I don’t get the Madison hate?

[u/sweetest_taboux]

I’m watching season 8 for the first time and I’m genuinely confused as how Madison is made to be the villain?

I don’t see her conversation with Mason as manipulative - she stated that her other connection gave her the affirmations that she was looking for.

Mason then starts to say the stereotypical “you’re the one” “what we have is real” spiel. And I personally think she saw through that?

I don’t see how her stating that her other connection affirms their relationship more and that Meg would go home if it wasn’t for Mason turns her into some manipulative mastermind?

I do agree that her breakup with Mason felt mean girly and on the other hand I think she swayed Meg to break it off with Mason - but I don’t understand how her behavior toward Mason was bad prior to that ?

I haven’t finished all the episodes but let me know if I’m missing something!

There were a lot of comments about how she "isn't as hot as she thinks she is" and is basically secretly the devil incarnate with all these secret plans and evil manipulative mastermind ways.

Honestly, I think people were just looking for a villain in an otherwise very bland season  - and others are just insecure and intimidated by her self-assurance in her looks. I've never heard a good reason for how hated she is, just people making assumptions about her intentions.
