People are either Vi stans or Jinx stans, and often at each others' throats-
-At least that's what I saw, being 2 days into the fandom
I mean - what would you expect from either of the characters honestly? Both have been through hell. Vi saw all her family dying in front of her eyes, her father literally died in her arms, yeah she should not have lashed out at Powder, but also she was a kid- then we saw she was going back for Powder immediately, but Powder did not see that. Her feelings of being abandoned and being alone were also valid.
(wtf Marcus)
And Powder, she had been a sensitive kid, especially over feeling like a Jinx- so when Vi called her that, it is valid that she would crash out. Her mental health deteriorated so much in the years Vi was locked up, that recovery (while I still believe it was possible) would have taken a lot of time and effort.
I know Vi was willing to give that effort, we saw it, she kept going back for her sister in the first season. But then the situation was shit, Jinx was too far gone to start recovery without help, and however hurt you are, it does not justify you hurting someone else.
Vi wasn't in a position with everything happening (being kidnapped by Marcus, then Ekko, being chased by Silco, trying to save Caitlyn) to give Powder the support and unconditional love that would have actually helped her.
It was a combination of shitty situations on top of them being human and shit happening, and that scene in s2 ep 5 provided some much needed respite and healing.
