What I see is some can not understand that right and wrong, good or bad are not absolute concepts. People are forever trying to classify the character and their actions. Because someone thinks a character is bad because of something they did. Does not mean the writers meant it to be seen that way. Especially if there is no character that support that view.
In Grimm how many pages where used to debate how Adalind took Nicks powers. Most where based on personal beliefs. That I can understand. It is when they consider those that see it another way are wrong. That is not to say the those of a different view are right.
With Adalind taking Nick powers there was the rape argument. Even though no where in the show is that stated or implied or a character shown to see it that way. At best Nick was shown as being tricked. But considering they showed him will to sleep with Juliette looking like Adalind. That kind of negates the writers intent for it to be seen as rape. You then had the argument that is was not consensual because Nick thought it was Juliette. Both of these topic caused name calling . Commentators mortality called into question. What was infuriating was they where insistent that it was obvious what was right or wrong.
Even this topic, which is basically what is a hexenbiest. There are many that are adamant about them being bad. And everyone of these arguments is based on something they did. Yet they never consider how the other character received the action, only how the commentator feels about the action.
Take Eve why is she labeled as evil. She has only been shown helping the group. You get the argument that there was no redemption. Even though the writers choose to make the negative acts be performed by Juliette. You then get the comments that shout BS. You have the, she was brained washed. Yet there is no implication of that, it does show she is part a a military special ops to explain her change. Even Juliette's negative events the writers made her parts negligible. Yet there are those that argue Juliette to the evilest character on the show.
I understand these arguments. I also understand the writers do write things to elicit a certain reaction. Because the story is not about these salacious points of view. They do not right anything to support them. If the writer wants a character evil they leave no doubt. One good way is to have characters refer to them that way in a statement. Not when making a bombastic remark. Such as Elizabeth calling Adalind a slut when she did the hat trick.
One thing I have learned. There are actually people who can not or will not look behind the curtain. They believe whatever makes sense and sounds good to them.
