Me, watching people villainize and hate show!Louis and Claudia for in ways that they didn't in regards to book and movie!Louis and Claudia;
#interview with the vampire#amc iwtv#iwtv#louis de pointe du lac#iwtv louis#like making louis black (and claudia) black added more nuances to their characters#from their relationships with people (especially lestat) to their outlooks on life itself#I've seen people read louis down to filth for things that they hardly do for his other media counterparts or other yte characters#ive seen more grace extended to movie claudia then show claudia (riddled with misogynior bc some of yall can't empathize with a black girl)#we seen show!lestat be violently abusive but yet he gets more sympathy than those he abused? make it make sense (it won't)#like louis and claudia are not good people they're morally grey and very complex and that's fine#but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see how the fandom treats that/them very differently than when they were their yte adaptations#also like....wasn't movie!louis along with lestat a slave owner &/or fed on slaves? this the man y'all saying was better?#anti blackness is a wild thing#fandom racism#racism in fandom#claudia de pointe du lac#claudia de lioncourt#key note: it's been a minute since ive seen iwtv movie & i haven't seen s2 yet until all episodes are out
