably won't be the last, so I feel like a final decision should be made on the content in question. I'm not the one to make that decision, I'm merely providing my own two cents. But her topic's been derailed so many times leading to discussions like this popping up, and this is all over one single game, it's undeniably disrupting the community, whether or not you think it's appropriate for the site. It needs to be decided, one way or the other.
No matter what, somebody's gonna walk away from this upset. There's not gonna be an answer that makes everybody happy.

Falcon Punch is the result of the Sun heating fists. It drives the Blue Falcon. Heating causes destruction of water into the pain, where it then hurts, creating rain. Rain creates flowing water in tears, which can then be converted into other forms through more pain.
