You farm the remaining humans like livestock? We mastered factory farming 100 years ago, no reason things need to change just because the animals can talk back.
(banned from /c/veganism)
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 see a novel forming.
There's one already, where the vampire is a head of state and religius leader. (Luminous Valentine)
I'm sure there are multiple already in existence
Fun fact, human blood can be vegan, as long as the human is consenting
the definition of veganism has nothing to do with consent, only exploitation.
And if I'm consenting, then it isn't exploitation when a hot vampire gives me the biggest fucking hickey
Nothing is vegan then.
I use ~~Arch~~ plant based alternatives BTW.
wrong.
Doesn't consent imply the absence of exploitative forces?
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
The way that people use the word "exploit" when talking about living things is different from the way we use it when talking about nonliving things. It implies a lack of consent from the one being exploited.
consenting exploitation is still exploitation.
This was part of the plots in the movies Blade & Blade 2.
The problem becomes apparent in this film: https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0433362/
