It really does sound more to me as though he has a problem with Twilight than as though he has a problem with vampire novels. The key bit there is 'shitty sellouts', not 'vampire novels'.
I suspect if you've written a bunch of vampire themed works, seeing people doing stuff with the same theme in a way you find distressing may make you more likely to say not-specific-enough things about how you are distressed. It reads to me as though he's doing that. I really don't think you need to read it as relating to your work.
Secondly, I'm pretty sure a lot of people who rely on medication with unpleasant side effects, or whose loved ones rely on medication, sometimes feel as though the medication is the problem, even though it's necessary. I know I've hated some of the things that have helped me get through, because they couldn't make everything perfect.
