I’m pretty sure if I was a dude I would still think vampire Kiefer Sutherland was extremely fuckable, regardless of general gender preferences. That sexy evil laugh… gives me chills just thinking about it.
He was a very unique and cool looking young man. When he got older and started doing 24 I couldn’t believe that all the attitude, and all the coolness factor was gone.
But to your point, when straight dudes think another dude is cool, or handsome, they don’t want to bone them. They want to be like them, or befriend them, or sometimes fight them. We don’t always make sense.
All the same vampire stories have always been about same sex people feeling wrongful desires as the suck on each other’s necks. It’s a genre about being gay and or kinky.
You don’t have to add the “gay”, there is not and there cannot be any vampire literature that isn’t extremely gay.
Counter point: Blade
(Though it is debatable if he counts as literature)
Oh yeah there’s nothing homoerotic about Blade
He cameoed on WWDITS, so he easily fits under the gay umbrella.
Early 2000s vampire stuff was not gay. Somehow, the gayness as taken over.
Not a bad thing, just interesting.
Twilight changed it. Vampires used to be ruthless killers. They turned them emo.
I suspect it’s more just that 1990s gay men didn’t code themselves that much in the way of fashion.
Some were swept up in grunge, others went normcore, many wanted a career so coded themselves around that.
The Lost boys might equally be a bunch of California grunge gays, but that has no visual coding to it to be seen.
Possible. A lot of 1990s gay men were very fabulous but I suppose plenty kept it more low key since it was less acceptable back then.
The Lost Boys. I rest my case.

But on the other hand $20 is $20…

Have you seen Lost Boys? They’re not sucking on necks. They’re straight up murdering people, biting through their skulls and ripping their arms off.
Most who get an Anime aren’t gay. “Call of the night” i think? for example, is not gay.
