In my opinion, Abby from TLOU 2. During the first part of the game, she is portrayed as the bad girl, but when she become the playable character, you understand that she isn't:

-Her father and friends were unnecessarly killed.
-She became pariah from her clan when she saved a member of a rival clan.
-She have been harschly tortured.
-She spared Ellie despite having occasions to kill her for understandable reasons.

I don't get why many players didn't changed their minds at the second part of the game, it's so obvious that the real bad people are Ellie and Joël. Theres no problem about having sympathy for bad guys, but you must keep your critical mind.

And what infuriates me is that people even harassed the voice actress because of what her character did. Come on, guys !

Every character that is supposed to be hated and the actor did an amazing job. For example, people used to hate Goffrey in Game of Thrones, while that is exactly the goal of that character.

In this case, the character was actually made to be hated, so it's off topic for the current thread.

Apparently the actor who played Joffrey even got like hate mail and threats. People are so goddamn stupid.

Can't agree more. I'll never understand such people.

The woman who played Skylar also got so much abuse. It’s wild that some people really can not separate an actor from a role.

I was scrolling looking for someone to mention Skylar. Skylar's actions are likely no different than what most people would've done. She was hurt, betrayed and trapped by a egotistical sociopath and lashed out in retaliation.

But people hated her because they loved Walter White. He was the “hero” and she was the shrill harpy. It was wild.
