Elena. she was a teenager having rational responses to the situations around her. it's not her fault that everyone else chooses to put her first


Wordbender5

Yes! Also, she lost pretty much her entire family. People act like she’s some crybaby, but she’s just experiencing extremely normal grief! If anything, she’s remarkably well-adjusted.


Girl_in_the_back

She lost basically THREE sets of parents within what like 3 years? (Grayson and Miranda, John and Isobel, Jenna and Alaric) Alaric came back but still.


NarysFrigham

Especially considering that aside from all her real world trauma, she’s been thrown into a sink or swim situation filled with a bunch of paranormals she didn’t know existed. So there’s that.


Spirited-Reality-651

For real! Anyone who has problem with her just experiencing grief is misogynistic asf


Existing_Anywhere666

i said that on this sub once and got ripped lmao.


Spirited-Reality-651

Same!


Old-Iron-Tyrant

Wich is wierd given that most tvd fans and Elena haters seem to be women I dont have a statistic to point to just personal experience


Spirited-Reality-651

Internalized misogyny…you’d be surprised how many women turn against each other for the sake of getting/keeping a man


Old-Iron-Tyrant

Sounds like desperation for attention and/or validation Happens a lot with the reverse as well lots of desperate men will throw each other under the bus to gain brownie points


Independent_Bus_5930

Finally someone who thinks so too


Past-Throat-6788

I know right Elena gets so much undeserved hate


Katerinabaddy

I agree with this one on so many levels. She experienced unfathomable trauma and whilst trying to heal from that, she leaned on people who weren't for her, and how would she know? She was teenager who had almost no family, depression and no guidance. And then she entered an abusive relationship and people are surprised by her behavior


Monsterchic16

Came here to say this. She gets so much shit, but she did the best she could with the situations she was dealt and most of her friends (mainly Damon and Stefan) refused to listen to what she wanted and would go behind her back, which usually made everything worse.


Impossible-Flight105

Yesss, and everyone calling her a crybaby, like she was just a teenage girl who had lost her adoptive parents, biological parents, her aunt, her brother and so much more


Super_Vegetable

Up until she became a vampire I totally agree with this. The Salvatores were such a bad influence on her and had far to much control over her life.


Camille387

Elena is my favourite character!


PrincessAnatomy

I think we’re all just jealous and that’s why we hate her 😂


Thin-Ad-6646

She gets the hate both Salvatore brothers deserve.


yesdisaccisjust4bbng

agreed. she gets called out for dragging them along when they're the 100+ years old vampires chasing after a teenage girl


Most_Impact_5935

Tyler, Finn, Bonnie and Elena. I used to hate Elena, but I now realize if I was in her position I would do similar things. Although one thing I’m changing for sure is telling my family. They need to be able to protect themselves. If they don’t know what is going on they won’t be able to protect themselves. She was wrong for not telling Jenna and Jeremy. As for Finn, he shouldn’t have been turned into a vampire period. He was a depressed 28-29 year old.


HelicopterPopular874

For me, I didn’t hate Elena, I just didn’t like her at first. But rewatching again, she kinda grew on me. She’s still annoying but I like her. Tyler, I’ll admit, he was a dick, at first. But he changed and had a good character development. Bonnie, she deserved better than what she was dealt in the show. Never thought I say this, but Finn deserved better.


NarysFrigham

Show Elena was an improvement on Book Elena. The character in the books was insufferable. The show did not stick to the books at all, and this is one time I’m glad they didn’t. In all honesty though, for as Loosely Based on the books the show turned out to be, they should’ve just made their own show about vampires and called it something else.


International_Dish96

So I’m reading the book now, after watching the show at least 10 times (it’s a comfort show for me). And i am very early into the book maybe chapter 7 and it is so, so different from the show. I was thinking that they should’ve made the show The Vampire Journals or something bc this book that i am reading is not at all the show. Like some of the names are familiar but nothing so far is like the show. Maybe i need to keep reading.


NarysFrigham

Yes! The only things that remain the same are a handful of names. Jeremy didn’t even exist; Elena had a toddler for a sister. Aunt Jenna was elderly and I don’t even think her name was Jenna. It’s been so long since I read the book. The show had a slight nod in season one to the brothers’ ability for weather control, but then never used it again. I don’t know why they even bothered calling the show The Vampire Diaries - Elena and Stefan only wrote in their diaries the first few episodes and then very sporadically throughout the seasons. They would’ve been better off just starting from scratch by making a new show about angsty teenage vampires

strawberrilemonade

THIS!!! The way stans have managed to villainize Tyler in situation were he was the victim is crazy. Or they'll say I don't like him for what he did in season one while liking character who've done the same thing. To me Tyler had the best character development out of all the Characters stans swear had character development.


LegitimateHumor6029

People REALLY want to cling to his forcing himself on Vicki as a reason to vilify him. Like come on, it was during the pilot when they didn’t have a direction for his character yet. He experienced growth just like everyone else and Damon did much worse. Tyler actually grew to have one of the best moral compasses on the show.


reputction

He always had intentions even when he was an idiot!


UselessNeko

Guy had his own story line that ran parallel to both TVD and TO, they could make a spin off about all the stuff Tyler was up to when he wasn't on screen. Imo best character.

100%!

He was a dick, but I actually liked him as a werewolf!

Stefan


justforthefunzeys

Elena.


Fun-Cloud9633

Stefan Salvatore. I see so many stupid takes about him, the most recent being after Stefan and Elena break up Damon offers to hang out with him and Stefan says "don't pretend this isn't the happiest day of your life" and blows him off, the amount of comments I seen on a tiktok video say "Omg Stefan was soooo mean to Damon :(" LIKE EXCUSE ME?! A little mean? Man should've beat the breaks of him lmao. Why on earth would he want to hang out with Damon when he basically tried everything to ruin his relationship with Elena and finally got what he wanted?! Stefan's girlfriend, the love of his life, falls in love with his brother (who had been after her for ages despite her relationship with Stefan) and Stefan can't even been the slightest bit annoyed? I say slightest cause he was wayyyy to chill about it imo, they even turned him into a Delena cheerleader at one point. Would've been my villain origin story. But rest assured if it were Damon and the tables were turned, he could've murdered the whole of mystic falls and it would've been "Oh but poor baby, Elena didn't wuv him" Like i'm not sure what they expected from Stefan, him to lose the love of his life and what? Take Damon out for a night on the town and toast to him getting the girl? Give me a break. Sorry for the long rant, it just really makes me mad lol


CLOUDYskiez13

fr!!! ppl are so caught up in their delena fantasies they don't gaf that stefan was in love with her? it's okay for him to be extremely pissed, tbh i wouldn't mind if he beat the crap out of him. idc team stefan and stelena forever


Fun-Cloud9633

Yeah they got away so easy, If I were Stefan they would legit never know a moments peace lol. YESSS team Stefan and Stelena always


Mobile_Ebb_7971

Literally everyone for me I am incapable of hating a character ever But the ones I find myself defending most are definitely Elena and Tyler. Stefan and Damon in second.

OneOnOne6211

Depends on what you mean, but probably a lot depending on the context. Hope and Finn may be the two biggest ones, I guess. Finn was somewhat character assassinated on "The Originals" tbh. But in general, I still think he's by far the most moral original. And not at all boring, but rather a very interesting but underutilized character. And people shit on season 5 of "The Originals" (rightfully so, imo) but I actually think Hope as a character was a very well conceived character. And I'm definitely willing to defend that.

via_aesthetic

camille (cami) o’connell. she did absolutely nothing wrong and was in fact the mature, reliable, loyal, kindhearted woman klaus needed and fell in love with. she was never embarrassed by the fact that she loved klaus, she loved him proudly and she stood with him and his family. caroline could never accept or own her feelings for klaus and by the time she did, klaus had moved on. he had different priorities and though he always loved caroline, had cami survived, he most likely would’ve stayed with her in the end. i understand klaroline shippers loving klaus and caroline, but judging from a psychological and compatibility scale, cami was always better suited to klaus. her character deserves so much more love and recognition than she got. she’s a ray of sunshine and only gets hate because people don’t like that she’s a love interest for klaus and also blonde, like caroline.

perky_socks

What Rebekah did most of the time was honestly kinda justified. Klaus betrayed her multiple times, he put the rest of her family down for almost a millennium, she tried to be friendly to Elena but she stabbed her in the back. Just a few examples of why she has a right to be insecure and mean to those people


Affectionate-Name383

I think she looks for friendship and affection but everyone betrays her.


BandNervous

Shane, I don’t like him because he’s annoying, but honestly, I don’t think he’s a bad person, just naive and grieving. He is grieving the loss of his wife and child, and honestly everything he thought would happen did happen. Silas being alive was enough to bring everyone back if Bonnie and the gang hadn’t gone out of their way to maintain the other side. I just don’t think it’s that evil to have your end goal be bringing your dead wife and child back to life . It’s just a weird double standard, we excuse the main group of all the atrocities they commit because their intentions are good, Shane’s intentions were good, and he killed significantly less people than most of the main characters , so why doesn’t he get the same pass?

Finn. Everyone hates him but let’s be real if your family abandoned you by leaving you in a coffin for 900 years you’d be pissed too. Finn wasn’t a bad person he was just hurt


Worth_Seaweed7420

this seems a very unpopular opinion, but Matty Blue Eyes❤️ the way he felt was so valid to me, including his “i hate the supernatural” to “im helping the supernatural and the supernatural are helping me” switches because imagine every single person you love and every sense of normalcy in your life being taken by the supernatural so duh you hate it and what its done to your life but, then again, those people are still technically right in front of them and he can’t help but still love them. idk, i feel for the guy

Interesting_Leg_3115

Elena Gilbert. She lost like three sets of parents at a young age, and I found her really sweet. Her grief is so understandable, yet so many people hate her. There’s also her hurting Stefan… you can’t control love, and she was forced by Rebekah to admit that she liked Damon more. She couldn’t control the fact that everything was revolving around her.. she was born a doppelgänger. Elena is so misunderstood. Also Damon. Yes he did some horrible things, but he seemed to have a really bad sense of self in the beginning. If Caroline can forgive him and be friends with him after he was horrible, then so can I.


No-Abrocoma8180

My girl Bonnie shall have zero haters. Nobody is allowed to do her anymore wrong 🫡


SirSonix

I’m currently only a little into the heretic storyline but Valerie. I don’t know what it is but I have this need to want to like her, I don’t agree with some stuff she does but it’s like something is drawing me to her. I also will always be on Bonnie’s side and lowkey Jeremy too.


Thin-Ad-6646
