Because they've been playing up her negative traits to the high heavens with little remaining semblance of the sense of honor she somewhat had in TDI. And her outbursts are a lot crazier since that process began to unfold. Flanderization, it's all there. And the derailment is there. They keep alternating between the calmer personality introduced at the start of TDI, the one who was hotheaded but not incapable of being rational and civil, and the maniac they just keep playing up to eleven without rhyme or reason, and don't know what the reasonable limits of that are. She was civil and capable of getting along with people once again in early TDWT. Even accepting at least some blame for the outcomes of their failed challenges again, and could be a team player even with her lingering bossiness. Few liked what she became in TDA, and that was what returned when TDWT spawned that stupid triangle. And they never made up for any of that even after the drama eventually died down. And her development isn't going anywhere because of that persistent routine. She's not emerging a stronger character because of it, only a base breaker. And they are just so damned over the top with it. Her outbursts and rages aren't all OOC but when that makes up most of what her time was once that bomb was dropped, that's flanderization. That's what the bloody trope is all about. Playing up one trait to death where it overshadows everything else in a character.

I'm very insulted that you're still putting me on the stand for this. Or that I even need to explain something that plenty of others have discussed and spoken of when it comes to this topic and related matters. Just stop it.
