While I agree with her, that the internet can suck, I disagree that people don't like her because she's a strong, female character

Just the opposite, she's too wishy washy.

You hate Walter, tell him to fuck off, and walk away (take the kids...keep the, "Walt is a gambler," story, to save face). That would be a strong, female character; that would be Walt's equal (or even killing him).

A strong female character would go toe-to-toe, every episode, and try to unwind and/or sabotage what Walt was doing.

Is that Skylar...nope

The problem with all the characters she mentions (and Lori Grimes) is how they're written. -- nm - nubby Aug 24, 16:26 2
- I dunno. Female characters seem to inspire more hatred than males. - Roger More Aug 24, 17:05 1
