"So are all the people who hated Finn for just killing 18 people going to hate Clarke now? Because they should."

Well, I will start off by saying that neither of them should be hated by anyone (everyone has their own opinions but in my opinion neither characters deserve to be hated).

Clarke did what she had to do in order to get her people back. What she did was cruel and monstrous because she knew killing those kids and the MM who helped her people was wrong, but she proceeded to continue with the plan. Maybe she did it to save her people (just like any good leader would have done- because as Lexa once said "Victory stands on the back of sacrifice"), but it was still wrong to do.

As for Finn, he wasn't really saving anyone by massacring those "innocent" people. Though, he didn't think what he was doing was wrong because of his PTSD. He also just snapped. The Grounders were trying to get to him and kill him after he shot the first man who ran (who was seen as a threat by Finn).

Finn was sick in the head due to other people's violence to the point where he lost the sense of right and wrong, and Clarke just wanted to save her people. I feel bad for both of them because they were both innocent, peace-loving, good people in the beginning. However, war corrupted them both and they did terrible things.
