I'm honestly not getting the so called hate for Rachel and that she is 'shitty'. I see it more people projecting thing that they thing to be true than not.
Is Rachel perfect? No. Did her leaving our girl Ashe at a bit of a awkward time in her life, ala right after Ashe confessed her attraction to her 'sister' affect her? Sure. But lets be real here: How would you react in that instance? Some might find it flattering and appealing. Others grossed out. Rachel was indeed right about how Ashe's attraction to her wasn't healthy, understandably so. With Ashe being a dual wielder with trauma and lack of confidence issues, finding someone for her would be dificult, and for Rachel, at the time, clearly didn't feel comfortable with that. Theres nothing wrong with that.
Now they are back together and the stirring of things is starting again. What happens this time around is anyones game. Maybe this time Rachel will accept Ashe's feelings for her, or maybe still be on the fence, or be that cuckqueen she semi intends to be. Either way, I find it utterly laughable from people saying she's shitty and horrible.
This conversation has been done to death but it boils down to this;
Rachel basically acted as the emotional anchor to Ashe during their youth, Rachel thus knows about Ashe's immense issues with anxiety and self-image due to being a duplo. Rachel also knows that Ashe has issues standing up for herself due to previous issues. Rachel also knows that due to all of this, Ashe has to be handled a certain way and she's likely had a lot of experience with calming Ashe down.
Rachel did in fact not try to calm Ashe down when the incident occurred. In fact, Rachel did the opposite in that she antagonize Ashe further even though she should have plenty of experience in being calm, but rather than taking an extra second to compose, she just assumed that Ashe had fucked her.
She then decides to completely go silent for a year, and when she comes back, she doesn't even give Ashe the time of day to talk about things and absolutely ignores her, which is absurdly disrespectful and selfish given that Rachel was Ashe's rock, the one thing she could trust in her life and she had that trust completely shattered.
Now, with what we know, Rachel obviously knows that Ashe had feelings for her. If we're going by the current thesis in that Rachel took off and did what she did to make sure Ashe didn't have feelings anymore - she then decides to
throw everything she did to Ashe down the drain by putting herself in the same goddamn situation again by deciding to get closer to Ashe. Again, this is so absurdly disrespectful and selfish as it will only serve to harm Ashe further and again, this is something she most likely knows as she doesn't come off as stupid. With this in mind, I always felt like their "make up" meeting felt weirdly shallow and it feels more and more like she just accepted that she couldn't keep running away and deflected things as best as possible instead of
genuinely trying to apologize and reconnect.. I am also just assuming that she apologized during that scene, I can't recall entirely.
Now if we delve into CQ Rachel, we more or less learn that her entire relationship with Ashe's best friend was likely due to the fact that she enjoyed turning her sister into a twisted outlet for her sexual deviancy without considering Ashe's feelings nor her consent, and now she's doing a similar thing with Rapecop and has even started to lightly gaslight Ashe and behave even more antagonistic.
I won't reply further because this debate has been done to death - that being said, I cannot fathom anyone finding Rachel to be a "good" person. Even if we're just looking at 'baseline' Rachel she's at best completely selfish and has no respect for Ashe. If we then involve CQ Rachel then she firmly shines as a pretty horrendous human being.
Seriously speaking, there is no "projection" here with just reading the literal line of texts we're being presented and quantifying her behaviour.
