Ironically, it turns out that 21st century audience is quite conservative and doesn't like stepping out of certain conventions. I'd say they want to keep some sort of decorum (in a sense that they want Damon to have one, consistent narrative; they cannot accept the switch of narratives), although I doubt they explain it like that. The same audience will probably react badly to Stefan's and Elena's arcs in s3. Change of narrative is stepping out of comfort zone.
WORD. We are the unconventional minority! (But seriously, how often does life follow one consistent narrative? It's much more interesting to me to see those narratives torn apart and watch the characters flail around without them.)
