A less gruesome twist on this it to have the victim struggle from within, causing the swallower's belly to jiggle or rise in bumps. Another concept that makes Soft Vore less cute is when the victim's face is shown with the swallower's skin tightly stretched around it (this runs a little too close of an image to garbage-bag strangulation). Of course, if we see inside the swallower's belly, and the swallowed is simply floating in a swimming pool of harmless, green juice, the cute is maintained. While Soft Vore is generally less gruesome, this rule may be broken if we actually see the victim being dissolved by stomach acid.
