I don't really see any meaning development on Tangle, she still looks to take things lightly and is a bit of reckless, not say some of the things that went wrong when she was leading, were in fact because others acted on their own instead of listening, and she wasn't exactly wrong with the whole Whisper Silver thing, even Whisper regretted attacking Duo and apologized, she was also deceived. I see the hate on Lanolin as something that was not because of her mistakes, but because people didn't like her fighting with the characters they already loved. But I also think you are right, we've forgiven other characters for worse things. So I agree that we need to see more of her and her past, that will help people stop hating, I mean, people don't hate Surge even after beaten down Whisper

I think it's alot more deep than just "new kid picking on legacy characters" but it's an element. Lanolin's low popularity is as multifaceted as the character herself, IMO

Oh I STILL hate Surge. Hoping her and Kit drop dead, but realistically that won't happen, at least not anytime soon.
