TVL makes more sense when you view every insult and degrading rant other characters say to louis and armand as rolin jones' own opinions of them. When you see the way he talks about louis and armand in interviews and responds to fans of armand it’s very obvious he dislikes these characters and wants to humble them and use them to prop up lestat, the character he adores. And he can have his opinions, sure, but having these opinions bleed through the writing and the way other characters speak to/about them in a very racist way while propping up his favorite white character is very unprofessional.
