#why are people willfully ignoring daya’s toxic behavior? she’s toxic to just about the entire prison or anyone who comes close to her

[asscidtears]

all this people saying daya deserved dying really make my racist sirens go off

except believing daya deserved the ending she got had nothing to do with race? This isn’t a race issue. Daya started out as an incredibly sweet and relatable character. She was just this funny, nice young girl who loved and had a passion for drawing. She was someone wanted better for herself and it wasnt until writers did a complete character assassination which made me start to hate her. Daya has become truly horrible and in my opinion very intolerable to watch. She suddenly transformed into a monster and became this OG prison drug lord? Telling taystee she’ll gladly fuck up and rearrange cindy’s face days before her getting out? plotting with taystee to sabotage cindy’s early release by planting contraband? setting her mom and Hopper up to get caught to make him lose his job even though she knew he was the SOLE provider for her brothers and sisters at home. Hopper’s income is what put food on the table and took care of the kids. If she wanted to get revenge on Aleida she couldve done that without bringing hopper down with her. She ruined her siblings source of income, how are they suppose to take care of themselves when they become homeless because hopper cant afford to pay rent take care of them anymore due to losing his job?

Involving her THIRTEEN YEAR OLD little sister with her drug business? Her little sister was only 13, why are you having her move weight for you and get you access to drugs? She’s supposed to want better for her and the rest of their siblings so none of them end up like her and their mom aleida. Aleida already was a bad example, role model and horrible mother figure as is, but at least aleida has SOME type of decency to not want that same type of lifestyle for her children and to not follow in her same footsteps. It was already too late for daya, shes serving life and has no chance of ever getting out,, but it wasnt too late for the rest of them, so in a way, i do believe aleida did the right thing, daya NEEDED to he stopped and so yes, the end did justify the means. people fail to realize but daya is one of those characters where even if she isn’t apart of the mainplot, her actions still end up effecting the main plot. a lot of things she does creates a chain reaction effect e v e r y o n e else around her we collateral damage.

Daya needed to die and i think her mom Aleida being the one to kill her was poetic justice in a way. This was the karma she deserved from all the horrible things shes done including unnecessarily and senselessly killing daddy. ( i know it was an accident but she still had bad intentions. She gave daddy that hooch thinking it would just “fuck her up” which is still awful. She intentionally was trying to poison her and it just backfired and killed her.)

In conclusion, i’m not racist. i myself am a WOC and i agree and support the writer’s decision to kill her off, i believe towards the end she became irredeemable and it was a smart decision. I understand that because of the times we currently live in and how fucked up and bad society is, especially towards poc and woc and this may be a sensitive subject, but Tumblr needs to understand that not EVERY poc’s/woc’s death on a TV show or movie isn’t always automatically a result of racism. Remember seasons ago when Red was beefing with Vee? Vee was ran over and killed back in season 3 and no one raised hell from that. Why? BECAUSE SHE WAS A HORRIBLE PERSON. i liked daya in the beginning but towards the end she became this toxic person and so her being killed off wasn’t a bad thing. almost everyone else on the show who started out bad had character development and transformed into better people towards the end of the show, its like daya’s character development aged backwards. i cant speak for other people and why they support her death, but for me personally, it has absolutely NOTHING to do with race, this isnt a race issue with me, its a humanity and morality issue and i believe(d) daya lost both of those, she lost her humanity and her morality. i stand by what i said.
