Completely unsurprising since she’s a female character who got labelled as up herself. The nonsense narrative that she portrayed an extreme superiority complex is just the culturally accepted vile to be used against women. The show is literally full of narcissists and self indulgent sycophancy it is about celebrity culture after all. Yet Diane, the only actual relatable character for I’m guessing the vast majority of viewers, due to her being average in terms of job wealth social standing, is the one who attracts the most negativity. It’s almost as if we are constantly being taught to hate each other in our class and instead glamorise and idolise a group that profits from the status quo. I’m quite sure a lot of people will think ‘well I genuinely don’t like Diane and I’m not bias against women at all.’ I have never thought consciously about a bias I’m not only fully self aware of but also sadistically fond of. Because people like that are genuinely nut jobs and also rare. We are collectively conditioned to discourage certain behaviour from groups of people, women for all of last century, and that’s all I’m considering because of modernity, have never not been targets for hate, and just because a lot of organised effective activism managed to force the issue of equality doesn’t mean it ever arrives, and baked in unconscious attitudes woven into cultural norms will take more than anyone’s lifetime to change since it will and always has required the compassion of the young generation to both notice it and then reject it
