People have more or less completely forgotten that vampires are meant to represent the monstrosity of an unchecked aristocracy/wealthy upper class. They sold their souls for power and now live exclusively by feeding off those beneath them. You donā€™t just ā€˜becomeā€™ a vampire like you donā€™t just ā€˜becomeā€™ rich. You can certainly become enthralled to a vampire though

I never actually realised this. Now Iā€™m going to be thinking about every depiction of vampires Iā€™ve been exposed to, for the rest of the day.

That was never the case. Traditional folk tales about vampires were a way to understand corpse decomposition. The narrative changed in 1819.

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.

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.

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.

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/
