It's been bothering me for a while. Whenever I see a new spoiler or watch a promo for season 4 there will always be one person in the comments getting angry that Elena appears to have "chosen" Stefan again. (We don't even know this, it's speculation.) When they think Elena has chosen Stefan they get angry and call Elena a bitch.
Really? Elena is a bitch because she's an independent woman with an independent mind and free will that she chooses to use? I'm not going to say it's Delena fans writing things like this, because it's not. I'm a Delena supporter and I don't ever write things like that. It's just certain people who get fed up with their couple not being cannon and choosing to hate that character for not hooking up with who they want them too.
Guys, shipping isn't easy. A lot of times ships that we want don't work about. But please don't hate a character for it. I can honestly see why Elena keeps choosing Stefan. He's a lot more sympathetic than Damon is. Elena is going through a tough time and Damon isn't good at taking someones hand and baby-ing their way through things. It makes sense to me things would be better between Stefan and Elena than Elena and Damon.
Just, if you want to call Elena a bitch or Stefan an asshole, don't. It's okay to dislike a character for whatever reason but don't go around forums and sites posting hateful comments.

Interviewer: Was there a debate in the writer's room as to whether she would choose Stefan or Damon in this episode, or did you always agree that it would be Stefan?
Julie Plec: We were heading toward the end of the road knowing that as a human, Stefan was Elena's choice. We also knew what was going to happen at the end of the episode. Elena is no longer a human when she wakes up and when the memories come back and when her whole life goes upside-down. Who's to say what that does to her? Who's to say what kind of person she becomes, and how that impacts who she loves and why she loves them? I'm not saying that's going to send her running instantly into Damon's arms, absolutely not, but it's going to cloud the issue even more.
