Interesting definitions. I thought "Energy vampire" (which seems to be what you mean by psy) was normally considered a pejorative, or even term of abuse in BDSM circles, though?
It can be, just like slut or bitch can be derogatory terms in certain settings. For most modern vampires, like in BDSM, the difference has to do with consent. However, I don't know a single psy who feeds off of crowd energy by asking everyone permission! There's a prevailing belief that the energy of a crowd is often more than the sum of the individual energies and so there is "excess" to feed from without harming anyone.
A "psychic" or "emotional" vampire as you are discussing is usually someone who is addicted to drama and, in my opinion, is probably a modern psy vampire, but unaware that they are and so they are feeding nonconsensually. To what degree they are held responsible for doing their feeding this way because they are unaware is often individualistic. I feel that, even if a person isn't aware (if they're a modern vamp at all), a healthy individual is aware of themselves enough to understand the emotional/psychic toxicity of drama and thus work to avoid it.
