At heart, Davis’s trivializing comment is a variation on the ever popular “why does it always have to be about race” defense, with a religious diversion thrown in for good measure. What Davis fails to realize is that, just because we have become so accustomed to racially influenced dynamics and depictions in media that we don’t even notice them anymore, doesn’t mean they aren’t there. Perhaps to him, Bonnie’s marginalization is akin to the show’s depiction of an entire town where no woman is above a size 6–such a common occurrence on TV that he never questions why.
Perhaps to him, this is just The Way Things Are and to look deeper into it would mean acknowledging his own complicity in the status quo and responsibility to change it. All that introspection is a lot of work. Mr. Davis seems to find it easier to simply dismiss the questioner.
As for Ms. Plec, I understand her initial point. While I can see how some members of fandom can see Jamie as Bonnie’s stepbrother, I can also see the argument for another interpretation. Jamie was first introduced a couple episodes ago and he and Bonnie have not grown up as brother and sister. While it would be a little strange for Bonnie to start a relationship with a guy who was introduced as having a mother/son relationship with her mother, it is surely no stranger than Elena openly dating two vampire brothers. What is a little annoying is the fact that Jamie was introduced a few episodes ago and may be heading out a few episodes from now.The fact that of all the characters including several hundred-year-old vampires, adults, and witches, Bonnie must be the “strong” one and moral compass but is rarely given a long-term love interest and certainly not lusted after like Elena and Caroline, who seem to have a steady stream of protectors and admirers, is frustrating. Bonnie was given one regular love interest: Jeremy, Elena’s brother who promptly cheated on her and left. It was a far cry from The Salvatorebrothers’ ceaseless devotion to Elena and Tyler and Matt (now Tyler and Klaus’) battles for Caroline’s affection. Why isn’t Bonnie entitled to any of these options? I would say that both Caroline and Elena are portrayed as beautiful and strong. If murderous vampires are OK for them, why is Bonnie expected to stoically wait for something better?
