Why do people dislike my character on “Breaking Bad”?

THE ACTRESS EFFING WROTE AN ARTICLE ABOUT PEOPLE HATING SKYLAR WHITE FOR BEING MULTI-LAYERED AND BELIEVABLY UPSET AND PROTECTIVE OF HER KIDS AND TRYING TO DO THE BEST SHE CAN WHILE WALTER JUST SPIRALS INTO CRAZY VIA HIS EGO AND NEED FOR POWER. 

ALSO, WHO IS GIVING ANNA GUNN HATE FOR PLAYING A CHARACTER ON TELEVISION. 

“Vince Gilligan, the creator of “Breaking Bad,” wanted Skyler to be a woman with a backbone of steel who would stand up to whatever came her way, who wouldn’t just collapse in the corner or wring her hands in despair. He and the show’s writers made Skyler multilayered and, in her own way, morally compromised. But at the end of the day, she hasn’t been judged by the same set of standards as Walter.”

“But I finally realized that most people’s hatred of Skyler had little to do with me and a lot to do with their own perception of women and wives. Because Skyler didn’t conform to a comfortable ideal of the archetypical female, she had become a kind of Rorschach test for society, a measure of our attitudes toward gender.”

Anna Gunn drops some TRUTH BOMBS

Skyler White is awesome and if you disagree I will fight you.
