This is one of those big discomforts where I....feel like there's no @anyone to throw this at but I feel weird not saying it? disturbing content, obviously.

[TVD S3 finale spoilers]

I'm seeing a lot of worry about the implications of any Klaus-in-Tyler sexual activity which turn entirely on the general creepiness of Klaus and his infatuation with Caroline, and very little

I love that I can count on you to share my Tyler partisanship. It's this perfect storm of loss of agency/manipulation into feelings of complicity/getting sucked even deeper into this spiral he's fought so hard to escape/everything that presses my buttons so much that I don't really have perspective to gauge discussions of it, I guess.

Klaus' possession of Tyler brought everything to a new level, and I no longer share your confidence in the creative team's sharp, thoughtful treatment of Tyler's story - especially after reading a couple of interviews that likened Klaus' actions while inside of Tyler's body as humorous shenanigans rather than a horrific violation

Yeah, I'm not saying EVERYONE SHOULD BE 100% SURE IT WILL BE AWESOME, but in fairness, I rarely see "humorous shenanigans" and "horrific violation" as being mutually exclusive in TVD-world, particularly where Klaus is involved. It could be a phenomenal extension of the metaphor, this whole idea of "becoming what you hate."

TYLEEEEEEEEEEEEEER. This is generally a show I'm into for the mean deconstructive fun of it all, more than emotional catharsis, but Tyler twists my heart so hard.
