User blog comment:BlueBarracudas555/Anna Maria Fans, may I ask you a question?/@comment-24141224-20150201213056

I personally find her to be hilarious, and I felt sympathy for her due to the fact that she was villanized for the sake of a love-triangle that lasted for about three episodes. And she's not a bad person like she's made out to be. The only time she was ever really "mean" to someone was when Jo insulted her (punching Brick was an accident), she shoved Zoey because she was causing Jo to SUFFOCATE, and she didn't even steal Zoey from Mike, since the two weren't dating.

And as for the reason why she seems to be popular amongst the older fans... maybe it's just the type of humor? Older fans can generally look past a character being "mean" and having that be a reason for disliking them, hence why Lightning (the character I find to be the funniest), Anne Maria, etc tend to be popular amongst the older fans. The humor is different, which is why younger fans tend to like Owen (fart jokes) or Tyler (slapstick). And for the record, I like Owen and love Tyler, but those two points are merely my observations.

So to answer your question, I find her to be hilarious and I can overlook her being considered "mean".
