There's something remarkably tone-deaf about ret-conning real murders of actual women (even to the extent of using their actual fucking names) as Pretty Awesome because they are actually vampires. I'm surprised that this concept got as far as it did.
"Many didn’t see an issue with using the real names of the murder victims, however. The agreement within the team was that if they could not develop an experience that was respectful of the history and the victims involved, then they wouldn’t do it."
Yes, I'm sure that turning a sexually-oriented thrill killing spree of powerless women into an interactive entertainment product was right on the verge of being "respectful". Maybe the scenes where you rip out the uteruses (uterii?) of the victims could be done in tasteful period-appropriate sepia?
