I was honestly willing to give the changes a chance because I don't give a shit about Anne Rice canon but I saw a bit of it posted on tumblr and the way they talk about race and sexuality is just so jarringly anachronistic... I knew better than to expect a well-researched historical drama with this, but only watch if you want modern politics in cosplay.

I explained it to myself as Louis narrating the story from this century and changing it to suit, which helped.

"Modern politics in cosplay" is a lot of historical fiction, on purpose or accidentally, but you probably only notice or care when it's about race, gender, or sexuality and not like, war or some shit.

"How dare they leave out the dysentery and pubic lice! Doesn't anyone care about accuracy anymore?" Those people exist, but I personally am fine with fewer body lice and open sores (and less rape) and so on when I'm watching a fun fantasy show.

And man, I don't even go here, but "Anne Rice vampire novel" =/= historical accuracy.

I have my share of "historical" hangups about fantasy shit and I could see how the show writers not actually thinking about how changing Louis from a white to a black dude might lead to lazy writing or giant plotholes or whatever, but also the vitriol aimed at raceblind or deliberately racebent casting is so often nastily ott...
