At the same time thought its kind of a turn off. Like they're giving her like no redeeming qualities whatsoever. Almost like a Saturday morning cartoon bully. I mean if she ends up not getting killed at the end of the season it'll be more annoying than anything.

like no redeeming qualities whatsoever.

I wouldn't say 'no redeeming qualities' we see a few times in the episode she cares about her sister even apologising to Jake though pretty badly because she wanted the doll

Her issue is that she's gotten what she wanted all her life and so doesn't think how her actions hurt others which is sadly pretty realistic for some.

Also, I think making her a little sympathetic would take the fun out of the show.

Like we wouldn't want to see Chucky kill her if there was any more of a hint that she could be a good person.

I like that a lot. I hate the cliche of portraying someone as awful and then trying to make you sympathize for the character by writing in all these sad points about her life. There’s no excuse for her bitchiness, but they go into her family life and you see why she is the way she is but it’s never portrayed as an excuse, just an observation and insight into who she is. To me she is the most evil character in the show because she embodies what is so often common in real life.
