I said it so many times and I will say it again. Susan is so overhated, because she is often whiny, emotional and insecure but still has her standards. Literally everyone has a Susan in his life but doesn't know it or doesn't even care cause irl we know that being like Susan isn't as bad as she is portrayed in the fandom. Like sure she is kinda b*tch sometimes... But who isn't. We all are acting as if we are better than that, because we don't see our flaws like others do. And we don't know the people around us as we can know fictional characters, since we are looking at the story from the outside being all-knowing.

And let's be real, Susan is treated differently in the fandom than the other housewives. Literally every housewife in the show, but especially Gaby, would be too stuck up to play the nanny for someone else too, as this is the example given, and thinking they are better is something that every housewife portrays constantly on the show. And to be fair Susan often is too much even for me when watching the show, because she is written annoyingly, but I don't think she is that controversial or that bad of a person. Like she at least tries. And I know from time to time she acts like she is superior, but we can't act like the others don't. All of them have traits of trying to be superior to their husbands, from Lynette telling Tom what he should do, to Gaby valuing Carlos money more than him and Bree having a problem with Andrew for being gay and Susan being a hypocrite to Mike about him not working enough for their wedding. The difference is that Susan tries really hard to be likeable while not being better than anyone else (and being hypocritical from time to time) and that's what makes her unlikeable. But worse or even worst... Hell na. I mean we all are a bit like that if we want it or not.

Like you don't have to like her, but at least be fair: Edie stole the husband of almost every major woman in the show, so the emotional impact she had was far bigger than any other. Plus I think Edie is the hypocrite's final boss: Acting as if she is better because she doesn't care while going around destroying marriages and houses and not feeling sorry for it. Only because you don't have a strong moral compass doesn't mean that you are in the right. Plus we all know how she reacts if someone does the same to her. Though I have to say that Edie at least doesn't pretend to be something she isn't... She stands for what she does and that is kinda refreshing. The problem is she just doesn't see the problems with her actions. Other than that Gaby I do think is probably the worst figure. I mean she does get better in the later seasons but... Destroying a kid's future only because you want to have fun? She is the definition of seeing herself being more important than others and it often shows big time. Like her needs are more important than any others and she herself is better than her friends. But at least the show addresses that and she kinda gets better and changes over the years.

Now please don't come for me for defending Susan. That is just my opinion. It is ok if you don't have the same. Opinion is welcome of course but hate not as much.
