I was looking for this comment! The female characters weren’t slut shamed, which was incredibly progressive for that time

I spoke to a few people about this - 3 people I spoke to said they thought Jesy was mixed, they had no idea she was white. That right there is why it is a problem that she's doing it.

What's even funnier is she is depicted as this loser because has her own flat by Borough Market, works in a successful publishing job, and is single at the age of 30...now I'm older, that sounds pretty damn successful and aspirational to me.

Damon and Elena were sooo toxic. Nothing about their relationship was consistent or healthy, it was a toxic relationship being sold as "passionate love".

@byebyelilsebastian Stefan and Caroline was the writers running out of ideas. Only 2 single people on the show? Cool let’s get them together. They were so much better as a platonic friendship! I always viewed her as his replacement for Lexi
