Vampires don't live in castles, Count Dracula lived in a castle because he was a count, not because he was a vampire.

this feels like a sensitivity training for how to not commit micro aggressions against vampires in your workplace

Some poor vampire invites his Co workers over to their apartment And everyone's disappointed.

Depends on what they expected. Savoir faire? Je ne sais quoi? Bling? A hunger for the flesh of mortals?

Vampires come in the range of most demographics. I am a goblin-mode reclusive vampire, allergic to the sun, and I appreciate clearly defined thresholds and social boundaries.

I also do math.

Hey now, one of my worst nightmares would be encountering a Vampire who wasn't offended/didn't notice me enough to end me or turn me. Sadly, I'm not catching their attention with my good looks.

Good looks are temporary. Vampires like character, both the ethical kind and the fascinating kind.

[-] MachineFab812@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 3 days ago

Sadly, in most mythos, ridiculously good looks are a pre-requisite. I'm glad you have your own ideas, but I doubt the fiction is thoroughly saturated with that concept in a world where vampires exist and would have contributed no-small-part to the zeitgeist on purpose or accident, simply by nature of their long lives. On the other hand, I didn't call myself ugly or anything.

Note that ownership-class vampires empathize more with their ownership-class fellows (dead, mortal or otherwise) than with working-class vampires.

The same is true with liberal media and liberal politicians.
