I'm not comparing Lexa to Bellamy. That whole argument is pointless and I'm not getting into it. I pointed out many other crimes, and you picked Bellamy vs Lexa out of that entire list. I'm just saying everyone has killed, at this point. For survival. Kill or be killed. Survival of the fittest. Theme of the show.

And if you think Lexa did nothing wrong, she was raised like that, and that Bellamy is a monster with no regrets, then you fail to see the point of the show. There are no good guys, there are no bad guys. Characters make mistakes, characters redeem themselves, and the entire show is set in a grey area.

If you're concerned about me not condescending a character and slut-shaming them, then idk what to tell you. That threesome was the most Bellamy thing to do at that point in his story. It totally fit. Was it needed? No. Was it disgusting? No. But truthfully we don't know much about it either. So I just think it's stupid to go and judge that and call him disgusting and criticize his actions, all the while ignoring all the good things, and excusing other characters on the show for doing equally monstrous things. Bellamy isn't perfect. Nobody on this show is.

& I have legit NEVER heard Eliza compare Clarke to Katniss. This show is in fact not marketed towards Hunger Games. In fact it was promoted as BattleStar Galactica meets Lord of the Flies. All the reviews at the beginning of the show pointed out how it was much darker then normal teen science-fiction, even dark for the CW standards. Yes, the hunger games is about empowering young female with morals. I actually liked it. And that is something that it has in common with the show. But The 100 is much darker.
