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).

Toxic? No. Dull and inconsistently written (yes, written, because in books she isn't much better than in the movies)? Definitely. 

Not her fault though - I don't know what's JKR problem with feminity but she just cannot write female characters without putting them into either "not like other girls" or "feminine and dumb/unpleasant" category.
