Question: Why is it that there is so much negativity about Vampirism? Is it due to just people not knowing anything aside from myths and movies or is it truly something that frightens people?

Greetings,

There is much in the way of myth and fantasy when it comes to Vampirism. There is a great amount of the public that knows nothing of Vampirism other then what has been portrayed in movies, books, and games. It is very hard to overcome such a medium when it is so inundating. The more we can reach out to others with the realities of Vampirism, the better we are able to affect how they view it, and in turn, have ourselves seen in a better light.

On another hand, there are those who do see Vampirism as something frightening. Whether it be due to personal experiences that were misunderstood, or just the fact of so much media hype, they cannot see it any other way, no matter how much reality is shown to them.

The only thing that we can do is continue to bring about the realities of Vampirism in anyway that we can and hope that all we can reach out to carry some kind of understanding forward with them and share with others they might come across in their paths in life.
