So because I’m still so shook over the amount of PLL fans who absolutely worship Emison and insist that Alison became some absolutely redeemed, adorable angel and how dare anyone dislike her, let’s recap her actions from the beginning to the end of the series:
Constantly fat-shamed Hanna and then followed up by teaching her to throw up her food as a way to “get rid of” the weight
Slut-shamed Hanna the first time any guy showed any interest in her, and made sure she knew it wasn’t because she could be viewed as attractive
Blackmailed Byron for thousands of dollars after finding out about his affair
Held said affair over Aria’s head for months on end and used it to manipulate her into doing whatever Alison wanted
Gave Spencer an ultimatum over her kiss with Ian and, as with Aria, constantly held it over her head
Led Emily on with sweet interactions and a kiss when she knew that Emily was in love with her
Completely ripped Emily apart, made her feel weird and wrong for liking girls, and pushed her back into the closet
Regularly teased Emily in front of others over her sexuality
Nearly outed both Emily and Paige by writing a fake love letter on Emily’s stationary and threatening to expose Paige’s response to it
Bullied Paige relentlessly, almost to the point of suicide
Threw a lit firecracker into a small space when she knew people were inside, blinding Jenna in the process
Proceeded to blackmail Toby into taking the blame and going to juvie, then created a false narrative in which Spencer was the mastermind behind the incident in case the girls were caught
Mercilessly bullied Mona, Lucas, and countless others
Drugged her friends the night of her disappearance
Knew that the Liars were being tormented by “A,” and not only did not return to help them, but never offered them any valuable information during her mysterious visits, and even outright claimed to know who “A” was and not tell them
Isolated Emily from the other girls with the narrative that Emily was the only one she could trust
Let Spencer believe that she could have tried to kill Alison, or killed Bethany, that night even though she knew Spencer was in agony over it
Immediately lied to the police upon her return, without so much as consulting her friends before dragging them into her kidnapping story
Claimed she returned Emily’s feelings right when Emily was about to go meet Paige, then used Emily’s attraction to her to manipulate her later in the episode (trying to kiss her when Emily was upset with her)
Immediately responded to “A’s” return by planning to run away again, thus leaving her friends to not only deal with “A” on their own - AGAIN - but to clean up the huge mess she left behind with her lies
Snuck around in Spencer’s backyard dressed as “A,” then became incredibly defensive when confronted instead of explaining
Staged a traumatizing attack on Hanna’s mom just so an adult would believe her story
Went behind the Liars’ backs throughout the entire Cyrus ordeal for her own self-preservation without including them in any of her plans, all under the guise of “keeping them safe”
Conspired with Holbrook to make sure that the questions asked during her lie detector test would cast suspicion on Spencer for Bethany’s murder
Showed up at Mona’s funeral wearing a heinously inappropriate dress, when she knew she was the number one suspect
Apologized in jail to Hanna for “bossing her around,” but not for the slut-shaming, fat-shaming, or encouraging her to develop an eating disorder
Nearly threw Hanna under the bus for Mona’s murder to save herself until Veronica reminded her of the negative effects it would have on *her*
Whined and bitched incessantly after the dollhouse about how difficult things were for her, straight to her friends who had been kidnapped and tortured
Did not hesitate to show sympathy and understanding for Charles, once again to the people who were tortured and kidnapped by this person
Responded to an argument with Hanna by refusing to attend Aria’s big gallery opening and not so much as texting her about it
Openly claimed that Spencer “never even liked her” when just months before Spencer had literally shielded her from gunfire with her own body
Attempted to demand that the Liars testify on Charlotte’s behalf and completely disregarded their feelings or trauma, even going so far as to send a cheery “good news!” text afterward
Proceeded to then throw all of them under the bus for Charlotte’s murder because Aria had to go back to work
Spent all of the last season moping and complaining instead of helping the Liars take down A.D.
Was a nasty, juvenile bully toward Paige, after she was supposedly so remorseful for how she’d treated her in high school
Made constant nasty remarks to her friends, such as screaming at Hanna to shut up, whining that when Hanna “panics like that I can’t even think,” and screeching “what the hell are you doing here?” at Aria
Snarking “grudge, much?” at the woman she literally blinded and never so much as apologized to
Threatened her 16 year old student
Okay but to be fair, let’s look at all of the good things that Ali did too:
Helped get the girls out of the dollhouse
Once asked Aria if she wanted something to eat
