Alright, for people who are not getting it. I usually don’t do this but it seems nowadays whatever I write for fandom there is always ONE person who disagrees with me in a way that feels favor they don’t grasp what I am getting at. I feel like they can ask me questions to legitimize or even define my claims. But, I guess hostility is more amusing than patience.
Castlevania took inspiration, doesn’t represent she is gay, why is her sexuality the thing they take when it has no bearing on her character.
I am sorry. But you are wrong. Do you know about Carmilla? I will store you from googling. Carmilla was written with the perspective of a lesbian vampire.

Some people may read this as a bit lesbophobic and yes it can own some lesbophobic connotations. However, the entire purpose of making Carmilla a vampire was so she can be lesbian.

It’s provocative, it’s a quick read, and it is very, very gay. “I took her hand as I spoke. I was a little shy, as lonely people are, but the situation made me eloquent, and even bold.

LGBTQ+ themes are nothing new to vampire stories. For LGBTQ+ Pride Month, I decided to inscribe about J. Sheridan LeFanu’s novella, Carmilla, which is notable for its titular lesbian vampire character. Why am I so concerned with LGBTQ+ Pride Month? I haven’t written much about LGBTQ+ issues, but I felt that this year I absolutely needed to. I wasn’t sure if my specific identity within the LGBTQ+ spectrum was essential to disclose. Then, I decided that perhaps I should just let readers know from what perspective the article is being written. Also, for personal reasons, I felt it was necessary to stand up and be counted. Writing about LGBTQ+ representation feels hypocritical if I am unwilling to uncover my identity. So, here it is: I fall under the B in LGBTQ+.
Being a 19th-century vampire story, Carmilla is far from a positive LGBTQ+ representation. The one thing it does illustrate is homophobia.

It was a cautionary tale: after Carmilla arrived, Laura got sicker and sicker, and at the complete, after the two had fallen in love, Carmilla was murdered in request to revive Laura.
Below is a quote that shows the all-encompassing nature of Carmilla and Laura&#;s relationship in the novella:
Sometimes after an hour of apathy, my strange and beautiful companion would take my hand and grip it with a fond pressure, renewed again and again; blushing softly, gazing in my confront with languid and burning eyes, and breathing so rapid that her dress rose and fell with the tumultuous respiration.
