So someone sent us a book about a girl called Isadora Moon, it looks cute and innocent but when you actually read the story its obviously designed to promote multiracial values. The girl is "half fairy half vampire" because her mum is a fairy who had babies with her dad, a vampire, teaching your child that race mixing is fine. The fairies and the vampires act differently but their both nice, just so your child learns all cultures are equally valid. What about the evil vampire habit of sucking blood out of their victims? No according to the story vampires just drink red juice, come to think of it lying to defend vampires is really quite like lying to defend Muslims. The worst thing is, this interbred mongrel girl ends up going to a normal school because "they don't mind if you're different". Anyway, I'm throwing this book in the recycling and I suggest you do too if someone buys it as a "present" for your kids.

Anyway, I'm throwing this book in the recycling and I suggest you do too Meanwhile, the publishers - as well as the author - still have your money.
As if they care what happens to that product once it's paid for.
Haven't thought this one through have you, eh Sparky...?!
Just wait till the OP hears about the manga "Interspecies Reviewers
Yeah, that book is terrible! Vampires are evil fiends! Teach kids to accept vampires and next thing you know they'll be... oh don't make me say it... reading Twilight! The horror! The only good vampire is a dead vampire! Except, even the dead vampires are bad! Down with vampires! Humanity forever! ... *continues on with incoherent rambling, spittle flying everywhere*

In other words, it sends the idea that it’s okay to be different. Perfectly normal message for children’s fare, but terrifying to Mr. Mighty Whitey here.

Race mixing is fine. Culturally, it prevents stagnation, as seen with feudal Japan. Genetically, it prevents inbreeding, as seen with dogs.
The fairies and the vampires act differently but their both nice, just so your child learns all cultures are equally valid.
So some cultures are utterly and objectively invalid? By what metric? Who elected you sole arbiter as to which cultures are allowed? And why should I take you seriously as a literary critic when you can’t even use the right “they’re?”
No according to the story vampires just drink red juice, come to think of it lying to defend vampires is really quite like lying to defend Muslims.
Yeah; It’s not actually being done in any meaningful sense that you need to be concerned with. Have you forgotten that vampires aren’t real?! You’re allowed to take creative liberties with fantasy races. Marceline eats shades of red. The Discworld vampires can overcome their thirst for blood by shifting focus to an obsession with something else, be it coffee, photography or politics. Mighty Max had a vampire who sucked blood, but every other bit of traditional vampire lore was thrown out. If you can only see “lying to defend Muslims” in all that, the problem lies with you.
The worst thing is, this interbred mongrel girl ends up going to a normal school because "they don't mind if you're different".
*pfft* Schools accepting the weird kid? Now that’s fantasy.

And after an endorsement like this, I know what my niece is getting for her birthday.
"half fairy half vampire"
A vampairy?

Or a fairpire?
That would probably be someone with a fairy father and a vampire mother. Isadora, having a vampire father and a fairy mother, would be a vampairy.
Just like how a male tiger/female lion offspring is a ‘tigon’, while a male lion/female tiger offspring is a ‘liger’.
I heard Streicher had children books written. You could make your own racist books instad of whining about mainstream editors not wanting to print out racist propaganda for children.
This sound like textbook corruption of minors.
"No according to the story vampires just drink red juice, come to think of it lying to defend vampires is really quite like lying to defend Muslims."
In other books vampires AND fairies drink blood. They're fictional, so they can do whatever the author wants them to do.
So, if they drink red juice IN THE STORY, they drink red juice. Fact. YOU are just bringing your prejudice into someone else's reality, and calling the actual facts "lies."
@Vanto #49051
Yes, it was, and that’s why I say she missed the reference. Sounds like the “vampire” in the book is a stand in for Jews, showing that Jews don’t actually drink blood. The book itself referenced Blood Libel, and SerenWen missed it entirely, instead seeing Muslims.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
