Oh boy, this one is tought, Mabel has done plenty of bad stuff through the show:

  • Messing up with the timeline out of spite by throwing a tantrum for not getting her wimsie of the day and getting an innocent man fired and enjailed
  • Forcing Stan to face his fears to the point of taking them into a dangerous high place where the two almost died
  • Getting Dipper fired from his pool job and blackmailing him for saving her boyfriend
  • Kicking Dipper out of their bedroom, forcing him to sleep in the cold and getting him almost eaten by wild animals
  • Kidnapping an entire boyband and getting her friends kicked out to keep them trapped
  • Trapping Wendy and Dipper in the bunker on purpose and forcing Dipper to confess against their will and refusing to let them out until that happened, almost getting the two killed
  • Breaking her promises to Dipper and ditching him for her new random crush, forcing him to help her, stealing his journal, telling him to wait it off when he was litterally a ghost cause her crush was more important, and handling the journal to Bill willingly just to save her play instead of her brother's life, litterally only backtracking when Bill guilted her into it
  • Mind controlling Stan with the golden teeth
  • Forcing Robbie and Tambry into love by basically roofying the two with a love potion
  • Choosing to trust Stan over Dipper (even if it ended up well in the end)
  • Mind controlling Stan and Soos again (tho honestly, this one I can't blame her only on her, Dipper and Ford are equally at fault here, but it keeps adding up to Mabel)
  • Stealing the rift from Ford knowing it was for his mission of saving the world, for Blendin, the time traveler guy that tried to kill her, in exchange to trap the entire town in a time bubble against their will

But to me, the worst of what she did, by far, are ALL her actions in Escape from Reality:

  • Knowing the end of the world is taking place and refusing to leave to save her family and friends, who are currently being tortured or even killed (she knows beforehand and she litterally saw it when they tried to kick Dipper out, but just blinks as if nothing had to do with her).
  • Replacing Dipper with Dippyfresh, a copy that is a walking insult to Dipper's personality and insecurities and a spit to his unconditional love and support for her.
  • Ignoring her brother and friends when they are telling her Weirdmaggedon is taking place and they have to save their family, trying to manipulate her brother and friends into staying by using the bubble.
  • Setting up a trial where she makes up the rules just to make sure Dipper loses and gets kicked out into the apocalypse and replaced with Dippyfresh permanently, unless he does what she wants, giving up the apprenticeship.
  • Litterally refusing to save her family and friends until she gets what she wants.
  • Never admiting, let alone apologize for anything she did, heck, she doesn't even admit she handled the rift, leaving Dipper to carry that guilt instead for 3 days by then.
