They wanted him! It wasn't rape! I have issues with the show! I'm also possibly a humourless shrew! I'm actually stunned no one else in the discussion agrees with me.
No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I wish I was surprised.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
i'm going to play Devil's advocate here and say that while we've been told he does this, we've never actually seen it onscreen. at least to my recollection. he definitely uses them for blood and in Andie's case, blood and sex, but she's not exactly unwilling. Caroline was into him before any glamouring went on. he only really ever glamoured her to forget he was a vampire and that he was feeding on her. still deplorable, but not rape.

She was going to leave him when she found out he was a vampire. He glossed over that for her, and she stayed and slept with him under false, compelled circumstances. What do you call it?

eh...i see what you're saying. by that same token, we should call Willow a rapist because she made Tara forget that they had broken up and then had sex with her.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
tiggy, many people said just that when S6 aired.

And the show dealt with the violations that Willow did of her relationship with Tara. It admitted it was wrong and abusive.
This show doesn't, and I'm startled by how many fans don't see that these women would not have had sex with Damon if he hadn't compelled them, therefore he magicked his way into their knickers, and that's not consensual.

Yep. And Tara left her. There were consequences.
