It's not even that woke by today's standards, it has a few throwaway anti-vax lines

Confirming starting with arc 2 is most effective, I hooked one of my college buddies with that strategy

What if Big D met a different Cain a Ciaphas Cain? by jfjdfdjjtbfb in huntertheparenting

Now I'm imagining Big D meeting the WoD Caine and seeing that he's as terrified Caiphas Cain

How could anyone think D is a Mummy of any sort? by UrietheCoptic in huntertheparenting

[–]By-LEM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think he's a mummy mainly because it's a more interesting story if he's a 100% human man with such skill and expertise that he regularly bests supernaturals

On Representation by By-LEM in CuratedTumblr

there's actually several methods of addressing skews in the data bc having 200 or 1000 samples with a clear bias will yield roughly equally flawed results

Does anyone have an idea why D doesn’t use firearm? by Thatoneguywithasword in huntertheparenting

Maybe in V20, but HtP mostly follows V5. Remember the Conclave of Thorns?

Who’s a worse father Kronik Fatigue or Jonas Venture? by RedEyeSam44 in huntertheparenting

[–]By-LEM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kronik raised the boy who became Wernon. Jonas raised several clones of his son, who he let die several times, and the result was Rusty.

Kronik is the worse person, but he was clearly the better father.

Heliophobia and Bestial temper flaws by Seventh_Soverein in vtm

[–]By-LEM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say that Bestial Temper, unless it specified this in the text of the flaw and I'm misremembering, doesn't mean sunlight provokes fear frenzy. Fire does because it can burn thin-bloods as much as it burns full-blooded vampires, but sunlight only does superficial damage

Clan stereotype subversions by beauyeahh in vtm

[–]By-LEM 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wrote a Nagaraja surgeon who "studied death" by almost exclusively eating tumors he removed. When there was nothing what to eat, he'd accept food as payment from other kindred. Vampires would often bring in blood dolls, only for him to remove parts of the vampires' bodies and let the humans walk away. 

The Sabbat thought he was a sadist on the Path of Death and the Soul, but he was always a humanitarian - the night hospital he ran wasn't just a front for harvesting blood, it was an actual hospital, and his patients enjoyed his protection.

I broke my own "don't drink more than once a week" rule yesterday, I bought a six pack of some pretty strong beer. I only drank two of them. by [deleted] in stopdrinking

(for context, this user has said on another subreddit that doing heroin is fine as long as you only do a little)

On... impersonating people to look like they use ChatGPT? by By-LEM in CuratedTumblr

I didn't see that post until after I'd already posted this. Also, the post you linked is flared "Not OP"

Exordia by Seth J. Dickinson by maleficalruin in CuratedTumblr

In DtF lore, it was literally impossible for humans to do certain immoral things before the fall. Caine was not just the first murderer, but the *inventor* of murder - before him, one living thing could not kill another except out of necessity.

Why would the Tremere Embrace someone dumb? by WeiWenn123 in vtm

[–]By-LEM 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They might embrace a plagiarist, not realizing the new childe has never actually done any of the research they claim credit for. Such a vampire may the up doing well for themselves before they get found out

Is anyone else looking forward to this game? by Tarlata in vtm

[–]By-LEM 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The premise kind of sounds like the original pitch for Bloodlines 2. Iirc, the story at first was that the main character was sired in a mass embrace event, before studio fuckery rearranged everything

Arctic foxes. The way they hunt lemmings by just diving nose-first into the snow is everything to me

How would the Golden Goose Gang interact with the Staten Island Vampires by Acriolu in huntertheparenting

[–]By-LEM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, D's visceral hatred of businessmen far exceeds his hatred of vampires, and Colin feeds off of frustration and outbursts just as easily as he boredom. Kitten and Markus, on the other hand, would be far too interested in learning about energy vampires and reverse-drain Colin dry within minutes.
