Do y'all actually LIKE Rue?
I think people are conflating their stanning of Zendaya with their love of Rue. She's tortured, has a huge heart, and is just a kid, so I'm not saying she needs to be written off as a character... but is she actually likable? Or do we just all love Z so much, that we think we like Rue?

I totally see what you're saying, but I think for me personally, I do like Rue. I think she is a great character and I find myself caring about her and rooting for her, not just because it's Zendaya, but because I want to see Rue's life and relationships heal in the show.
The likability or lack there of is a testament to Zendaya's acting ability. We're probably suppose to feel conflicted about our feelings for Rue, and Z does an amazing job of walking both sides of the fence.
Yeah I definitely like rue and not just because it’s Zendaya because I don’t see Zendaya as rue. I just see Zendaya acting as rue. Rue I feel like is an addict that’s literally struggling with the death of her father she’s funny when she’s present she tries to be a good friend and girlfriend and she has her moments where she stresses me out but I just want the best for her.
Oh RealCarrieB!! This is a tough question. I do LIKE Rue...but I would not want to be her friend right now. I know deep down she's a good kid that's suffering. I think a lot of her negative/destructive behaviors are a side effect of addiction/withdrawal. Episode 5 was really hard to watch but I truly feel like she's hurting those she loves because her brain is just fucked up.
