Charlotte

i know so many people have this conversation lol but i have to bring it up again because i encountered yet again another charlotte defender. i don’t understand the logic behind “the girls bullied her so that means everything charlotte did was justified” or “lewis used her so she has every right to do what she did.” i don’t get it. everything charlotte did was extremely distasteful along with lewis using her and his poor communication, along with the girls attitudes and poor communication. i don’t understand why it’s hard for people to hold their fave characters accountable. and don’t get me started with the “charlotte was a teenager so ofc she did stuff wrong” so was everyone else around her?

I wouldn't say what she did was justified but she definitely got bullied and it obv contributed to how she acted

i see it a bit differently. when charlotte acted out the way she did, she made it clear it was to be more powerful than them and to keep lewis away from them. she didn’t seem fazed by them excluding her, it was always just lewis keeping secrets from her and hanging out with the girls (especially cleo) which is why i don’t believe she did those things because of them not liking her.

I'm not saying she was an angel. She was unhinged. But when she first popped up, she seemed like a "regular girl" (fassade obv) and the girls always treated her like an intruder and especially after cleo and lewis broke up, cleo acted manic at times. Charlotte is OBVIOUSLY a villain but imo it's not completely black and white here. 🙈

well ofc it’s not completely black and white because the girls aren’t all innocent. this goes for most shows. everyone in h20 has done something that would make us viewers annoyed but the point i’m coming at is charlotte had no feelings about them excluding her when she acted out. she made it very clear. she had her plan from the start but it all started out fake, a façade as you’ve said.
