8 Female TV Characters Who Get Way Too Much Hate

Oh boy, I may actually take a lot of hate myself for defending this one, but Debra Morgan gets a lot of flack for being annoying. An obscene amount of flack. Like, a Nickelback album that smells like Axe Body Spray and distributes mosquito bites levels of hatred.

And once again, a large part of that has to do with her face. People don't like it. They think it's both too expressive and she's not very attractive when she cries. Ugh. Why do so many females on camera still get so much criticism for how their faces look? Are we not enlightened enough yet, as a society, to move beyond this just a tiny bit?

Deb is also criticized for being ignorant of the fact that her brother is a serial killer, despite the many warning signs. But hey, would you ever suspect your aloof sibling to be running around at night with a bunch of murderin' tools and an endless supply of plastic wrap? Probably not. You'd just think, "Boy, I wish my brother would be a little more open with his feelings."

And even after Deb discovered Dexter's secret and struggled with the implications thereof, people refused to accept her character, continuing to write her off as an obstacle getting in the way of all that righteous killing.

Deb's cool, you guys. It's not her fault she has a psychopath in her family tree.
