Thanks for posting these thoughts! They are interesting to contemplate.

It is certainly a gutsy vid, and I think it can be read on many levels.

For example, I found it an effective vid about the nature of Slayerness and Vampirism in and of itself, even setting aside questions of race. (You know, not that you should, just that there was a lot in the vid to think about.)

It took me a while to get used to the idea of Robin Wood as a Slayer, because I am accostumed to (and enjoy/like) the grrrlpower! part of Slayerness, but once I grasped that aspect of the vid, I really enjoyed and respected its powerful story and masterful storytelling. I can see why you think that portrayal might be problematic, though.
