@sapphicdeancas @starswheeled I have visceral reactions to plenty of things. What makes it fascism is not the totally natural psychological reaction of repellence. What makes it fascism is making it everyone else’s problem by harassing and through harassment trying to control the fandom cultural landscape

I think finding it weird and disturbing is fine, for it is a disturbing subject and it’s in yr hands to block it, but trying to create an environment where abuse can’t be portrayed, painted, written or spoken about is not okay. And that’s my opinion.

claudia considers both louis and lestat her adoptive parents- even by the 1940s, she describes louis and lestat taking her in as an adoption to madeleine. "lestat is one of claudia's fathers" is a morally-neutral sentence centering claudia’s own perspective of their relationship
