@sigurdfenrisson2446 That sounds like a book in its own right.

The WWDITS thing is based on vampires hiding away from society and being out of touch. It also reflects a bit on how we all tend to cling to aspects of our past as we age (80s music was the best. Fight me). But importantly for the show, it allows them to use a lot of "fish out of water" humor. It's worth noting too that the show does include a lot of more modern acclimated vampires (Colin Robinson himself being an example).

@jl453k2 It's also about current-dayism. Sharing a room or even a bed has not always had the sexual connotations we've come to give it these days.

@jellyfishjones4741 And they may have been women that just liked the male aesthetic. With all the fuss about social constructs you think that would be a fairly obvious option. Tomboys are being brushed under the carpet.

@EbonyPope I would agree that a lot of the male vampires are that way but would counter that there's a lot that aren't too. Obviously, recent times is a special case but in the broader scope, it might be interesting to look at how vampires are represented and how that divides down between intended audiences and whether authors and directors are male or female (and other possible filters). I don't think there's a broad-brush that can be used.

Elmo, on the other hand, has stated that he's a "Friend of Dorothy" which doesn't get more explicit without outright saying it.

I thought it was a result of being turned vampire. Was it confirmed either way anywhere?

I agree with nearly all of your points but having read a fair bit of Anne Rice back in the day, she definitely be that way. (the homoeroticism thing. I think the trans allegory is a stretch though people could certainly see parallels to their own situation, it's more of a generalized thing, not that specific).
