Yeah but... respectfully /I hope you don't get offended by my comment/ I want to clarify that - Steffy is throwing stones... not Hope. Hope is actually minding her business and doing her life choices, which I think in 2024 is very demeaning to NOT RESPECT. We live in a post-me too MOVEMENT world and to shame a woman or judge her for refusing a marriage IN THE WAY Steffy is doing... is wrong. Steffy is a BULLY in this situation. And even if people love her to obsession... they should understand that it's not ok.
This leads me to my general observation of this situation - people in the boards, I am not talking about anyone in particular, have this strange habit of forgiving their favorite characters all the mistakes and character flaws that they like to point out in the opposite character that they hate. It's human nature I suppose. We like to be blind to the things that are not good in the people we like and love and associate with. But that doesn't make the history disappear. And that is also very problematic behavior when people start noticing it too much.
So yeah, it's funny to see some people on the boards judging Hope for things Steffy used to do years ago and did THEM worse... while they are obsessed and forgiving and understanding of Steffy. That is the same treatment favorite children get when a narcissistic parent favors them. Two children can do the same thing and only one gets judged and harassed.
I am not a fan Hope or Steffy, I personally find both characters lacking in substance and badly written from the get go. I appreciate the actresses and I believe they are some of the best and DESERVE better storylines... or even BETTER shows to play in.
That's what I think.
