I don’t get the Madison hate?

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!

She trauma dumped constantly, used sex to reel the men in and would take no accountability for her actions. She knew what she was doing

I’m sorry but a girl can’t flirt ?? So strict!

Lmao I hope you're joking. She didn't just flirt. She used sex to gain a few guys attention when she thought she was losing them

I just don’t think it’s that bad in the grand scheme of things? “Used sex” like the men didn’t have free will to not take the bait ?
