What I've really hoped The Vampire Diaries would eventually include more of in their plot is Female vampires having their way with men. Using lots and lots of men for this, instead of only a small few.
Despite enjoying the show, I get tired of how the male vampires at certain points, go out have their way with several women victims. The female vampires rarely do this with men.
The female characters only get intimate with men, when they’re in love with them. On the rare occasion when you see a male victim portrayed as a lady vampire's conquest, it’s only one man once in a while. Though I have not seen the newer shows after season 4.
Even Katherine only seduces a handful of men, who fall in love with her. We don’t see her toying with lots and lots sexualized male victims, like the male vampires do with human women.
It may seem that this just means that the vampire women are more likely to toy with men romantically. While the vampire men are more likely to toy with women sexually. But actually the vampire men in the show have it both ways. Women fall in love with the vampire men, at certain points.
The male vampires both have women fall in love with them sometimes -and at other times, they go and have women conquests for fun. However, the vampire women only have it one way (only men in love with them, and none of the extra adventurous part.)
It's also strange that the vampires usually feed on women, whether they're conquests or not. Even the lady vampires, usually feed on female victims, instead of male ones.
Please, don't tell me that most people would not want to see sexualized men, or male victims of vampires on tv (or a mixture of both on tv.)
Because that is the type of Vampire Fantasy I really would want for in a vampire show. I’m sure a lot of ladies would be thrilled, as well, to see a vampire show where the female vampires have their way with beautiful men, just as often. Half of all people are women. As well as some gay men. And hopefully also some straight men, who just want women to be happy...
I know sexism is in almost all shows and movies. And I hate it everywhere. I particularly felt like writing about the Vampire Diaries, because I really like the show. But the sexism ruins the fantasy. I also don't like it in other movies like Interview with the Vampire.
I did like the two sexy brothers, Damon and Stefan, being in love with the same girl, Elena. But I kept wanting to see Elena just have a threesome with both of then. I accepted that that was not going to happen. However, I then thought it was insulting, when Matt had a threesome with Rebekah and another girl. At the beginning of Season 5. Again, why do only the male characters have their fun with women? While we just have to accept that the female characters can only have one boy at a time.
Even Katherine never got into bed with both Stefan and Damon, at the same time. The plot also treats her like a manipulative, vile character, for dating both of them. Damon, on the other hand, at one point sleeps with Rebekah, then slips away into the shower with Sage. He is not treated like he is being evil for doing so. Nor is Matt treated like he is being evil, when he’s in a threesome, etc.
Though, I guess it does not matter to me whether a female character is treated like she is being evil, for wanting two boys at once or not. I just wish that were part of the plot more often. And that it portrayed female characters having fun doing so, evil or not.
