Insulting a vampire...how might you do such a (dangerous) thing?

Ok, so these humans have been captured and they're like the westboro baptist people but they're protesting vampires and not gays. They know that shouting insults won't get them killed (the vampires are very worried about PR type stuff), the most they'll get is slapped do they REALLY want to ssay something that will affect them. How might they insult the vampires though? I'd like to avoid the usual "bloodsucker" "leech" insults. Those are expected. And nothing too poetic...we're talking basically redneck idiots. What might they say?

Zombie? If I were a vampire, I would be VERY offended by being compared to an even more corpselike undead.

In that vein, anything along the lines of "corpse." Or if they're religious, anything along the lines of "demon." For anything more creative, I'd need to know the details of your vampire mythos (can they enter houses uninvited, go out in the sun, subsist on animal blood/dead man's blood or only on live human's blood, do they have reflections, etc.).

The fine folks at Fellowship of the Sun have some things to say about vampires: http://fellowshipofthesun.org/home.html

okay, hold on.. where can I get the first book of the series ;)

Moved from Reference Desk. OP noted.

The rednecks I've known were not idiots—just close-minded and intolerant. Rednecks tend to have a strong us vs. them mentality. So whatever your 2080 rednecks pride themselves on being, have them taunt the vampires for being the opposite. If they think of themselves as courageous, have them accuse the vampires of being cowardly. If they think of themselves as righteous people who are on the one true path to holiness, have them call the vampires filthy beasts and repugnant sinful monsters. And so on...

I think they'd concentrate on gender and sexuality and the fact of their being dead. Perverts, deviants, anti-gay insults - and the one that might really cut deep, if you want a redneck insult to ACTUALLY anger the vampire, after the warmup of demons, Satan spawn, filthy corpses and accusations of gayness...

The final breaking straw would be to their pride.

"You cowards! I'm not afraid to meet my Maker but you, you'd do anything rather than die. You'd kill your best friend or your lover, you'd kill your kid, you'd kill anyone just to get another unbreathing night of unlife! The least of us are better than you, we're willing to put our lives on the line for Christ because we know He'd welcome us! You're just running from the Hell you deserve!"

If enough other insults precede that one, straining the tension, that last accusation of cowardice would sting deep. Especially to any of them who HAD killed relatives, loved ones, anyone they cared about even in self defense. Especially in self defense.

Surely at least one of them made a kill that made him or her cry afterwards. I think that one would go right to the heart. Especially to the most prideful or the one with the greatest regrets.

what alysdragon said

I think being called an evil and disgusting "thing" as opposed to "man" or "person" would be fairly insulting, as it pretty much strips vampires of their humanity.

Well, I hate to go for the gendered anti-sex-worker insults, but as you've likened your anti-vamp protesters to the WBC, I feel they're somewhat expected. If there's a female vampire who's very powerful, they might call her "Satan's whore" or something along those lines. just feel like they'd be massive slut-shamers and thus would insult the sexuality (if they have any?) of any lady vamps they come across, especially if she was in charge or generally revered by other vampires.

And building off of what the person above me said, they could refer to vampires as "it" instead of by the correct pronouns. That would probably cut deep, and it's actually used in real life--one of the most insulting things you can do to a non-binary person is refer to hir as "it" instead of by the pronouns zie prefers.

go the venture bros route and have a character that just calls them "Draculas" instead of vampires. The vampires could get super annoyed and tell him that not all of them are named "Dracula". lol

"Draculas are foul cursed beasts that are condemned to hell! All Draculas will burn!!!"

"Draculas Suck!"
