50:49 The Paul and Lestat Scene

This was inevitable ever since people started using social media activism surrounding media to build popularity.

Lestat has been a fan favorite ever since Anne Rice wrote his book over 40 years ago, when the characters were all white, and used him for the main character of majority of her TVC books.

Show!Lestat is a lot more harmful to Louis and Claudia than in the book. He doesn’t follow the creed of only eating evildoers like in the book. He dropped Louis which he didn’t do in the book. He was abusive to Claudia, which outside of turning her, he wasn’t in the books. He is much more responsible for Nicki’s death than he was in the books.

But Lestat haters would have you believe that the showrunners made him MORE likable because he’s white. 🤣

The characters who have actually been woobified more than their book characters are Louis and Armand. Are the showrunners woobifiying them because they’re being played by POC actors?

Rolin straight up tells us that he didn’t make Louis a slave owner because no one would have sympathy for a slave owner, but you will have Louis fans crying because he admitted to being a pimp, a liar and an abuser. I guess it’s ok to woobify a Black character.

Then we have Armand who has been the most defanged character of the whole show.

Armand doesn’t drop Lestat from the tower. He doesn’t chop Claudia’s head off and sew it back on. He doesn’t non consensually drink from Lestat, and force him to relive his rape from Magnus. He doesn’t force his coven into the fire because they no longer believed in him. He’s not a pedo like he is in the books.

And yet these same Armand fans will sit up here and cry about Lestat being made a victim and is skirting all responsibility when Armand still hasn’t apologized for killing Claudia. Anytime he’s confronted about anything he brings up the fact he was trafficked 500 years ago. Not once has he sincerely accepted accountability or apologized.

IMO it’s not about Lestat’s whiteness. It’s about your favorite character is not the fandom’s favorite character so the most convenient excuse is “it’s because he’s white”.

Another thing I want to point out is Lestat is the only one who apologized to the ones he’s harmed without cutting off their heads and trying to force an apology from them. He is the only one to admit his faults without having to pay someone to hold up a mirror for him. He’s the only one who doesn’t downplay his actions. And he’s the only one who doesn’t use his trauma as an excuse for his bad behavior.

And that has nothing to do with his whiteness.

Akasha the destroyer!

This is going to be fun to see!
