Secret Vampire Society

Post Reply New Topic

I don't usually follow any news stories about entertainment celebrities, so I had to look this up to see what you were talking about. (Found news stories here and here, for example.)

Looks like this guy is both a general all-around a$$hole and a general all-around oddball -- an unfortunate combination for any non-celebrities out there who might happen to share any of his various oddball traits, or the oddball traits of other people described as being at his parties.

I would guess that the QAnon folks and other grand-conspiracy theorists have had a field day with the news about Diddy. But I've found no news stories, so far, about Diddy consuming blood.

I think it illustrates that some bored wealthy people engage in hidden activities in order to quench depraved desires. Cosplaying vampires is likely the tip of the iceberg. In Victorian Britain seances and Ouija boards to communicate with spirits was all the rage. the list is endless. everything from secret societies engaging in sacrifice all the way to paying mercenaries to enter war zones and hunt civilians. the concept plays out in popular cinema from James Bond to Squid games.

In that regard cosplaying vampires is tame. I'm guessing Vampire genre had it's heyday with young people during the twighlight era.

"Depraved" or otherwise. Unless someone is actually being harmed, "depraved" is a subjective value judgment on your part.

Of course, some rich folks (such as Jeffrey Epstein, to name a glaringly obvious example) do have hobbies that are truly harmful.

And there are also plenty of rich folks who pressure governments do truly harmful things to the rest of us, not as a hobby and not out of boredom, but out of sheer greed.


Cosplay, in its many varieties (the "vampire lifestyler" scene being just one of the many genres of cosplay), isn't just a rich person's thing. Plenty of middle-class and even working-class folks have been known to indulge in it too.


Your evidence of "secret societies engaging in sacrifice"???

Here you seem to be entering Satanic panic territory.


Not sure exactly what you are referring to here, but there are indeed plenty of real-world horrors that the greedy plutocrats who now run our government have been happily sponsoring abroad, such as Israel's slaughter of Palestinians in Gaza.


Not just "tame" but completely irrelevant to the real-life horrors going on in today's world.


There have been many waves of pop-cultural interest in vampires over the past several decades. The "Twilight" era was just one of them.

Yes, cosplay is popular across classes but nerd culture intersecting with cosplay tends to attract more upper-middle class people as you need to invest time and spend money on costumes, paraphernalia and travel to all the conventions.

Crystal speaking about vampire societies suggested they are mostly mega rich.

One Halloween I watched a movie about "Real Vampires" not the fictional ones....I think it might of been indie movie. I forgot the name of it though.

Sorry, not the qanon inspired child sacrifice. I meant animal sacrifice. But even that's not that widespread anymore.

Blade?

No....It was way different.

Yes, you pretty much do have to be at least upper middle class to afford to go to conventions these days. Back in the 1980's and earlier, here in the U.S.A. at least, such travel was more affordable for ordinary middle-class folks. Be that as it may, cosplayers don't need to go to conventions if they happen to live in or near a city with local clubs where they can do their thing.

The cosplayers I've personally known (including both a "vampire" lifestyler and an Elvis impersonator) were working class. Ditto for most of the few (non-cosplay) so-called "real vampires" I've known.


For various reasons, some of which I explained earlier in this thread, I don't consider "Crystal" to be a credible source at all.

Looks like "Crystal's" tale has been told by a number of different Anglosphere news sites around the world. According to this VICE story (June 9, 2025), the original source is this New York Post story (June 8, 2025) -- and I certainly am not inclined to trust the New York Post on matters of this kind. The New York Post has a long history of sensationalism and is part of the Rupert Murdoch empire.

Fair enough
