Yep, the s2 genocide is what I was talking about. I like how there are such inconsistent consequences to everyone's actions in-universe, but it's disappointing how many people who watch the show take it as face value commentary on how moral each character is.

Also this one:

>Diane jeopardizes her husband’s job by trying to out his sexually abusive co-worker. The co-worker gets away with it.

How is it her fault that he gets away with it? Oof.

Oh, hah. Yeah, that made me go 'wut' (sidenote: I really liked how they handled that plot! A lesser show would have made her succeed or at least have made a tiny difference, but this just went for total bleakness, and I appreciated that since it stopped it feeling patronising and didactic). And yeahhh, it sounds like some viewers need to realise that 'degree of emotion shown onscreen by characters' is not a reliable barometer of the actual severity of other characters' actions. A big part of the joke with that genocide is that everyone onscreen is arguing over their morality because of these smaller things *while ignoring it*. Or better yet, viewers could stop turning to their TV for moral instruction. :P

Oh, and also, just remembered, from the article:

> The reason she’s so disliked is because of who she ends up hurting the most: Mr. Peanutbutter. Mr. Peanutbutter is (understandably, he’s a Yellow Lab) one of the most likeable characters in the show.

*Really*???
