First of all: Vampires can't be judged by Twilight. Twilight was written specifically to attract teenage girls. Stephenie Meyer isn't going around claiming that what she wrote is factual. It's purely entertainment for young girls. THUS they should not be included in conversations about vampires. People who bring them up in topics like this are just looking for an excuse to bitch.
Second: The question is "Who likes vampires?" It's not "What do you think of vampires?" So, if you don't like vampires, you really shouldn't be posting on this particular discussion since it's completely irrelevant to the question that's being asked.
That being said: I am fascinated by vampires and have spent actual time researching them and studying about them. They're more than just blood-sucking monsters. They're way deeper than us. They are not bound by human limits (ie. ethics, religion, humanity, greed, etc...). They see things differently than we do. Everything is different for them. Of course, you should fear them because they will not think twice about draining you. But they're interaction with each other is what makes me interested in them. They love deeper than we do and they mate forever. They're loyal to their kind and wouldn't kill each other for selfish reasons. If vampires were humans, they'd have more humanity towards each other than we do. Vampires feed off humans because it's their instinct. But, they're not killers. They're not even necessarily evil. We only think they are because they kill humans. But that's how they survive. That's like saying human are evil because we kill cows, pigs and chickens to eat. It's just how the food chain works. Vampires are FAR superior to humans. But, of course, humans think they're superior to everything (even to other humans who are in a lower class), so of course anything that threatens them are evil or monstrous.
Those of you saying vampires are overrated don't know anything about them except what you see on tv and in movies. And you're most likely just sick of all the hype about vampires that has been caused by Twilight. Let's keep Twilight and vampires in separate categories and not include them in the same discussions.
