I think people give Breaking Bad way too much credit in convos about art glorifying violence. If that show wasn't meant to make audiences cheer for Walter White, then the show failed spectacularly IMO. (This is a tangential, subtweet-y response to the current Joker discourse.)
And sure we can say "All those viewers just didn't GET IT," but at what point does that happen on such a scale that we start to wonder if maybe the show didn't "get" how glorification works, how media glorifies bad men, how people respond to such anti-heroes if they're "badass"?

I was unknowledgeable of the issues people had with Skylar White. I think Skylar is a hypocritical character in some ways, but not because of the vile reason people have. For instance, in near the shows end, she’s entirely occupied with wanting to have a normal life again (1/2)

But at what costs? She’s completely fine with going back to how things were, knowing all that had happened? How her husband was a hardened criminal and she was an accomplice in the beginning? I think the point in Breaking Bad is EVERYONE is BB. Not just Walter. (2/2)

But to know people blamed Anna Gunn for their dislike of her is sickening. She’s an actor. If anything her sparking intense vitriol toward the character shows her talent as an actress. That’s earful people would say those things about her.
