Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
6. Defend your opinion
This is a bit of a mix of rules 4 and 5 to help foster higher quality posts. You are expected to defend your unpopular opinion in the post body. We don't expect a whole manifesto (please, no manifestos), but you should at least provide some details as to why you hold the position you do.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Just to put different stories out.
In Trinity blood is post post apocalypse. some vampires were engineers building advance tech rebuilding what was lost. Even had ways to blanket the skies with anti UV clouds letting in sunlight without burning up. Plus didnt have the woe is me mentality. Vampires couldn't even eat ppl in the new terran empire cause they are all property of their vampire empress.
Day breakers was pretty dumb scifi but vampires were the main population and needed to resolve the blood issue with dwindling good source.
Penny dreadful vampires are from ancient times but story set in england 1800s lol. Loved the show but ending was rushed due to cancelation.
There are also other stories that deviate/are based on vampires tropes in anime. like Ragna crimson where the "dragons" are effectively vampire covens with queens and gods that hunt a kingdom to extinction because someone's Cafe shutdown there.
Point is there is plenty of ways vampire stories evolved over time in media. its just popular western media that is letting us down.
Some authors are just trying to sell books, vampires sell.
Lol true story. just look at the success of twilight or Anne Rice books.
