Absolutely you gave her a fair chance, and when S:AtF revealed that she was truly ghastly, you had every reason to assume that BL intended for her to be seen that way. Who knew that he has a completely warped view of criminal and immoral behavior? And who knew that he has such a petty, nasty side when readers fail to agree with him?
Seriously, I'm like mourning my love of Brian.
I understand completely; I'm in that same state of mourning, for my love of the AtF comics. That love has been crushed and destroyed and now it makes me sick to read them, but I still remember the joy they once gave me and it breaks my heart that I'll never get that joy back. (Yeah, I was stupid enough to look at a download of the last issue, and the finality regarding Fred that BL ground into it just shattered me. I will never, ever make the mistake of looking at any of them again.)
It's like you were betrayed by him, isn't it? Like you were fooled into defending him when he asked readers to have faith in what he was doing, and he repaid you by suddenly turning into an irrational, spiteful toad. And you keep remembering your pre-toad happiness, and you just want it back.
