I think many are just looking to enslave the minds of weaker people.

More and more pathetic... Really.

Minds of weaker people? Where can they find minds weaker than their own, heh?!

It's time to engage in a habit I call 'return to your roots'. You see these people while going through their angst are commiting various crimes, hence they are lawless criminals. Sacrifices, bloodletting, disorderly conduct, the list goes on. So what can we do?

Why kidnap them and sell them into slavery! If they want to engage in wreckless behavior, why don't you try to make a few thousand $$ on the way and ship them off to Singapore to toil away for the the rest of their lives? I mean, honestly, do we expect these people to contribute beneficially to society anyway?

And Vampire as a lifestyle? Give me a break. Therapy+jailtime=winner here.

Hear, hear!

Seek out a good psychologist.

My two cents.

You see, at the beginning of the White Wolf sourcebooks that everyone got their vampire/werewolf/fairy/demon/whatever ideas from, it says "this is fiction. You are not a vampire. You do not have super powers."

It really amazes me sometimes how many people miss that part.

The cure for vampirism: antipsychotics. Seriously, if you think that vampires are "very, very real" and not just a bunch of kids who think it's sexy to play with blood, I suggest you get hold of some prozac. Reality check here, dude. Seriously. Blood play without blood tests = you will get sick and maybe die.

God, this is why I got out of the bloody goth scene back in the day. It turned into such a cesspool of people trying to find some kind of public support and rationalization for their lack of a grasp on reality.

Crazy poeple who cant tell the difference between fantasy and reality and think they have superpowers is a very very old phenominon.

Inappropriate comment removed by moderator.

So this whole thing has two components - the social/cultural aspects of the clans and a sexual fetishist aspect of the bloodletting. Dema's gf is into both aspects, but does not need to combine then - she rejects clans that require bloodletting between members, saving that as a part of her sexual monogamy. So as far as I can tell, this situation falls into the "your kink is not my kink" catagory. What she believes, or says, or accepts as part of a social group fiction is not stronger than her personal autonomy, does not interfere with her understanding of consent, and does not overrule her personal commitments. So all things considered, I'd say she less in need of therapy, insults or punishment than individual members of much more socially accpetable lifestyles and groups.

Further Information:

They're harmless weirdos. I stick to that as fact.

 

[reanjr]

That's not polite to say. It's really a life style that they engage in. Kinda like LARP VAMPIRE the roleplaying game, just no dice, or rules, and things are real -er.

I'd say they are much more detached from reality than your average LARPer (and that's saying something ).

Folks, it would be best if we could have this discussion without insults and religious references.

Dema, there is such a thing as too much sharing. Use judgment when deciding what to post.

The whole discussion is about religion. To this girl being a vampire is her religion. She says she is a vampire the same way that I say I am a Christian. If we are not to talk about religion on this board than this whole thread is in violation of that.
