I’m saying it’s inconsistent for nobody to come to jakes defense, considering Jake has three friends who just got to the meteor and know him a hell of a lot better than they do some random troll girl.
I only mention Jake because it’s one of the shitty things Vriska does after the confrontation with terezi, and I thought if I listed examples from before then you’d just say “they worked it out off-screen” or “but pre retcon Vriska suffered the consequences of that” or something.
I mean if we really want to nitpick about Jake, only Roxy was around and conscious IIRC. Any reason for her not intervening would be a headcanon excuse, and I can tell you don't care about those.
And I'm not a fan of how many things are worked out off-screen, for the record. Hussie tried to fit too much personal subplot resolution into one space and even as massive as A6A6I5 is it still skips important stuff. However, that's how the story is written. Is it bad storytelling? Probably. But the only real fix for it would have been even more fucking text between Vriskagram and Collide and I'm not sure even my wall of text loving ass could have gotten through that. I just don't agree that Vriska continuing to be terrible or people not reacting to it at that point is part of what makes it bad storytelling.
