It started a long time ago, but in my lifetime, it got popular with Anne Rice and the Vampire Chronicles. More recently, books, movies, and TV shows like Buffy, Twilight, and now, a new show called "The Vampire Diaries", and True Blood all seem to be flooding the entertainment market with images and advocacy for vampire and demon love. What message are they trying to spread here? Does it tell us that it's ok to love evil, or does it tell is that good can be found in the darkest soul? Considering the demographic that these types of shows are targeting, primarily teens, it's definitely a dangerous message to be hazy about.
We're teaching our kids that it's ok to love and embrace demons. We're showing them how to kill each other in a virtual video game world, so that they'll be better soldiers when they grow up. I'm not sure what the end goal to the message is, but I don't like where this is going.
