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

      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.

    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.

    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.

        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.
