Why do the creators want us to start hating Bree?

[AM]

With every video she becomes more and more intolerable. It doesn't make any sense. Didn't people start watching to begin with because they liked her?

Most fans hope against hope that with each video Bree will become likable again.

So what possible motivation could the creators have for making us dislike her so much?

ETA: The only thing I can think of is they don't want us to be too upset when they finally kill her off. J/K sort of

I like mean Bree. Shes more real to me.

I'd rather her realistically grieve than have her go...

"rats, my dad got shot in front of me and I'm all alone. Poo poo, now for another episode of proving pysch. 101 wrong! Silly therapists, if you take enough uppers... EVERYTHING IS GGREEEAAAAAAAAT!"

[trainer101]

Hmmmm.....
No shots, no pills...
Maybe we're finally seeing the real Bree.

Epogen shots and iron pills - yeah, right...

I think part of the reason she's unlikable is that it's hard to show true grieving in "real" time. This story follows a realistic timeline. They can't really fast forward through it. They can't just stick in a photomontage that occupies the space of a few months. I also don't think they've done a good job showing grieving. At all. Grieving follows a pattern. You can jump around beteen the different stages of grief but they are all there at some point. Denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance. Where has any of that been? She jumped right to depression and now there's nothing. She's emotionless.

In addition, consider Bree's character when the series started. Consider everything she's been through. She's supposed to be smart. She hasn't learned very much. We haven't really seen her experience emotional growth at all. There haven't been any life lessons. She's still just an angsty teenager in extraordinary circumstances. It was enough to carry the series at the beginning but I don't think it's enough now. I think the whole thing is suffering from shallow writing. There's no depth anywhere.

I agree with Danielle, lol.
I say mean things about boys sometimes when they're upsetting me. Maybe Bree is feeling jealous so she took it out on them.

It's kinda sad. Watch the ungrateful tread

Maybe she's becoming emo.

We don't hate Bree. Its just the suspiciously absent posters who are trying to turn us against her. She needs our help!

Im starting to not like her myself nobs

Im starting to not like her myself nobs

Yeah, that. I'm trying really. I want to be loyal but the creators are making it damned hard.
