Line 292:
* ''[[Bittersweet Candy Bowl]]'', Lucy's past habits of violence. {{spoiler|She got better}}. Also eventually deconstructed with how this affected Mike's opinion of her in the long run; he becomes ''very'' bitter, to the point where {{spoiler|his repeated rejections and denials of her feelings for him become emotionally abusive}}.
** You'd have trouble convincing a lot of the [[Fan Dumb|fans]] of Lucy's misbehavior though.
* The ''[[Ciem Webcomic Series]]'' averts it HARD. Both sexes are treated exactly the same, with [[Humans Are Bastardsthe Real Monsters|everyone]] being either a [[Butt Monkey|Complete Pincushion]] or [[Complete Monster]]. Poison Dart Eddie's attempts to drug Candi and Amy stand out as particularly contemptible. Candi only gets off the hook for stinging him because she was trying to spare other women from becoming victims of a serial rapist. Her burning Don to death becomes a haunting guilt that terrorizes her throughout her life, in spite the fact that he had already tried to burn ''her'' to death ''and'' tried to rape her. However, Kelsea Linney blowing up the Levens family's house is depicted as her crossing the [[Moral Event Horizon]]. She gets no sympathy for the false stalking allegations she makes against Denny either, especially since she stole his debit card ''for no reason''.
** Played a ''little'' straighter in chapter 24 than elsewhere, but only because the Kerpher Gang is made up of [[Paedo Hunt|child molesters]].
** The [[Continuity Reboot|book]] is also a bit straighter, as Candi discovers after Don's death that [[It Gets Easier]] when she snuffs a vampire. Granted, it was [[Shoot the Dog|self defense]] both times, and she still [[Thou Shalt Not Kill|despised having to kill]], but she is fully aware of the slippery slope she's on.
