Unpopular Opinion: Tara was Boss Ass Bitch, Gemma was a Manipulative Cunt
So I see a lot of hate for Tara and I honestly don’t fucking understand it ??? Like she put her kids above her fucking HUSBAND. DO PEOPLE REALIZE HOW HARD AND SCARY THAT IS??? The man that you have loved since you were kids, the man you have children with, has turned into someone you don’t recognize and you know you have to get your sons away from him and the club (that would kill you if they found you) so you are willing to go against everything you believe (loyalty to Jax, her love for him, etc) and turn on the person you love to protect your kids. As a mom I WOULD DO THE SAME THING! My daughter is my everything, I would do anything to protect her, even if it meant I turned on the love of my life/soulmate.
Gemma on the other hand loved her son so much but she loved the power she got from the club more. She put the club above everything (LITERALLY KILLED JOHN TELLER!) because she wanted to hold on to that power (which wasn’t even hers, she manipulated Jax, John and Clay at different times at an attempt to be in control behind the scenes) Think about it-how many times did she tell Tara or others who she was affiliated with, what it means, etc. She loved the fear and power SAMCRO had on people. She thrived on it and that lust and primal need for power is what ultimately caused the deaths and downfall of so many characters in SOA. Kurt, himself has said that most, if not all of the problems that arose were directly or indirectly caused by Gemma. She was ultimately a very selfish, borderline sociopath, character that always had her own best interests in mind.Â
