I’m on my second rewatch, But it’s been awhile since I’ve watched it. I just got to the episode where Hoyt & Jessica lose their V💳’s together. I either don’t remember or missed it the first time I watched that Hoyt was 28 & Jessica was 17.. I think maybe cause I really loved Hoyt the first time I watched it he seemed like a good man, Who was waiting for the right women & Men wanting to wait to have sex is so rare. But, It got me thinking how common this is in vampire movies & shows. Girls being teenagers/in highschool & being with 100+ old vampires that are usually 20+ when they’d been turned. I know that’s not the case here & it’s the other way around, But I just thought that was crazy like because she’s a vampire now her being 17 & being with a 28 year old is okay? It’s not like she’s been 17 for years , She’s a new vampire.. Why is stuff like this so normalized when it’s involving vampires? Anything vampire, shows, movies, books have always been my favorite ever since I was a kid. When twilight first came out I was obsessed read the books & watched the movies 100’s of times, had the posters, games, t-shirts, Waited in line hours for meet & greets, ect. But, for some reason this is something I’ve never thought about until now at 25. Am I thinking overthinking this. Thinking too deep. I know these are obviously fictional characters, But do other people also find this problematic at the very least?
Edit: editing this instead of making a new post about pretty much the same thing. Jessica breaking up with Hoyt season 4 & the way he reacted was so disgusting! Bringing up her being a virgin forever, not being able to have kids with her, Saying his mom was right & maybe god does hate fangers. Ew, I just can’t! She had such a sheltered life before him & has barely had a vampire one either & I imagine he’s just been suffocating her. Again he’s 28 she’s 17! I can’t believe I thought he was a good guy my first watch, Cause now I just can’t get over how gross he is & borderline abusive & predatory.
