Vampires

When I was little, vampires were blood sucking monster that were only cool when dying or dead. I was a big Blade and D fan. In my young biased mind, half blood humans are cool, if they kill those evil vampires. As a kid, I completely agreed that sucking blood and killing people made you a bad person period. This was more so when you forced someone to join you in the leagues of undead damnation. Nowadays, we have all these shows that are trying to make love interests out of monsters, intended to make us behave. Twilight *ducks thrown objects* is a prime example for a popular franchise. Human falls for a ‘vegetarian’ vampire, who only sucks the blood of animals, which still makes you a monster. Vampires are suddenly a hottie with fangs, who you desperately want to turn you into the same monster. Were wolves were suddenly just Native American shape shifters. Then again, Underworld portrayed lycans and vampires as bad people in general with the very few ‘good’ guys/girls. My favorite heros, on the other hand, are of both bloods. Bade was not a willing participate of his damned blood. He is the badass of outcasts of the blood sucker world and he knows it well. He slays vampires for a living and loves ridding the world of monsters one by one. D is similar in no liking his own damned creation and he hunts vampires for money, though whether he likes it or not is for debate. In the end, I support the vampires being killed, but does that make me racist? Perhaps the recent changes are us trying to make up for teaching our children to be racist against monsters. I know that most of this is more recent history, but still it is history.
