Twilight made it very mainstream. IMHO the sexy part is fine if the monster part is still present. They're supposed to be alluring to prey on people. Twilight forgot all the downsides of vampires and more glorified it. Vampires are monsters and that part is entirely forgotten when you put some self insert main character in who just thirsts for sparkly gay fairy vampires.
