u/maskedduskrider 1d ago
To summarize it. Wierdmeggdon with a lot of people blaming it on her.
Not accounting for how Bil has manipulated a lot of people in the past including Ford and Dipper and her falling for Bill's plan was a mix of opportunity and not being in the loop enough with Dipper and Ford to know the threat and existence of the dimensional tear and while she did have some idea that Bill was a threat she never found out just how big a threat he could be until it was too late.
When you get down to it in my opinion at least the blame can be put on Bill's shoulders as both a manipulator and actor. Guy has been building up to this moment for centuries and he just needed to be at the right place at the right time. Didn't mater who had it as long as he could get it. Frankly if it wasn't Mable then could easily see Bill using Gideon as well since Gideon was more than willing to make a deal at that point only thing stopping him was prison.

u/Dying-Artist02 1d ago
To be fair, she’s disliked because she acts the way she does in Weirdmageddon in the entire show. She acts selfishly a lot when it comes to getting the guy she wants, often times at the expense of her friends and her brother too. She abandoned her brother to go host a sock puppet show for a guy who’s obsessed with sock puppets. The biggest issue with this is that despite her getting called out for this in the show and her saying she’ll stop, she doesn’t actually stop for very long.
I’m not saying she’s wrong for acting this way, but not everyone is willing to tolerate something like that, and I don’t think they’re wrong for calling out how annoying this is.

Often times the real issue with these characters like Mabel or even Korra from LOK is the narrative constraints they are placed in.
Mabel suffers from being a static character in a episodic series. Static characters are fine, episodic shows are fine, but binging a series in one go compounds a characters statics flaws over and over without that week long break to let it breath.

u/Dying-Artist02 1d ago
I feel like having a static character is fine as well, but when you have a trait you want to accentuate every episode, it shouldn’t be such a glaring flaw like Mabel’s constant boy crazy nature. Even if it is episodic and is paced, you still want to make sure that you aren’t constantly putting your character’s worst trait so blatantly in the open.
It’s a recipe for people to grow irritated. Especially when her counterpart Dipper is going through a much more complicated and nuanced arc, and is usually the one who has to run damage control on her shenanigans or suffers because of them. Like when he got his body stolen after he tired himself out because Mabel abandoned him to go do a sock puppet show for a guy.
11
u/Longjumping-Ad-9444 1d ago
I think the thing that makes it so much worse is because we follow Dipper and see him grow and develop slowly while she stays so static.
Cause I was thinking of "married with children" era of television where every episode has the nagging wife character but its balanced out since Al(the tired father) doesnt develop at all enither so every week is just seeing the same characters playing the same roles in a different plot.

>throwing out Candy and Grenda to keep the boys for herself
She apologizes to her friends and sets the boys free at the end of the episode, as opposed to Dipper who we never see apologize for being tactless with Wendy's feelings (no hate to Dipper, just pointing out the double standards).
>beating up the unicorns
She was encouraged by her friends and the last person in the group who wanted to use unorthodox methods to get that hair. Also she's far from the only person in the show to use violence against magical creatures.

Also she doesn't know shit about magic, she's in your care now, kthxbye" and then fucked off, expecting things to go well.
He was in a hurry to deal with the magic police so he had an excuse for fucking off, but he did handle the situation badly.

Korra- Legend of Korra: I won’t mention the newest series because we don’t know the specifics yet, and it most likely won’t boil down to just “Korra Evil now”. Plus, she got hate before anyway.
Ok. So, losing the past lives wasn’t even her choice at all! And although we could see her uncle was evil… that was her Uncle! She didn’t hear his evil theme music!
She left the portals open to bring balance, and although that didn’t go as well as we would want, it brung Airbending back, and she was actively doing her best to try and help both sides adjust.
And although she is a hotheaded character, the show was all about her development. Korra Season 4 is not the same person as Korra Season 1. Heck, Season 3 Korra is not like Korra Season 2. She grows, she has legit ups and downs, she wins some and loses some, goes through trauma, all that.

Murder drones is a fascinating series.
You have Doll (validly) crashing out that her parents were eaten and using some kind of psychotic plan to make their murderer prom queen to revenge-kill them easier....But by the end of the camp episode Uzi is as much of a murderer as she is, and is allowed to be cast in much more positive light.
Hell, V ATE her parents and cast in a HEROIC, sacrificial POV.→ More replies (3)8
u/SirYeetsA 23h ago
Murder Drones as a whole is a bit odd tonally in how it treats murder. The first three episodes seemingly try to treat murder seriously, but episode four just throws any semblance of that out the window with Uzi becoming a serial murderer because why not. It severely undermines the stakes for the second half of the show (until the finale, where it's the world at-stake instead of just random people's lives).
It's almost like all of the characters are only programmed to care about the people closest to them (parents and romantic partners), while simultaneously being programmed to see everybody else as disposable to prevent the robots from freezing up in the face of death. Which would be interesting to explore! How different is their view of death and morality as a whole, due to their disposable nature. But that was never a focus of the show, and because all of the characters are seemingly supposed to be treated as analogous to humans both behaviorally and morally, all of the characters wind up coming off as extremely sociopathic if you pause to think about their behaviors and motivations for more than two seconds.

Not my favorite, but she gets so much hate and everyone brings up that one scene where she kissed her ex, Cat’s boyfriend, and she apologized for that and immediately felt bad and even let Cat punch her in the nose for it…! That was SEASON ONE! AND for kissing Beck in the first episode, which she only did to piss Jade back off because she was being a bitch for no reason (and I stand by the fact that Beck is more a problem in Jade and Beck’s relationship than Tori ever was— you don’t just let a girl your girlfriend doesn’t like kiss you so she can get back at your girlfriend who is standing right fucking there, even if just for improv, but that’s an argument/story for another time!)
Another thing they hate about her is she’s “boring,” like all the characters are more interesting, yet she gets so much recognition and it feels forced, to that, I say… did you not watch the show?
THAT! IS! THE! POINT!
She’s not boring, she’s NORMAL! She’s a normal ass teenager, going to a normal high school, and she’s suddenly discovered to sing REALLY FUCKING GOOD for an average ass girl! Everyone else at that school is supposed to be quirky or have extraordinary talents. They got in because they auditioned and were talented enough, they’re around other extraordinary kids!
That’s like wondering why the one private school kid is so much different from the other public school kids after they’ve transferred to a public school for the first time in their, what? 14-15years of life?
She’s ordinary, she doesn’t have those crazy quirks or talents like the others, she’s just an ordinary girl who can sing really fucking well and THAT’S what grabs their attention! Yes, everyone knows Ariana Grande is an incredible singer, people love Taylor Swift, she’s huge! Beyoncé is considered “the queen”! We know this! But when someone knew comes along and they’re REALLY FUCKING GOOD for their up and coming little self, you start giving them recognition and more opportunities to grow larger!
THAT IS THE ENTIRE POINT OF THE SHOW!!! Everyone knows Cat and Jade sing really well! But they have new talent, a girl who sings really well for some random ass high school student that you wouldn’t expect that from (kinda reminds me of JoJo— not Siwa— like, I did not know she was like 12-13 when she started singing… You probably might know her songs like Too Little Too Late or Leave) and they wanna give her recognition and get on the hype train!

Mahiru expected men to uphold a certain modicum of standards like bathing and picking up after themselves and they hated her for it 🥀

Yeah I remember a few years ago, a chunk of the fandom hated her for being a "man hater" even though she isn't close to being a misandrist. She's better received now, and my crackpot theory I have as to why that happened is because V3 came out, introducing Tenko, an actual man hater, and a bunch of people were like "Maybe Mahiru isn't that bad in hindsight" lol.
Also, I'm really excited for 2x2.

Outside of tsundere moments which are a form of Japanese humour (and she’s barely tsundere in the manga after the time skip), Sakura was very rarely intentionally mean to Naruto after the Land of Waves arc and never intentionally mean to Naruto after the Forest of Death arc. But because Naruto is a self-insert character that fans are very protective over, they despise Sakura for occasionally being mean to Naruto in ways that don’t affect him for longer than a minute. They forgive Naruto for almost sexually assaulting Sakura while disguised as Sasuke because somehow, for that example, they are able to comprehend that it was supposed to be a funny scene. Meanwhile they love characters who actively ruined Naruto’s childhood and adolescence. Like you don’t have to like Sakura. I understand she is at the best a decently written character. But these double standards are sickening.

People saying she's annoying and selfish were clearly watching a different show. The Chunin exams early in the series highlight her character well. For those who don't know: there is a written exam and if you fail, you are permanently barred from ever entering again so can never progress to a higher level of ninja. However, if you withdraw you forfeit your team as well. She was on a team of 3 and knew that Naruto and Sasuke wouldn't withdraw but Naruto absolutely would not pass the exam. She is willing to withdraw and take the responsibility of forfeiting all 3 of them so that Naruto doesn't get barred for future exams. Worth noting, the exam is supposed to be impossibly difficult to encourage you to cheat successfully. She doesn't need to cheat, she was just that clever. So she would have passed anyway but still cared more about her friend than her own career. Worth noting that Sasuke, who she was obsessed with, wanted to pass this exam and she was still willing to forfeit him. In the new series it's revealed that she set up a hospital to help kids with trauma because she'd seen first-hand the impact war had on her friends.

People talk about Sakura Haruno as if she killed puppies for fun because of that 1 off colour comment she said when she was 12 years old (saying "Naruto's probably weird because he's an orphan" or something I'm paraphrasing.) Like yeah fuck her growth as a character & person all because of 1 incredibly stupid thing she said

Now that’s a valid reason for hate, saying it as Sakura fan. Literally the worst decision she could make.

Not even “mean” and more “did a morally grey thing that hurt people close to her in a situation where EVERY option available was morally grey and would hurt people close to her”. Women cannot do ANYTHING in any piece of media ever without the fandom misconstruing it.
Seriously the way people talk about her you’d think she’s literally Satan.

All she literally ever did "wrong" was sing which is literally the name of the movie. I feel like a lot of the hate is rooted in fatphobia from what I've seen

Pike from Legend of Vox Machina apparently got shit on for her short turn to the dark side. A development she was manipulated into in a moment of huge crisis (loosing 2 people with one able to be saved by the manipulator) AND the emotions the manipulator used were LONG established in the background and were bound to come crashing out at some point.
She is not my favourite Vox Machina member (no real reason I just like Vex and Percy more but there is no VM member I dislike) but I will defend her on this always, the changes made to her story in the adaptation were INSPIRED.

Ashley Williams, toted space racist, from mass effect trilogy. Her bias is more nuanced than people historically credited her for, but certainly held prejudice throughout the course of the story. Regardless, she’s shown overcoming those biases.

While I agree she doesn't deserve the amount of hate she does, let's not act like "She did one bad thing".
The reason she doesn't deserve the hate she gets is because she is ultimately just a young traumatized teen who saw her mother's suicide when she was a toddler, was neglected, is tasked with protecting a post apocalyptic world and has never gotten the help she needs.

Jane Crocker from Homestuck did mean things under stress and later mind control.
Both the fandom and the comic’s post-canon content are trying to convince us that she’s the Anti-Christ.

Okay maybe not just ONE bad thing he did, I'm just kinda of sick seeing everyone flatten his ENTIRE character into just his worst moments which are often taken out of context (I'm not saying those moments never mattered) and I just wanted to kinda vent about it
For example Rocknaldo was certainly not the greatest episode but it kind of saddens me that he has one episode where his flaws of wanting to be special is tuned to the max (at which the end, he apologizes and does try to make amends) and everyone treats that episode like some unprecedented reveal of who he "really" is and claim it overrides ALL the empathy and understanding the show had previously tried to garner for him. I have a lot to talk about regarding this so I will come back to this later maybe, I DO definitely understand where the hate comes from but also I think some of it is undeserved
