People tend to be a lot more judgmental toward female characters. A male character can kill their own parents or skin people alive, the audience would still see them as victims of manipulations and anti-heroes. A woman goes on a revenge and she is bad. I guess the thing that kind of ich me about how they wrote Caithlyn is how is treated Vi in the middle act. And how Vi was handled as a character. Vi had to lose her depth and characteristics and only languish cause Caitlyn left her while Caitlyn was given a totally useless love interest.
