I liked her but I'm totally willing to acknowledge it's basically a bit part and leave it at that. What really pisses me off is people acting like she was selfish, a terrible person, etc.

I can’t believe she has haters and lovers willing to dissect her character so much. She’s like you said, a bit part meant to die. I don’t think the writers put any thought into her at all outside of generic friend to die. I mean it shows in how much Nancy or Barb’s parents DGAF about her until season 2 with the fan push back.

Nancy was absolutely stressing about her in season 1, though. That was like...Nancy's whole motivation for getting involved in the plot. Her love triangle bs happened BECAUSE she was looking for and stressed about Barb--Jonathan happened to have information she needed, while Steven couldn't be bothered, so she started working with him instead. And the whole fight with her mom about her sex life doesn't actually matter at all because her best friend is missing and nobody else seemed to care.

This!

And I don't remember seeing Barb's parents much in season 1, they didn't focus on them, so saying they 'didn't give a fuck' seems pretty weird.

Her parents were rarely in it, mostly only mentioned in passing, but they definitely did care. All the lines associated with them was about how worried they were about Barb. It was only a couple of lines, but even in the first season, and even after Nancy moved on, it was always brought up how they were still looking for Barb.
