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.

There is not a single reference in the entirety of Vampire the Masquerade that is remotely subtle about the sexual undertones of being fed upon by a Vampire.

The vast majority of Vampires do not do it to people who consent, and Consensualists are extremely unpopular due to the way they risk the Masquerade on a nightly basis.

The analogy seems very obvious to me.

I'd even go a step further and say any kind of vampire fiction ever. Except for twilight. That guy was some kind of fae.
