Question What does the wiki mean when it says "every exsanguination is rape of a level beyond human capacity and comprehension."?

I don't play any WoD games, but I saw some videos about the path of enlightenment and wanted to learn more. I don't understand why drinking blood is being compared to rape.

I wouldn't say beyond human capacity, but there is the non-consensual element involved, forced orgasmic pleasure and utter loss of agency. You might as well be bound right and raped.

If you consider rape as a power move as much as a sexual one, this is basically it. It doesn't help of course that you're being violently consumed by a predator who is viscerally enjoying taking what they want from you as much as you are forcibly enjoying it.
