Comment on Anon wants to be a vampire

  Okay but among those people who choose to remain human, how many of us would be okay with donating blood every two weeks in exchange for food and rent?

  Think about it. If the vampires have all the power, why would they kill their food source when the longer they let their food source live the more food they get out of it?

  Let us tra-la-la and have happy-go-lucky existences, which will probably make our blood taste better to them, and they can spend their eternities competing for resources or whatever makes a vampire happy after the first 500 years.

      I’ve been saying this since I was a kid. Every time I see a blood donation place. That’s a vampire organization and you can’t convince me otherwise :D

        i’m always tempted to sing:

        in the gloom of mighty cities,
        'mid the roar of whirling wheels,
        we are toiling on like chattle slaves of old
        and our masters hope to keep us
        ever, thus, beneath their heels
        and to coin our very lifeblood into gold.

      There’s one already, where the vampire is a head of state and religius leader. (Luminous Valentine)

  Fun fact, human blood can be vegan, as long as the human is consenting

  • commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    the definition of veganism has nothing to do with consent, only exploitation.

    • starman2112@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      And if I’m consenting, then it isn’t exploitation when a hot vampire gives me the biggest fucking hickey

        consenting exploitation is still exploitation

      Doesn’t consent imply the absence of exploitative forces?

      • commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        exploitation and consent are unrelated. I exploit water resources every day, and consent is an absurd topic to raise in this context. the definition of veganism requires the abstention from exploitation of animals for food. there is no exemption made for consenting animals

  This was part of the plots in the movies Blade & Blade 2.

  The problem becomes apparent in this film: m.imdb.com/title/tt0433362/

  I’m still salty that PETA stole their web domain from People Eating Tasty Animals.
