Off topic, but it paints a grisly picture of humanity that all vampires have higher standards for consent than many humans.

Seriously.
One vampire Dev pops "by clicking agree, you consent to vampires entering your home." Into line 57842368 of the Instagram/FB TOS and suddenly it's a feeding frenzy....
...How does one sell a script to Black Mirror?
Dystopian technofeudalist vampire is now one of my favorite new tropes. Thank you.
Peter Thiel has never felt so appreciated..
He's why I have a crucifix-shaped wifi jammer nailed to my headboard.
Oh THAT'S why? I thought it was a kink thing..
I never said it wasn't. Maybe I just get off on antagonizing billionaire vampires.
A "standard" implies it's a societal norm they're participating in, rather than a supernatural compulsion they're restricted by.
That's a good point. Perhaps they're instead restricted by a social code of honor and limited empathy. Like they could come in against your will, but most won't because it's a shameful violation of vampire ethics, and they would feel bad about it.
I mean, sure. But that's some supernatural ability to compartmentalize.
"I'll drain the blood from your veins in a fit of bestial hunger but I won't just...enter your house uninvited. I'm a monster, not an animal."
I've eaten a steak before, but I won't slaughter a cow. People are complicated and inconsistent sometimes.

I'm beginning to realise that even stones may have higher standards for consent than most humans.
For the sake of us all, I hope you're wrong, but history being what it has been, I'm having trouble coming up with a counterargument.

How does the lore work? Does the vampire need to hear the right thing or does the person need to mean the right thing?
The whole thing is vampire propaganda to make the general population feel more safe
Big Blood is playing us for fools
If I were making the rules, intent would be what mattered.
Otherwise vampires would be getting invited in because some word means "enter" or whatever in a different language.
Californians: "idk, he just kept asking and I kept saying, like, the beach? The coast? The seaside? Eventually he just stormed off in a huff, but, yeah, no, super weird guy. I still don't know what he wanted."
Context: as long as I've been on the west coast, I've literally never heard anyone call it the shore.
Lived in FL for 28 years and the last time I heard it called the shore was in Ocean City, MD In 1997

Lmao, I was having the same thought. "Shore" wouldn't have crossed my mind unless I'm talking about Gulf Shores. And that's a beach town in my mind. Hell, I grew up close enough to Jersey and have lived near the Gulf of Mexico for over 20 years; "shore" just isn't in my vocab like that
Except it doesn't work that way. It's not about wordplay, but the esoteric power of being explicitly invited.
But it does work that way because vamipres are made up and so are the rules
Counterpoint: Buffy (the series, not the movie, not the comic) is the only true vampire canon, and everything else is fanfic, and older stuff is from future time travelers writing fanfic.

Doesn't matter if you let them in. Nothing stopping them from setting your house on fire and making you come out.
Vampires stopped existing when a wild hermit man once declared that the entire outside was their home.
Ah, the Harry Dresden Assassination technique
If vampires are sticking to a code of ethics and honour to enter your house than this wouldn't work
You are answering a question with an answer .... not making a verbal contract
You are making a statement ... not giving permission
haha! yeah!
like who doesn't know what a sure is ᵐᵃʸ ᴵ ᶜᵒᵐᵉ ᶦⁿ?
Are you a cop? Because I don't answer questions without legal representation....
Vampires are from Staten Island and Noo Yawk Citttttaaaaaay.
Tucson Arizonia
No they're just regular human bartenders there.
No Jackie Daytona is a normal human from Tucson Arizoniia you fool.
A lot of us in NOLA, too! And Denver for some reason...
me: coast?
vampire: Mhm -_- How would you pronouce the first three letters of "yesterday" ^may^ ^i^ ^come^ ^in?^
Well the first letter is pronounced like the word why. The next one, is like the second name of rapper easy e. Now that third letter, thats a real fun pronunciation. How familiar are you with the 18th president of the USA?

The beach. Bitch.
Coast
Coast on inside? Don't mind if i do!
I'm pretty sure the magic preventing a vampire from entering without permission would not be overcome so easily.
Its not magic if its real.
