The answer to this goes back to what you said in "The 48- Discussion" forum:

"Just like the real world: Popular people can commit atrocities and nobody blinks, maybe even blame the victim. Less popular, not so."

Bellamy was a much more popular character than Finn was. Most of the fandom loves him because he was one of the characters from the novel or because they love Bellarke or because they think he's an interesting character. Bellamy can get away with murder and so much more. Whereas Finn was a less popular character. He wasn't in the books, people found his character boring, and some ignorant people think he's the reason Bellarke has not happened yet (Which we all know that Bellarke has not happened yet because Jason decided he did not want it to happen yet). Because of those things, Finn will get blamed for EVERY mistake that he makes. He even got blamed for cheating on Raven but was it really his fault? No. Finn thought she was dead or going to die soon. He was trying to move on. Whereas Bellamy did much worse things such as get his mother floated, yet people don't see any problem with that. Bellamy had multiple screw ups and "mistakes". However, Finn really only had two mistakes that were only partially his fault ("Cheating" on Raven and the massacre). And the other difference is that Finn had better reasons for his mistakes than Bellamy did.
