User blog comment:Maria Trimble/Is Allison REALLY Justified?/@comment-4525275-20120808073917

So, I haven’t seen a ton of hate of Allison, but I’m still shocked that there would even be any hate so drastic that people want her to die. Just, take a second and htink about how someone can react in such a situation.

You have a girl without a backbone, who would just turn over and accept her mother’s death and not think twice about it and fall into her werewolf boyfriend’s arms without a second thought.

You have someone who would react a little bit, but be no where near breaking point and continue to act as if nothing really bad had happened as well.

And then you have what we have received: kickass Allison. Is she making the wrong choices? Yes. But she was SO vulnerable after her mom died and her dad wasn’t coming forward and offering answers. And if you look at Allison’s reaction when Gerard tells her that it was Derek who offed her mom, then it’s shown to us without anyone having to say ‘Well Chris didn’t step up and inform her’.

So, in her vulnerable state, Allison latched on to the one person she thought was trustworthy enough to constitute her allegiance; Grandaddy Asshat (aka Gerard). He made a rousing, commiserating speech and he provided a final note from her dear, departed mother that explained everything (note: we still don’t know the exact contents of said letter).

And at every junction Gerard has been pushing Allison to fight,fight,FIGHT!Because that is what he wants her to do. He wants her to go into kamikaze mode.

Yes, Allison is spiraling into the whirlpool that was Kate’s attitude toward werewolves:Who gives a crap?But isn’t that to be expected with all that has happened to her? She’s allowed to grieve and destroy and be angry with people.

And there’s talk that Chris will seek out help for Allison. She’s not so far gone that she can’t be redeemed. Yes, she may do something irredeemable, but it’s growth. It changes her character. The fact that the writers believe that the fanbase can take such a change in a character and STILL care for her speaks volumes about how much faith in us.

I think that we should let it all pan out and see where this semi-realistic approach to grief and the changes it can bring to people takes us.

I found this on Allison's tumblr, I think it's a pretty good post.
