It's INCREDIBLY strange to me. Plenty of show fans do seem to see and criticize the double standard which I appreciate a lot, but I think it really does go to show that at the end of the day it's usually about who/what is more fun for people to engage with, not really deep-seated moral qualms. I obviously think it's perfectly reasonable to be like "hey I enjoy this really evil fucked up guy as a character" but it's irritating to me when people are like "well I already don't care for this character so I'll use my dislike of them to show that I'm a good person without missing out on anything I DO find fun". Like I've said a million times, I completely get people not fucking with book Louis at all for the plantation reason alone but like. You're going to have to give up Lestat too, brother.....

And just like with Louis, if you're really interested in the full complexity of Lestat's character, this part of him matters. He ceases to be himself without his constant need to punch down and hurt and subjugate others to make himself feel bigger. There's no price too high to stave off his inferiority complex, including becoming an abuser, a rapist, or a violent enslaver. He relishes his position visibly too, he wants to be the grotesque enforcer that he is on the plantation. For Louis, the institution of slavery is his normal and the scariness comes from his passive acceptance of and participation in evil. Lestat is scary because we see what he becomes at the first opportunity to be In Control.

if you prefer sims4, mastercontroller has toggles that allow incest & teen-adult romance&woohoo, plus wickedwhims has an addon that adds a lot more 'deviant' interactions. plus theres other nsfw mods that have a lot harder kink but i dont feel like. diving into that. (you can get banned for using a few of them + the discourse is Insane)

if you prefer sims3, nraas has the same functionality as mastercontroller (because mc is based off of it lol)

idk anything for sims1 or sims2 (sorry), but i think most sims3 mods work on sims medieval ^_^

sorry for the dump but I have a sims special interest and im a pervert sooo yeah have fun <3

YESSS that's exactly what inspired that post!! I don't think I have the dedication necessary to be a Sims Guy but I loveee to watch other people make them do weird stuff. Also the Sims hard kink thing made me so curious....BANNED is crazy I'm looking into that later and only a little afraid.

Is it just a vampire thing to be sensitive to noise in the movie, or why Lestat dyt? Louis didn't share the same aversion to noise, so my take is that it was basically to make Lestat come across as the more aggressive fiend.

(I don't have the books with me but I've read them a few times each)
