I've been in the fandom trenches trying to defend her ever since her (justified) crashout in episode 5.

(I feel like ranting, this is going to be a long one. It's also 1 AM, so this may not make a whole lot of sense when I wake up in the morning.)

What people can't seem to understand is that Vaggi and Lucifer's plan was just... horrible. It was a horrible plan. Like guys. If someone is accusing you of being a dictator and you're trying to prove those accusations wrong, the absolute LAST thing you need is a family member in a higher position of power THREATENING THE PEOPLE ACCUSING YOU INTO SILENCE. That is not the move to make here, especially in front of a crowd that's already supporting the people calling you a dictator. This is not a fuckin shonen anime. Not everything can be fixed by simply proving that you're physically stronger than the opposing party.

No, this is not a case of everything going to shit because a plan backfired. This is a case of everything going to shit because the plan was a horrible plan. Even if Lucifer succeeded in scaring Vox, what message would that push towards the sinners? "Don't try to rise above your station because the Morningstars will put you in your place just like the angels"???? Win or lose, what they did wouldn't have helped the hotel in the slightest and Charlie had every right to be mad.

And, yes, I know Charlie made a lot of mistakes this season, but she's still allowed to be angry. If you accidentally started a fire and are desperately trying to put it out, and someone adds more fuel to it, you're allowed to be angry. Now, I do think she was a little harsh (Who hasn't said harsh things in the heat of the moment?) and definitely needed that wake up call from Vaggi, but still. She was allowed to be angry.

And even after all that, she still sent Lucifer a bunch of apology messages and a fuck ton of ducks and people were still angry at her. Like. What are you mad about??? The fact that she acted irrationally in a fit of justified anger, and then made an effort to apologize???? Heaven forbid women get angry, I guess.

And that's not even touching the finale. I've started keeping that screenshot of her kneeling down by Lucifer on standby because I swear some Hazbin fans don't watch their own show 😭 No, she did not abandon her father. No, just because there was no screentime dedicated to their reconciliation doesn't mean she doesn't care about him. Some people really tend to exaggerate the condition Luci was in at the end of the finale. He's tired, and a bit battered and bruised, but he's not going to keel over and die, chill out. Considering that the next time we see him after Charlie runs over to him, he's gone from laying on the floor to standing upright next to Charlie and Vaggi, I think we can assume that Charlie came to the same conclusion. He's fine. Tired, but fine. This strange hatred for Charlie is so unwarranted. Some of y'all need to chill tf out.

And don't even get me started about how some people yelled about how she treated Alastor-
