Well, yeah, as Arthur pointed out, they made Hunters pretty morally ambiguous too. Many of them are self righteous and akin to fascists as you've pointed out. It doesn't promote a fascist ideology, it explores it. Not always well but it can be used well in storytelling.

Problem is, as noted, they're closer to "authorially correct" in the setting; they (and werewolves) are arguably the "misguided good guys" to the vampires' "literal taint on the world"

Eeeeenh Even if this is true, it is simply incorrect that Kindred as a whole are queer and punk and Werewolves and Hunters are conservative fascists Ventrue are a whole-ass Clan whose whole thing is being Republican trust fund preppies

I'm pretty sure you can see why I side-eye the "the corrupt, camouflaged monstrous Tainted Parody of Us run the world and pervert our society and corrupt our children with their wealth and sexual immorality," Arthur.

Yeah you could definitely read the diablerization of Saulot as a combo of the betrayal of Christ and the whole Khazar myth

But anyway all these things can be more than one thing Yes, "secret cabals" in fiction come off a lot like how Nazis see Jewish people They also come off like how a lot of other people see Nazis themselves And, like, in vampire fiction they're often literally Nazis

That was one of the darkest jokes they got away with in What We Do In The Shadows, that vampires are analogous to Nazi war criminals hiding out living a normal life in the suburbs because some of them LITERALLY ARE Nazi war criminals

("You see, before the war people didn't like vampires, and after the war people really didn't like Nazis, so if you were a Nazi AND a vampire, it was just not a good time to be in Europe")

But I mean anyway That's the actual history of "antisemitism", the word It was Jewish writers taking the antisemitic view of society and history and turning it back on itself The dark mysterious force poisoning Europe and holding it back isn't "semitism" but "ANTIsemitism"

Sartre's long rant about antisemitism as a kind of illness and corruption, the antisemite as a parasitic puppetmaster climbing to power via bouts of societal madness like pogroms It was heavy intentional irony but it was also serious DARVO is always central to abuse narratives
