I think what is frustrating with the whole "pimp" thing is that Louis is never allowed to be more than one thing in this fandom. He is not allowed to be dynamic, even when he is one of the vampires who is often excited and curious about the ever changing world around him; think about how he took up photography and was excited to dip his fingers into the new age art that was springing up in Paris ( and how Santiago mocked him for that at the table). Like Louis is a businessman, of course he would be excited by new things- he is good at picking out lucrative markets and turning it into profits. You want to have a discussion on themes of exploitation, capitalism and how this show over the seasons may have tried to make a commentary on it? Sure, you are welcome to it, but why is it that it is Louis who is always cast in the light of the exploiter? There's no one else to be talked about? This season came into being with the book as its backdrop- am I to believe there's no intelligent discussion to be had about exploitation at the hands of those who have considerable sway in the field of mass media? We live in a world where companies like Amazon are veering into media production, where micro trends dominate social media, influencers peddle fast fashion, and celebrities tout starvation as chic-> (grown women are to look like children), and journalists seem to be constantly pushing the goalpost on what constitutes as a genocide. So you live in this kind of world and watch a show where a hodgepodge of a book based on a lynching is central to the conflict-whose vampiric author, is riding the high of commercial success and has now gotten a new opportunity to further cash in on the craze, and the most intelligent thought you all can come up with "is Louis pimping out Lestat by owning 45% of his merch?". In fact forget even that, you all don't even see Lestat being petty by having both Daniel and Fareed in his entourage! You all aren't even mad at the Talamasca!

Louis is never allowed to trace and retrace his steps at his own leisure. Everything has to be to the T, Louis can't falter because faltering would mean lying, would mean malevolence. It's crazy how it always ends up being a version of "was it raining Louis?" Because if Louis can't even remember if he tracked in mud that evening, then how can he ever be believed when he says exactly how he had his bones broken by his husband? Cause let's be real that's what all this is about. Louis is never allowed to be more than one thing, he is never allowed to change his mind, cause that would mean he was lying. He can't ever revoke his consent- to do so would be cruel and unfair. Basically you all will never allow Louis to leave that church, you all will never allow him to leave that confessional box- he is to forever be the pimp and confess his sins; back then to a pastor and now apparently to Lestat, his so called "unknowning whore".

Interview with the Vampire (2022)

SEASON 1 - EPISODE 1: "IN THROES OF INCREASING WONDER"

[hinasho]

So much happened in 3x06 that Louis’ nuke of also being a victim of incestual abuse almost slipped past me. Are we suppose to pretend that Louis getting paid by a family member to sexually assault him doesn’t recontextualize literally everything? His view on sexual violence? Why he went into the sex work industry and started running brothels in the first place?

Did none of the other Du Lacs know about this? Was he told not to tell anyone? Or, worse, did his parents know and he was still told not to tell anyone to uphold the illusion of an upstanding family? Does this have any bearing on why he used to be so reserved and tight lipped about his vulnerabilities? Does this add another layer as to why he used to recoil from his own sexuality, beyond the political landscape and his religious upbringing?

Does this play a role in his desperation to be seen as a good son and good brother and overall good family man, after being a victim of incest? And getting paid for it? What effect did this have on the way he views profit and exploitation? On the way he views himself? On the way he bases so much of his identity & self worth on his ties to other people?

Screaming from the rooftops that Louis was paid to be sexually abused by a family member! Was this a single event? Did this happen several times? How old was he??

AM I JUST SUPPOSED TO LET THIS GO??????
