People call things vintage all of the time. There is always a want to go back in time, even if just aesthetically. Like vintage pocket watches, or people will get a vintage wine. Sometimes older things are better. Some are worse.
I was thinking it could be an interesting story if someone was like a wind-up toy, or one of those that you have to pull a string. Then I remembered that Chainsaw Man already exists.
I looked up genderbent Twilight because of the recent thread. I am surprised to learn that the author is the same one that made the Twilight series. I thought it would be a fanfic.
