it really does come down to the fact that people (both the audience and the characters in the show) are horrified with and pissed at shauna for who she’s had to become because no one else would. when they caught their first animal back in s1, i know everyone breathed a sigh of relief when shauna volunteered to bleed the deer. and then they just assumed, probably without asking her, that the same would be done when it came time to bleed a 14 year old boy. she had the most gruesome and heartbreaking job just thrust upon her and by the time she realized the reality of what was expected of her, everyone had already turned to face the other way.
and now for the first time, she’s taken a second to look around and see how everyone views her and decided to become exactly who it is they’ve seen her as since she skinned that first deer. a ruthless, cruel, cold-blooded killer that doesn’t stop to think before committing an act of violence because, isn’t this who you all needed her to be?
