 And if we consider historical context...it's likely vampires would get gradually //more// racist over time, instead of //less//. Remember how they've witnessed a lot thruout history? Well, imagine witnessing every barbarian invasion thruout history, then the effects of colonialism, then the effects of mass migration (in more modern times) alongside anything else I can’t immediately think of.\\ And if we consider historical context...it's likely vampires would get gradually //more// racist over time, instead of //less//.

 It would be very difficult to convince an old sexy vampress that being racist is wrong when she witnessed the Islamic Invasions, Mongol Invasions, the Haitian Revolution, the decolonization of Mozambique, the rise of Zimbabwe, the fall of Apartheid, both Congo Wars and the Rwandan Genocide. It would be very difficult to convince an old sexy vampress that being racist is wrong when she witnessed the Islamic Invasions, Mongol Invasions, the Haitian Revolution, the decolonization of Mozambique, the rise of Zimbabwe, the fall of Apartheid, both Congo Wars and the Rwandan Genocide.

 === Sexism === === Sexism ===
 If we strictly define sexism as any view that men and women are not equal...the majority of vampires would be sexist. But if we define it as seeing the other gender as subhuman, it's likely that the majority of vampires wouldn't be sexist.\\ If we strictly define sexism as any view that men and women are not equal...the majority of vampires would be sexist.

 === Homophobia/Transphobia === === Homophobia/Transphobia ===
 This is an unambiguous case: vampires would probably be supremely homophobic and transphobic. This is an unambiguous case: vampires would probably be supremely homophobic and transphobic.

 A question I did ask myself is whether vampires would be fine with crossdressing. And what I concluded is that it's inconclusive and would depend on the city or religious beliefs. I think that, in general, it would be frowned upon...but not as much as being transgender. A question I did ask myself is whether vampires would be fine with crossdressing.

 Rather than classisim, though, vampires would be hierarchical and expect people to know their place in society. Rather than classisim, though, vampires would be hierarchical and expect people to know their place in society.

 === Debauchery === === Debauchery ===
 I find it unlikely that vampires would be decadent or that they'd favor debauchery/indulging in pleasures. This is because, again, they've witnessed the literal ends of civilizations, so they prioritize stability.\\ I find it unlikely that vampires would be decadent or that they'd favor debauchery/indulging in pleasures.

 This implies the possibility of the hilarious situation where a sexy vampire waifu actually doesn't like the idea of pre-marital sex because if the relationship breaks off, it could lead to jealousy down the line. This implies the possibility of the hilarious situation where a sexy vampire waifu actually doesn't like the idea of pre-marital sex because if the relationship breaks off, it could lead to jealousy down the line.

 Slavery is ambiguous though the reasons why might be surprising. Slavery is ambiguous though the reasons why might be surprising.

 Also! I completely forgot to mention blood bonds (//Masquerade/////Requiem// terminology)...or enslaving humans via...something or other. In //Masquerade// and //Requiem// you can enslave someone by making them drink your blood – this turns a regular human into a ghoul and a vampire into...your slave. This also appears in //Dracula// and seems to pop up in other things as well.\\ Also!

 If this exists, then what vampires think of slavery changes significantly...as well as how they operate. So I'm briefly mentioning it here before I make bigger changes. If this exists, then what vampires think of slavery changes significantly...as well as how they operate.
