I agree with Patrick.
I cannot debate at all on this issue, because I am not familiar enough with vampires to debate. Why? Because I choose not to read them. That should be my choice. I get huffy when they're foisted on me by an author, in the same way that I get huffy when an author slams immorality into the last scene. Normally, I just silently quite reading, but I can't say that I'm not offended when it comes without foreshadowing or warning.
I don't think there's anything wrong with a reader saying, "Don't foist your immorality on me." I don't even think it's wrong to say it with enthusiasm.
I want to thank those of you who quit yelling at Patrick about that, since he never asked for anything to be sensored, but instead asked for the ability to make informed consent.
