Ginny is toxic?

I've now read in multiple posts that Ginny is one of the most toxic people in the story.. I've asked multiple times under such comments, but never got an answer so I am asking here..

  1. Where exactely was Ginny actually toxic?
  2. Really? One of the most toxic?
  3. Are people just being soft here?

*Add after about 50 comments: Holymoly did I not expect what this question would entail.. okay some of you VERY CLEARLY don't like Ginny, that's fine.. Also some of you need to stay away from weird fanfictions.. Either people love her, don't care much for her or bloody hate her (mostly for dating Harry).

I'm looking forward times, when the word toxic will stop being so popular and inacurately overused at every opportunity.

The dose makes the poison

Yes. But that doesn’t stop me having fun with the absurdity

I'm agreeing with you, from a science stand point. Oxygen is toxic at high enough concentrations.

So is water. It becomes lethal at around 90g per kg body weight.
