She's not boring, dude, she's simply a decent human being in a dark story full of evil, sad and twisted people.

I hate that people hated her because she was always the ONLY one I related to.

I mean, she gave a passionless birthday handy while reading a magazine. Pretty boring unless that's what you're into.

A persons character isn't defined by their sexual relationship with their partner

[–] slackassassin@piefed.social -1 points 1 week ago

More so defined by their sense of humor, indeed.

Kim Wexler is a decent human being and she's not boring.

But if you related to her then maybe it's a matter of taste. I don't tend to like very realistic stories because I think they're boring. Like I can't get into the Wire even though everyone else loves it.

Your point falls flat when you see Kim. Different shows but Kim is also like something you described but she's not boring.

I agree there's a unnecessary hate boner for Skylar in bb fanbase but her character is not that interesting. Even Walter is a pussy 99% of the show but for some reason he's portrayed as some tuff sigma male xD. Unrelated, we are still here talking about these characters after more than a decade. Vince Gilligan is truly talented.

The thing I love about Walter is that in his head he's this hardened criminal genius, but in reality he waffles between being a bland nothingburger of a man and a huge asshole. The sigma Heisenberg character is a completely fictional alter-ego that he consistently fails to embody. It's unfortunate that there's such a widespread culture of seeing toxic characters as aspirational badasses because characters like this should be a lesson in being more self-aware about your own moral code and how your behavior affects others.

I agree. It's also quite funny how the meme started. The sigma meme started as a Satire while also being a tribute to old movies, then became the whole mess and bow it's back to being satire again. Gotta love the internet.
