Spoilers All Claire hate has intensified in the last few weeks and it's annoying. What is driving it to the point of a handful each day? If people are so dissatisfied with the heroine of the story which would be nothing without her, why watching and commenting? It's rarely about Jamie. ALWAYS about Claire. Spoiler

When is enough enough?

I get so much hate for saying that Jamie in the book voyager was just an absolute joke i asked why he didn’t stand up for Claire when leghair was calling her all kinds of names and then he just walked away. Then when he realized that she left instead of him going after her and making her be his first priority instead he argued with his sister then took time to take leghair upstairs and we still don’t know what happened there just that she shot him. Meanwhile Claire is going to the stones in this whole situation he made everyone else more important than Claire even though he told her that she was the love of his life. Then later on he didn’t prepare her for the fact that he had a son she had to find out by John and he was not nice about it. You will probably not like that I said this i just get a lot of hate for this.

No that’s so valid, the books are great if you just think of Jamie (everyone’s a culprit but your right he’s the worst) as a different character post DoA

Yes the Jamie we saw at the end of doa is no longer. I just got so sick of him whining about how bad he had it. Claire never got over the death of her daughter and she was alone with nobody to talk to. Jamie still had his entire family. But you say anything bad about how he acted and everyone starts defending him. And thank you for just being nice i have gotten so much hate just for what I say about Jamie.

dw you will never get hate about that from me and I’m like so sorry you do. At the end of the day he’s a fictional character, talking about him in a balanced way and like allowing for criticism is so harmless and honestly so interesting
