Notice how Dracula comes to London and kills one white woman and suddenly everyone is all "kill Dracula" this and "kill Dracula" that. Never mind that Dracula could be a priceless source of information about history. Never mind that he defended Christendom from the Turk. No, we lose one ingenue and suddenly it's a plague of vampires bringing the British Empire to its knees. Out come the stakes and away goes the critical thinking.

And Abraham Van Helsing? Yeah, he's not licensed to practice vampire-hunting by any governing body. Basically, he incites a group of young men to assassinate a foreign dignitary. Because they refuse to allow a woman to have agency. Maybe Mina likes Dracula better, boys. Maybe you shouldn't be sore losers.

Dracula: innocent victim. #DraculaWasFramed
