People defend Nathan too much.
Oh my gosh, I just finished the show today but over like the past month I've been slowly integrating myself within the fandom and WOW do people love Nathan Scott. I too love Nathan but gosh people are so blinded by his appearance, love story with haley, and somewhat appealing redemption arc that when he does something objectively wrong, it's completely blown over by. For instance, I see WAY too many people defend Nathan for what happened in s5 with nanny carrie; is it so hard to admit that he was just flat out wrong???? Like he literally stared at her skinny dipping in the pool whilst his wife was sleeping in the same room. Oh and he didn't immediately jump of carrie when she kissed him, as well as not immediately telling his wife that the nanny is trying to get with him. I fear a lot of the mess carrie caused could've been easily avoided had Nathan just tell Haley about her weirdness from the get. I understand a running theme in Nathan's character is that he's avoidant but like come on, it gets to a point lmao.
Also the amount of people that say "oh well Haley kissed Chris Keller"; that is SO MASSIVELY different. I'm not defending Haley in any way, but you can't justify one person's mistakes by countering them with the mistakes of a 17 year old mind you. Honestly, would you rather your s/o cheat on you when your both in high school and 17 years old or when your 21, married with a child.
