Think of it like this, people: If the Rashta fanbase continues to infantalize her, strip her of her flaws and remove every ounce of her nuance, then in a weird way, the fanbase will be giving Alphatart the satisfaction by perpetuating the idea that Rashta is a one dimensional bimbo who only got as far as she did because men were lifting her up.
Instead, we should be upset that Rashta's villainess side was either actively stifled by the author or just lazily written in general. What's the point of trying to convince your audience that your main antagonist is a threat if you're too scared of her besting the protagonists? No more random characters that have all but five panels of screentime no one will care about for Rashta to betray and/or kill, I want more characters like Delice! Characters who had build up, ones you could connect to!
I'm not saying I want Rashta to just be a complete monster with no nuance at all, that was literally what I was fighting against for two years 😭, but the girl is no perfect victim and she shouldn't be forced into that box. Perfect victims are Navier, they don't exist irl, and they're misogynistic stereotypes of what a "good woman" should do if she was ever hurt by a man.
Rashta is not a perfect victim, she gets attached to her abusers, she's quick to resort to underhanded measures without thinking of any consequences just to get what she wants, she's more distrustful of women than she really should be, she can get violent as a knee-jerk reaction, and she dodges accountability. While all these traits can make her more frustrating, they are all a significant improvement writing-wise compared to Navier's occasional elegant crying.
