Ok, I know it’s a sequel of a beloved game, but I just need to say it because I know I can’t be the only one:
VAMPIRES ARE LAME AND BORING!! They have been overdone to hell and back just like zombies were. They aren’t interesting. I see a form of media with vampires and I instantly do not give a shit. They are always so fucking lame too, immortals who have lived hundreds of years but somehow all of them seem to pick Victorian England as the time period to base their language, dress, architecture, and mannerisms off of. And no, modernizing them does not help, they are still fucking lame.
Use. A different. Monster. Holy shit there are so many to choose from. Reptillians, malicious fae, skinwalkers, changelings, witches, warlocks, three gnomes in a trenchcoat, ANYTHING! Or just make your own up! Stop using vampires!




Except tacking an x on to the end is not a common Spanish pronunciation and completely discounts how jarring that is to use in speech. The whole thing also stems from a fundamental misunderstanding of gendered language, Latino can already be used to refer to male/female/nonbinary, just as the word for person (persona) can refer to any gender despite ending in the feminine form of -a.
It comes across as “Wow, so maybe you weren’t aware, but your language which is fundamental to your entire culture is like… Really problematic??? I heard it uses gendered words and that’s just like really micro-aggressive and could be offensive to people. Here, let us fix your language for you. What? No I don’t know any Spanish and don’t plan on learning.”
