Why werewolves aren't as popular as vampires?

because furries

Vampires = sexy humans
Werewolves = angry dogs
Gee I wonder. I know some would dick down the angry dog but they're the minority.

>most popular franchise on planet earth (you are here) has a werewolf but not a vampire
your move, atheists.

>>714967950
>>714967978
I think women are way more furry than we think they just don't call themselves that

>>714967978
Twilight = gay vampire movie
Dog soldiers = werewolf horror/action kino

>>714968212
wanting to fuck a wolf isn't furry, it's when you think you are one.

>>714968262

Werewolves are pretty much exclusively male-coded and furry-coded, while vampires can be either hot guys or hot women without any consistency issues.

>>714968262
Twilight also has werewolves
And there are countless more vampkino than yiffbaits

>>714968102
I always thought it was odd that vampires are mentioned offhand in the very first book and then nothing comes of it. Like even the giants and werewolves get to finally do something when they team up with Voldemort at the end but I don't think the vampires even do that much.

>>714968102
I remember way back in the day during the agonizing wait for the fifth book to release one point of speculation was it introducing a vampire student, or maybe it was just me, I dunno, it was a long time ago

>>714968102
>werewolf is just a scrawny chihuahua
Hope the remake makes it look closer to the Van Helsing one

Anyone here played earthblood?

>>714967663 (OP)
Because vampires are superpowered humans while werewolves are just wolves on 2 legs.

>>714968262
Vampires: some of the most iconic lolis ever
Werewolves: are there even any loli werewolves?

>>714967663 (OP)
Vampires are a metaphor for rich old fucks sucking the next generation dry. Werewolves are a metaphor for dudes who get angry. Which one of those is more compelling

>>714968102
Snape was a vampire though (non-canon, but who cares).

Do werewolves have their own "Dracula"? Because I just realize there is very little iconic werewolf media while vampires have a ton

>>714968752
as I understand, harry potter werewolves take on the traits of the person that transformed

>>714968212

>>714968898
being furry ecoterrorist unabomber sounds kino, who wants to be lord edelbert shekelstein the third?

>>714967663 (OP)
Werewolves just aren't that interesting compared to vampires. Guy turns into a large humanoid wolf, that's it. Vampires on the other hand have numerous supernatural abilities and live forever.

>>714968664
Its because vampires are intergrated into magical society and are basically treated as human

The only real evidence is that they sell blood lolipops in the candy store specifically for vampires but i don't see that happening if they were dqngerous killers and a threat to society

>>714969064
>who wants to be a rich guy who feeds on the young
Everyone does? Remember that sucking blood is metaphor for sex

>>714967663 (OP)
There's more variety in what you can do with vampires in media. With werewolves it's either HULK SMASH: HORROR EDITION or furaggotry.

>>714968262
Werewolf kino:
>Dog Soldiers
>Howl
>Bad Moon

>>714969134
I guess? It's been literal decades since I read the first book but I remember part of Quirrel's cover story was being paranoid of getting caught by the vampire he had dealings with at some point, so presumably they can be dangerous but not necessarily.

>>714968348
>Werewolves are pretty much exclusively male-coded and furry-coded
Says fucking you, my dream woman is an eight foot tall werewolf with big furry tits that drags me into the woods to breed with her over and over.

>>714969501

>>714967663 (OP)
because they're lame as shit
>BIG WOLF AWOOOO
who cares

>>714968348
>>714969501
There should be more werewolf girls in media. The only major one I can think of is Ginger Snaps and that's from a while ago now.

Werewolves are all about "loss of control" which makes for less fun stories and games than Vampires, which often get misinterpreted as "you get superpowers at the cost of a lot of restrictions".

>>714967663 (OP)
Because sentient werewolves are fucking gay

>>714969501
Holy based

>>714969501
gay

>>714969721
So, its The Hulk. People love The Hulk

>>714969276
god I wish werewolf bfs were real

>>714967663 (OP)
Because vampires have a wide range of interpretations, from mystic satan mage to Nosferatu feral man, from edgelord ninja to coomer nobleman
Werewolves in comparison are way more narrow and limited to angry brutes

>>714969754
Non sentient werewolve stories inevitably get really fucking stupid by the third act when you have to keep making up reasons why no one can kill a big dog.

Vampires
>intelligent
>sexy
>mind control powers or at least unspeakable rizz
>immortal

Werewolves
>mindless savages
>furbait
>no cool powers
>extremely mortal in human form

>>714968893
how about the local wolf girl goes awoo that was spammed for years?

>>714969971
Werewolves have just as many interpretations honestly. From shamans with DnD druid powers to wolf costumes that give you super strength but dont actually transform you, to people who just turn into regular wolves under certain conditions.

>>714967663 (OP)
Because vampires can move among regular humans without alerting them. That's part of the point, that there is a predator is their midst and they don't even know it. Vampires operate almost in plain sight. Werewolves cause the entire situation to turn into a shitstorm the moment they transform. The only time they work well is in a setting where people aren't surprised when a monster appears. Which is what werewolves are. So only in areas that are practically warzones are the only places they can truly do their thing. Meanwhile vampires can be doing all their blood drinking, mind controlling, murdering and corrupting human society without alerting everyone

>>714967663 (OP)
Vampire and warewolf are very popular but i think there are very few media out there with good vamp/wolf
We need more hellsing/vampireD/bloodborne/hellboy like vampire/wwolf

>>714969721
>Werewolves are all about "loss of control"
This is precisely why I feel like women actually like werewolves a bit more than vampires, as far as sex goes. Vampires are the charming, romance novel types that get a girl into bed and make dark, passionate love to them, which I'm sure is fine and appealing for their conscious brains. But werewolves? Werewolves are primal urges made manifest, and a werewolf during sex would be rough and dominant, a mirror of the exact moment a human man goes fully primal during sex, and I have no doubt most women secretly love the idea of being held down and fucked with wild abandon by a strong brute that wants to claim her in every way imaginable.

>>714969953
Where are all the female werewolves?
Do they hate their constantly horny males just like mares do?

>>714970225
Momiji is honestly barely a character even within the limited narrative of Touhou. Also not really a werewolf.

Vampires are cooler.

>>714970237
Problem is werewolf interpretation also vary a lot from what is the perceived "main" myth. Berserker turning into a werewolf when he wears a wolf pelt doesn't really scream WEREWOLF to your average person, for example.

>>714970458
>Also not really a xxx
that's true for everything the japs do. i'm 100% sure japs think a vampire is just any white little girl with blond hair and red eyes.

>>714967663 (OP)
Vampires have infinitely more swagger and sex appeal. This isn't a hard thing to figure out.

>>714970454
If only World of Darkness' Werewolf lines were more popular.

>>714969276
Christ I want to be a werewolf so badly. I'd give anything to become a werewolf, literally and figuratively.

>>714968102
>Furfags clinging to guest appearances in other media while there is literally zero good media with furshit
desperation ritual

>>714967663 (OP)
werewolfs are just animals. They might look cool but that's all there is too them

>>714970586
Right but all the iconic vampire anime girls are actually called vampires in-universe, in Momiji's case she's literally just a tengu (forma loba blanca).

>>714967663 (OP)
vampires are the 9000 year old loli cope but for females

>>714970789
Except a lot of those lolis are also vampires.

>>714970454
>Where are all the female werewolves?
thankfully missing. you KNOW what would happen, right? their menstrual and moon cycles would synchronize so you'd get a bitch doubly insane.

>>714970774
i guess the japs are much more into foxdemon lolis than wolf lolis anyway. are wolves even native to japan?

>>714967978
>Werewolves = angry dogs
>Gee I wonder. I know some would dick down the angry dog but they're the minority.

>>714970989
Sauce?

>>714970960
Used to have their own native wolf species but they got hunted to extinction.

>>714970960
Yes but I think they went extinct a while ago. Two unique species and both are extinct, IIRC.

>>714970485
Vampires are gay

>>714971217
Werewolves are bestiality

>>714971217
Yeah, they'll do that, read Carmilla.

Ever since furries showed up cool werewolves aren't really a thing. They took the edge away and made them cartoony looking with I want to rape you eyes that people find unsettling. Vampires will always mog the hell out of them, because it's mostly just attractive people seducing others and drinking their blood. They also are insanely strong and fast and aren't dogs.

>>714967663 (OP)
You think they have it bad?
You should see mummies and frankensteins.
Hell, where do even classic horror monsters fit these days with modern horror.

>>714971402
go back to your coffin, vlad.

When was the last time a movie or show did werewolves justice?

Rate my werewolf

>>714967663 (OP)
Most people are disgusted by furshit and don't consider it attractive.

>>714971580
That cartoony look is exactly the problem with modern werewolves.
He's neither scary nor breedable. Vampires have at least one of these traits.
