Talk:How the 'A' Stole Christmas/@comment-66.87.81.250-20141109030020

Ok so this is my rant for today ok so I work at a lgbt youth community center and the topic of pretty little liars came up and I of course asked who their favorite character was and who was their least and lot of them said paige was their least and of course I said why but the reason why they don't like her shocked me. A lot of them said the same thing the drowning incident but then I thought us as fandom never really got to warm up to paige like my grandma told me a person first judgment is their lasting impression and what that means is our first taste of paige was high temper girl who tried to drown Emily and yes she said she was sorry but we never found out why paige was the way she was until season 3 yes we know she was bullied by Alison but what do we really know about paige I think in season 1 Paige's home life should have been explored more so we as fans could get a real understanding of Paige McCullers. When we got introduce to paige we knew she was being a bitch to Emily about her being gay. Then we got in site on her past from Spencer who played field hockey with her and said she has her own penalty named after her then came the drowning incident our compassion for paige was gone because now we just think she crazy. Then see this different paige on Emily door step crying in the pouring rain apologizing to Emily and the next day we hear paige say Im thinking about how easier my life would be if I just wiped out Now if you haven't had to deal with coming out self hate and thoughts of suicide you can't identify with paige because you don't know the first thing about it at that moment it should have been up to the writers to show us why paige was like not show us 2 seasons later the pretty liars fandom never got a chance to identify with paige or her story. Another thing stop making it seem like paige is Emily second choice I mean in season one we see Emily leave paige for Samara then in season 3 paige gotta compete with Maya's ghost and then right after they get together she kiss Nate I mean now its Ali when will the character of paige get a storyline and get cut a break when it comes to emily
