i guess also i’m kinda reeling bc during dracula daily i would occasionally see people making posts like “it’s so important to remember that dracula is racist and xenophobic and amtisemitic! don’t forget that amidst the memes!” and i will confess that my reaction was along the lines of, on the one hand you’re not wrong but on the other hand, lmao WHO THE FUCK is out here in 2022 reading this very transparently racist and xenophobic and antisemitic novel by a white irish monarchist living in england in 1897 just like blithely unaware of what’s going on? but it turns out the answer is lots of people including at least one person i found who claimed to have done his master’s thesis on dracula. so. my bad, i guess.
