/I wish for a day where I can pick up a vampire book and not all the female vampires are utter whores who dress so provocativly that you have to wonder if they are wearing clothes or rags./

Well, traditionally, vampirism has been used as a metaphor for the dark side of sexuality, so I suppose that the writers could use that as an excuse. Except...often the male vampires aren't as scantily-clad as their female counterparts.

I don't know if you've ever seen Linkara's comic reviews on "Atop the Fourth Wall," but there's one episode where he dryly notes how a female character usually loses more clothes as she falls further and further to the dark side, while a male character usually *gains* more clothes as he becomes more evil. Villains are often fully covered, while villainesses are usually the opposite. Because heterosexual teenage comic book fans wouldn't drool over half-naked bad boys; they'd drool over half-naked bad *girls.* -_-
