Yeah, I read the one where she was interviewed alongside LKH and she seemed like a much nicer, more humble, more SANE lady. But the series is getting less and less appealing to me the more I hear about it D= I already knew it was the basic 'human girl and supernatural guys romance' setup, which I've never been into, and what I've heard of the treatment of GBLT folks and how they're portrayed sounded iffy to me.
What. Omg. Most people would not let their babysitter bring their boyfriend over in the REAL world, for crying out loud. And I cannot begin to tell you the hate I have for "vampires are a persecuted minority!" crap, especially when there's every reason for people not to trust them. I swear to god, it's always straight white cisgender people who come up with supernaturals/mutants/etc are just like sexual and racial minorities and do not see the terrible, terrible flaws in that metaphor. It's like the most irritating case of 'I'm sure you mean well, but you are Just Not getting it'.
As a Southern person, I don't really know what to say about that Southern accents thing. I just...don't. it's just such an odd belief.
Are her prejudices/hypocrisies presented as being such even through the first-person lens, or is more like Anita where we're supposed to believe her and the flaws aren't shown as flaws?
