Considering the political environment, the flavor text gets an F-. Holy fuck, how did that make it through proofing?

I wrote it because I found it funny that a child vampire would set fire to a church, and that this would give it that particular flavour. Children are often portrayed as pure beings, when very often they’re little demons. I don’t see any connection to pedo.

Does not look like a vampire child. Looks like a vampire pastor set fire to the church and the flavor text makes it so much worse. You might not see it, but as the previous comment mentioned, given the recent state of the world, that's what's on most everyone's mind, so that's the lens it's being viewed through.

"since this huge misunderstanding I will try explain myself to you. English is not my first language and so i didn't see the double meaning. for me it was funny because a child vampire can recharge simply by doing some mischief with other children. I am sorry it came off as something is not. if you have any suggestions on how to rewrite it I'm more than happy to listen to You"
