Oh, no—there are “unfortunate implications” in a world dominated by (checks notes) bloodsucking vampires.
Whatever shall we do?
Can't really blame them. Thanks to all the fetishizing, romance stories and general messing with the lore and making new takes vampires completely lost their edge, so I can see how nowadays for most people they're seen as a good guys by default now.
True enough, and zombies are well on their way to the same status in general popular culture, with even a handful of examples in yuri.
Kinda presents the “this behavior would not be OK in real life, so it’s not OK in fiction” ideology with a bit of a conundrum, though.
(For the record, lest there be any doubt on this matter, I strongly believe that undead supernatural creatures who prey on the blood of human beings in real life are not OK.)
