Van Helsing Hate Crimes: Difference between revisions

** They're [[Straw Man Has a Point|completely justified]], however, regardless of how stupid they are portrayed. Vampires almost to a man consist entirely of murderous blood-crazed psychopaths (not unlike the vampires in ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]''). The vampires who are main characters are the only ones who demonstrate any kind of self-control, and even then they freely kill anyone who threatens them or their lovers. It should be noted that in [[The Sookie Stackhouse Mysteries]], the Chaotic Evil types are the exceptions and are despised by "mainstreaming" vamps like Eric and Bill. Though, with a few exceptions, even the mainstreaming vamps can be utterly ruthless in pursuit of their (usually nebulous) goals.

* The UK miniseries ''[[Ultraviolet (TV series)|Ultraviolet]]'' centers around the moral progression of the main character after he kills his friend-turned-vampire and joins up with the people hunting them. According to them vampires, or Code Fives, are a "public health problem" who must be neutralized before they can organize any further. When it's revealed that the Code Fives {{spoiler|don't actually murder their prey, but even more importantly are close to designing viable synthetic blood}} Michael's role begins to change.

* The Van Helsings in ''[[Young Dracula]]'' towards Vlad.

* A ''[[Grimm (TV)|Grimm]]'' inevitably has this reputation among the creatures [[The Masquerade|hiding their presence]] by [[They Look Just Like Everyone Else|living among humans]]. As Grimms have the ability to see them for what they really are [[Glamour Failure|if they lose control]], they've historically been known to mercilessly hunt and slaughter non-humans. [[The Hero|Nick]], however, being a police officer, tries to treat them as he would anyone else once he figures out what's going on, and even prefers to arrest the ones who break the law whenever possible, rather than hunting them.

** That said, even the ones who legitimately try to live normal lives can be extremely dangerous. Even Monroe, the [[Friendly Neighborhood Vampire|Friendly Neighborhood]] [[Our Werewolves Are Different|Big Bad Wolf]] only says that he doesn't kill people ''anymore'', and ended up ripping a guy's arm off when he lost control in a fight.

* Father Kemp of ''[[Being Human (UK)]]'' has no qualms in killing most of Bristol's vampire population, kills werewolves under the guise of helping them, and forcibly exorcises ghosts. He does this in spite of good number of them actually being decent people just trying to live a normal life.
