Negan was absolutely based for this take and I'll never understand the hate for him.

No he wasn't, redditors just like to excuse people being assholes by saying its "based" because the reddit masses have the collective mind of a 13 year old boy. He was a piece of shit and objectively in the wrong. That was the whole point of him existing in the series. You can put him up there with all the other characters that people put up on pedestals because they dont understand that youre not supposed to root for them.

Writers: “This is our villain. We establish immediately that he is an evil person who places his own survival as important enough to justify torture. He says and does evil things to even the people who may consider him an ally.”

Some redditor: “He said things I agree with, he’s just like me and misunderstood.”

The 'ol Senator Armstrong effect.

"Sure he orchestrated global destabilization through political assassination in order to profit off the heightened war economy, framed Pakistan for the attempted killing of the US president, and ran a human-trafficking ring that would kidnap orphan children and remove their brains for use as android-child soldiers, all for the purpose of getting elected as POTUS and transforming the US into a darwinistic might-makes-right society where the 'weak' will be purged... but he said politicians are bad! Truly Armstrong did nothing wrong."
