About Songbird and the general view of her from the eyes of fandom...

One of the things that surprised me the most was how harsh the fans against Songbird after finishing DLC. Albeit, I didn't expect anyone to coddle her; the repeated betrayals and last minute reveals were... harsh to say the least. I just didn't expect how quick the fandom was to dogpile on her and claim that she "deserved" what happened to her. It just made me stop and think a bit because Johnny Silverhand, who literally tries to convince you to commit suicide at the start of the game and is the man who bombed a tower that killed nearly a million people didn't nearly get criticisms compared to how Songbird behaves. People who dislike her also almost always side with Reed and see how terrifying Cynosure AI is. That was sort of the thing Songbird was forced to deal with on a daily basis because of a power hungry president tried to take advantage of her situation. I can see why one would like Myers, she is a very charismatic individual as every politician is and it is easy to love her. On the other hand, while Songbird and V went through similar things; V had friends by their side and wasn't forced to do anything by anyone. The "infection" was friendly enough and even cooperated by the end of the game. Songbird was pretty much alone other than Reed and Reed's adoration for his country would always win against his care for Songbird. Also remember Songbird went through this for years and eventually needed to lead Reed to his death as well. It must've been horrifying for her and you ultimately give her back to the government who will force her to pierce more holes on Blackwall and as what we see from Cynosure AI, she will being the ultimate destruction to mankind because of Myers. Imagine the feeling of responsibility and guilt in the Cynosure facility, the betrayal she feels when she was close to finally getting rid of it all just to get dragged even deeper. She still tries to save you by fighting AI even that point, her betrayal doesn't stem from her hate or dislike but rather desperate scratches. You doom her along with the rest of the world (which is already doomed and tormented) by giving her Myers. It is a betrayal to your and Johnny's principals as well. I am not exactly sure why people like "getting back" at Songbird when there is nothing to get back at to, Songbird doesn't hate you. It is nothing personal. When she is close to getting to moon she confesses knowing you can back out and she gives you the opportunity to back out. She is a good person who was tortured from a very young age for years... It is really hard for me to understand the hate towards her.
