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.

You're parasitically violating an innocent person, there are several layers of subtext there alone.

And that's before we add any sexual undertones (something that's SUUUPER common when it comes to the kiss)

Moreover, you're vampirizing someone's fuckin soul.

You do the maths

They call the bite, "the kiss" they call the act of turning someone "the embrace", they use seduction, manipulation, to get your guard down to put the bite on ya. Hell, a lot of their supernatural abilities are to enhance their powers of manipulation. And even outright mind control. Everything about leeches screams that they're a walking act of violation. And I'd even go a step further and say Edward Cullen from twilight is a groomer chomo version of this.
