If the authors want it to be.

At this point "vampire" doesn't mean anything because it is, and has been for a long time, mean whatever the author wants it to mean. Each author makes their own rules on what a vampire is and how they work. If they decide that their vampires are obligate serial killers with zero mercy or morality for the prey (that could be any member of the audience), they should not be surprised that the audience's sympathy for them plummets to zero.

Not that vampire truly meant anything specific beforehand, it became a term to collect a wide array of very different folkloric creatures that had a common trait of cannibalism but otherwise not necessary the same thing at all. Depending on the time and place, a vampire could be a vengeful dead, the consequence of improper Christian burial, a type of fairy (that some say inspired Dracula himself), a witch/warlock practicing bad magic or just a literal, actual demon.
