All the time, I hear about how there are people filtering Cersei through the lens of "poor misunderstood woobified victim who was trying her best and never actually did anything bad" and. WHERE ARE THEY?? WHERE ARE THESE PEOPLE?????

BECAUSE THIS HAS VERY MUCH NOT BEEN MY EXPERIENCE

#like I have no doubt that they exist somewhere #but I have never seen them!#90% of what I see is 'I hate her because she's a one-dimensional bitch and here are all of the horrible things I think she deserves'#I always wonder if these people are talking about me even though it would make no sense for them to even know I exist #(<-girl who notably does not often tag her cersei posts)#but. me saying 'here's where I think she was coming from' or 'sometimes she'll say something and I'll go 'yeah I get it' ' or 'there is #something very visceral and real and compelling and relatable about her' is not. me saying that she is a good person lol.#I have on several if not many occasions specifically mentioned how she is not A Good Person™ and that #I understand if her flaws make people uncomfortable.#(but I also talk about how I don't understand what makes her uniquely awful compared to other popular characters across various #franchises so I. again. DO wonder if the 'people excuse everything she did ever and think she's Good™' comments refer to me sometimes)#ANYWAY. the point is that people have sympathy for horrible actions when they come from anyone else but not from her hmmm gee I wonder why #people will try to be 'objective' and 'narratively-focused' in character evaluation unless it's her
