I believe that canonically when a vampire bites you, you orgasm.

So there's that direct sexualization of violence.

^^^^ yeah and it's a good test of what kind of players/ST you have by how much they're into describing that aspect

It's worth noting that like in any other game involving people, it vastly depends on who you're playing with. I've sat a table of something like CAH(of which there are millions of ripoffs, and they ripped of Apples to Apples), and had everyone try and make card jokes that were positive and affirming.

I've been lucky enough that every Storyteller I've played with has been super great about saying that some of the source material for Vampire is super problematic and don't bother getting to much into it. It's a setting and system for them to do the roleplay they've homebrewed or adapted.

But I can very much see how there's some serious problems in the source and how that might mean my experience is not the rule. I can see Vampire games and other WoD stuff getting very icky and enabling some really lovely people.
