Bellamy has a special status compared to the other characters in The 100, this is what I wanted to show you with double standards I mentioned before. And it isn’t because he is main character but because people love him and I think some of them love him much more than they love the plot or the show. And while people love Bellamy, find different excuses for his crimes and keep him safe the other characters pay the price for it. The characters like Jasper, Kane, Finn, Octavia, Lincoln, Murphy and Pike absorb fans' negativity instead Bellamy.

Even you who admit Bellamy’s imperfection claim something which never was real according to the plot. Was Octavia really tried to put him away since beginning?

My point this entire time was that Bellamy isn't pefect, but that isn't a reason to hate him.

For me, I like Bellamy because I find him relatable. Not in a "I'm gonna go kill 299 people because I don't agree with them way", but that I understand his anger and his caring nature. I was Bellamy for a time and I still am in some ways which is why I find myself defending him while also being upset with him. Bellamy may be a fictional character, but he is very real to me.

As far as him getting cut slack, I undestand that you feel he is't beng held accountable. However, he (alongside Clarke and Kane) holds himselg accountable which is why he feels so guilty all the time. It may not be the "justice" you think he deserves, but it is what he has.
