Re: Writing question / mythology question

If I were a published writer, especially one major enough to be "heard about" in the first place - I don't think tumblr would be on my list of worries.

I mean, I agree, by all means people should be culturally sensitive. But you don't need to pretend some criticism isn't batshit for the sake of humoring batshit teenage girls. Vampires have long been a part of pop culture, they are only folklore and not religious, and have old and widespread roots. No one "owns" vampires.

It'd be one thing to use a modern religious figure that had sacred significance- though I don't think even that is necessarily "off-limits" but yeah you probably should be more cautious and sensitive.

It is dumb to be outraged about vampires being appropriated and I don't care what tumblr says about it.
