Speak for yourself. As you can tell from my avatar and username, I'm a huge fan of Vampire: The Masquerade and yet I love Werewolf: The Apocalypse.

My vampire characters have bound Garou in chains of silver and offered them as a delicacy to their guests. Meanwhile, my werewolf characters once cut off a neonate's limbs and watched him squirm as the sun rose.

Shockingly, you can get into the mindset of both splats and do awful things without ceasing to be a fan of either....

More monstrous? The BSD look at the worst of the Sabbat's rites and think that they're adorable....

Not soon enough....

The combat did look awful but, on a more hopeful note, I feel that it speaks well of them to make the "Pioneers" and the Camarilla two separate factions. Usually, you'd expect old money, antiquated, trying to hold on to their power City Founders-type of characters to be tailor made for the Camarilla. That they are leaves me hopeful for the subtlety of the writing and the complexity of the characters.

And within their own gameline, they are. But Garou see everything through a Gaian prism, they don't recognize the Christian God and couldn't imagine crediting the vampire's own beliefs or for them to have any origin beyond the Wyrm. So, to a Garou's eyes, vampires are, at best, walking crimes against Gaia who break Her cycle of life and death or, at worst, world-eating Eldritch Abominations (see Antediluvians)....

Am I the only one who keeps wondering just who this "Carol" is? A friend of OP that plays Werewolf and hates Vampire, maybe?

At any rate, obviously conflict between Garou and Kindred shouldn't mean conflict between their respective fandoms. In fact, it's very normal for people to enjoy both gamelines.
It makes sense, in universe, for werewolves to hate vampires. If some Werewolf player is giving you grief, OP, your issue should be with that one player, not the game itself....
