That is entirely fair. I only know V:tM from people I knew who played it… but they were, as individuals, definitely more on the fascist side, leaning more into the glamour of being a monster rather than the horror of being a monster.

I hope more groups and players lean into the horror of it more than the glamour. Maybe this note is trying to encourage that.

I think treating inhumanity as horror is pretty fascist. I'm in love with a very sweet monster who hates Nazis, and I'm a big fan of Guillermo del Toro's movies where humans tend to be more evil than monsters.

In My experience VTM players trend fascist because the game encourages you to accept the Camarilla's fascist idolisation of humanity.

Inhumanity meaning "extremely cruel behaviour or treatment of people."

Strangely enough it doesn't have the "not a human" meaning inhuman, but English is weird.

That's because we speak a language designed by human supremacists.

True, but in fairness I tried to discuss utilitarianism with my cat over dinner and his response was trying to steal food off my plate.

Which in hindsight could have actually been a rather profound commentary on the pursuit of happiness in a utilitarian framework.
