it really frustrates me to think about how people are inevitably going to take Remmickās one (1) singular statement about how much he resents the way the Irish were colonized and forcibly converted to Christianity and use it as fuel for āactually he had a pointā and āhe was right actuallyā and āheās not really the villain hereā posts, when the whole point is that Remmick is, through the vampiric hive mind heās creating, forcibly assimilating people into yet another manipulative and parasitical system. he doesn't value the cultures of the people he assimilatesānotice how all the vampires he turns dance to his culture's music using his culture's dances, and how he only uses the languages or knowledge other vampires have to offer when he needs to manipulate someone. Remmick is extremely transparent about the way he sees the people he turns as resources to exploit.
heās perpetuating a cycle that he claims to hate and resent, and I think the movie is pretty damn clear about the fact that he doesnāt see anybody as valuable or useful to him except as prey and as pawnsāotherwise he would just, you know, focus solely on people who actually consent to being turned. but he looked sad in that one scene and heās an apparently attractive white cis man so people are gonna bend over backwards justifying all the harm he did.
