Off topic, but it paints a grisly picture of humanity that all vampires have higher standards for consent than many humans.
A “standard” implies it’s a societal norm they’re participating in, rather than a supernatural compulsion they’re restricted by.
That’s a good point. Perhaps they’re instead restricted by a social code of honor and limited empathy. Like they could come in against your will, but most won’t because it’s a shameful violation of vampire ethics, and they would feel bad about it.
I mean, sure. But that’s some supernatural ability to compartmentalize.
“I’ll drain the blood from your veins in a fit of bestial hunger but I won’t just…enter your house uninvited. I’m a monster, not an animal.”
I’ve eaten a steak before, but I won’t slaughter a cow. People are complicated and inconsistent sometimes.
Fair enough.
I’m beginning to realise that even stones may have higher standards for consent than most humans.
For the sake of us all, I hope you’re wrong, but history being what it has been, I’m having trouble coming up with a counterargument.
That’s because vampires are fictional.
You’re right, of course, but you should still see the comment about Bryan Johnson elsewhere in this thread, if you haven’t already.
🙁
Except it doesn’t work that way. It’s not about wordplay, but the esoteric power of being explicitly invited.
If vampires are sticking to a code of ethics and honour to enter your house than this wouldn’t work

Shore can sound like “sure”
I’m from Jersey (New). I go down the shore, and while down the shore I go to the beach. This is how it’s always been and always will be (until the shore comes up to me because we’ve destroyed the environment)!
