There is still value in understanding the darkness and the dirt.

Yes. Preach! If I can’t love my deeply fucked up fictional and RL historical characters, what is even the point of reading?

some ppl thought that adding black ppl to iwtv meant they were gonna "wokeify" anne rice and the bigots got mad at that mere promise while the leftists with poor media comprehension got mad at the failure to fulfill it but. anne rice works cannot be wokeified. she wrote about horrible lil gremlins with these nasty lil disrespectful unorthodox kinks lol. you will find sweeping romances in there and 0 of them healthy. the optics are bad, bad, bad! she would never get a publishing deal today because one of her characters would psychologically abuse the other one, and there wouldn't even be an after school special moment in the book where someone mentions the word "gaslight"!

the amc iwtv creators did not set out to distance themselves from the atrocities anne rice wrote, they set out to lean into them! to get closer, uglier, deeper in the dirt! how could you not recognize this from the very first episode when instead of making louis a white plantation owner they made him come from a black family who enslaved black ppl for capital gain and didn't feel real bad about it! perverse situation from the get go. you've recognized the ways in which the characters are evil and can be morally improved? congrats on step 1! step 2 is knowing these stories are not really interested in doing that. now you can finally begin to use your critical thinking as intended to ask: if these stories are not morality plays, what are they for? what do they say? well. great questions, now we're talking!

have your intersectional readings but kill the dichotomy, seek the nuance, bask in a narrative layered and baked in the complex stench of humanity! there is still value in understanding the darkness and the dirt. and sometimes when everyone's a murderer in your sandbox we can bury the word "problematic" and just have some fun ✌️🏽

OH AND ANOTHER THING

if you downplay and minimize trans mens issues like this:

Then you are being fucking deliberately transphobic. Fucking stop saying this shit.

Trans men have the HIGHEST rates of suicide and depression.

Trans men have the HIGHEST rates of having experienced sexual assault.

TREAT US LIKE WE ARE IMPORTANT. TREAT US LIKE WE MATTER. WE ARE A PART OF THE QUEER COMMUNITY AND WE ARE SUFFERING.
