One character is over hated in the the vampire diaries fandom and here my thoughts about it

Elena gilbert is one of the most hated characters in Tvd, it bizarre how hated she is so let look at why she's hated

Fandom calls Elena selfish

She played with the Salvatore brothers

She's had hand in killing Kol

She is slut shamed

She left Stefan for demon

She indirectly killed Bonnie grandmother

Elena was 17 years old child who was took advantage of after losing her parents, Stefan stalked her for months because she looked like Katherine, demon forced himself on her multiple times during the vampire diaries and also killed her brother multiple, this is romanticised but again two vampires who was 163 years old took advantage of her, she was gaslit when she didn't agree with Stefan and Damon plans, it wasn't her fault Bonnie grandmother died and bonnie mother was force to turn into a vampire, this is Stefan and Damon fault only, remember Elena was 17 years old teenager who lost her parents and Jenna, she wanted to sacrifice herself but everyone was keep making decisions for her, does that sound like she was selfish?, fandom solely blamed Elena for killing Kol but again Kol would've killed Elena and Jeremy, it was self defence even if both of them planned it , she is still demonised for it, she is also slut shame for getting with Stefan and Damon in the fandom

Elena is a minor when she got with Stefan, Stefan is over 163 years old so let that sink in for a minute.

Let talk about Demon for a minute, Demon Raped, abused and made Caroline into his blood bag, demon Stans will try and justify this saying he's learned from his *mistakes*, this dude killed a pregnant woman, does that sound like good and kind person, he harass 17 year old because he could and no one stopped him, he made decisions for Elena and force his will on her, how many people have he hurt because he could?, he tried killing Jeremy because Elena rejected him

Let also talk about Stefan while we're at it, Stefan stalked Elena for months and knew about Demon abusing Caroline, he did nothing about it, he nearly killed Elena multiple time, Stefan isn't good guy no matter what Julie or other people make you believe, he force Demon to turn into vampire, he's also Ripper who never learned control nor did he accept being vampire, he's not innocent nor should he be this so called Hero that the vampire diaries make them out to be, he also force his will on Elena and made all her decisions without her consent, I could go on but I won't.

Elena is Human and she couldn't go up against vampires, she might be selfish but she's freaking teenager, demon and Stefan is the worst thing that happened to Elena.

Let talk about Elena and Rebekah relationship for quick second, Elena didn't betray Rebekah because how can you betray someone who you had no loyalty to, Elena told Rebekah about Niklaus killing her Mother but again that was childish and immature thing she did, but I want to point out Klaus tormented Elena and killed her aunt out of spite because of Stefan and Damon actions

I probably missed few things but one of the main points I want to make is Elena is Child who lost everything, she's annoying and selfish but she was willing to sacrifice herself to keep her family safe, I'm just going to throw this in here Bonnie sacrificing herself is Bonnie choice and no one else

It all come down to bad writing and lack off character development, she's Mary sue but without powers

I highly recommend going to @theagnostictheist, they have some good analysis on all of vampire diaries characters, if anyone have anything to add then please do
