Frankly I think both are true. The very nature of an organization like the Camarilla means they would have to use underhanded tactics similar to any organized crime family. The personal horror comes from individuals having to deal with their new lives in this much more hellish environment. I really didn't like that Bloodlines didn't fully embrace how drastic of a change it is for you. I can only imagine this is a result of rushed development because my favourite encounter in the game is with someone called Samantha. When you reach Hollywood she suddenly recognizes you. This could have been a source of a lot of solid character work but you're only able to get rid of her in various ways. Can't talk to her, plead with her, and biting her is just like biting any other NPC. Bloodlines nails what I think larger Vampire Society operates like but has some harsh misses on what its like to have just been turned.
