[orange is the new black]

She isn't perfect but I like her.

I don't like her really.

Somebody say they love her, and we'll have covered all our bases.

I really like her. /bases covered

Exactly.

Well, she's not the next Walter White, but she is refreshingly, humanly flawed in a very real way.

Yup.

I think it's more complex than that, that's why I like it. Isn't Walter White a terrible crime lord who kills people?? Piper is just annoying and self-involved!

walter white started out as a boring normal chemistry teacher and slowly turned into a shitty person

(no subject)

I don't like her at all, but the show and other characters are interesting...and I find her a bit more tolerable to end of S1 but not enough to like her

I don't understand why fandom hates her like fandom does. She starts off as whiny and entitled because that's the point of her character, but in 1 season she's really developed a lot. When she made the capsaicin back rub for Red, I thought she was really cool and resourceful.

Yeah, I think part of the point of her character IS her evolution. She really does get less annoying as the season goes on, imo.

I was storying to worry that I was the only one who didn't loathe her.

LMAO

WHAT?

She's not supposed to be the next Walter White. She's not THAT bad, you guys. She has a tendency to be really self-absorbed and selfish and she was really naive at the beginning of the series. But you're not supposed to hate Piper.

I quite like her tbh.

She's nowhere near Walter White, she's just a normally flawed human being. I love that about her. She's sympathetic, and yet she cheats on her fiance. She's nice and selfless at times, and then she can be self-involved or mean. She can be naive, but also really intelligent.

I think that's what I love most about this show, to be honest. She really feels like someone I could know.

She makes for an interesting character and I like that - but on a gut level I dislike her. Ignoring the prison activities, she's the kind of person I wouldn't want to get to know.

So even though I don't like her, it doesn't affect my viewing pleasure

I guess she's just human.

I like her. She grows throughout the series and isn't perfect. I don't think you're always suppose to be on her side to be honest. She is entitled and it's good that people close to her point out her flaws and smack her down. She has lots of growing still to do.

I'm glad *spoilers ahead* that she was dumped by both Larry and Alex. I think being single for a bit will be good for Piper.

Really? These are the only two options?

piper's character works for me if she's supposed to be obtuse and frustrating at times.

i think the audience is supposed to feel sympathy for piper, but i think we're supposed to feel some level of sympathy and empathy for all of the inmates.

I mean, she's irritating, but mainly for the Doylist reason that it's 2013 and we can still only talk about WOC's stories through a whitegirl audience-proxy protag.

Doubtful given that the series is based on a jailhouse autobiography of a woman who now writes professionaly, identifies as bisexual, and is in a long-term relationship.

Well, as far as I know, 90% of the fandom doesn't think she's super cool and justifies everything she does.

Piper is ok. I don't love her, but I don't hate her either.

I do have an irrational hatred for her "best" friend, though.

The next Walter White? Let's hope!

I'd love to see female characters as complex and flawed as Walter. Someone I can both love and absolutely loathe at the same time. Someone I can empathize with and not understand at all. I'd love to see female characters who are downright horrible people but still relatable. Why should guys get all the fun?

So... come to think of it, Piper probably won't be the next Walter White.
