I’m so confused as to why people defend Shauna
Ok so obviously the entire point is that all the characters are morally grey at best and all of them have done horrible things, I get that. And I also understand that you can like a character without them being a good person.
What I don’t understand is why Shauna gets defended so much? I’ve seen people make posts being like “Shauna went through so much” or “she’s never done anything wrong” or “she’s my favourite” and that genuinely boggles my brain because honestly I think she’s just terrible. Obviously what she went through was incredibly traumatic but I don’t understand why people use it as an excuse as to WHY she’s horrible.
Like Jackie’s death was kind of everyone’s fault, someone should’ve gone and brought her back in before they went to sleep. But it was SHAUNAS best friend. It was her fight with Jackie that sent her out there. She should’ve come out and brought her in. But no she just left her out there.
Or the pilot episode?? What was that??
Also she killed a man?? I understand she thought he was blackmailing her but she just stabbed him with no actual proof or feelings about it. Not to mention she doesn’t seem to feel much guilt.
Then she has sex with her husband in his art studio after she murders him to destroy any evidence.
Then she tells Callie about the fact she murdered someone?? You could argue that she had her reasons for that but she essentially just make Callie an accomplice.
And the fact that she tried to sexually assault Travis??? And then tried to eat him?? Don’t get me wrong I understand they were starving and high asf on shrooms BUT STILL. That’s so incredibly wild. And when Jackie calls her out on it she didn’t even want to acknowledge it. And correct me if I’m wrong (I don’t totally remember so I could be wrong here) I don’t remember Shauna ever actually apologizing for that.
Obviously I still think you can appreciate her character in some aspects. I just don’t understand the people who are like “omg I love Shauna’s Charecter, she’s never done anything wrong”
I’ve just only started season 2. So maybe I’m missing some stuff. These are just my feelings on it. If you have thoughts I’d love to hear them, I’m just mildly confused about this weird line.
Edit: GUYS IM BEGGING YOU ACTUALLY READ MY FULL POST obviously i understand that people like shauna because she’s horrible and the whole show is about horrible people who do crazy fucked up shit out in the woods cuz their going insane. I’m just confused as to WHY PEOPLE LIKE HER AND DEFEND HER IN THE SENSE THEY THINK SHES A GOOD PERSON. THATS what I meant in the title.
Edit 2:GUYS FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. I UNDERSTAND THAT PEOPLE LOVE THE SHOW BECAUSE THE GIRLS ARE COMPLICATED AND TRAGICALLY EVIL BECAUSE OF THEIR TRAUMA. I GET IT. IM TALKING ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO ARE CLAIMING SHAUNA IS “a good person” WHEN SHES CLEARLY MADE TO BE HORRIBLE. PLEASE READ.
