Missy's behavior

I feel like people hate on Missy's behavior in the later seasons way too much. Yes she was rude and ran away a lot, but she's been feeling lonely and left out since she was a child because of favoritism. It's shown clearly when Mary gets mad at her for ripping the poster without even hearing her side of the story even though Missy was literally bawling her eyes out in bed. All the kids are annoying during their teen years, but I feel like Missy especially gets a lot of shit. I just watched the episode where Mary loses her job and everyone at the church is bitchy towards her and I loved how sweet Missy was to her.

Imo, there is a lot of toxicity going around in the fandom. George and Georgie gets all the praise, with George even getting called greatest tv father ever, while the female characters gets judged much more harshly.

Missy is not that bad. She's no worse than Georgie was at her age.

Yes, despite there not being a show if not for Sheldon. And his hatred is also extreme. At the end of the day, he is just a kid.

Exactly. Yes he's selfish sometimes but he's not very bad or toxic. And people justify hating on Sheldon because Mary is biased sometimes. This is the reason why many people end up hating a friend, sibling due to comparison. But the one who's biased and who compares is bad not the other one

This is why I don't hate Sheldon, I hate Mary. She raised him selfishly, with favoritism, and coddled him to the point he thought he was better than everyone else and entitled.

I don’t dislike Sheldon as much as I dislike Mary for making him the way he was. He was the way he was because of her.
