The film's neutral rating stems from its fantastical reimagining of slavery as a battle against literal vampires, which externalizes the problem and focuses on individual heroism and national unity rather than engaging with complex systemic or ideological critiques of human society.
The movie features visible diversity within its supporting cast, including a prominent Black character, but maintains traditional casting for its lead roles. The narrative frames its central white male protagonist as a hero, without critiquing traditional identities, even as it addresses historical injustices.
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative is entirely focused on its historical fantasy premise, leaving no room for such portrayals, resulting in a net impact of N/A.
The film features Vadoma, a female vampire, who engages in physical combat. However, her victories against male opponents are primarily due to her overwhelming supernatural strength and speed, which are considered superpowers. No other female characters participate in direct physical combat that meets the specified criteria.
The film adapts a novel and historical figures. All major characters, whether historical or original to the source novel, maintain their established gender in the film adaptation. No instances of a character being portrayed as a different gender from their canonical or historical baseline were found.
The film adapts a novel where key historical figures are portrayed by actors of their documented race. Original characters are not subject to race swap criteria.
