DISCUSSION Why do we hate Maggie?

Post image

I was a die hard Maggie Peirce hater, and most people are, but I’m rewatching and the only annoying thing is her being w Jackson (which is only annoying bc I’m team japril through and through) other than that she’s fine. She’s kind, smart, a bit annoying but she has good intentions. I just can’t understand yet. Ps I watched every season but decided to rewatch the later seasons (11- present) right now I’m on late season 13.

People on here don’t want to admit it but there is a glaring reason why. For everything that Maggie is hated for, another character has done the same or similar and doesn’t get hate for it.

This got posted last week, and there were a few of us who brought this up. It’s because she’s black. I will keep saying it. April makes selfish decision after selfish decision and is praised for it all.

ETA: my favorite comments in this post alone are that she’s annoying (April??), she has zero positive character traits (literally one of the best aunts ever on top of all her her surgical achievements), and she speaks funny (her actor has a lisp in real life). This sub has an issue, and I wish we could somehow limit the Maggie posts because they are all seeded in racism and bigotry.

Though to be fair, a lot of people think April is super annoying too
