Re: What hated TV/Movie/Game characters do you think didn't deserve it?

I only watched the first three seasons of Grey’s Anatomy, but I liked Meredith and have never felt she deserved the hate she got, even that early in the show.

I only watched the first two seasons of Orange Is The New Black but I (for the most part) liked Piper, and don’t feel she deserved the hate she got.

Also, which I can see why people criticize Lorelei and Rory Gilmore for how they were in the new season, throughout most of the show’s original run I think they were great characters, and don’t deserve it at all.

There’s probably a few other white female main characters from well-off backgrounds I could add to this list. I am white, but I’m not straight and I grew up poor af, and personally I still find these characters relatable, and often admirable, and I sympathize with their personal conflicts. Their privilege in certain areas doesn’t make the pain they feel or the difficulties they face any less legitimate or impactful to me.

About the Gilmores... I loved the first few seasons of the show, so I liked the characters. By season 6, though, ASP had started to make Lorelai and Rory kinda unlikable to me. (I mean Lorelai in the season 6 finale? Ugh.) Season 7 kinda redeemed Lorelai for me by the end, even if I still didn't love Rory as much, so I decided to try watching the new episodes, and no. I thought season 6 was bad? That was so much worse. And it kinda tainted the whole show/characters for me now. I used to rewatch early season episodes, but I've not done that since I tried watching the new show. And it makes me sad.

TBH I remember very little after the first four seasons of GG. I'm pretty sure I haven't seen the later seasons since they aired, and I don't think I saw all of the final two seasons. So I can't really say whether I agree or disagree. All I know is that, imo, the Lorelei and Rory I know from the first few seasons are great. And also, it bothers me when people act like Lorelei and Rory were always very privileged and always expected to be handed everything, because that was very much not the case for the first few seasons, and it was definitely not implied to be the case for the 16 years leading up to the first few seasons.

I really didn't like them overly much in the new season, either. It's just the revisionist history that bothers me. They became a lot less likeable as the show went on, and suddenly it became very popular to talk about how you never liked them and they were always shitty characters.

That makes sense. And I agree with you that when I watched the first four seasons I thought they were great. I never thought they were always shitty (or always privileged/entitled) characters, and I could totally understand why that would bother you.

My feelings for Meredith were always complicated. She was never my favorite, but that was really because I related to her too much. I didn't hate her, she was just too much me on the screen for her to be a top character the way Callie and Christina were. Those two were what I wanted to be. But Meredith was also smart and skilled and had a lot of really great moments and some of the hate she got was plainly sexist.
