Breaking bad
Why do people hate Skylar? I went into the show knowing the fandom hates her and was ready for some big reason that would make me despise her. But I got none. She was constantly driven to a corner by walt the entire show. In the beginning she's very pregnant and still has to deal with extra stuff with walt lying and manipulating her all the time. I mean if I were pregnant and was dealing with a dismissive husband while also always worrying about bills I would be cranky too. And when she finally puts her foot down, walt ignores that and intrudes in her life anyways. I don't get the she cheated thing either.. I mean she did give him the divorce papers so in a sense they weren't in a relationship anymore. I'm not saying she wasn't hypocritical but that's the whole show every character was saying something and doing opposite when the situation really called for it. She was still a person with a better moral compass than rest of the cast. Walt and Jesse were committing crimes and especially walt was not a good person from the beginning but he doesn't get a lot of criticism. I mean he was the the biggest hypocrite in the show with a moral compass of a psychopath and was really selfish. It was pretty clear to me that family wasn't the reason he started drug dealing like he used to say but just a way to satisfy his big fat ego. In that sense Skylar was always putting family as her biggest priority most of the times but still got shat on and wasn't ever recognised for it. While walt becomes this antihero who got into drug dealing because he wanted to provide for his family..
Probably misogyny. God forbid she has a complaint let alone stand in the way of Walter’s crimes. Imo she was the only normal one in the show & she is another unfortunate victim of Walter’s ego. I’m not really a Skylar defender, I am a Walter critique though ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭ reply
i dont even need to watch the show to know that it's bc of misogyny. cant say i havent been a victim of it, but I try to clock myself whenever i feel like im hating on a female character. overtime, i have come to enjoy “bad” female characters as well. we need bad rep as well as good rep. love me a woman who's unapologetically bad. reply
