ahoy, matty

You don’t like the line where Daniel referred to Louis as a bucket of Louisiana fried chicken… GOOD, you’re a decent human. It’s not supposed to make you feel good. That’s the POINT. The older white man who has been extremely rude, and crass and slightly homophobic, and racially insensitive, and throws terms like “battered wife” and “rent boy” around got WORSE after vampirism… surprise fucking surprise.

You don’t like when Lestat, Louis, and Daniel toss around Armand’s sex slave trauma…GOOD, you’re a decent human. It’s not supposed to make you feel good. That’s the point, to make you aware that your fave can be just as shitty as every other character. You’re not supposed to put them on a pedestal, they’re characters not ROLE MODELS.

Y’all want complex characters until they stop making you feel good. Until they challenge your sensibilities. Until they reflect reality too close for comfort.

You can feel however you want about the show, or writing, or characters (that’s your right and you were going to do it anyways). But to the viewers that are like “I hate it and I hate anyone that doesn’t share my very specific and very personal view points 🫨😡🫨”, just stop watching 😐 Stop torturing yourself and everyone else with your self prescribed masochism which is the show you claim to hate.
