Doesn’t matter if you let them in. Nothing stopping them from setting your house on fire and making you come out.
Vampires stopped existing when a wild hermit man once declared that the entire outside was their home.
Unexpected Bergerac.
Sinners was so fucking good
I’m pretty sure the magic preventing a vampire from entering without permission would not be overcome so easily.
Its not magic if its real.
“A Beatles song, XXXterday.”
Yes No
Three characters you say.
No!terday
me: coast?
vampire: Mhm -_- How would you pronouce the first three letters of “yesterday” may i come in?Well the first letter is pronounced like the word why. The next one, is like the second name of rapper easy e. Now that third letter, thats a real fun pronunciation. How familiar are you with the 18th president of the USA?
How does the lore work? Does the vampire need to hear the right thing or does the person need to mean the right thing?
The whole thing is vampire propaganda to make the general population feel more safe
If I were making the rules, intent would be what mattered.
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.”
Seriously.
One vampire Dev pops “by clicking agree, you consent to vampires entering your home.” Into line 57842368 of the Instagram/FB TOS and suddenly it’s a feeding frenzy…
…How does one sell a script to Black Mirror?
Plus, there’s a (kind of) precedent. All you’d have to do is plan it for April fool’s day.
Dystopian technofeudalist vampire is now one of my favorite new tropes. Thank you.
Peter Thiel has never felt so appreciated…
He’s why I have a crucifix-shaped wifi jammer nailed to my headboard.
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.
Beach.
There’s no need to call me names, buddy
I would watch a sitcom about the most unlucky vampire who still manages to survive somehow.
Huh, I never thought of it that way. Good take. Also, Matt Berry is a treasure.
If vampires are sticking to a code of ethics and honour to enter your house than this wouldn’t work
You are answering a question with an answer … not making a verbal contract
You are making a statement … not giving permission
haha! yeah!
like who doesn’t know what a sure is ᵐᵃʸ ᴵ ᶜᵒᵐᵉ ᶦⁿ?
Are you a cop? Because I don’t answer questions without legal representation…
