        That being said, I’m surprised that CHUDs haven’t adopted Frankenstein’s monster or Grendel from the novel in 1971.

                Okay but what if that’s your kink though thonk sincerely and not a bit-ly. Like, y’know?

                To me there is a world of difference between “ooh getting bit by this vampire and becoming a thrall to them would be hot” and “THIS FINE MAN LOUIS, HE OWNED A PLANTATION, HE’S A VALIANT MAN” type shit, I guess.

            I read some of those vampire books and there was so much weird shit but I was 13 and horny and it was the late 90s so what you gonna do? You read some smut with the barest veneer of story between the sex parts. Look, mom, I’m reading! I’m being a good boy just please knock before you come in here!

            But I definitely remember one series that had vampires hanging out with Krishna as the backstory because vampires were the original Aryans and of course the main character is a sexy blonde lady and looking back I think “what the fuck was going on”

      Rejected on account of inhumanity though - it’s more like a racial spurning than him being a malcontent. Initially, he tries to be kind, even though he was been brought into the world lacking a real parental figure.

      Frankenstein himself was much more of an entitled shitlord.

        I think the incel theme is reinforced by the whole “build me a woman who will have no choice but to be my wife” situation

          Yeah, definitely true, but that’s after the majority of his troubles. For sure though, Shelley was commenting on male ownership/entitlement to female bodies.
