MCR couldn't have inspired Stephanie to make her weird pedophilic Mormon dogshit. Don't blame Gerard Way for this.

What the fuck are you talking about?

Do you blame Scorsese for John Hinckley?

"Inspired by", does mean the inspiration is to blame for the outcome.

There's nothing relating to MCR that's even remotely similar to this. Only potential thing is "kind of dark aesthetic". As such, we should forget Twilight ever existed, and especially never mention it in relation to My Chemical Romance and/or Gerard Way.

never mention it in relation to My Chemical Romance

But "Vampire Money" is an absolute banger written specifically to make fun of all the other bands lining up to be on Twilight soundtracks while MCR turned down offers multiple times.

If you want more of this energy from MCR check out what they did for the When We Were Young festival in 2022. Merch, old age makeup, and an encore consisting of "Vampires Will Never Hurt You" followed by "Vampire Money."
