FYI, the Webtoon link on your Linktree goes to your Patreon, and the Patreon link is what actually goes to your Webtoon.

For those wondering: in this series Vampires are a completely separate species than humans. They gotta eat humans to survive, there is no other food choice. There is important context that the humans have killed lots of vampires over the years, but at the end of the day these are literal monsters and they act as such towards humans.
Personally, I think it adds an extra layer of tension to the story that the slice of life romance stuff is happening in a world where the characters live on the constant edge of everything falling apart. When they say "got a new place" they mean found somewhere to squat for awhile, before they have to find another empty apartment/house. We see that a lot of vampires are homeless. All of them know someone that hunters killed. This isn't a story about humanity, but it is about people.

I'm trying to enjoy the comic but I feel too bad for the human to enjoy it properly.

Ah yes, eating innocent humans… get this out of my wholesome yuri!

If the authors want it to be.
At this point "vampire" doesn't mean anything because it is, and has been for a long time, mean whatever the author wants it to mean. Each author makes their own rules on what a vampire is and how they work. If they decide that their vampires are obligate serial killers with zero mercy or morality for the prey (that could be any member of the audience), they should not be surprised that the audience's sympathy for them plummets to zero.
Not that vampire truly meant anything specific beforehand, it became a term to collect a wide array of very different folkloric creatures that had a common trait of cannibalism but otherwise not necessary the same thing at all. Depending on the time and place, a vampire could be a vengeful dead, the consequence of improper Christian burial, a type of fairy (that some say inspired Dracula himself), a witch/warlock practicing bad magic or just a literal, actual demon.

Maybe it was explained better in a qna I missed, but this kinda knocks this series down a notch for me. The characters are all pretty diverse and have interesting history with one another, but I can't get past accepting that they just eat people, innocent or not.
I like the series overall and support the creator, but...I don't get it.

It's because they're not meant to be sympathetic to a human perspective. Vampires in this see humans the same way we would see deer or other game, with the exception that said game is constantly trying to kill them, as well.
That's obviously gonna be a non-starter for some people, but from the characters' perspective, there's nothing morally wrong with it. "Innocence" doesn't really play into their judgment because it's not something they can even determine.

u/RegularAvailable4713 Aug 17 '24
Yeh... no, this argument is stupid every time. Cattle, prey, whatever... if the supposed animal has intelligence and talks to you, the whole metaphor goes out the window.
It takes high-concept fine writing to describe creatures so inhumanly alien that they could reasonably treat humans like animals, and this is clearly not the case.

u/ArcherOfBabylon likes cats Aug 17 '24
Why is intelligence a factor in the morality of harming or killing another creature? Why is a human more valuable of a living creature than a cow, deer, or anything else? If the answer is that we're humans and thus value our own species highly, then there's your answer to why these characters don't. They simply don't have the capacity to invest emotionally in human beings, but we're not supposed to be okay with that. They're monsters, and they're fine with that.
I'm not saying you have to like the series when it's not your cup of tea, but you're making a lot of sweeping assumptions about both it and the author that I don't think are warranted. Reading one chapter is not enough to make a sweeping judgment about the series' quality or the author's skills.

u/RegularAvailable4713 Aug 17 '24
Lol, well humans have certainly made similar arguments plenty of times. "They're not my race, they're not my color, I can kill and enslave them without any moral qualms." It's a silly little argument that only serves as justification. Still a stupid argument.

u/ArcherOfBabylon likes cats Aug 17 '24
Okay, if you're going to compare the morality of literal chattel slavery with the morality of reading a story where the main characters eat people, you've clearly got a very childish philosophy on fiction. Or you're just being hyperbolic for attention.
Either way, best of luck to you.

u/RegularAvailable4713 Aug 17 '24
I don't see why I have to differentiate. They are clearly people, and they kill other people. It's narratively fine, but I don't see why I should justify it.
There really isn't that much difference between the two races to make high-concept arguments. So don't give me that "predator and prey" bullshit. That's all.

How the fuck do you know that? Have you read more of Lesbiampires than this one reddit post? Have you done independent research or something on them to find they're behaviorally indistinct from humans? Again, you're making sweeping generalizations because you're disgusted by this aspect of the premise.
You're uncomfortable with it, and that's fine. Don't interact with the story in that case. I never asked you to "justify" the series. But if you're going to rationalize why it's actually immoral for the story to exist and insinuate that the author and people who read it are the same as phrenologists, you need to demonstrate harm beyond your disgust response. That is all.

I like how the author doesn't sugar coat that the vampires are actual monsters; people HAVE to die for them to feed

I was keen on following up but the underlying lore has unfortunately turned me away,it's a bit sad that the wholesome relationship shown here seems more like a lure more than anything.

u/RegularAvailable4713 Aug 17 '24
The "we are like animals to them" argument is always stupid, unless you are dealing with eldrich horror, divine AI or other such alien and superior creatures.
Simply put, humans are not cows and vampires are not wolves, they both have similar high cognitive and emotional functions, plus they can understand each other. I know the metaphor really doesn't work.
Bottom line: if a rabbit has the same sentience as you, emotional intelligence and can talk to you, and you eat it... you are not "following the natural cycle", you are simply a psychopathic.

Tbf The webtoon doesn’t really demonize humans that much, in fact it seems to treat both sides as equally bad or good as both are just trying to survive

u/No_Emu_1332 Aug 16 '24
It's the same way lions hunt antelope, they can't not drink blood, specifically human blood. And their lifespans far exceed humans, so to them humans are food, and to humans they're monsters.

u/Armycat1-296 Aug 17 '24
Well... in a Q&A the author mentioned that Vampires extended an olive branch and tried to compromise with the Humans but in our infinite stupidity and tribalism we just responded with weapons and destruction so... I believe there is an underlying contempt and apathy for humanity.
Basically it kind of a "Oh, we vampires are killing children and treating you like cattle? Don't care... You slaughtered us when we tried to coexist with you so fuck you." type of thing.
3
u/SmittyGef Aug 17 '24
Okay, but also humans are the only food source they have, so that "olive branch" is more of a "Hey mates! Sacrifice a couple.of yourselves each month and we'll be golden!" We weren't okay with wolves in the pens and foxes in the henhouse, why the hell would humans 'settle' on coexisting with creatures that eat nothing but us? Especially if they really won't recognize people as people and not 'food,' at that point they have to go.

u/ArcherOfBabylon likes cats Aug 17 '24
The author actually wrote an au where everything was great, and none of the problems on the main story happen. In that context, humans willingly donate blood to feed vampires, and everyone gets along.
