And "it's not an RP, so we get to be violent!" is not an argument you want to be making.

That said, vampires are used in family-level cartoons, though not in the same way that they are in more adult shows and books. And drinking blood is what they're all about: "I VANT TO DRINK YOUR BLAAAHHHD!" What makes it family-friendly is, in part, that they never actually do get to drink the blood; blood is never shown or described in detail.

For example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQy_erdWBnU from the classic Looney Tunes cartoon "Transylvania 6-5000". I don't think this a RP because we are not making a story, we are making fun of vampires. And also, the "it's not a RP so we get to be violent" thing, I don't think Elizabether is trying to make this violent.
