Re: Lizzie Bennet

The only thing that bothers me is all the fans talking about how Lizzie is "the worse sister ever" and how what happened to Lydia is ~all~ Lizzie's fault.

Uh............ No?

Lydia is a grown ass woman, and she is just as much to blame for her and Lizzie's fight as Lizzie is. They are both at fault for the fight that drove them apart. The ONLY person actually at fault for Wickham's doucheness is Wickham.

(I mean, I get *Lizzie* blaming herself, it makes sense! But fans doing it bugs me.)

huh...honest curiosity, where are you seeing that? I haven't seen it. I poked around on Tumblr a little after it came out but my Tumblr patience ran out. I mainly just browsed the YT comments and not one person there blamed Lizzie.

But if that's happening, yeah, that would upset me too. It's NOT Lizzie's fault, OR Lydia's. The fight is both of their fault (though moreso Lydia's imo? but that's water under the bridge now) but Wickham being a douche is Wickham being a douche. Knowing how YT comments often are, I'm pleased that 99% of my fellow commenters blame Wickham and only Wickham, recognize that their relationship is abusive as hell, and wanted Lydia to get herself out ages ago, but didn't blame her.

It was on tumblr, there were several posts about how "Lizzie is the WORST SISTER EVER" and complaints about WHY WASN'T SHE WATCHING LYDIA'S VIDEOS??? (because the last video she watched had Lydia tearing her to pieces maybe?)

I like tumblr, so I don't run out of tumblr patience, but I wish I had before I saw those posts. :/

(I agree with you, Lizzie was thoughtless, yes, but she meant well; Lydia was needlessly and knowingly cruel, but that doesn't matter anymore.)

That's nice! I haven't really been watching the Lydia videos, because of personal reasons, but I have a friend who's been keeping me informed, and I can look at gifs, so I'm glad to know people in the youtube comments are being civil. :)

Ew, that is really gross, and also stupid. No, just no.

I can totally understand not watching Lydia for personal reasons - I won't ask, but I imagine if someone had experienced/knew someone who had experienced something like that it would be very difficult. Glad you are able to keep up on the story though. Crossing my fingers that she gets a happier ending than in the book. I think she deserves that chance.

Yeah... I almost wanted to make a post about it, but I decided not to. Maybe after the situation ends, you know? Because I'm afraid if I do it right now, no matter how neutrally I try to phrase it, it will come across as Lydia-bashing, which is not what I want to do at all!

Ah well.

And thank you! There were some posts today about how you HAVE to watch the Lydia videos or you're SO MISSING OUT HOW COULD YOU YOU HORRIBLE PERSON and it just made me feel all sorts of gross, so this comment was very kind of you to make. :)
