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…
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.
Off topic, but it paints a grisly picture of humanity that all vampires have higher standards for consent than many humans.
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.

Seriously.

…How does one sell a script to Black Mirror?
Dystopian technofeudalist vampire is now one of my favorite new tropes. Thank you.
Bryan Johnson makes it somewhat literal.
I had completely forgotten about that. Thanks for bringing it back up. These people are literally parasites.
Peter Thiel has never felt so appreciated…
He’s why I have a crucifix-shaped wifi jammer nailed to my headboard.
Oh THAT’S why? I thought it was a kink thing…
I never said it wasn’t. Maybe I just get off on antagonizing billionaire vampires.
Plus, there’s a (kind of) precedent. All you’d have to do is plan it for April fool’s day.
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.
