Can you explain your memetic image? I am not quite sure I understand what you're trying to say.

People love flawed male characters and are willing to forgive them almost all missteps, but don’t treat female characters with flaws the same way.

To keep with the show the meme originates from: Think Walter white, the viewer is suckered into his thinking and supports most of his shit until he goes really off the rails. During rewatches of the show it is much more obvious that Walt is a piece of shit who can’t leave well enough alone out of personal pride.

Meanwhile skyler is almost universally hated during the first watch. That whore who fucked Ted and keeps messing up Walt’s plans? Fuck her.

And then you watch it again and realize she’s just a normal woman trying to cope with an egomaniac husband and to keep her kids safe from his crime escapades.

This is all true, 100%

I still can’t stand her

Remember the last scene of the pilot episode? No wonder Walter went nuts if that’s what his life has become

That birthday handjob while on a laptop shit stabbed me in my soul

I still can't stand her

That's the point of the meme,lol

But also they specifically made her character unlikable. You were supposed to find her irritating in comparison to Walter, who is an objectively worse person. I think that was almost the entire point of her, to make you side with an objectively bad person over the other slightly less objectively bad person.
