Talk:How the 'A' Stole Christmas/@comment-5232449-20140930130713

I get why people like Alison so much, since she's the most complex, mysterious and interesting on the show, but why are you desperately trying to justify her and what she did? She never was a friend to any of them: she made fun of Hanna because of her bulimia and pushed her to her breaking point more than once, blackmailed Spencer just in order to get what she wanted, hurt Emily's feelings because she thought Alison felt the same, and blackmailed Aria as well when she had nothing to with Aria's family's personal business. Not to mention she was a bully to anyone (Lucas, Mona, the twins, and so on... other than the fact that she used to blackmail half of Rosewood). She's a sociopath, she doesn't know what empathy is, she even smiled when Mona's death was announced, she let her friends being framed for a murder they didn't commit (actually, a murder that never happened at all... I'm not talking about Bethany). I even doubt she has feeling for Emily, she used her once again as her personal puppet.

I did like Mona but, even though I don't want to compare them because their situations are quite different, I never tried to excuse her: she ruined the girls' lives, and she's the one that started that -A game. She's not a saint, but Alison isn't either. So stop trying to make her look like she is. She's basically evil.
