Just when I think she’s growing as a character, Bay says or does something so unbelievably selfish and self-centered that it irritates the heck out of me.
Spoilers up through 3.15.
So I’m at the point where Angelo gets into an accident. And I just cannot stop finding Bay absolutely insufferable. She’s been annoying since episode 1. I’m pretty sure I stopped watching the first time around because she was just so annoying and unwatchable.
I almost made this post while in season 2 but I just kept waiting for her to grow, because everyone on this subreddit adores her, so I kept thinking I’d like her eventually. But she’s needlessly self-centered about EVERYTHING. I have so many examples I’m up to my eyeballs.
Daphne is just such a sweet kid, I do NOT understand the hate for her at all. Bay tells her not to date Liam, so she doesn’t. Meanwhile Bay dates Ty AND Emmett, and won’t respect Daphne’s wishes. Bay does whatever she wants pretty much without consequence. She does illegal art all the time and lies constantly in season 1. She is so self-important that she drags Emmett into it and he gets arrested. Btw, Bay only learns ASL once she starts dating Emmett, not for her Deaf sort-of sister. Bay asks Daphne for favors and does things when they’re convenient for her but gets mad when Daphne tries to stand up for herself. Bay rarely accepts fault nor learns from her mistakes. And she’s so crushed about being cheated on, then cheats on Tank? It’s hypocritical. Bay begs Daphne not to go to Buckner, then later Bay decides to go to Carlton without any hestitation. Bay sits on her own high horse and gets mad and storms off any time she is challenged. She won’t even listen, unless it’s to find fault in what you say so she can justify being angry and walking away from you. You’re always walking on eggshells around Bay because she so sensitive and self-centered! Everything is always about her!
So now Bay yells at Daphne for taking the SATs?! It’s unbelievable. Daphne can’t do anything right in Bay’s eyes. Bay is the only one who knows right and wrong in her own world, and Bay can do no wrong, everyone else is wrong. It’s SO FRUSTRATING! AHHHH I can’t stand Bay, I’m sorry, I keep trying but she’s insufferable!
EDIT: LMAO thank you to whoever gave me the popcorn award 💀 I have never had such controversial feelings that go against a subreddit’s general opinion like this before. I appreciate the dialogue! I feel passionately about this show, as I do with other television shows. Thank you all for your time.
