but she was reacting to being, in her words, "cruelly wronged," rather than for the mercenary reasons
Because blackmailing someone because you're angry at them is better? I mean, that's what I read you saying here. Honestly, I'm not sure I agree. It's still blackmail.
And then she fell in love with someone else and got over it.
Which means if she hadn't found another guy, she would have gone through with it? Lovely. Oh, and doesn't her going from "I'm mad enough to blackmail him" to "Never mind, I'm happy with this other guy" so quickly show the same sort of lack of commitment the King showed in dumping her?
Ya know, this secret is about people disliking/dismissing female characters on Sherlock. Some people saying, "Well, maybe Irene will show up and be awesome!" But, ya know, if she's true to her canon characterization. then no, She is NOT a good role model. She a blackmailer who changes her mind about it as soon as a better man comes along; which, again, is the sort of thing she's mad at the King for. So she's a hypocrite as well.
