V!Shelby rant
We need to stop treating V!Shelby like she does nothing wrong, don’t get me wrong I love V!Shelby, I believe she tries to be a good person, and hasn’t done as much evil compared to others. But V!Shelby is the person who tolerates intolerance, and still tries to protect people, but then acts surprised when the wolves eat the sheep. Like seriously V!Shelby is stuck in a toxic friend group, sure, but she has repeatedly choose to stay there for the hope of being excepted and included, but it’s not like she doesn’t understand just how evil they are, especially Scott, and has continuously tried to defend him. She can’t really be all woe is me when her sheep get eaten by the wolves that she was choosing to hang around with. It’s not like she wouldn’t have been excepted back into town at any point, she is the one that was most defended, even at the end of this episode where she knows Apo has rejoined the town, and she is still trying to convince herself that they wouldn’t take her back, the ONLY reason they wouldn’t is because she has purposefully aligned herself with horrible people. The townsfolk have tried to accept Shelby at SO many points and she has just turned them down. She can’t blame them not wanting her on anyone but herself. Shelby can’t have it both ways, trying to be nice and not kill, and still ally with people who were just killing for fun at the start. She can’t be surprised Abolish killed her, because in the end your own actions fade, and you become one with who you ally with, right or not. She can’t claim to be a good person whose done nothing wrong while still knowing full well the intentions of her friends and not doing anything, being a silent bystander is still a crime.
