Erm yeah this is gross
Damon was the one that turned Elena's humanity off in the first place, and NOW he and Stefan are torturing Elena to try and force her to turn it back on again wtf??! But it's totally okay because it hurts them way more than it hurts Elena!
And since when does Damon believe in this kind of stuff anyway? I buy it more from Stefan wanting to follow the ~Lexi method~, but Damon was the one who disapproved of Lexi and broke Stefan out in season 3 because he couldn't leave his little brother in there to rot. His idea of getting Stefan back in touch with his feelings was to take him out drinking, so surely it would be more in character for Damon to try and get through to Elena through bonding in New York or something?
This is a show with some very...odd views. With Caroline and her father in season 3 it seemed to be presented as a bad thing that he wanted to torture his daughter out of being a vampire, but then that came in the same season as Elena and Lexi were trying out torture and starvation on Stefan as a form of conditioning that supposedly works, and even Caroline's father was sort of shown to be right as he was apparently strong enough to resist mind-control and his tactics could help Tayler overcome the sirebond.
Really though what a bizarre message for any halfway normal show to push
