However, even though Juliette didn't attack Adalind, it seems most people view even a threat as horrific because of Adalind's unborn baby. Juliette doesn't get off the hook even though Adalind opened her big mouth to Wu, said Juliette should leave, and Juliette left.
Just for comparison purposes, I'll go back to Adalind's treatment of Diana, also unborn at the time. Adalind not only goes overseas to sell her baby, but threatens to abort it if she doesn't get what she wants. Not only that, but she rubs some kind of concoction on her stomach which causes a violent reaction from Diana.
How is all of this horrendous treatment covered up? Well, Adalind kept the baby, doesn't that make her special? According to many here it does. Even the issue that she still got her hexenbiest in the deal is ignored.
I get why those who favor Juliette are outraged at the imbalance between her and Adalind.
That's a very fair point. They both did horrible things and we shouldn't makes excuses for one of them doing something horrible just because the other did. I can see where @Tara is coming from and I have no problem addressing it.
I think Adalind doesn't get brought up all of the time when discussing Juliette is because it's a case by case basis. The current topic is Juliette's actions at the precinct so it makes sense Juliette is going to get bashed. She was clearly in the wrong so it doesn't matter what Adalind did in season 2. That would only be a deflection of what Juliette did in season 4 instead of discussing the matter at hand. Adalind's lack of innocence doesn't make Juliette any less guilty. Adalind was a villain in season 2 but Juliette was clearly the villain towards the end of season. The show was not subtle about it.
I agree with you. The show's intent at that point was to put Juliette on the path to villainy. But Juliette was not a villain at that point.
So let's take it from another angle. As I stated before, it seems to me that at least of few of the posters here voiced a horrific reaction to Juliette threatening Adalind's unborn baby. Juliette advanced toward Adalind, but left when Adalind said she should leave.
You'd think that from the posters' reaction to Juliette's threat, Adalind really and truly wanted this baby. Yet I don't recall any joyous reaction. She took 3 pregnancy tests to convince herself she was pregnant. She never approached Nick once she found out she was pregnant with his kid. She was going to deceive Viktor into believing he was the father, but Kenneth put a stop to that. It was only when Kenneth threw her out that she immediately waddled into the precinct, seeking Nick.
I don't even know if she went to the doctor periodically to make sure the baby was in good health. And finally, what plans did Adalind make in the event that she was going to have to raise this baby herself?
In response, none. Yet, who's hailed as the atrocious one here? None other than Juliette.
The best way to frustrate a cyberbully is to ignore him.
