Note

It's weird how everyone says that tvd hates it's female characters. I always looked at tvd/to as representing great feminism. Like all of the female characters have some type of badassery in them. But then I came on here and everyone started saying how tvd treats it's female characters very badly.

Here’s a brief, non-extensive rundown of the treatment of female characters on the show.

Elena

Definition of a Mary Sue Character

Abusive relationship with Damon

Pre-relationship

http://dontbeallupinmyfriesdawg.tumblr.com/post/144617501355/itsana00-mikaelova-why-dont-you-ship

+ post relationship he was manipulative, controlling, killed her love ones when she did things he didn’t like etc..

Lost all her morals and a lot of her personality and agency via her relationship with Damon

‘Special Snowflake Syndrome’

Constantly has all her choices made for her

Caroline

Raped by Damon

Fed on by Damon

Physically harmed by Damon

Emotionally abused by Damon

Didn’t really have any individual storyline after season six

Was never put first in her relationship with Stefan

Was slut-shamed for her best friend over her rape

was never apologized to or got any resolution or closure on the situation (the show just pretended like it never happened.

Made her mom (Liz) BFF’s with her rapist

TVD just stuck two babies in her and Caroline never even had an opinion on it like she just rolled with it

Was kind of treated like shit by Stefan in s6

Is constantly forced to be around her rapist

is called derogatory things like Barbie and Blondie by said rapist

Bonnie

The list is too bloody extensive so here are some links

x x x x (Skip to tvd)

Katherine

For such a badass character she the most disappointing anti-climatic death in history

why is that her agenda (even after rising from hell) was always to get back Stefan? The show couldn’t have her focus on something more important like uh, idk her daughter?

that whole Damon torture scene while she was on her death bed

Was nearly tricked by Klaus into sacrificing herself and dying and when she had the audacity to save herself she was punished by way of Klaus murdering her whole family and hunting her for centuries

Rebekah Mikaelson

Suffered within a pretty abusive relationship with Klaus for centuries

Rose

Needlessly murdered

Grams

Needlessly murdered

Lucy

Needlessly murdered

Isobel

Needlessly died

Andie

Raped by Damon

Had her consent and memories compelled away

was used as a pawn and needlessly killed by ripper!stefan

Vicki

Was turned just cus Damon was bored and wanted a plaything

he never explained anything to her or taught her how to be a vampire he just abandoned her so she went into maniac territory forcing Stefan to kill her

Davina

The entire situation involving her death. Enough said.

Like Bonnie and Caroline she’s a real punching bag character

Hayley

Created to basically be a plot device

Became one big orgy of special snowflake syndrome and the Mary sue on TO

Her only purpose (and storyline thus far) has been to give birth to and raise the magical miracle baby

Do the tvd ladies have some badass-ish moments? Yes. But mostly they are used as plot devices or hangers on for the male hero, the are used and abused to progress the male character’s storyline. TVD and TO’s writing is embedded in misogyny (with the poc females getting it worse) and therefore so are most of the ships.
