Has it ever really bugged anyone else how much contact vampires and kuei-jin will have in the books like Blood & Silk, but will still pull the "little to no knowledge of other supernaturals".
Other supernaturals Like fera and mages I can understand, the books were in separate universes(though more resent ones are trying bring them closer). The Kuei-jin/vampires have always been in the same world on the other hand, and when the two blood suckers do try to have contact/dig up information on each other it comes off(to me) like like the characters are brain-dead when they come back disregarding information they've been straight up told by the people in the know.
It also kind of bothers me how a kuei jin can walk into vampire-land and still act haughty and arrogant, even though they're straight up seeing with their own two eyes a place were "chi harmony" doesn't matter(and thus undermining a large portion of their belief structure), (Potentially)see that vampires exist that are equal-to-or-more powerful than their ancestors, and that vampires "embrace" can generate as many vampires as they require. Where's the shock? The paranoia? Why are they blowing off facts that challenge their knowledge of vampires and their own world view in general? Why are running monkey nobodies coming back acting like crushing the century-long plans of methusela was like teaching the leader of some barbarian tribe what the bullet from a gun feels like?
I can ignore the strange way the KotE sound like a badly translated anime, but some of it conflicts with how cWOD and vampire in particular are supposed to function.
