Related to this community, vampirism DOESN'T mean immortality, death when contacting garlic, silver, or sunlight, blood tears, consumption of nothing but blood, sacred symbols are not lethal to- nor feared by vampires, they do show up in mirrors, they dont heal instantly, they are not all pale, not all beautiful, they're not all evil, and they dont live a secluded life away from human society.
A friend of mine conducted vampirism.

Vampirism encourages dressing in dark clothes, filing some of your teeth to look like fangs, drinking another person's blood etc.

"Can you believe Tori and Alisha are into Vampirism"
"That is foul dude, I heard they cut each other and drink eachother's blood, what losers"
