Those like... Weird gun people I see mostly from the US who are utterly obsessed with owning a gun for "self defense" always going on and on about how they'll shoot anyone who basically even looks at them funny should just admit they don't care about self defense, what these people really want is to be able to shoot and kill someone and take pride in it while being revered as a hero for "defending" themselves or their family because yeah they obviously really, really want to kill people but since they know Murder is Bad they've invented a whole persona to justify their bizarre and disturbing murder fantasies that leaves them respected and heroic for killing someone.
Idk man those people freak me the hell out and are the last kind of person who should own guns in my opinion. Anyone that gung ho to kill people and see themselves as the "good guy" about it should not have access to weapons.

internet discourse truly has fried my brain but in the opposite way than i think people wanted it to. because the internet was so black and white about things being "good" or "bad", im literally scared to acknowledge that things i like have issues and arent perfect because the internet had to act like things being imperfect made them fucking garbage. i literally have to tell myself 'im allowed to like things even if they kinda suck' and 'just because this thing isnt perfect doesnt mean its garbage'
seriously fuck all of yall that couldnt ever just be normal about media you literally fucked up everything for everyone and most of the time yall were talking about KIDS SHOWS.

you getting the gay vampires response reminds me I too got a rant about it in my replies. I just blocked the person. My post was half joking (sort of) that 19th century vampire novels were pretty gay and in that therefore vampires in general are officially (more of the joke part but I stand by it because I will) not straigh. And then someone got mad asking if I read about any vampiric folklore, books, or anything about the history of vampires and that “most of us take it seriously”.
As I said I blocked them, but also anyways I did a shit ton of research and stuff into vampires and their folklore including before the modern concept and all over the world because they were my special interest (autism) since I was a kid. And I read the book already. Also Carmilla being a book that exists.
The Dracula Daily thing seems to now be getting some weird people coming out of the woodworks to get mad at people
Absolutely...I believe that vampires are culturally linked to many things. They are a vessel of villiany in that, by their nature, they must hurt people to survive. Vampires are also an ancient myth with many different faces. A vampire can be an animal with three tongues and one eye but it might also be a human with straight teeth and a pleasant disposition. The defining factor of the vampire is not its face or its character- it's the violent acts that it must do to survive, drinking blood especially.
In that way. If you are anyone with a deep interest in vampirism I feel that you must be acquainted with vampires as the depiction of bigotry. I feel the book by Bram Stoker is intentionally homophobic, anti-orientalist, and white supremacist. The plot is LITERALLY "the foreign other terrorises us because he is predisposed to hatred and conquest" and I feel that trying to go all "death of author" on this is...stupid. It's purposefully ignorant, even. Critical media analysis doesn't end when you get uncomfortable!
I originally responded thinking that the user was sincerely mislead on their interpretation of my post and I tried to be gentle in my redirection. But at the end of the day they're arguing apples when I'm arguing pears. The original post is ALL about author intent and their response is trying to invalidate that by arguing death of the author above all else. We just aren't arguing about the same things at the end of the day...
They made note to say about how I'm in a grump about this- that this prevents me from enjoying Dracula as a literary work. Fact is, I LOVE Dracula. I love vampires!! Part of my enjoyment of them is ALSO analysing their position in politics. Theres no way to separate the two, imo.
