      It's funny that vampires are associated with one fairly rare and inconsequential species of blood drinking animal (vampire bats) when mosquitoes make such a better metaphor A parasite that's been with humanity since the beginning, sickening and draining us and holding us back

      It's really a style thing, as far as I can tell. The swooping wings/capes do more than the bloodsucking

      There's very little Bat stuff in early vampire depictions. If anything their metaphorical animal was the leech

      There's an argument that the flukeworm monster in the famous early X Files episode has more in common with at least a certain historical depiction of vampires than a lot of post-Victorian, post-Gothic vampire fiction.

      Yeah, that makes sense. I mean, a LOT of it dates back, not even just to Bram Stoker, but to Bela Lugosi specifically.

      To a degree, yeah. And the folklore is interesting, but here's a new blazing cursed sun hot take from me; The "ackshually historical folklore vampires were like X" has become the vampire equivalent to "Frankenstein is the name of the doctor!"

      Yeah I hate that I've ever been in a position to argue in favor of anything Stephanie Meyer ever did but Her reimagining of vampires isn't even as extreme as what LeFanu, Polidori, and Stoker did with the existing vampire myths a century and a half earlier

      I feel like there's room in pop culture for both gross ancient Strain style vampires and pretty sexy gay vampires and I've lost patience with anyone who holds one up as "better" or more "real" than the other

      That's why Vampire the Masquerade has multiple vampire clans and has the whole ongoing Nosferatu/Toreador feud

      Occasionally they forget that the shtick is basically "each clan is one particular set of Vampire tropes", but the game is best when it's fully aware of it.

      Yeah the whole idea is there's such a dizzying array of vampire powers and weaknesses it would be almost impossible to play a single character who embodied all of them so they spread them out

          IIRC there's even a thing where they typically used "repelled by garlic" as an example of the ridiculous things humans believe about vampires but then there's actually a family of revenats (hereditary ghouls, i.e. shitty half-vampires) who really are horribly poisoned by garlic

          You can even pinpoint specific movies or books that inspired each Clan, like Brujah was invented to play the "teenage street punk" vampires from The Lost Boys, Toreador was the Byronic artiste vampires like Lestat from Anne Rice, etc etc
