The Vampire Diaries (2009–2017)

The Vampire Diaries primarily focuses on apolitical themes of love, loss, friendship, and survival within a supernatural context. Its narrative solutions are centered on individual choices, personal relationships, and small-group dynamics rather than promoting a specific political ideology or advocating for systemic change.

The series demonstrates significant DEI primarily through its casting choices, notably the explicit race-swapping of a key character from the source material. However, its narrative does not explicitly critique or negatively portray traditional identities, focusing instead on supernatural themes and character-driven conflicts.
